I visited this restaurant twice for dinner in 2 days, once with a large group of fellow conference delegates and a second time with my parents. The restaurant exceeded my expectations on both occasions, particularly on the first night, when with less than a week's...notice (due to being let down by another establishment), they managed to serve a group of more than 20 (with no pre-orders) in a very quick and efficient manner, whilst waiting staff remained polite, efficient and professional throughout. There is still enough choice on the menu to have caused difficulty choosing on both evenings. I would be more than happy to visit again if in the area.More

The service was professionally, friendly with suitably attentive staff, helping us to enjoy our drinks and dinner, Good quality food and service. The food...is fresh and well prepared and tasty. The art deco ambience we enjoyed. Would recommend and we hope to come againMore

We heard that the restaurant had been refurbished, so booked for my birthday & we were not disappointed. The Art Deco decor in the hotel & restaurant is fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit for afternoon tea. We really like the choice of savoury &...classic options as 2 of us were not big sweet tooth’s. The food was of excellent standard, plenty of it & copious refills of tea/coffee. The staff were very pleasant & attentive. If you want a traditional afternoon tea with cloth napkins in beautiful surroundings then we can recommend this. We travelled all the way from York & will return. If it is your birthday too & 4 of you dine, you get the birthday person receives a free afternoon tea! We will be back to sample the Sunday lunch when next back in Doncaster, as it is worth the trip.More

First time I've had food here and it won't be the last. The afternoon tea was excellent and value for money. There were 3 of us and we couldn't eat everything as the amount of food shocked me. The staff were friendly and the art...deco atmosphere made it more special.More

Reasonable variety on the menu - although a couple of items were unavailable. Quality is good, and fairly traditional. Service good, staff very friendly and helpful.

Popped in for afternoon tea with my hubby. We chose a classic and a savoury afternoon tea to share between us.. both were well presented with a good selection of everything. My husband had the pork pie from the savoury choice and said it was...gorgeous. The service was impeccable..welcoming and friendly absolutely professional. Covid precautions were followed to the letter everything was spotless. Would highly recommend!More

Had a fabulous night. Staff were brilliant and very friendly. Food was excellent. Queen Tribute wasn’t the best but a good night was had by all. 10 out of 10 for the venue food and very attentive staff.

Booked afternoon tea for my Nana’s 80th Birthday for 3 of us and it was absolutely lovely!! The staff were so friendly and even brought out a lovely “happy birthday” treat for my Nana! The afternoon tea itself was amazing, so much choice and so...much food which was brilliant quality, sandwiches and cakes alike! We were asked throughout if everything was okay and we were offered more tea and a takeaway boxes to take little cakes home! I would highly recommend the afternoon tea here, I will definitely be back! :)More

menu great choices but staff and team are very accommodating for all dietary requirements. The evening meals were very good and the breakfast choice amazing. Have written this in hotel review but as a restaurant would be well worth a visit anyway

We had “The Christmas Set” lunch at the Earl last Tuesday. The food was first class, I had prawn cocktail, Turkey with all the trimmings, followed by the cheese platter. All were exceptional. They even served mince pies with coffee to finish things off. The...tables were decorated with crackers etc so it all felt very festive. The staff are amazing. Very friendly attentive and polite. This place is highly recommended, we will definitely be back.More

Went to the restaurant at the Earl of Doncaster - the Cafe Bar Concerto - for Sunday lunch. Good value - 2 courses £16, three for £18. Booked last minute and made our usual request for a corner table if possible; they said they'd see...what they could do, which is all we could ask. Easy parking - right outside on a Sunday, their car park at back of hotel during the week. Waitress acknowledged our booking, and gave us the choice of several tables, which was very helpful and appreciated. Both had a prawn cocktail with smoked salmon - very nice and delicately presented. I had roast beef, my wife the ale pie (the homemade pie of the week). Plates were (physically) a little on the small side - too small really for the portion size! A really decent side serving of horseradish sauce - not the grudging spoonful or two that some places offer! A very large separate bowl of cauliflower cheese to accompany the mash/roasts/mixed veg. My beef was slightly on the pink side - my fault, as I should have asked for it well done (I like mine as brown and textured as shoe leather!). Couldn't face dessert after the very full servings. A decent shiraz wine, and water offered to be brought to the table without us having to ask. Staff were very attentive. Table layout seems really good, with some seating in a slightly raised area (definitely worth asking for) and some with soft leather banquettes rather than chairs. They seem to do excellent midday meals for senior citizens (at just £10 or £12 for 2 or 3 courses) Downsides? given the excellent genuine art deco decor (check out their website for some pics!) the choice of music would have been far, far better as ragtime or big band - rather than a somewhat atrocious Jungle Book or raucous Tom Jones or other modern songs. There was a single big band item that played while we were there and it so beautifully fitted in to the surroundings! And the door from the dining room to the kitchen area is desperately in need of some oil - it squeaked terribly, and the closure each time took around 7 seconds of s l o w s q u e a k...! Oh, and management don't bother responding to or acknowledging reviews on Tripadvisor. That is really bad and shows total disrespect for your paying customers. Shame on you!More

Had a nice mid week meal in a quiet restaurant. Nice food although the lamb was over cooked. A few drinks afterwards and all was good
