Halifax? Classy? Can't help you there!
Try Brookes in Brighouse. Always good food, and the most spotless kitchen I've seen in 20 years dealing in restaurants & bars. Probably a bit nearer to you is La Cachette in Elland, (same owner as Souz Le Nez in Leeds CC).

If you can stretch to Leeds.. What used to be Est Est Est is mean to be really nice. Not sure what it's called now. If not Bibis.

I was in La Cachette last week (I live in Elland). good food, £7 for a glass of large wine though!
Yes forgot about Brooks. Being once before a few years ago. Nice atmosphere.
I tried El Gato in Ripponden but its full :-(

Try the Villa Margherita in Ripponden if you like mediterranean style food. The food and service is always superb. The kitchen is run by Bob and Barbera who have a Greek background and front of house is taken care of by Dariel who is Spanish.

It is a bit of a way out (but a superb drive) but how about The Devonshire Arms at Bolton Abbey? http://www.thedevonshirearms.co.uk/

[smartie]

The Turnpike just past rishworth has just been done out and is still trying very hard to impress......

It's called Blackhouse and is quite good.

back from dinner, went to Villa Margherita in Ripponden. Nice little place, not expensive and good food. Worth a try and some nice roads on the drive in too!

[The Riddler]

A bit late now but the Three Acres near Emley is always good for me.

Quite good, not the best steak in Leeds though. Bibis on the other hand is not quite good!

Too late but the best place around is The Brasserie at the Bull. Fantastic food and great service.

Got to agree with you there ! Might have to try the place you went to in the end, never even heard of it ! Altho me and the t'other half want to try that El Gato place at some point.

Where in Elland are you anyway ? Im just up Hullen Edge Road by the cricket club, ill keep an eye out for you.

I was trying to help the OP out with suggestions LOCAL to him. And yes, I was taking the p!ss. Calderdale and Kirklees are hardly recognised/renowned for their culinary excellence! Ming Cottage probably excluded.

Where do you suggest to go for a decent steak I really fancy one sometime soon! Everyone tells me the Ryther Arms out the other side of Selby..

[Lanby]

The Rythre Arms

[StuB]

This being PH, I suggest at some point you take her up the OXO tower.

It's had some very good reviews.
