    Did not like the oil lanterns on the tables. Gave me an instant headache. The smell of the burning oil was very strong.

    I really enjoyed my dinner tonight at McCallullums on York St! I ordered lobster ceviche for my appetizer and it was absolutely the best ceviche I have ever had!My Entree was cod over rice with a delicate tasty white sauce and it was very gormet!I liked the new atmosphere too. The remodel on the inside of the restaurant was nicely updated. The bartender made exquisite drinks and the wine list was updated. Deserts were still top notch format cakes and key lime pie! A gourmet’s delight overall!

    Came in wanting to like this place, but the kitchen took more than two hours on a Thursday night and multiple people in our group were disappointed with their meals. I was pleased with their cocktails though.

    Excellent independently owned new restaurant. Delicious, innovative strawberry burrata salad, pork shank that melts in your mouth and split a dessert because you won’t have room to finish it on your own.

    The updated decor is beautiful, perfectly complementing the building's charm while paying homage to the former York Street Cafe. It's a fresh, modern space with a nostalgic touch. Our server was exceptional, and the highlight of the New York Strip. It was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and of the highest quality. The owners, Richard and Jennifer McCollum, were warm and welcoming, and it’s clear they’ve created a dining experience that’s well worth the visit.

    We enjoyed our 8oz prime filet mignon and catch of the day - mahi mahi. Both were perfectly prepared. Beef was well seasoned and correct temperature. It sat in small pool of mashed potatoes-another spoonful of potatoes would have been nice. Mahi was a generous portion and sat on top of “dirty orzo “ with small bits of spicy sausage. Atmosphere is good, but noise level at half capacity was uncomfortable. Service was very attentive (Belle) We did not have dessert, but they have a nice selection of in house cakes. Small wine selection. We had a nice Pinot noir from willamette valley. The chef and his wife own the business.
