Bill's York Restaurant: what do users think?

Mista T: Booked a table here during our visit to York.The restaurant is pretty funky inside and the staff were polite, friendly and attentive.The adult meals were absolutely fantastic, genuinely fresh, tasty grub! The rosemary fries were awesome!We took advantage of the "Kids eat free" promotion. While the fish goujons were great, the burger was pretty disappointing. I know it was free, but it was pretty overcooked and dry. The wee fella ended up just eating some of the bun and chips. Didn't want to make an issue as it was free, but maybe one to avoid on the kids menu if visiting. The dessert more than made up for it though, with both kids demolishing the delicious ice cream!All in all, it was a very pleasant meal out at averyvreasonable price. Would highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: The kids eat free promotion was a nice addition!

Laura Morgan-Watson: Have been a big lover of Bill’s since I first went to one in 2014, sadly the quality of food has slightly gone down since then but on this occasion I really enjoyed my food. I had the ‘nduja & burrata meatballs…they were delicious and I also had a Rosè spritz which was refreshing and not too bitter. The other diners I was with had mixed reviews…chicken burger a little dry and the beef burger not as good as previous times. I cannot fault the service though and I also like the option of splitting the bill when you scan the QR code. Overall, 4* as I enjoyed my food and it was a nice lunch 😊

Alex Elliott: Great service. Friendly staff, food was good, fast and only lost a star due to the fries not being hot and not being rosemary and red onion salted as advertised. Had the vegan “dirty” burger which was honestly one of the best burgers I’ve had and the kids loved their food. My 6 year old said that he rated it “infinity out of infinity” which says it all really.Vegetarian options: Dirty vegan burger and a few other really good vegan/vegetarian options

Lyn Botha: I loved this restaurant. The atmosphere, the food, and the service were all great. We booked ahead, which I would recommend.Parking: As York is basically a no car city, you need to get public transport.

Shaun French: Great family place to eat. Not cheap but the restaurant looked great, the food was really interesting and tasty and the service first classVegetarian options: Kids get vegetarian options tooKid-friendliness: Immediately given a set of crayons and a colouring pad

31 Castlegate Restaurant: what do users think?

Ashley Wright: Great food, service and excellent value for money. The portions are generous and well presented and most importantly tasted fantastic. Thanks for a great mealKid-friendliness: Kid friendly

Papa.T: On arrival we were promptly shown to our table of choice, drinks order taken after a couple of minutes, and settled down with the drinks to choose from the menu, which had very good value set menu's of 2 or 3 courses, as well as a specials menu to add choice, staff were polite and efficient. We were there early so were the first in for the evening but the place soon filled up. The food was excellent and the courses were not rushed. All in all it was a lovely evening and will definitely be returning again soon. Update! Has now closed down and has opened up as an Italian restaurant.

Melton's Restaurant: what do users think?

Nick Wells: and the amuse bouche were delicious and generous. Then the rest of the courses were all fabulous - tasty and beautiful.An unexpected gem in suburban York.It's not cheap but this sort of quality takes time and skill. In terms of value for money it's a bargain.Vegetarian options: The menu is short but there are vegetarian options on each course and everything is delicious so you won't be disappointed.

Neil S: . Overall, it was definitely one of the best dining experiences we've ever had

Michelle Morgan: Fresh, innovative cuisine - tucked in a corner of York.We enjoyed every bite of the seasonal tasting menu and wine flight.It included seasonal mushrooms, scallops, beef and a few other amazing surprises.Cozy atmosphere with welcoming, knowledgeable staff.We’d definitely visit again.

Alain Salesse: Fine dining restaurant come and go and call in and out of fashion, but Meltons is a faithful constantly in his York culmination scene. It has a many years since we last visited,an I am pleased with report its just as good as ever. The food and service were amazing and and I cannot think of anywhere else I would rather go that there for a special night out

Edvyn Andy Wongso: . Two of our guests left with saying "it was one of the best meals in my life". Thank you, Melton's, for creating us beautiful memories.Parking: There is a public carpark just across the road.

David Kinder: Great local restaurant, amazing food and service

Loch Fyne Restaurant & Bar: what do users think?

John Grant: My go to fish restaurant on our twice yearly visits to York from Scotland. Varied menu excellently cooked and reasonably priced.I just wish they would do draught beer being owned by Greene King, though this does not detract from my liking of this restaurant.The staff are attentive, polite and very courteous.

The Blue Barbakan: what do users think?

Ionela Voinescu: Recommended dishes Pierogi Spinach

Corrie: Absolutely incredible! I arrived early enough for the early dinner menu and enjoyed Spinach perogies as an appetizer, a tender goulash with delicious potato pancake and side salad, as well as an incredible cappuccino cake that reminded me of tiramisu! The raspberry beer was also very tasty! Portion sizes are generous and the staff incredibly friendly. All at very reasonable prices!

Murekh Ll: . My wife really enjoyed the Pierogi and the rose wine on offer. Staff were very attentive and could not have done more for us. My favourite restaurant in York.

The Ivy St Helen's Square York: what do users think?

Joseph Newman: It’s a nice, nowhere near Ivy London, Manchester, or Leeds. It’s a very toned down version with, for example, a coat stand rather than a wardrobe or cloak room. Service is the same for every guest, courteous but standardised, and the food and drink selection is reasonable. On this visit there was a full range, which was great compared to last time. Overall, a good visit, and nice staff, food, and drinks.

Donna Drakeford: First time visit for me. The decor was lovely and the service was excellent. The vegetarian choices were a little basic, so as I am pescatarian, I chose fish & chips. My husband had Shepherds pie, and we all had arranchini balls to start with. My daughter had the same mains as me.The arranchini balls were nice but would have been better served with a sauce as they were a little dry.The fish & chips were nice, as was the Shepherds pie. The Creme brulee was lovely, as was the chocolate bomb.Presentation was good, and my daughters peanut allergy was handled well.It is a very noisy, busy restaurant. The price was average for these days in a nice restaurant. All in all a pleasant lunch. If I was in the area I might call in for breakfast as my husband says it is very good, and the cappucino was excellent.

Craig Bond: Called in on the off chance we could get a table without reservation on a busy Saturday lunchtime and the front on house staff happily accommodated our custom to show us to our table. Once seated the service was very good. The only slight negative feedback I could give is that we were charged £4.95 for a bottle of table water offered to use by the waiter. Though at no point did we get informed this would be chargeable. Irrespective of this small detail it didn't dampen our experience and would happily return to The Ivy in York.

Cafe No.8 Bistro: what do users think?

Matt Davis: Describing it as bijou would be to do an injustice. We were in a group of five and we were treated very nicely by loving and warm staff. Between us we ordered a variety of menu items and all of us left happy and contented with such a beautifully presented and delicious meal. This is not something that suits an average student budget, perhaps more for the parents of students visiting. Located in the heart of York, with great decor and high ceilings, gave it an ambience that will last for many memories. The walls were festooned with a number of photographs which were very interesting. I can thoroughly recommend the fish cakes for starters.Vegetarian options: Staff were willing to tailor each dish to your particular dietary requirement. The vegetarian amongst us was pleased to have nuts removed from all dishes.

Ilana Zeldin: Fabulous food in a cozy atmosphere. Amazing steak. Great service and very friendly staff. The black sesame ice cream was delicious and unique. Recommend for an elevated dining experience in York for a great price.

Sara Ascroft: and no option it seemed to buy more veg. We both had the chocolate and black ice cream dessert, this was again another beautifully put together dessert. This place serves beautifully cared for food with excellent service.

Faihaa Naser: Very good

Vicki Till: We visited on Saturday and we're not disappointed. From the moment we walked through the door we were made to feel comfortable. All staff were very friendly. A bottle of water was added to the table as soon as we sat down. We were given enough time to look at the menus.Our food was amazing. Presentation was spot on.We would definitely return again.Thank you for a lovely birthday experience xx

Mark Reynolds: Just perfect. Proposed to my partner here. Staff could not be more helpful. Cosy restaurant, great ambience. Never too many tables so get the personal touch. Cannot speak highly enough for all the staff and the chef is outstanding. We had the most amazing time and food, the cost reflects the status of the chefs skills. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Booking a must.

lisa fretwell: Lovely early supper for four of us. Nicely focused menu. We had the goats cheese tart, fish cakes and black pudding for starters; followed by the baked aubergine, lamb and surf and turf. Rarely make it to desert but the pear trifle and banoffi were delicious. Excellent, personal service and not surprised they were fully booked! Highly recommend.

wagamama: what do users think?

Macauley Hyde: As I walked in the restaurant staff were quick to notice me and let me know they will be with me. Two members of staff said they would seat me. A female member of staff called Tina promptly seated me and asked me about allergies on two occasions before eating food. She was polite and ensured I ordered exactly what I wanted. Food was hot and tasted amazing. Paying for the food online was easy to do and Tina was helpful with this also. All staff seem happy and always look proactive. Service was very quick also. Highly recommend.

Shai Balding: restaurant, amazing fresh food with clean, lightly lit seating. However, we were tourists visiting York and the staff made us feel so so welcoming. They gave us advice about where to go during our stay and where to go to achieve what we wished. Genuinely exceptional staffing and food in an already fantastic restaurant.Vegetarian options: Most main dishes can be changed to become vegetarian or vegan, and there are also some that are exclusively those.Dietary restrictions: They can provide lists of the dish components and allergens if asked.Kid-friendliness: Excellent, healthy kids menu which includes a limited deal; colouring page and crayons provided

Alan Cowley: First post pandemic shopping trip to York. Needed lunch and luckily the first restaurant we visited was full. Then we remembered Wagamama. A well organised queue saw us seated in 5 minutes in what for us was a new layout.Staff so professional. Both my wife and I were about to order our old favourites when we both had a change if mind. My wife went fir the mackerel and I went for chicken, garlic and ginger, rice dish. We were both delighted with our choices.Great service, clean, bright environment and healthy, tasty food . Wonderful!

Upper River Restaurant: what do users think?

joe chu: The satay beef rice is my top choice, the wonton is my favorite, and the lemon tea is delicious.Next time I’ll try a cup of milk tea and comment again.

radek paleczny: This place is as close to the authentic Hong Kong experience as you can get without going to Hong Kong.Food is spot on!

tommy yu: The dry-fried beef ho is stir-fried with fresh rice noodles. There is no oil at all when stir-fried. The beef is crispy and cooked to perfection. It is not the same as the beef itself but has no tendons. The wok flavor is even better. It is really special. There's no such thing as a job that can't be fired even if you have such high and low skills.Baked Pork Chop Rice with White Sauce - This is my 10-year-old's favorite. I only ate two of them, so I can't say why, but I can tell by the speed with which he ate the rice.The salt and pepper tofu is dry enough without having to drink a lot of water after eating. The three-color peppers and onions are chopped into fine pieces and the flavor is infused. It doesn’t feel like adding a lot of onions and cutting them into pieces. Even if it’s green pepper, they really have the heart to make it.Western toast is the same as rice. I ate ten portions and couldn’t eat any of them. It’s just too much for a kid. I’ll order a plate myself next time.Caiyuan Beef Brisket Stir-fried River - The beef brisket is dry-flavored and juicy, but it is very difficult to cook it yourself in the UK. It all takes time and effort.The bakery was a surprise. I usually don't order it, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious. The gravy is juicy but not fat and juicy. Would you like to order the whole dish?I don’t think I know this guy well enough to help him sell ads. I met him for the first time today and I didn’t even know his name. I made this comment purely because I think their food and service quality are good

Michaela Knight: Wow, this was the most amazing dining experiences of my life and I'm 55, the food was fantastic, a work of art, every dish was explained in great detail, it was a master class in taste, how food is dried or frozen in order not to waste it, but every dish that came out was an explosion of detail, art and taste, we were genuinely in ore of it.The service was on another level to anything we have experienced, exceptionally fabulous, we couldn't find anything at all to moan about, nothing! absolutely amazing, amazing, amazing so much so we gave a 20% tip.If you are looking for steak and chips, then this isn't for you, but if you are looking for a once in a lifetime dining experience just go for it, we are already saving up for our next visit in summer.

Corner Grill House: what do users think?

Sarah: packs a mean punch when it comes to serving steaks. We had the Salt Aged Rib Eye and the Porter House Steaks and they were the best steaks we've had in a long time. Beautifully seasoned and the mains included two sides of choice. Each steak meal priced at around £36, it was actually great value. Wine very reasonable priced and we enjoyed a delicious Malbec with our meal. Fantastic Service and very welcoming. Modern and clean interior. Not a place we could take our dog but all the same it was worth it! Great meal out.

Nicole M H: Visiting York from the U.S. My Husband and I shared the 20oz aged T-bone with 3 sides. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection. For side we got the glazed carrots, garlic mushrooms and creamed leeks. All delicious. The Waitress was polite and timely. Restaurant is warm, cozy and comfortable. I only wish they had more dessert options.
