The Tannin Level in Harrogate

Had an amazing Sunday roast, with a soup to start! Service was great and staff were super welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend it does get busy so best to book!

A very welcoming place. The staff friendly and the food excellent. Full of flavour and good sized portions. The atmosphere was warm and the restaurant clean and tidy. Will return on another trip to Harrogate. Highly recommend.

A tale of 2 halves - excellent service and friendly staff. But meals came out within minutes of arriving, my partners pork meal was enjoyable but sadly my lamb meal wasn't as meat very tough (couldn't cut) and carrots hard. The brulee dessert were nice but cold and prefer when served warm. I didn't complain as restaurant was filling up with lots of guests at this stage. Sadly felt disappointed as opted for Saturday night more expensive menu and my expectations were not met so all in all poor value for money.

Very good! Goats Cheese Creme Brulee for starter! Will try to recreate that one!

After having this place on my bucket list for many years I finally decided to surprise my wife to a nice weekday lunch. We chose from the £23 for 3 courses set menu & we were not disappointed. The food was top class, well presented & excellent value for money. We shared 2 starters between us: the risotto & the fish cakes, both of which were superb. My wife had the lemon chicken breast & I opted for the burger which was indeed the best I have tried in years due to it being a proper locally sourced butchers burger with real slices of cheese & 2 hearty rashers of back bacon. Next time I would prefer to swap the fries out for a few hand cut chips instead as the couple next to us were eating fish & chips & they looked absolutely divine & a generous thick cut. We both had the sticky toffee pudding which again was a good sized portion & owing to the fact they came with 2 jugs of extra sauce they were not dry unlike we have experienced at other places. First time we have opted for fine dining in Harrogate town centre & we will certainly return again.

Lovely place, really tasty food and friendly personable service

Called for lunch here, not been for a long time and don't understand why? The lunchtime menu is very simple - fish and chips, sausage and mash, burger etc. I had the grilled chicken that was a little tasteless but the jus and mash with it was delicious. The burger was quote 'the best I have ever had ' Good sticky toffee pudding and crumble that was a bit too sweet served with ice cream. Only bottled beers available and I was shocked to pay £3 for bottled soda with my wine, would have not had it if I had known! Service was very good. Have to mention that some of the seats are very uncomfortable church pews, avoid if possible. Unfortunately we were given one although normal seating was available. 🥴 We will return for an evening meal and hopefully get a nice table.

Another lovely evening at TL . Excellent food and service. The place was buzzing even though it was a Monday night. Full of locals- always such a good sign.

Lovely staff,value for money, food delicious. Nice ambience.

We visited this restaurant as a family of four. We opted for the 3 courses for £20 although one of our party opted to try the tasting board as his main course. Waiting staff were polite, welcoming and service was efficient but not so brisk that we felt hurried. We really liked the feel the place. The food was everything we’d been lead to believe it would be and the tasting board was well worth the price. We didn’t sample the wines as this was lunch and we’d driven a fair distance so felt that it wouldn’t be fair on the chauffeur. In conversation with the waiting staff, we were encouraged to return to try the Sunday lunch. Based on the quality of the meals we had just enjoyed, we didn’t need much encouragement. Paraphrasing the Terminator, “we’ll be back”!

We had a very enjoyable Sunday Roast here. The food was excellent and the service was prompt and friendly. Although it was excellent, it gets 4 stars because it isn't the best in Harrogate but its certainly up there.

Nice surroundings, friendly staff & good menu. Food was lovely, fresh & hot.

I took my wife out for a lovely Valentine's meal here. My word, the food was phenomenal. I knew it would be good quality, but this was on a whole new level. So far, this is the best quality meal out in Harrogate I have had. The service was excellent, attentive but not too in your face. Well done, I will certainly be back at a later time for more.

Stayed over in Harrogate with friends and had a wonderful evening here. From the moment we entered the restaurant we were greeted with smiles and looked after brilliantly. I couldn't help but notice they had a 'front of house team of the year' award on the bar and it's not difficult to see why. The food was to die for, generous portions of high quality local produce; we all loved it and cant wait to return the next time we visit Harrogate. Thanks to all.

We were excited to try here after a number of recommendations. Unfortunately it did not live up to expectations. We waited a long time to order drinks once we were sat and our two glasses of white wine that arrived room temperature. The chap serving us replaced them with perfectly fine wine straight from the fridge but was very rude about and said “well if you want it any colder than that we can’t help you” which felt very unnecessary. We eventually ordered our food which when came was nice, but the whole experience was let down by front of house staff who were all a mixture of rude, slow, or inexperienced. Won’t be in a hurry to return

Lovely Restaurant and atmosphere food good.

I have been coming to Harrogate for years on business and never knew about this restaurant, but was recommended by customers. We were sat in the last room at the back and my complaint was we were too near other tables, and it was hard to hear what my table was saying. We shared the platter board for 2 which was huge! It would have done for 4 people and there was 3of us. One of us had the fish special which she said was excellent. Myself and My boss had the chicken dish. The chicken was a little dry and the fondant potato hard, which was a real shame. The front of house team were excellent and very attentive. Would I go back…….. maybe

We was stopping in Harrogate for the weekend and wondering where’s should we eat. So glad we booked here the food was great and the staff was great too me and my wife had great evening. Wonderful!

Fantastic meal last night as always from start to finish everything was perfect see you in a few wks

A lovely evening at the Tannin Level. The food was really delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful . The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. It is warm and cosy with lots of character . A very convenient location with plenty of parking nearby.

We have been coming here for a number of years, mainly in the evening but tried Sunday lunch which we enjoyed apart from Kale. This is cattle fodder and who decided to replace spring greens with Kale God only knows but it’s everywhere. The service and food was tip top but the experience was slightly dulled by the appearance of the place.. For example leaves which fell in November are on the steps and entrance and are a slip hazard. The decor is tired and the gents needs a new radiator because if you put it at the side of a urinal it gets sprayed with urine mist and stains. I know it’s not easy running a small restaurant in a small town but appearances do matter. Will certainly be back.

I can't think of anywhere better to be on a cold blustery day than having a hearty Sunday lunch. The Tannin Level and its staff consistently deliver excellent food and service and it's up there with the best of our independent restaurants. Good to see it being well supported for what can be a challenging month.

Our first visit to the Tannin Level, after recommendations from friends. It was a 10 out of 10 meal ! Service and food were exceptional, making it a great evening celebrating my Wife’s birthday. We went with friends and all the mains and desserts were amazing, highly recommend the chicken main course. Our new “go to” restaurant in Harrogate!

Fabulous birthday meal for 5. Lovely warm welcome and excellent service throughout. All the food was excellent, including starts of Boudin Noir, haddock and leek fishcakes and mushroom and fennel soup. The black sausage in the Boudin Noir was lovely and soft and very flavoursome. Generous portion with sautéed potatoes, spinach and a poached egg. My main of 6 hour braised featherblade of beef on mash with caramelised onions, peas and celeriac purée was absolutely delicious. The trio of woodland pork received rave reviews as did the sea bass fillets from the specials board. The meal was rounded off with a good choice of cheeses. We enjoyed a couple of bottles of the montepulciano which we thought was good value at £26.95. Refreshing to have the table for the night and not be rushed when restaurants increasingly limit you to 1.5 or 2 hours. Can highly recommend.

Whilst there are many restaurants in Harrogate, The Tannin Level is my firm favourite. The staff, ambience, welcome, and environment are always superlative. Spotlessly clean and well presented, down to the very last napkin, the food is exquisite. Yesterday's visit was as spectacular as always. Our waiter was professional, polite, and humorous and gave excellent recommendations. My dear friend, who is a wheelchair user, was escorted to our table by a wonderfully kind young lady. We have never had a bad meal here, and indeed, the Boudin Noir is the best starter I have EVER had - check the online menu for what this consists of!!! The Pan roasted duck, with accompaniments, was exquisite. A very warm welcome on a very cold January evening.. Well, well done, Team Tannin Level.. it was perfect. Thank you.

This was my first visit to this restaurant despite having lived nearly ten years in Harrogate , but it won't be my last . I was impressed with everything but especially the food . The fish was perfectly cooked and presented , and the service...

It was our first meal out in 2024 together with friends. As always the evening was wonderful. Food and service up to the good standard.

Thank you to the Tannin team for a lovely evening, but particularly to Sarah for your amazing service and generosity, we will not forget and will be back 🤘🏻

Fantastic lunch meal for my wife's birthday. First time visit and would highly recommend. Superb service, very attentive and helpful. Lunch menu was very reasonably priced. January mid week when we visited so fairly quiet.

Excellent food, they only serve 175 ml wine glass which is always known as a medium and 9.50 for a rioja which is very expensive, they refused to serve drinks in the back room as the card machine does not work, either ask for cash or ask to add it to the bill do not leave guests thirsty. The waitress could not squeeze between the chairs in the back room so made it very uncomfortable being pushed and shoved by the waitress. We did have an excellent quality meal.

Absolutely outstanding food - the mixed platter starter is fantastic, the fish, the fish cakes, the paté, the chorizo, etc, 10/10. Gorgeous beef main course, meat flaky and tender. Great service. Reasonably priced for the excellent standard of food and service. Highly recommended.

Wonderful food & service, never feel you are been rushed off you table. 2nd visit & it won't be or last. Thank you to all the Tannin level team

Ok but not amazing. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and attentive. However, the food was reheated, not memorable and overpriced for what it was. We were also rushed through. Sadly, not recommended.

Like to go here every Christmas Eve. Great food and great service. The best restaurant in Harrogate for me.

Had dinner here with friends, of which two are vegans. The vegans had the risotto with beetroot as a main. I think that £17 for a portion of beetroot risotto was pricey. It was eaten very quickly. Tannin level is a nice restaurant but pricey.

The family had a wonderful lunch - this was our Christmas celebration and it did not disappoint - all three of us had different starters and mains and all the dishes were beautifully presented and totally delicious.(goat cheese crème brûlée, French black pudding, Scallops followed by Duck, Cod, Lamb). We could not decide on a favourite as they all were so good. Ellie has made this a real gem - great atmosphere and very good service. A must in Harrogate dining 🙏🙏

Visited for Sunday lunch, which I would say was far from the worst in terms of quality & value that I have had in the past, but we left feeling disappointed. Presentation of the main course was messy, I couldn’t cut the roast potatoes &...

Great food and drink. Great staff. Great location. Great experience. Thanks.

Having heard great things about this restaurant we visited with friends on Monday evening. It was very busy for a Monday (which is a good sign) and it certainly lived up to its billing. The welcome was warm and friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed...

Still at the top of its game... The Tannin Level is a well established restaurant in Harrigate. We foolishly arrived without making a reservation, and yet the manager was able to accommodate us for dinner. Whilst it was busy (always a good sign).. it didn't...

Read some great reviews but can't say there was anything outstanding, the food was okay but nothing special, service, well they stick on a 10% service charge for a table of 6 and over why? When we sat at the table no one offered to take our coats and they just hovered whilst we sat waiting to hand us the menus. The serving staff were not attentive and we had to call them over to say we would like to see the dessert menu. Service charge seems to be an excuse for restaurants to rip diners off, I do know its discretionary and has been standard practice for a long time but service in the past was service, staff went out of the way to make customers feel special.

Despite being relatively local this was the first time of visiting after, in honesty, not knowing it was there until a few weeks ago. We managed a kid free early Christmas meal out and found a place we hope to return to soon. Food was...

5 of us had a lovely meal here one evening. Great service, good food but it's a bit dark! Had to ask for an extra candle for the table.

We were down visiting our friends in Harrogate and have been a few times before for dinner. Each time we are here we absolutely love the food and the service. I asked Sam, the Assistant Manager, about the Heatherblade of Aged Beef which we had...

Oh to live in Harrogate and be able to visit the Tannin Level regularly! My friends and I recently enjoyed a delicious evening meal and every single one of us - 7 in total - said it was the best meal that they had had...

Had the best Sunday Lunch in a long time last week. Have eaten several times at this amazing place. Food and service always of a high standard and its now a firm favourite with friends and ourselves

Had a meal here with my wife the other week. We were seated in the front of restaurant in front of the bar. Very little atmosphere. We both don't drink but were told they didn't do mocktails. Food was very good but my starter of king scallops which was £14.50 had only 3 of the smallest scallops ive ever eaten so very overpriced. All other dishes were very good

We all went (4of us) to celebrate a 60th birthday from entering the restaurant to leaving we were treated like a member or the family the food was absolutely stunning as was the atmosphereand service special mention to Ellie m our outstanding waitress our only...

Very civilised lunch with a friend. A nice relaxed atmosphere but quality food beautifully presented. We are off the lunch menu. We had the herb crusted haddock and then I had the chocolate parfait. Very tasty and as pretty as a picture , plenty of...

This restaurant is great for lunch but can imagine it's great in the evenings too. It has a great selection of dishes and a fixed price lunch. We opted for the fixed price lunch and everything was tasty and fresh. Great wine selection too. Service...

Fabulous Sunday lunch as always. The roasts were top quality, beautifully cooked, amazing quality food and fabulous service by all the team that are so attentive and on the ball. Thank you

Went with my daughter on 14th October, on our yearly visit to Harrogate, she has been many times and she said it just gets better, the food is delicious, and the staff are great, an amazing place,!!! We will be back.

Without a booking, the restaurant was able to offer us a walk-in table on a Saturday night. That was impressive. We had been told about The Tannin Level by friends who praised it highly. We were not disappointed. Our starters (scallops for me and black...

My wife and I were in Harrogate for a Church gathering, and on Sunday 3 October we decided to go out for lunch. I chose the Tannin Level from a list of available restaurants. We were greeted warmly on arrival, and shown to a cozy...

Excellent all round. Highly recommended.

Called in without a booking for early bird midweek menu having seen it online and we were really impressed ,the food was fabulous and the service was great too we will most definitely be back!

I visited with my wife on 26th September this year. Very friendly staff. The food was excellent. Our main course duck was perfectly cooked and the burnt shallot sauce was a perfect accompaniment. Overall, a great evening at an excellent price.

Hospitality, atmosphere, service, quality, presentation and timing were superb. The featherblade of beef was truly delicious. Don't hesitate to try here - you won't be disappointed. 🫶🏻

Had a really lovely evening, beautiful food and friendly knowledgeable staff. Wish we lived closer we would be regulars

Excellent food, great friendly service & atmosphere lovely, would definitely recommend

A unique building to dine in. Food was great and well presented. Staff were very friendly. A lovely atmosphere

From the moment we crossed the threshold the service was exceptional. This place has a lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere, no trashy music, just a lovely hum from the diners enjoying their evening. The choice of food was fantastic, making it a difficult decision but everything that was served was generously portioned and beautifully cooked, if I could have gotten away with licking the plates clean I would have. Definitely worth a visit, and we will on our next visit to Harrogate.

Excellent meal with good service. 11 in our party and the meal was enjoyed by all.

I have only ever had scallops once before in my life (not a huge fish fan) and because of this I would only ever order them when I felt they would be cooked well. My they were beautiful

Exceptional roast dinners. My partner (who is not normally fussed about a Sunday roast) said it was the best roast dinner he’s ever had! Beautiful quality. Will definitely come again when we visit Harrogate.

Another wonderful evening at the Tannin Level! Truly a first choice for excellent service, delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back again!

Warm welcome from the start, cosy table for. Wonderful selection of food & wines. Had pork 3 ways & slow roast lamb, cheese selection & chocolate dessert stunning & the Greek dessert wine was stunning.

This is the 2nd visit we've made here and once again we weren't disappointed. Fantastic produce cooked brilliantly. Lovely relaxed vibe, friendly staff, what a gem this place is. Great value for the quality of food that is being served too. Will be back for sure!

Greeted in entry and shown to our table. The restaurant was busy and had a great atmosphere. It’s such a cozy, welcoming place and the staff are just great. The food was very good. The wine is nice but a bit pricey. Good beers though!

Very tasty coffee and desserts.

Food ok, the young waitress very nice. But the older one wasn't great. A bit cold and, when we said we were sharing a meal.... she looked at us as if we were something she'd stepped in. It's not as if they were full.

A hidden gem and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening An excellent meal - nicely presented, served piping hot, and professional service too. We weren't rushed through the meal and were able to relax between courses. There are limited choices for vegetarians (as most places) and...

Don't bother. They don't deserve your custom. Food brought to table was not what was stated on the menu. The haddock was smoked ( not mentioned on menu). It was served with kale not the cavalo nero as stated on the menu. The kale hadn't...

As always the food , service and staff is second to none. Fabulous seasonal food, great wine list in a relaxed setting. Recommended for any occasion you'll certainly not be disappointed.

Excellent restaurant with an interesting seasonal menu, we wanted to eat early and had not made a booking so we were fortunate to be found a table at the front of the restaurant which suited us fine. We were able to avail ourselves of their...

2nd visit, it's now our "go to" restaurant whenever we are in Harrogate.

Nice surroundings. The stairs down to the restaurant were slippy due to weather but no warning. Staff were very friendly. The food was nice apart from the over use of peppercorns. The place was very busy, very hot and stuffy inside with no air. Few...

It’s been many years since I have eaten here just because there are so many places to eat in Harrogate. My wife suggested trying it and our group all enjoyed the food and wine.

Always loved this place, but not tonight unfortunately The staff are fab before I start Starter, fab no problem Main course, ordered duck and buttered greens on the side. The green beans were stringy to the point I couldnt eat them, the artichoke was vile...
