I'm not one to usually do reviews but last night after being turned away from the new Dakota bar and grill on Greek street because the door staff said we couldn't come in with how we were dressed (start casual) we'd been out shopping through the day then in a few bars on Greek street so wasn't in shirts and shoes! We walked round to blackhouse bar and grill we didn't have a table booked and now conscious of how we were dressed the staff welcomed us in and got us a table after a brief wait at the bar. We sat down and ordered the USDA ribeye steak after our waiter highly recommended it with half lobster and it was amazing!! During our time there I got tooth ache and waiter helped me out by getting me pain killers, my friend has run out of cigarettes and asked if they sold them in which the manager came back with a cigerette and lighter for him! So all in all I could not praise the staff here anymore they greeted us and made us feel welcome (even though we weren't dressed up) then to do all that for us is just exceptional service and I could but recommend this restaurant anymore!
5 STARS
No matter what you see in the other reviews from obviously not normal people, this place is fantastic. We was served drinks straight away in the bar by a barman that had top banter. We was shown to our table by the hostess who could not have been nicer. We was then looked after by Jess who constantly asked if everything was ok. The food and drink was amazing. Overpriced???? Get real!!! Very reasonable. All over amazing experience. Can't wait to go again !!
Visited on a busy Friday night without a reservation but we were found a table quite quickly. Water was brought to the table while we ordered, followed by our drinks and bread. Our waitress was great, always checking we were ready for each course, didn't feel rushed. The food was very good, well cooked steaks and hot accompaniments. Wine was regularly topped up. Pianist was a great addition, helped the lovely buzzy atmosphere I prefer in a restaurant.
Wonderful Bubbly Lunch. After a thirsty morning of shopping i decided to head to The Grill on the Square (Blackhouse) for lunch. I only wanted something light so decided to choose off their new lunch menu. I chose my regular dish of choice; chicken caesar salad and was surprised to learn that the £12.50 included a glass of bubbly (a lunchtime treat). The chicken was warm, the lettuce crisp and croutons plentiful! Anyone wanting a spot of lunch - I would definitely recommend The Grill on the Square!
Great food... fantastic service!. I visited Blackhouse with my partner in April. It's our fave place in Leeds! The Steak is always cooked to perfection... and the live music makes it such a fabulous atmosphere! Our waiter was extremely attentive as always. It always gets really busy at the weekends... so we made sure we made our booking early as to not be disappointed. We will be back very soon!!
Friendly staff that look like they're having fun. Nibbled on some starters while having a cocktail. Nice terrace outside
Great food/Service. Service in this place is the best I have ever seen. From the start we were treated like VIP'S. Thanks emma you made us feel like you we were the only people in the restaurant.
And for the food, mussels starter followed by 225g Ribeye with homecut chips. WOW. Best in leeds...
Yummy food!. A friend told me about their new roast to share.
I couldn't believe it..it is the best roast in Leeds!!!
Ammmmmaaazzziiingg. OMG...the stakes of the month in this place are amazing they just melt in your mouth. Just how a stake should be. great atmophire and service the staff are full of knowlege. defo worth checking it out.
Great!. We always go to the Blackhouse ( too often probably!) and we always enjoy it! Last time we went we tried the Blackhouse platter to share.. good selection of starters! And the Chateaubriand was great as usual!
Good Night Out. Hi there, was recommended on urbanspoon to come to BlackHouse in Leeds. Can say was notthing shirt of great. The starter goats cheese with rocket was baked to perfection and my Sirloin with mash was the same. Really liked the live music and the good attentive staff, Jonny was particulary helpful!
See you soon
I think it might be instead my taste-buds maturing. The steak was SO AMAZING!! I haven't eaten steak as good as this ever, again this may be because I have previously been ordering medium to well done or go back a f
My first impressions of Blackhouse were beautiful exteriors and interiors. Comfy seats and nice atmosphere. Staff were attentive but beware the 12% service charge, which in all fairness was pointed out to me before I paid.
Menu was good. I had an oak smoked and pear salad which was delicious and priced at £12.50. We shared a lively houmous dip to start and my daughter had rump steak which although a little chewy was very tasty, £27. The steak didn’t come with anything though which I found surprising at that price. All in all very nice but pricey.
Absolutely beautiful food, everyone at our table got a beautiful tasty meal, steaks cooked exactly how we expected. Good portion sizes, and amazing desserts. Went and tried the panna cotta and was stunning. Definitely one of the best sticky toffee puddings ive had, and the ice cream was quality, didn’t melt too quick. Service…. Kitty looked after us amazingly, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.
Fantastic. Fast service, really good pricing for really good quality. A decent size portion and good waitron staff. Round about £50 for two people (mains and drinks). I will happily return and bring other people here!
Steak (fillet) was nicely cooked, but not very flavoursome in itself, and the peppercorn sauce wasn't to my taste, but the sticky toffee pudding was delicious... And the cocktails were also gorgeous...so strongly recommend these items. Service was excellent, with the waiter, Dom, going above and beyond and I was absolutely happy to pay the service charge for him! We were able to sit outside with our dog because it wasn't busy and they were the only steak place out of about 4 we tried that would accommodate us with that. He ate chicken and loved it!
We shared an amazing chateaubriand. They even had salt on the side of the plate to season ourselves. Our waiter was great, think he was in more of my pictures than my wife!
Great steak and service was good. Slightly quiet although it was a weeknight.
Lovely place and friendly staff✨
Would recommend two delicious dishes, ravioli and chicken with mushroom sauce 👌🏼
However the Swordfish wasn’t as expected
Not my first visit.
Nice atmosphere, but average presentation.
The night we went they we’re out of oysters, lobsters, and most of premium steak…
And the peppercorn sauce is charged extra.
The stars are mainly given to the atmosphere, the food cannot be more generic. Though it does bring people back once in a while, such as myself 🤦🏻♀️
Absolutely great! The food and service today were amazing. We visited today with our two children and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food and drinks were delicious.
OMG!!! Hadn’t been here in years so went for a lads meal last night & we got the Tomahawk to share, medium-rare. Alongside the mushrooms, Blackhouse Chips, peppercorn sauce, chips, onion rings & the Mac and cheese.
The food was on point and the steak was out of this world with the quality of the meat and flavour! We didn’t have to wait too long for the food having booking our table for 7pm on a Friday.
The only downside was that our server seemed to be a bit too serious with no sense of humour although towards the end he said he it wasn’t one of his days, hence no 5 stars. He soon cheered up after I tipped him a fiver at the end?! 🤔
Would I go back again, based on food only, 100% I would & with all the food and two bottles of wine & the Blackhouse memodiscoubt, it worked out a reasonable £45 each, so I’d definitely go back again!
