Reviews in York

Truly enjoyable evening. Food was really wonderful, service attentive, polite and kind. Very Covid friendly. We have already recommended to friends.

This was our third visit to 31 Castlegate in the past three years - we incorporate it into our annual pilgrimage to York. Service and food were both excellent as always- the venison and lamb were both delicious. Just a pity more people do not appreciate what a little gem this is as it was quite quiet when we visited on a Sunday evening.

Really lovely meal! And efficient, friendly service too. Only small criticism being that I was asked about a face covering which as an exempt person made me uncomfortable (the legislation makes clear that signage is enough) but the staff member was friendly and kind. If Covid security is a concern for you you’ll have no worries here. The restaurant is immaculate and tables are well spaced out.

Great food, although fairly pricey. Temp taken on arrival for safety of all. Unfortunately it Lacked atmosphere as it was very quiet. Only 1 table of 4 were dining when we left at 8.30pm. Shame really but expected in these strange times. Would recommend as a special treat due to price. Staff very pleasant and attentive.

Visiting York for the first time and had read the reviews on 31 Castlegate so booked dinner there. Happy to say we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and the food delicious. The homemade bread was so tasty we asked for more. We have enjoyed York and plan a return visit when we will definitely book at this restaurant again.

My wife and I had dinner on Sunday evening and found it a wonderful experience. The food was superb; I particularly recommend the venison. Ambiance comfortable as well as elegant and service impeccable. Will certainly return next time we are in York.

Very attentive and friendly service, good Consideration given to Covid precautions, Delicious food. Thoroughly enjoyed the oriental pork starter and venison dish, just disappointed I couldn’t manage a dessert as was so full. Would definitely recommend and definitely return. Have also had the takeaway from here and that was also equally delicious.

Fabulous evening at No. 31!! The food was really lovely and the service was excellent - the main man (not sure if he was the manager or the owner) really got the measure of our group and reacted to it, so we had a brilliant time. And the food was delicious, so we will definitely be back when we return to York.....

Not been for a while. Brilliant service Brilliant food Group of 8 people (6 on one table, 2 on another) tried leaving without paying, staff dealt with it efficiently with disturbing other customers .

The service and meal were great quiet with it been a Thursday night.

Fabulous meal Lovely friendly staff Covid safe loved it thank you.

I would highly recommend this restaurant. We had a lovely meal on Saturday evening. The food and service were excellent, the set menu providing good value. In these strange times we felt very safe re the measure that had been taken to make the restaurant Covid secure.

The food was excellent and the service very good.

Lovely birthday meal, had a good evening out. Felt very safe in these Covid times.

Lovely evening, and the food as usual was excellent ( we have food delivered and the high standard is just the same)!

The food and service was excellent. The venue was quaint and provided the perfect ambiance

We found this gem of a place a number of years ago. We visit Maxis whenever we are in the area and often plan a special trip just to enjoy a Maxis evening. We have never been disappointed, the food, staff are excellent, warm and welcoming. We were hesitant to visit (from Scotland) because of the current COVID situation, on arrival hand sanitiser was readily available, temperature checks, and details taken for trace and testing purposes. The staff very visibly in their cleaning. Tables we well spaced. Nothing seem to much trouble and we had a fabulous meal in relaxing environment. Well done Maxis !
