Authentic Stories from Diners
It was too late to make reservations @ Skosh and so we decided to walk in and got a seat by the bar. It was comfortable (and quiet) enough to enjoy the delicious small plates of food served. If you did manage to make a reservation to sit in the dining area, pls appreciate that it will be noisy with all the dining guests talking at the same time. In total, we tried 11 items (included dessert) on the menu! Lindisfarne oyster, Skosh's fried lemon chicken, Singapore crab dumplings, Bombay potato dauphine, BBQ pork "burnt ends", the sea bream ceviche, the tataki salt-aged angus beef sirloin, the bbq sea trout 'thai style', roast hogget shoulder and the hoisin carver duck!! All dishes were great and my personal favs was the duck and sea trout. We finished off with the pink peppercorn creme brulee... A visit to Skosh is recommended if you're ever in York. Price wise, it certainly is heavy on the wallet but it is well worth it!
Really great experience, genuinely cannot fault it. I had one snack, a meat dish, a veg dish and two desserts with a soft cocktail. Each dish was spot on, good mix of flavours and textures, presented nicely and all the flavours complemented each other. Standout dish was the malted soft serve with apple and miso. My waitress was very knowledgeable and accommodating. It was busy but nothing felt rushed or pressured. I was shocked by how good value for money it was. 5 dishes and a soft drink being slightly over £50 was incredible.
We came here to mark a special date and it absolutely did not disappoint! The lemon fried chicken and the pork burnt ends were by far our favorite but honestly, we didn't have a bad dish. Yes its on the pricier side but the quality and flavour of the dishes absolutely justify it. We usually avoid puddings in places like this as we find they never meet the standard of the savoury courses however the white chocolate sphere was probably the best dessert ive had in my 30 years of life! We're only visiting York for a night but hope we get to come back again! Thanks so much for a special evening!
An excellent meal at Skosh. A small plates/sharing concept, with a focus on contemporary British cooking with an international influence. Each dish had a lot going on, however everything worked well and, above all, was extremely tasty. There’s so much innovation. Service was friendly too. Really enjoyed sitting at the counter watching the team of chefs do their stuff. I can see why this place gets excellent reviews. It’s a real stand-out which would easily hold its own with similar restaurants in London. A ‘must-visit’ if you’re in or near York. Impressive.
An unforgettable dining experience. We ate at 7 on a Wednesday evening and the restaurant was abuzz with the gentle clatter and clammer of contented diners. And crikey Moses did they have reason to be. The food was exemplary. We ate mackerel, chicken, seabass and tempura broccoli. The latter was so good my girlfriend ordered a second portion it really was as good a vegetable dish as I’ve ever eaten. Even the bread and butter was drool worthy! Impeccable wine pairings. No room for dessert. Our waiter was knowledgable and attentive without being overtly intrusive. A perfect combination. This place is most certainly worth the hype. We’ll be back.
