Best Historic Restaurants in York

We ordered French onion soup, pork cheek to start which was delicious. Me and my partner both had the fillet steak with truffle and Parmesan fries, onion rings and mac n cheese everything was 10/10 no faults. Steak cooked perfectly. For desert I had the baked Alaska and my partner had sticky toffee pudding both were fantastic! Jonathan our server was amazing too!

We’d seen the restaurant on a Facebook post and that they did the best Steak & Ale pie, we were not disappointed! Cooked fresh taking about thirty minutes to prepare, we already knew this so we had a starter and we hardly noticed the 30 minutes. Friendly staff, beautiful surroundings and the music was perfect! It was our anniversary so it felt right to have the most amazing food, in such a carefully curated place. You must book ahead (we did), when we arrived, walk ins were being turned away as they were fully booked. York is worth visiting just for this dining experience alone!

What a lovely venue, food and staff. Everything seemed just right for a “date-night,” great ambience that gave us a feeling of privacy, yet not isolated, an engaged and pleasant waiter that didn’t overdo any interactions, food that was expertly prepared but that didn’t get in the way of conversation. A nigh-on perfect evening.

Staff were lovely and were able to let us have our table early, our server was amazing and told us everything about what we had ordered and was very knowledgeable about the different teas available It was a lovely ambiance with the piano playing in the background and very chilled and relaxed to celebrate my 50th birthday

Welcomed from walking through the door to leaving We had the 7 course tasting menu with wine pairings, there was nothing that wouldn't order again . Every course was delicious & the wine pairing was spot on . Excellent way to celebrate a birthday
