Reviews in York

What a wonderful restaurant. My husband and I dined there on Friday 18 September 2009. We had just got married that day and the staff made us feel incredibly special. The food was fantastic and the singer sang a romantic song for us. We will most definitely be recommending the restaurant to our friends.

We went in on a Wednesday night and were seated almost straight away. The service was fantastic and the young, brown haired woman who served us was bubbly, chatty and genuinely interested in our night out. There was a mistake in the way my main meal was cooked but i know it's not a common thing as we go there often enough. The mistake was rectified quickly and the kitchen staff worked efficiently, while our waitress apologised and offered us a discount. The food is great value for money and we all know that there are plenty of offers designed to draw in the recession hit many but the atmosphere and service sets this restaurant apart from the rest. Recommended!!

FANTASTIC RESTAURANT AND HOTEL STAYED TWICE WOULD STAY AGAIN !

Possibly the worst Turkish 'type' food I've ever had. My wife had Iskende: terrible tomato sauce and waiters that are apparently deaf. Even the bread was crap. Nul points

Visited this excellent steakhouse twice in a week. Once with my better half when we had the grilled Argentine sausage (very tasty) followed by a medium rare fillet steak that was so tender I could have cut it with a spoon! Combined with two bottles of Malbec and friendly efficient service, I vowed to return. Fortunately I got the chance to visit again with my daughter and this time opted for the mixed grill which was very good. My daughter raved about the chicken dish she had chosen. Another good bottle of wine and a bill for two of under £50. Happy days!

Once seen, the food tasted, never to be forgotten, When ever I am near the location of the Cod & Lobster I just gravitate towards it's welcoming doors...the Boullibasse is to die for and my friends face was a treat to behold when she first encountered the ''Club Sandwich.!!the Jazz nights are great...the food superb...Well done to all the Chefs, restaurant staff and management team you make dinning out a pleasure...

I would not recommend this restaurant. I have given it three goes now, as it is a convenient meeting place with friends. The service is terrible, you are rushed in and rushed out, which is odd considering the times that we have visited there were only a couple of other tables occupied. The food arrives quickly.. not sure whether this is good or not.. but probably the latter as its low quality, poor tasting food, which you'll find is very much over priced. I had a couple of glasses of wine, and then a glass of tap water.. which 4 of us all thought tasted like it was tinged with kitchen cleaner detergent! If you are looking for a really great Thai restaurant and don't mind travelling. The best Thai that I have found in Yorkshire has to be in the small market town of Beverely, called Muang-Thai. Its genuine fresh Thai food at its best, its very small with only 60 covers or so to enable the chef to literally cook your meal to order. Its mouthwatering. I was sadly disappointed at Sangthai, especially having read so many good reviews in the past. Skip the disappointed and give it a miss.

We also stayed in their accommodation as well as eating in the restaurant. The whole experience was fantastic, made very welcome, excellent atmosphere and the food was just gorgeous. Not that expensive either and we will certainly be heading back there. Impressive and could not fault any part of it. Even the breakfast was outstanding!!!

I visited nineteen 16th April 2009 celebrating my 40th!I wanted somewhere different and special. I got exactly that, I highly recommend Nineteen, the food was superb and the service second to none, We were made to feel very welcome and nothing was a problem i had the sought after 'table 9' which was great also!thankyou nineteen for the great meal i have never shut up about the ham, pineapple& egg starter!!!!

Oversized tasteless nan breads.I had the tandoori chicken tikka.Chicken was white all the way through and not your usual deep red colour penetrating the meat.There was just a hot tasting glaze on it.Veg curry was a runny over spiced liquid.It appears to be "uncool"to complain about this restaurant but it is all show and no taste.Extremely disappointing.

Excellent place that you must visit. We have eaten at this restaurant twice now, Jan 08 and Mar 09 on each of our last two visits to York and thoroughly enjoyed it each time. The menu is interesting, original and delicious, the food is reasonably priced and the service is second to none. The atmosphere is intimate and friendly and due to the lateness of our booking we had to eat early (6.00pm) to be able to get a table, but were compensated with a choice of a complimentary bottle of red or white wine. Given the place is nearly 3 hours away from our home address we can not visit as often as we would like, otherwise I would be there every week, but I have to say it is one of the reasons we choose to visit York when we can get away.

Me and my boyfriend go every month now because we know we can have a nice night out with good service and delicious food and we cant bring ourselves to try anything else. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

the ujala tandoori in whitley bay in ordered a meal and it arrived within 30 mins so i thought the service was fantastic and the food was fabulous mouth watering i cant fault it it was fantastic all around.

Went to saffron at york on valentines day booked a table got there the staff were extremely friendly, very polite and always there to help, had poppadoms while ordering our food, food came quickly no waiting about. food was lovely best Indian me and my boyfriend have ever had. Great restaurant. great pricing would be honored to return there again. great night out, would recommend anyone who loves real Indian food to go to saffron. big thanks to all staff at saffron for making it a pleasurable night.

After reading an article about this place I thought I'd swing by for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. And what an excellent experience it was. The patisserie was a delight. I believe the fella who makes them came from a Michelin-starred establishment and it certainly shows... they were works of art and thoroughly delicious. The chocolates, also, were uniformly excellent. A special mention, too, for the manager, Alison, who was particularly helpful and whose passion for, and knowledge of, all things tea related really shone through. She pointed us towards the Oolong, a blend I'd never tried before; it was delightful. I'm constantly baffled why people rave about Betty's in this part of the world. For me, The Black Swan Tearoom was of a much higher standard and represented far better value. I hope they go from strength to strength.

Only a month to go! I can't wait for the new Oscars to open! How will I choose between the Biltmore and Oscars when they are next door to each other! Had a peep through the new doors when the builders were working yesterday and it seemed huge. But some how, it seemed just like a bigger better brighter Oscars! Hope only the location changes so that I can continue enjoying excellent food in a relaxed setting served by superb staff!

its a very sophisticated warm and friendly environment, I thought that the food there was brilliant with the flavours pondering around my mouth. The staff there are easy to approach and friendly always there if you need them.

A really good little eatery. Had a really tasty lunch there today comprising of five of the main course dishes, served in little boats. All delicious food. The staff were friendly but a little slow. Ask to sit in the Moroccan Room upstairs
