I have driven past this place on the way to a different restaurant previously and it looked modern & really busy so I thought we would give it a try. I will start with the positive. The food was really nice, the restaurant is smart and clean. Even though you have to purchased sides separately, they are generous portions. But… Booked the table for 4:45 pm and arrived to a half full restaurant. We were taken straight to table, seated and given a drinks menu. Nobody came back with the menus or to take an order for our drinks for over 10 minutes. What we observed in that time was that this was not down to a lack of staff, just a lack of active staff. We could see other people trying to get the attention of the waiting staff. Over the course of our meal, we observed numerous people either going to the bar to get their own drinks as they couldn’t attract the attention of a server, or to go and collect their own drink off the side of the bar because no one had bought it over, we also saw numerous people going to the bar to settle their bill for the same reason. One of the other reviews I have read on TripAdvisor has mentioned the same thing, that the waiting staff and service seems disorganised and I would have to agree. Point to note, on the receipt of the bill you will see that they have added their own 10% service charge to it, which on the website states that it is optional but they don’t give you the option when you come to pay. I’m usually happy to tip 10% for good service, which I wouldn’t really say we had, but prefer it to be at my discretion, though this restaurant is not alone in what is now becoming the norm that restaurants see this as an easy way to get more out of the customer wether it’s deserved or not.

Decided to book for a Sunday evening with a colleague from Holland and myself. Very glad we did, the service was outstanding and the steaks were Superb. Very close to being the best either of us have ever had.

Nothing but praise for this place! Been meaning to go for ages given how local it is and am so impressed. Great service, great atmosphere, great decor and most importantly…fantastic food! The onion flower and beef ‘spaghetti’ are a must for a starter! The steak main was so tender and cooked perfectly and all round excellent value for money given the overall quality on offer. Just nothing to complain about and will absolutely be back again…and again!

Was told this was excellent, was disappointed , T-bone steak was ok but asparagus was indescribable looks like u needed to order all the sides to bulk out the plate for an adult, Looked like children's portions , , Just wasnt impressed ,

Lovely place and efficient staff. And even though there are some lovely looking steaks on offer with more in a glass fronted ageing fridge, I felt that the menu was extremely limited on the steak front. You can get any cut, but at 10oz unless you have a tomahawk at maybe 35-40oz. The 10oz offerings are ladies steaks as far as I’m concerned and there should be 16, 20, and 24oz on offer. The steak was very nice though, but have to pay extra for everything which goes with it which bumps up the bill massively. A decent place which is close to greatness, but paying this kind of money I would go the extra mile for Gaucho’s instead

Steak wasn’t cooked right. Expected more considering the name of the place being a steak house. Steaks were thin and over cooked.i know hard to medium rare a thin steak. But it was a ribeye should be thick I could go on. I won’t. I was disappointed, not good for a steak house.

Fantastic visit. All food lovely. Steak could have been a little more tender but I'm really clutching at straws there, it was a tomahawk. Lamb chops were the best I've ever had but was 18 quid for 3. Which seemed a tad steep. All round lovely and will come back. Ben Clarkson. 4pm Friday

Currently the location shown on Trip Advisor is wrong! Luckily noticed the establishment on google maps else it would have been a missed oppertunity and if I stayed locally this would have been a favourite! The beef sushi starter was different and delicious and the lamb chops fabulous. Only drawback is that this did not leave space to try any of the meat treats! Hopefully another time.

Having passed this many times we decided to give it a try when it came up on our search for restaurants in Wakefield. I have mobility issues due to a knee injury so the stairs up to the restaurant was a bit of a struggle for me, but as I neared the top a lovely gentleman appeared and told us there is a lift which is accessible from the car park ( we DID see the lift but we thought it belonged to the veterinary practice downstairs) We were shown to a table and the gentleman informed us about the heater/blower above, and that if we got too warm he would happily turn it down but it wasn't a problem. We were undecided whether to have the 3 or 4 course menu - starter/main/dessert or starter/salad/main/dessert - our server advised that the salad was quite generous and maybe too much for one each, he suggested one of us order the 3 course and the other order the 4 course, and share the salad between us, so that's what we did. I had the mushrooms for starter and my husband had the 'beef spaghetti' - my mushrooms were absolutely beautiful and the sauce they were in was just delicious! My husband's beef spaghetti was just something else...strips of melt in the mouth beef with crispy shredded potato strings, covered in delicious sauce. We both had the steak for our main and it was absolutely perfect, the salad was also beautiful, I'm not a lover of restaurant salads as they tend to be quite basic but this one was absolutely lovely, and drizzled in a delicious glaze. We both had the cheesecake for dessert which was also very tasty. The owner (?) who served us was a lovely man, very polite and professional, chatted to us a few times - he even told us of a new dish he was thinking of including on the starters and asked if we would be interested in sampling it, he brought it to the table and it was mushroom with strips of steak, covered in some delicious sauce, it was absolutely melt in the mouth and we told him we'd certainly order it from the menu. He also brought me a small glass of lager to try as I was unsure of which lager I'd prefer with Carling not being available - I initially ordered a San Miguel when we ordered our food but the 'taster' he brought me was also very nice. All in all it was a lovely experience, the food was absolutely divine, cooked and presented perfectly, the staff were professional and attentive, and the restaurant itself was spotlessly clean with classy decor - I would absolutely recommend a visit to anyone - you won't be disappointed!!

What a fined!! we have know this place existed but never got round to going, everything was exceptional , sautéed mushrooms for starters, sirloin steak chucky chips tomato asparagus for mains, Cheese cake to finish. Normally am a Miller & Carter worshipper but believe (and my opinion only) i would say the Three Flames is as good if not better than Miller & Carter. And fairly priced. if you can just go to The Tree Flames and decide for yourself - you will not be disappointed.

We visited this restaurant for the first time for my son’s birthday. The food and service were excellent. My husband had the steak burger and I had the short rib burger. Best burgers we have ever had by far and not over priced. My sons all had steak which they enjoyed. I wish I had asked the waitresses name but she was very attentive and polite. Now my other son says he wants to come back for his birthday.

We booked for Sunday Lunch for 3 of us and after being seated very quickly and menus given we then had to wait 25 minutes before anyone came over to take ours drinks and food order there seemed to be only one person placing the orders. After ordering the starters came within 20 mins and were lovely and hot. Our mains then took another 50 minutes at least to arrive maitre’d came over and was apologetic but after 2 mistakes of drinks to our table and another set of starters and mains that weren’t ours it really felt totally unorganised. The main course finally arrived, mine and hubby’s were fine but our son had to send his back due to ordering his steak medium rare and was medium / well done also the veg was cold. The replacement arrived quickly and was ok. The desserts arrived quickly and were very nice. This was our second visit and I don’t think we will come again as we had a long wait for the food the first time we came but they hadn’t been open that long so we put that down to a new restaurant, it really it hasn’t improved. It’s a shame as we always like to support local restaurants.

Have been here a few times now but this will definitely be the last. Service very poor, food cold and staff turned unfriendly when we complained. We were visiting for our sons birthday (a party of 7). Skipped the starters and went straight for a main. We were waiting 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food. After an hour and 10 minutes of waiting I asked the waiter how much longer. He told me 10 minutes. I said that they should really offer a complimentary free round of drinks since we had been waiting so long and had already had 3 rounds whilst we were waiting, to which he said 'everyone has been waiting over an hour' as if that was my issue! When the food came out one well done sirloin steak was rare, two burgers were cold, a rare fillet steak was well done. It was a mess. We would have asked them to take the food back but after waiting so long for the food and all being hungry, we didnt want to risk another lengthy wait. We complained though and told them it wasnt good at all. Showed him the rare steak that should have been well done. He offered to knock 35% off the bill - which would have been fair enough if there hadnt already been 30% knocked off as a January offer! So in reality they were offering 5%. We didnt like this as we found it cheeky. In the end we did get the bill discounted, much to the annoyance of the waiter who then turned very unpleasant and quite rude - we did ask to speak to the manager rather than dealing with the waiting staff but was told he was 'busy'. There were also other tables returning food and so it wasnt just us! Due the lack of apology, unfriendly staff and poor service we wont be returning.

Such a let down

Didn’t really know what to expect as this was our first time dining here. I e got to say we weren’t disappointed, the food was outstanding. It took a bit longer than expected to arrive, but when it did it was worth the wait. We ordered the lamb & steak, both cooked to absolute perfection. The drinks menu is varied & very reasonably priced. The staff were both welcoming & attentive. The only thing I would say that needs a tweak is the ambience, maybe the restaurant needs a few screens to give the open dining room a bit more of a cosy feel, a few plants & dimmer lighting. However it’s a fairly new restaurant so I guess this will all come in time. Overall we had a great time & will definitely return.

Food was good expect they didn’t have the onion flower. Service was only ok. As we’d asked to take our T bone stake bone home and the waitress said we shouldn’t give our dog a cooked bone. Sorry but that’s our choice and our dog loves bones, cooked or raw he loves them. Also I have a gripe about restaurants charging a service charge. It really gets my back up. I always tip, and that’s a choice for me to make. Only for this reason I won’t be going again . I mentioned this to a friend who was planning to go but said because of the service charge he now won’t be going.

My experience with The Hide was somewhat of a mixed bag. Let me explain. My partner and I decided to go here for our anniversary - we are both big steak fans and wanted to try something new. Upon arriving, the restaurant was very quiet - for a Tuesday I expect this and it served us well. The lady who served us was nice, if a little clueless about what they did/didn't sell but more on that later. We sat down at a window table and was pleasantly surprised by how lovely the whole restaurant looked from where we were sitting. We decided on a corner-window seat as we didn't know how full the place would get later and didn't want to get in the way. I sat directly in the corner and was slightly dismayed to see that I had sat DIRECTLY under a speaker. It was rather loud and I had to raise my voice higher than normal to be heard by my partner sitting only 3 feet away. The server came to take our drinks order, and this is where things started to sour slightly for me. As a steak fan, I am also a huge fan of a good red wine to go with it. I asked the server "What wines do you have?" her response..."Red, White and Rose" - I couldn't help but chuckle slightly, so I asked what reds she had, she didn't know. The first thing any server should know is what they are serving, what is available and how much it is, she knew none of these things and instead had to go across the restaurant to the till, to check. She came back to me there was a Shiraz, Malbec and Merlot - not exactly a billionaire's banquet as you can see, but I reluctantly got the Shiraz - it was vile. I then got a pint of some-thing or other, and that tasted lovely. Partner got a gin and a cider, and again, no complaints there. Next comes the food. Like so many, we had looked online to see what was available and had chosen our meal, when we arrived, very little of it was available and for a 'steakhouse' the choice was rather lacking. We looked at the "menu" - which was a small piece of white paper with some items on it and appeared to have seen better days. For an establishment as outwardly beautiful as this, it was a big let-down to be handed a flyer - rather ruins the atmosphere in my opinion. We both got a rump with all the trimmings and a calamari starter - no complaints there, food was lovely, steak was cooked to perfection and the trimmings were delicious even if the peppercorn was slightly too peppery for my tastes. We had a great time there listening to the slow atmospheric music which was being played - if rather loudly and paid for our meal. The meal came to around £80, which was more than reasonable for what we had. My last point of contention is with the server's behaviour as we left. We started to make our way over to the door to leave, and she barely looked up from her phone to say goodbye - found this rather rude considering there was no-one else in the restaurant. All in all, a rather mixed experience. I would go again, but I would sit in a different place and lower my expectations going forwards. Special mention to the chef however, as he was lovely and came to see how our food was - you don't see that nowadays and it was a welcome addition to our experience. Probably see you again on Valentine's Day The Hide, even if the experience wasn't an overwhelmingly positive one, I believe you can do better and I look forward to seeing you try.

Average food for not very average prices. Knock £5ish off each dish & maybe forgiveable. Poor value for money
