Authentic Stories from Diners
Had the valentines special private dining meal with paired wines. The food was excellent and coherent service was fantastic. We will definitely return the next time we are in York.
Amazing food - great flavour combinations cooked really well. All of the staff were welcoming and fantastic, attentive without rushing you through your meal. We enjoyed a great wine with our meal and left feeling very full and having enjoyed a special night out. Thank you!
I want to be honest and clear...the food is good but it's almost cooked ready to be ordered. Takes 2-3 minutes to arrive at the table from when you ordered it. That might not be a good sign. I understand why it happens though. In the summer they even have 600 people a day and then it's understandable.
I had a very nice experience here. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly. I ordered the Yorkshire pudding and the slow cooked beef cheek. As a general comment I would like to see more vegetables in the dishes. The Yorkshire pudding is nice. I quite like the inconsistent starchy texture of the gravy, and it gives a lot of umami flavor as well. The horseradish is a nice touch that balances the flavors. The beef cheek with risotto is also good, but it was seasoned aggressively salty, which hid the flavors of the ingredients. The cooking of the beef is great, and the barley provides an interesting chewy texture. Note that WHO recommends a daily salt intake of 5 grams. As for these two dishes , I think they have more than 2.5 grams of salt in them. So this restaurant can be a nice destination for your trip, but maybe not a good place to eat regularly.
First time visiting as we had been gifted a voucher but we'll definitely be back soon, can't actually believe we've not been before as the food was first class! The boar bourguignon pie special was spectacular and we let the chef know that the dish was excellent! The staff are really attentive and tended to us on a regular basis. The whole building is quite unique inside and was decorated for Christmas, providing a warm and cosy atmosphere. We'll be back soon!
