Located in St. Sampsons Square - a historic part of York’s city centre known for selling great meat since the 12th century - The Cut & Craft York is widely considered one of York’s best steak restaurants.

Boasting its own in-house master butcher and a signature 10oz Flat Iron steak, this elegant restaurant is stylishly decorated with historic features throughout. Open daily for lunch and dinner, with brunch and roasts on the weekends, it’s centrally located close to the famous mediaeval York Shambles and under the shadow of York Minster.

    Unfortunately our meal was not at a standard to match the price paid, but we did get a 50% reduction for one sirloin steak that was particularly fatty. The standard is normally much higher in our previous experience.

    Considering the reputation this restaurant had the service was disappointing, the hostess was rude and unhelpful, and our waiter was fine but very slow service and nothing that really made our experience memorable for this right reason, won't be rushing back

    I was expecting it to be the quality of milller and carter but it was like beefeater. The steak was poor quality. The service wasn’t that great either as they rushed each course to get the table free for the next customer.

    This turned out to be a very happy find for us, having travelled from Sussex to attend a performance at the Theatre Royal York, and looking for an appropriate spot to celebrate our 42nd wedding anniversary. A warm welcome at the door always sets the tone, and from that moment on, the service is exceptional. Youth and enthusiasm, experience and knowledge, all played a part in providing a truly memorable experience. The food is outstanding, with a sensibly straightforward menu that features very enticing descriptions. Even the sides are exquisitely prepared and served, and our fillet steaks were utterly delicious and cooked exactly as requested. The dauphinouse potatoes were a stand-out side which was already impressive with hispi cabbage, spiced new potatoes, broccoli with chilli and some delicious sauces to accompany the steaks. Dessert was equally impressive - especially the Baked Alaska, and the wine selection is comprehensive. There is a lively, but not intrusive accompanying rhythm from the ambient music, creating a great, social atmosphere and the service is attentive and sensitive. This was never going to be a cheap meal, but you will find yourself during the meal feeling that you'd be prepared to pay a king's ransom if necessary for such superb dining. Reserve yourself a table as soon as possible and share in the wonderful experience.

    Venue is very nice and staff are very nice and attentive. Food is presented well but personally lacking in major flavour/seasoning. Nice for a local dinner.
