I would rate this restaurant 10 if I could!! This restaurant is absolutely beautiful with the most lovely staff!
The food was incredible and the staff were all so kind, going the extra mile at every opportunity. I always find service adds greatly to the experience and how much you enjoy the meal and we were very pleased by the care the waiters showed.
We showed up early to our reservation and the staff welcomed us in even before opening, which we weren’t expecting. They were attentive and personable making the experience all the better. The waiters were such large characters with the best manners.
We loved all the food we had (the carbonara being especially tasty). The menu was extensive with plenty of choices available. Our meals were served quickly and had beautiful presentation.
The carbonara was perfect; I often find carbonara can be too rich but this one was the perfect balance! The lasagne had a gorgeous sauce and was again stunning. We also had desserts which were wonderful also!
The meal overall was very good value especially given the exceptional quality and the prices were reasonable - particularly for York. Also, it’s notable that there was no service charge added to the bill. I always appreciate this as I don’t care for being pressured to add a tip - especially since they are often added when the service isn’t exceptional. However, with the incredible service we received we did choose to leave a tip.
The atmosphere was amazing and was not loud, crowded or dark. It should also be noted that period products were provided in the women’s toilets, something simple but something to be appreciated by anyone who may need one. It’s sadly not the standard in most places but it’s little things like that which give the extra touch showing how the staff care and take great consideration to the comfort of their customers.
I’d recommend it to anyone and it will be my go to spot for a day out in York!!! I echo again that I only wish I could rate the place higher but sadly 5 is the maximum.
