North Yorkshire Restaurants

The food was exquisite, the staff so polite and informative as usual. Two of our party were gluten-intolerant and the choice of mains (didn’t have starters) was very good. It was lovely to have a gluten- free desert that was other than ice-cream and I had the orange tart which was exceptional. Only downside was the thumping music from a private function wasn’t great for fine dining.

My grandson had pizza , and he said it was lovely, My husband had steak as always when we dine here , I had a lasagna which was outstanding , Service is impeccable along with the ambiance and atmosphere, Carolina who booked us in and served us was just so polite cheerful, help in every way making my grandson his first time at Lucia an amazing experience, we just love Lucia and travel from Norfolk just to dine with you guys. 😃🥰

Excellent as always. The staff were friendly and happy to help. One order came wrong but they were quick to make it right and a new meal was sent out quickly.

Great atmosphere. Very busy for a Monday night in January, which was good to see. Pleasant and efficient service. I had a halloumi burger and fries, which was very good, but it would have been nice to have salad or coleslaw with it. Very good overall though.

There are not enough superlatives to describe the Thai cuisine at the Optimist - it's a stunning explosion of taste and flavour. The service was terrific too and while the menu is perhaps a touch on the pricey side compared to other places in Northallerton, I would say it's worth paying that little bit more for food of this quality.
