Oracle bar Press

“I’m sitting out in the blazing Yorkshire sunshine at the Oracle Café Bar. Its 6pm the offices have just closed and the place is buzzing. Waiters are rushing around taking orders for gourmet burgers. And at £5 these burgers are cracking good value - go for the tuna steak one. Drinks and dinner for two costs a very reasonable £17. Later in the evening this round glass building becomes more clubby with a posh members only enclosure on the first floor where the bubbly flows like the River Aire."

Here, moulded white plastic chairs cluster around circular tables with Burgundy-coloured tops, and the decor is minimalist and ultra cool. Lines are curved around the curvy bar occupying a central island looks like something you might find on an up-to-the-minute cruise ship........ Each towering burger was pierced through with a skewer to stop it collapsing. Any taller, and they would have needed scaffolding and step ladders........our waitress suggested we have the home-made chocolate brownie with ice cream. It was large enough for two and hot, so the ice cream sitting on top of it provided a pleasing contrast. More than that, however, much more than that, was its crumbly, melting consistency. The very middle of it was moist with melting chocolate and the total effect was as close to perfection as any mortal can hope to find. It was a brownie not to die for, but kill for.
Stephen Biscoe, Yorkshire Post Today 24.09.05

Leeds' newest and largest waterfront venue would appear to be appropriately named - the bar staff wise in the ways of all things cocktail. Testimony to this comes courtesy of a high-end martini selection, Thyme & Place reigning supreme, successfully blending vodka infused with the aforementioned herb, cucumber and Cointreau - an alcoholic salad if you will that's fresh on the palate and long in the memory. The Basil & Honey Dew is no slouch either, offering more vodka, more herbs and honeydew melon to add balance and sweetness. A former brewery museum, the impressive 360-degree space is split into two levels, featuring an outdoor terrace overlooking the river and prime beefburgers on offer downstairs.

’All-round, it’s a winner...you can’t failed to be impressed by Oracle. Unlike the string of poor imitations which have popped up around Leeds over the last ten years this is the real deal... a stylish, inviting place which offers good food and a wide selection of drinks in an incredibly attractive location... a menu which has had some thought invested in it... everything is made from scratch using quality, often local, ingredients... the crisp tasty texture of the salad.the meat actually tastes and looks like the meat it purports to be... represents good value. Nothing will cost more than £6...all the food came in good time and everyone we encountered was polite and attentive Star Ratings - food **** and value ****
Oliver Yorkshire Evening Post 10 September 2005

‘A unique and memorable dining experience that’s well worth hunting out... the food (around 20 home-made burgers), just like the feel of the place, is refreshingly cheery and unpretentious... some of the friendliest staff I’ve encountered in ten years of dining in Leeds, despite having no inkling of our reviewer/spy nature. Oracle is a fine addition to the city. This oracle foresees that a new burger king is about to be crowned.’
Steve Chawke The Leeds Guide 24 August 2005



Clubbing for grown ups.... By setting up Oracle they (Deborah De Vittoris and Stephen Hawkins) hope to cater for an older, more tasteful clientele. Membership (of Oracle First Floor) is discretionary but free, the clientele young, but over 25 and the atmosphere light hearted but distinctly up market.... somewhere sophisticated where they can get good service. The interior, courtesy of young designer, Ben Huckerby, is a lavish mix of opulent and minimal’
Rod McPhee Yorkshire Evening Post 16 August 2005

‘We were offered membership forms and allowed to luxuriate in the privileged, but laid back ambience of Oracle First Floor…. perched on a beautifully upholstered chaise longue, sipping a grasstagne and a raspberry bellini, we felt special. The Ground Floor... with its elegantly curving white lines... reminded me a bit of the Guggenheim Museum in New York and, despite being open to everyone, it still has an air of exclusivity. A revelation... Oracle is a one stop burger and cocktail haven’
Rosie Wild Metro News 10 August 2005

‘If ever a party was going to be big it would be a party thrown by Deborah De Vittoris (of events management company Hairy Lemon Ltd) and Stephen Hawkins (the man behind Townhouse and MPV). Separately these two know a thing or two about Leeds nightlife. What would happen if they joined forces?.......Ask anyone who attended the launch of Oracle, their new joint venture. The opening of the new two-level waterfront bar (Surely the pride of the new brewery Wharf development) went with some serious swing’
The Leeds Guide 10 August 2005

'Upstairs, downstairs bar heralds new chapter in city’s nightclub scene.’

Just to say thank you so much to you and your team at the Oracle for a superb Christmas Lunch yesterday. Everyone who went thoroughly enjoyed it and I have heard several people say that they were particularly impressed with the vegetables - which I agree with entirely as it was so refreshing to get something that little bit different.
With thanks and best wishes for 2008.

We all had a great time at Oracle last night. Our guests had a blast - there were several wanting Oracle membership!

Many thanks for all yours, Deborah's and Stephen's help and please pass on my thanks to John and Sarah who ensured all went smoothly. Also please pass my thanks to Mark at the door, the bar staff and the girls, who not least braved the cold for a photo shoot.

Look forward to repeating the occasion soon

Many thanks,

Andy

I wanted to drop you a line to thank you for helping us arrange our event at Oracle on 6 March.
The event was a huge success and we've had many complimentary emails regarding the venue and the quality of the food. Thanks to all involved.

I wanted to give you some feedback regarding our experience as customers. The staff were very helpful when we were setting up the room and overall we were happy with the service.

We hope to run 2 more this year at Oracle. There is hope that we will run them regularly in future as well so I look forward to establishing a relationship with you and the team over time.

Kind regards
