Really nice looking resturant and staff were friendly and attentive. Great tasting food but unfortunately some of it was cold on serving. Equally the desserts left a little to be desired but on the whole was a good experience. Shame due to some of the clientelle and the time their were some more innebriated guests which threw the ambience a little but I understand its a saturday night and you need bums on seats.

What an amazing restaurant!! We were lucky enough to get a table as we were staying at the hotel - so glad we did. The menu choice was great and varied and our meals were delicious. My husband had the steak and said it was the best he’s had ( and he’s visited a lot of restaurants!) . Very reasonably priced for the quality of food . The hardest thing was what to chose as all the food looked great

This is a lovely (almost hidden) gem of a place in the centre of York. The food is excellent and the service is spot on.
