    A lovely cosy little restaurant which serves delicious food. It was lovely to sit at the table next to the window looking out onto a freezing cold winters night down the cobbled street. A nice atmosphere with friendly staff. Will definitely be back in the future.

    We came here on December 30 - it was a very quiet night, with only three tables in use (possibly because of the floods in York?) but it was still a warm and friendly atmosphere. The food was delicious, although it could be considered expensive. In fact, the only thing that would have made this experience better was if there had been more food on the plates, but I understand that this kind of restaurant is more about quality than quantity. Our waitress was great - unfortunately I have forgotten her name, but she was attentive and friendly and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. Overall, very good.

    The restaurant is located at the bottom of a small street thru a low passage which made it difficult to find BUT once we were in we were greeted with a smile! We ate upstairs which was busy but not too busy. I apologise for breaking a glass but like most of York the floors are not horizontal and it fell off! The lunch menu surprised me because I had looked on their website and thought the food was more 'foodie' but this is probably the evening menu. They didn't do starters but rustled something up for us to nibble on. I had the fish n chips which was jenga chips and fish bites with homemade tartare sauce. Hubby had the risotto of the day, wild mushroom. Wine list was extensive and good to see that even the 'good' wines were available by the glass. Pudding was treacle tart with lemon posset while he had the cheeseboard. Good to see that we could select the cheeses. Service was carried out by the single waitress who was unflustered and capable of managing all the tables. The overall cost was very reasonable, and the generous 2nd helping of the malbec was greatly appreciated by hubby. We would go back again and have recommended it to our friends.

    This restaurant was a great find. Lovely atmosphere, quite quirky in fact. The food was wonderful. We had the Sunday Supper special offer which was 2 main courses and bottle of house wine for £40 and was worth every penny. We were waited on by a lovely guy called Brad so he deserves a special mention too.

    We came back here, on our annual visit to York. As ever the restaurant is pleasantly cosy, being in historic beamed surroundings. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delightful, interesting combinations of flavours and beautifully presented. The creme brulee...well I thought I had tried so many variations that I couldn't be impressed....exceptional!

    Very friendly establishment with good links to the Wine Bar next door - which came in very handy as we were early for our table. Food excellent and staff very friendly. ~Would definitely go there again.
