Get me checking into somewhere so far out of the LS1 area! You know this place must have been something special to get me out for that (although having a lift also helped massively!!)..
I'm a bit of a fan of Italian food, and also a fan of live entertainment in restaurants - so Sant' Angelo was perfect for me. I took a group along for a Shirley Bassey tribute evening & a meal, and they were both fantastic.
The singer started off with a number of Shirley hits, but also completely played the character well.. she then came back to do a 2nd set which featured a number of hits from different performers & also included a few tracks from Dolly Parton (where again she played the act well).
I massively enjoyed a very generous helping of spaghetti carbonara, while my friends tucked into a well portioned & tasty lasagne, rigatoni & finally a fishy type salad (can you tell I don't eat salad or seafood from that?) - the salad, I was advised, wasn't quite as filling as the other dishes - but what do you expect from a salad (not that I would know, I think I mentioned that I'm a salad dodger?).
The venue itself is very centrally located.. if you live in Wetherby.. otherwise it's definitely worth taking a trip out to enjoy. The staff were all fun, friendly, interactive & attentive and the venue itself is a beautiful setting for a meal, whether that be an intimate meal for 2 or for a larger group of you.
I only had one let down in the evening, and that was due to a slightly rowdy group at the table next to us, whom even the singer had to ask to quieten down a couple of times & I could also see that they were disturbing the other diners sat at the other side of them. I just felt that the staff of the venue should have noted that they were disturbing others and taken more action to quieten them down a bit - don't get me wrong, they weren't totally wild & out of control otherwise I think many people would have been vocalising their complaints.
We're already planning on returning in December, then again in April, so all in all it was a great experience that I'm looking forward to enjoying, and maybe I can upgrade to 5 star next time! read more
