31 Castlegate - York

Plenty of choice on the menu. Good quality for both food and service. Unhurried relaxing lunch. Fair price. On the basis of this meal booked for a family celebration. No problem recommending.

Found this when looking at reviews under hidden gems and it certainly is. My wife and I had a 2 courses set meal which was excellent and brilliant value. The restaurant was not particularly busy but it is on the edge of the City Centre and it was also a Sunday night. The chef is obviously extremely good so I would suggest that give it a go when next in York.

One of our friends randomly chose this one for us. We had no expectations prior to going in, and we were simply wowed by the food, service and hospitality. It's run by a small crew and we were a group of 10- and they went above and beyond to make sure that we got served to the best of their ability. I would highly recommend it!

After reading a the rave reviews we decided to give this restaurant a try for our anniversary dinner with the family. The starters were ok but the mains were nothing to write home about. My daughter and husband had pasta carbonara and it was dire. Tinned ham with lots of cream no peas or anything else in the sauce and definitely tasted of tinned mushroom soup. My husband makes a tonne better version at home. My skewer steak was ok. But nothing to rave about. My son had the cannelloni but it too was bland and had massive chunks of cheese in it. For dessert the gelato for the kids was ok. I had the biscoff bannoffee but there was no toffee sauce at all. Just a very heavy layer of cream. My husband had the tiramisu but there was no alcohol in it and the coffee flavour was nonexistent. Again t was very stodgy and massive layer of cream. Service was good albeit slow after mains were done. Sorry all….I’d give it a miss.

I’ve never noticed this place before and a friend booked it for a birthday and it was absolutely lovely! A hidden gem and the food was amazing. Will definitely return
