Staff Service

Pros:

  • "The staff coordination is spotless and knowledge of the dishes & wines well rehearsed."
  • "They go the extra mile to research your interests and personality prior to your arrival."
  • "On arrival you will be received by a very warm and friendly member of the staff."
  • "I loved knowing why a plate has a particular name, the story behind the selection of ingredients."
  • "Really couldn’t fault the food or service."
  • "We discovered Home a week ago and were blown away by the staff and the service."
  • "The food was delicious, and the staff attentive without being overbearing."
  • "A delight. From the welcome to the good night. The service, food and drink along with the attention to detail and the personal waiter, waitress, chef and sommelier attention was wonderful."

Cons:

  • "I found the whole experience around this rude."
  • "The email response went on about the standards they uphold and to be honest pretty much said we were lying as nobody else has had the same sickness."
  • "Despite the very high price... our Christmas present to each other was a once in a lifetime experience."
  • "The waiter spilt half an oyster shell of dressing over my girlfriend without any apologies or acknowledgment of the act."
  • "Occasional reduced sauce may have been a little over salted and fondant at the end wasn’t runny so was very heavy but first class flavours compensated."
  • "The service was good, and the staff all seemed very nice."
  • "The service was efficient and courteous but somewhat impersonal and the venue itself itself also lacked something."
  • "Bitterly disappointed with our visit to Home... It seems this restaurant is not about money or possibly fresh food."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The variety of dishes and risk-taking created a dynamic experience but the portion size was spot on."
  • "The dishes were spectacular and the presentation was amazing."
  • "The food is very well presented and is almost on par with many Michelin starred restaurants."
  • "The food was incredible, with wine pairing up with the best."
  • "Fantastic experience having the ten course taster menu. Service with a smile. Very nice people. pleasant atmosphere to be enjoyed by all."
  • "Absolutely stunning dining experience from start to finish. The food was delicious."
  • "A wonderful eating experience. Gastronomically, technically and creatively brilliant food."
  • "The different flavours and combinations of food are amazing. Every mouthful was beautiful."

Cons:

  • "I stopped them putting the sauce on my dish the first time but the main dish, the steak turns up with mushroom sauce and a side of mushroom."
  • "Food poisoning! We emailed and called after visiting to try out the Autumnal menu to say that both myself and my friend had been sick the entire following day."
  • "Not good. A poor imitation of 'fine dining'. It's as if the owner has worked out how to create the illusion of fine dining at the lowest possible cost to the owner."
  • "The tempura langoustine starter was the tastiest thing on the menu, but the fish and meat courses just seemed unimaginative."
  • "When spending that much on an evening at a restaurant I feel that I should be fussy, so this is a warts and all review of the evening."
  • "I had an initial taster that was chicken liver pate coated in some kind of solid cocoa shell. God knows who came up with this idea, but it is by far the worst culinary idea I have ever seen in a restaurant."
  • "I have been to several fine dining places in the UK and abroad. Of all of these HOME was the most disappointing experience."
  • "We had high hopes for HOME Leeds and in fairness the food did not disappoint; the majority of the dishes were incredibly tasty."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "If you were hesitant, don’t. Book a table and go for the wine pairing that fits your budget."
  • "For a once in a while treat, I can't recommend this experience enough."
  • "Can't wait to go again but will need to save up a bit first. Expensive but worth every penny 🍽🥂👍"
  • "Despite the very high price and opting for the “enhanced menu” our Christmas present to each other was a once in a lifetime experience."
  • "The menu is changed at the beginning of every month."
  • "The tasting menu consists ten courses and costs £75 per person which is reasonable."
  • "I personally think it is great value for money, the attention to detail in the plates and all the little extra touches really add to the whole experience and a wonderful evening"
  • "Amazing experience at Home for our wedding anniversary. Little extra touches such as a personal greeting on our menu."

Cons:

  • "The price is a bit steep but let’s hope it’s only in anticipation of future milestones, achievements and Michelin stars."
  • "We do not eat like this very often as the cost can be quite prohibitive."
  • "I want to give 5 stars, however the value for money is just not quite there."
  • "Home is simply not worth anywhere near the £250 per head we spent. There are far better places to eat in Leeds."
  • "As my stars suggest service was excellent. But a big but with menu options taster only. Very self indulgent and pretentious."
  • "Mediocrity dressed up as a premium experience. Don't go if you're vegetarian if you want to be treated as an equal, don't buy the premium wine flight, awful waste of money."
  • "The food was excellent however the amount of optional extras you are faced with is a little confusing and devalues the entire experience."
  • "Very good food, but overall rather expensive - especially the wine selection offered which ranged from about £45 upwards per bottle."
