   Service was excellent. We had the Brie as an appetizer and it was awesome along with some wine. Steak was very good but way overpriced. To be fair I didn’t ask what the market price was but $60 is Ruby’s level. I would’ve liked to have seen some options that included more chicken instead of just limited steak and seafood offerings. Owner/GM came out to talk with us and ensure everything was good - and it was. Definitely worth a repeat visit and try additional offerings.

   York Street Cafe NEVER disappoints! We had reservations. Although we were asked to wait 5-10 minutes with apologies, a server came directly to us, took out drink orders and brought them quickly and efficiently. We were seated outside in GORGEOUS seating and the flowers/fauna around us were just beautiful. We had the Baked Brie in phyllo for a starter, which was phenomenal. The seasonal caprese salad was SO good and made of locally sourced ingredients, along with fresh basil grown right there. Salmon was excellent and the peanut butter pie is always to die for. If you have an opportunity to go here, DO IT. They’re one of the best in town!

   I'll start with the positives: outside patio is lovely, the host and servers were very friendly, and the brie appetizer was delicious. Now to the negatives: entree served over an hour after the appetizer, and they forgot my side dish. Kitchen needs to get its act together! My $38 lamb chops were good but not great. There are no in between priced items. You can get a hamburger or you get $30+/market priced entrees. We had not been there in a long time and just were not impressed.

   I’ve gone to York St Cafe through the years and the food has always been good. Irv was great! Desserts (my family’s favorite course) was actually quite heavy! We ordered a wonderful bottle of wine, too. Love this place! Close to Cincinnati, easy to find parking, great for attending theater in Newport.

   We had a wonderful dinner in the Elvis Room. Very funky vibe. The food was good and the service was wonderful. We had a new server who did a wonderful job making sure all our needs were met. Next time we are visiting the area we will definitely go back and order desserts.

    Excellent service and delicious entrees. However, as with most restaurants, the prices have gone up quite a bit since we last visited. If you don’t want a burger, all other entrees are twice the price. Would appreciate something in-between. Wonderful appetizers, and the stuffed chicken was creatively prepared.

    York Street Cafe should be on your list of go-to restaurants throughout the year. The food is always delicious and they deliver on quality, tasty, and inventive (even with classics). They’re in an elegant old building and have a terrific patio.

    We sat outside and enjoyed a delightful evening. Unfortunately, it took over an hour for our meal to be served. My friend’s steak was over cooked and potatoes cold. My stuffed chicken was excellent.

    Friday night dinner excellent in-house-made soups and desserts made daily….the BEST. Salads are kept interesting and dressings seem to be house made though the premixed greens they serve are every now and then not the freshest. Best cheeseburger I’ve had anywhere! Fish specials need more variety than halibut and salmon, parmesean crusted or burre blanc. Love the new vegetable sides!

    There was a mixup about my friend's order. First she brought two soups when only I ordered it. Then my friend said "I was supposed to get a Caeser salad" which was brought by pretty quickly along with an appetizer I had ordered. Then we sat for a good long while. Finally, we asked somoone else because our waitress seemed to have disappeared about where was her dinner. Apparently, the waitress didn't understand that she wanted a salad AND the dinner! We were attending a play nearby and running out of time. My friend said she would just take it home for later. With just 10 minutes before the show was to start, she cancelled her order. We had been there 1 hour and 20 minutes by that time. By the time the waitress sorted out our checks we had less than 5 minutes to get to the theater. I am not sure what happened because I have eaten there many times before and everything went smoothly and the food was always very good.

    Group for Stained Glass Theatre. Service was excellent. Food was excellent. Menu selection very limited and prices very high for most entrees, causing budget minded to choose cheeseburgers.

    This place was once one of my favorite restaurants. Scan the reviews and find how many lead with that statement. It’s usually a sign of a restaurant in decline.The cute ambiance is still there, but the food is really average and way too pricey for the quality. My tab was $95 for a modest dinner for 2. I will sadly not be going back. Will miss the old cafe, not the same standards, quality and value.
