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

Amazing quality of food. Fantastic service. Wanted something special for wife's birthday and our anniversary and it didn't disappoint. Given couple of Proseccos on the house and made to feel really special. Had couple of starters and then the signature flat iron steaks with accompaniments and it was cooked perfect and tasted amazing. Will definitely return.

Had an amazing meal tonight for my 60th birthday. All the staff were amazing, but we were really looked after by Tom & Brennan, serving us and being really friendly. They made our night perfect. Thanks guys. Shame they had run out of garlic bread which made my husband shed a few tears, bless!
