Reviews in York

Great atmosphere and excellent food. Service friendly if a little slow at times.

Food great , service below average- they probably need a few more waiting staff. They brought our drinks but we had to chase someone down eventually to make our food order. Probably would have spent more if someone had bothered to ask if we wanted more drinks, dessert etc. They also forgot to bring one dish (was not charged though).

A lovely meet up with friends in our old stomping ground. Asked for the round table in the window as it's more private and was reserved as requested. Food was really tasty and generous portions! Staff attentative and helpful. Only thing to mention...music was abit too loud and made conversation tricky.

Started badly when I cut my finger on the savage door on the way in. I mentioned it only to be told that, yes it’s awful isn’t it, I do it all the time ;) my advice, do something about it! Got sat on table in front of the door and every time it opened it was blooming freezing, not helped by people coming in and holding it open to see if they could have a table. Asked to move and was told we couldn’t. I asked again a little later when I saw an feee table and they gave us that one which was fab albeit still not terribly warm. I wanted the Philly steak sandwich, but there was no philly………!!!! We ordered a latte but they couldn’t make it as they had no milk and “had to pop to the shop” :). A little strange to run out if things by Saturday lunch time. But, glad I couldn’t have what I wanted as what I did have (burger with bacon and Brie) was beautiful. Lovely and hot. Everyone said their food was really nice. Service good considering it was very busy. So in summary, mind the savage door when you go in, try to avoid a table near the door and ENJOY the lovely food.

Great food but sadly poor service & there were only 4 tables occupied. No non-alcohol beer/lager despite being on the menu. Drinks order nit quite right. When the plates were cleared we asked for the dessert menu (8.20pm) only to be told the kitchen was closed so we couldn’t have dessert. We were then told the owners were keen to close as we were the only ones left. There was one person who appeared to be senior who was lovely, helpful & very apologetic.

we booked here for my birthday last night 14/01/2023 and when we arrived we were told it was going to be a 45 minute wait for food even though this table had been booked 2 weeks prior. when the finally arrived it was awful the chicken was so dry and the onion rings wernt as nice as they used to be, they used to do lovely chunky chips and now they are thin undercooked ones. so disappointed ruined my birthday night out

We met friends in York on Friday 14th January and visited Oscars York for lunch. As always the food was excellent and service great. Our only criticism is that the music was so loud we could barely hear ourselves talk (there were only the four of us in the restaurant at the time so I feel the loud music was more for the benefit of the staff than the clientele). Please consider that eating out is a way of enjoying the company of good friends and therefore whilst we thought the type of music was great, turning it down to a lower level would be much appreciated when there are so few people in the bar to absorb the noise level

Food is amazingly delicious over the past ten years we have been visiting!

Once again a lovely meal. Cant fault it. Lovely atmosphere, service first class and reasonably priced. Cant recommend highly enough.

Great Food, Great Service & Great Price= went on NYE.

After 43 years in Hong Kong, we know a thing or two about authentic Chinese cuisine ;) And Maxi's York delivers big time. The Yum Cha (Dim Sum) menu is extensive, the ingredients fresh, and the tastes and textures superb. Excellent value for money at well under 20 quid a head for a decent feast for 7! Ambience was great too. We will be back for sure - and wish all the Maxi's team Kung Hei Fat Choi and all the best for the year of the rabbit!

Have visited twice recently 8th Dec with a table of 20 and 21st Dec with a table of 8. Service was fab on both visits. Food tasted amazing. I literally couldn't fault anything. We had two great nights. Thank you Oscars. We will be back :-)

Amazing food would definitely recommend.

No not happy when we came on Christmas eve I had booked the table to be told we had to sit elsewhere! Then no one turned up, also the food wasn't like we have had before no one came to ask how our food was, I've being going a lot of years in the past but on this occasion the staff weren't interested in us on the night, and the food was cold! £50 for 2 was not good for a poor night!!

Again another fantastically tasty meal at Maxis. My partner, a friend and I come here at least once a year, doesn't sound much but we live 30 miles away and there are Chinese restaurants closer. Always tasty food, attentive and respectful staff. The drive around York's ringroad is well worth it. We're never disappointed.

Food was lovely, service was lacking a bit - we didn't get onion rings with our order, so we asked for them & the waitress eventually put 2 onion rings on our table & we had to ask for knives & forks. They were clearly short staffed.

My birthday is on Christmas Eve. We arrived at 6:30pm thinking the restaurant maybe less busy, as is the case having a birthday at this time of year. We found the restaurant full of families celebrating and the atmosphere put you in a great party mood. Beautifully decorated and the staff were friendly and very efficient. This was our first visit and not knowing exactly what we were in for, looking at the extensive menu we went a bit nuts regarding the starters, The lovely lady who was taking our order stopped us from ordering too much, which is a first for me but, we were glad they did. When the food arrived the tastes and flavours were incredible. The main courses were cooked to perfection. One of the best Birthday meals I have had. we will definitely come back. You will not be disappointed.
