Reviews

This little gem of a restaurant is hidden away in the centre of Ilkley. From the moment you've entered the restaurant, the service is exemplary and the food simply follows suit. Great tasting food, which examples real skill in the flavour combinations and artistry. This was our second visit for the Sunday lunch set menu and it was first class. We took friends with us on this occasion and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

We had the pleasure of having a dining experience here for my partners birthday. Staff were very pleasent and fun and we found the place to not be as pretentious as other awarded resteraunts. Food was incredible as were the cocktails. Also for an almost 3 hour experience price was very reasonable. Will deffo be coming again.

First visit but definitely not our last! This was an amazing night of tasting great food served by great staff. Great atmosphere I can’t explain in words how great every part of the evening was the food took centre stage. Many thanks to every member of staff from the front of house to the chefs.

Whatever chef Brado and the team did has given the Box Tree a fresh new menu and a higher standard than before. Having eaten there since he has taken over, there is an obvious increase in quality. The new dishes are bolder with an air of confidence from the new head chef and his kitchen. Front of house the service is excellent and the sommelier knowledgeable and happy to give his recommendations. Waiting staff were pleasant and professional. Location of restaurant means no on site parking but the main town car park is to the rear of restaurant with a 1 min walk. With a constantly evolving menu there will always be a reason to go back.

Went on a Saturday night for dinner, with Sommelier's choice wine pairing. Service was well paced- time between courses was perfect, we were neither rushed nor left waiting between courses. Some particular highlights were the XO dumpling, the dampersand bread and the chocolate pudding.

Sunday lunch here today and as a vegetarian I can say without doubt it was the best Sunday lunch I have ever had. It was exquisite and rich. I would highly recommend this place as a total gem. Thank you for a fantastic experience
