    Steak was cooked really well, but was an average piece of meat. The desert was OK but nothing special. In the end, we paid £175 for a two person meal and it was probably… disappointing. Sorry.

    We really loved the ambience of the restaurant, the food was excellent, and the staff attentive without being intrusive. At the end of the evening, the young man who got our bill took the time to have a lovely chat with us, which was very sweet. We would recommend a visit.

    Arrived an hour before our lunch booking and were seated with no problem. Ordered from the market menu, 3 delicious courses with a glass of fizz. Super efficient and polite staff, great ambiance. My 2nd visit, won’t be the last. Definitely a ‘go to’ destination in York for lunch or dinner

    We had a wonderful early evening meal here. £33 for three courses, including a glass of fizz, which was the Market menu. Our server, Sebastian, was amazing. He was knowledgeable about the wine and very attentive as well as incredibly entertaining! We won’t hesitate to return.
