   I never normally bother with restaurant reviews but we ate here last night and have spent much of today talking about how amazing the food was so I thought I should. Every dish was absolutely delicious, highly recommend the cauliflower, beef dishes and the boa buns. We had a vegetarian with us and she loved the veggie dishes too - highly recommend!

   After reading so many great reviews we thought we would give it a try . We were sat on a bench ( even though there were other vacant tables not opposite the door ) but my issue was, we were sat near the door so throughout our dinning experience all I could feel was a cold draft on my back which in January isn’t the best (and the toilets were freezing too ). The food was good but lacked spice and sauce on some dishes but the service was very good as were the cocktails we had . We are big foodies and always like to try new places …so left feeling a little disappointed

   We went to take advantage of the 20% student discount and two for £14 cocktails. The two FOH staff we interacted with were both very polite, friendly and professional at all times. The food was really nice, however the broth in the ramen was a verging on gravy which made the experience a bit strange. Very flavorful and tasty though. The gyoza was a bit overcooked which dried it out a bit, but still very nice. I wouldn't pay £12 each for the cocktails, so it felt more like I was just paying full price with the two for £14 offer. At that price point though they were great and worth it. The decor was very nice, lots of greenery and wood mixed with warm lighting gave it a cosy feel. Unfortunately there was a halfhcut family with an 18 month(ISH) child roaming around the restaurant and rolling around on the floor during the whole meal. Many times they came right up to our table and it was really off-putting. It was a less than busy night, so I understand the management not saying anything to their biggest bill, but it's definitely put me off returning on a weekday. Finally, the inclusion of a 15% ISH service charge on the bill was upsetting. I really don't like not having a choice on the tip I leave, and feel it's an Americanism we definitely don't need. However, I asked the server who it goes to, and he explained that it's shared between the servers at the end of the month, with none going to managers. It's a little more than I would have tipped, but not much, so I left it. An option on the card machine to leave a chosen gratuity amount would be much better. Unfortunately, this combined with the plethora of choices in York leads me to believe I will probably never return out of choice. A shame really, as the staff were honestly great.

    We had an amazing time at Forage, drinks are great food fantastic. Only criticism would be the prawn dish. Very messy, prawns not cleaned and hard to even attempt to get off the skewers. I loved the whole experience, waiter was fantastic. Smoked rum old fashioned yum. Will definitely be back again.

    Great meal. Cocktails were delicious and very good value (the Tiramisu tasted exactly like the pudding). Fantastic food, although the kitchen had run out of a few things by the time we ate. However, the service was incredible and our waiter gave us free snacks to apologise for a very minor delay.

    Great location in the city centre. Cosy atmosphere inside without being crowded. Did not eat so cannot comment on food but everyone who was eating seemed to be enjoying! Drinks were amazing - the 12 days of Christmas countdown cocktail menu was brilliant and we sampled quite a few! On the more pricey side for drinks but still think it’s worthwhile for what you get. Service was brilliant and staff were great.

    Very very disappointed with our visit. The contents of our chicken bao buns were so meagre I had one tiny piece of chicken in mine and the salt and pepper fries are hardly substantial. The waitress apologised but as it was Xmas eve I didn’t want to ask for a refund in these difficult times. It has to be said if you are hungry go somewhere else or get one of the pricier meals available. I think you should walk away from a eatery saying what great value it was not how meagre the portions were ! Small plates should still be good value in my opinion !!!

    Loved the atmosphere and decor, staff were friendly and attentive, cocktails were really fun and delish, and the Shori food was good too, especially liked the crispy chilli beef and the pork belly which were absolutely incred, sad there isn't time to go back and have those dishes again before Shori leave! We tried at least half the menu not realising some were full size dishes instead of all small plates and had to roll home! Would recommend going as it's fun :-)

    More a bar with food than a restaurant, however the food is absolutely delicious. We tried a variety of the baos and small plates and everyone was tasty, fresh and light. There was an issue with our check which meant we had been there for over an hour and not had food, however, it was dealt with beautifully by an excellent waiter. I was expecting an intimate small venue from the website, however it is a large venue which is quite noisy and busy. Absolutely fine, but if you are going for an intimate meal this isn’t it. What it is though is a vibrant, busy bar with great cocktails and incredible food by Shori.

    The food was brilliant - Shori. Really tasty and arrived quickly to the table. The bar is nicely decorated but everything was just too loud. The music was so loud you couldn't hear the staff. It would have been nicer if there was a separate bar and restaurant. Also, the service was not great. The staff were nice when you could catch one of them but we asked for water which never came, we had to ask for cutlery after we got our food, and had to ask for our drinks which took so long that they arrived after all of our food had got there. We also were waiting ages for the bill so much so that we decided to pay at the till at the entrance, and then when we stood up we were immediately hounded to pay our balance and had to explain we had been waiting for nearly 10 minutes. In summary, the food was excellent but don't go on a Saturday night if you're wanting food as well. I think we will be waiting until Shori can have it's own premises. I would recommend to friends who want to go for a cocktail or two but don't want to stay too long.

    Not as good as our last visit. Drinks were underwhelming & did not have the theatre of previous visits. Details missing for presentation & alcohol portions & flavours not as good as expected. Heard other guests say ‘is that it’ when their drinks arrived. Food although delicious had noticeably less in proportion of integral ingredients but pleased to see lots of veggie options & still delicious.

    A real shame - we’d been so looking forward to this. We’d re-confirmed our booking was for food through the app reminder, but arrived to be told the kitchen was closed. Also told by our server that everyone who had reservations had been contacted to be told this, which we hadn’t. Then a manager told us that ‘the kitchen had been slammed’, but said they might be able to do something. The few options available didn’t suit the dietary requirements in our party, so we stayed for a glass of wine whilst we tried to find somewhere to eat at 9pm on a Saturday. White wine that was lukewarm just made a sad experience worse, so it was time to go. Loved Shori’s food at Spark, but won’t be venturing here again. Really appreciate how hard everyone in hospitality is working right now, but a phone call just to cancel our booking would have made this better for us and their team.
