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.

    I had a meal yesterday evening for mine and my partners anniversary. I booked this meal as it was our anniversary and I included this information in the booking so a special gesture or acknowledgment could be made. no recognition of this occasion was made which is extremely disappointing. The service and the staff were excellent. However what let it down was the above and also the steak was freezing cold as was the sauce,considering the price you would expect better. Dissapointed and it’s such a shame because the staff and ambience was lovely and it was suppose to be for a special occasion.

    The noise level was so loud that we couldn’t hear ourselves speak across a small table. The food once ordered came so quickly I can only presume it was cooked at a very high temperature or microwaved. The fish was dry and flaky. The Cajun sauce wasn’t appreciably Cajun. The food was expensive for what it was. We didn’t stay for a pudding.

    Thank you Simon for your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with us didn't meet your expectations. Please be assured that all of our food is cooked fresh to order using quality ingredients, and while our kitchen team works efficiently, we apologise if the speed of service gave the impressions that your meals were not freshly prepared. We are also sorry to hear that the fish was not to your liking and that the Cajun sauce didn't meet your expectations. We will be sure to pass your feedback to our Head Chef. We're equally disappointed to learn the noise level impacted your visit and will take that on board as we continue to Improve our services. We hope to have the opportunity in the future to welcome you back & turn this experience around. The Cut & Craft
