Reviews in York

We have been regularly visiting the Go-Down for a number of years. The food and service has been consistently good throughout that time beginning with its welcoming loaf of warm bread . Portions (unless you opt for the early bird menu are daunting. Even going for the early bird it is a struggle to accommodate all three courses. It would be hard to find better quality and value for money.

I loved everything about this restaurant. The food was excellent and we also sampled the Turkish wine which we quite enjoyed. We had the mezze and thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate and the cost of the whole meal including drinks was extremely reasonable. Will definitely go again.

Went to Ate O'Clock last night on the strength of the reviews on this site, and are very glad we did. 'Small, but perfectly formed' probably sums the place up; food was spot-on - generous portions and cooked beautifully; not cheap, but fairly-priced. Staff very friendly, offering chef's tasters between courses. Had to wait a little while when we first arrived due to a large group in just before us, but didn't spoil the meal. Chef visited all the tables at the end of the evening to check if everyone was happy, which was a nice touch you don't see very often. To top it all there was a great musician there all night. A really amiable chap with an acoustic guitar and encyclopedic repertoire of great music. It really gave the place a great ambiance

We celebrated my husband's birthday here, last weekend, it was such a special evening. Kenny, Jane and their team did a fantastic job. The atmosphere was relaxed, friendly and the service superb. The food could not be faulted, generous portions, all cooked to perfection and reasonably priced for the quality. What ever the occasion, if you are in York, I'd recommend you eat here, you will not be disappointed!

Wonderful to find a top class restaurant that blends in with the history of York. 1st class food, 1st class service set in 1st class surroundings. Nice to see a chef that actually likes to meet the diners and not a sound of microwaves pinging in the background. If you are going to York a visit to Ate Oclock is a must.

The best Indian in York, and at a really good price. Try not to go at peak times, because the clientele can be rowdy. Well worth a visit!!

Just moved to york, and we are gradually trying to find the best restaurants. Bobo's stands out! I was expecting an overpriced and overated meal, however when we received our food I was surprised by the sheer size of the dishes, huge. And the quality was great. Twinned with a cocktail, one of the best places to eat in York.

Very good service in a classic York Indian restaurant near to the Kings Arms pub. A good selection of side dishes and main courses mean that there is something for everyone that loves Indian food. The bill at the end of the meal is also extremely reasonable. We go from my workplace at least once a month...heartily recommended!

Toto's is what Italian restaurants should be like. OK the chains do a good, slick job and their staff are trained well, but there is such a warm, family welcome when you go to Toto's that the difference is immediately evident. No amount of training can achieve that. The food at Toto's is really excellent and the service is flexible and obliging. They were quite happy to bring a bottle of (excellent) wine and some olives and bread for us to nibble whilst we took our time browsing the menu and the specials board. The decor is a warm, traditional 'bistro' style - a welcome change from the wood and brushed stainless steel look that prevails today. It was noticeable that among the many ornaments and items of interest around, we could see not a single speck of dust and the windows were sparkling. A good start! Judi eventually chose the sirloin with a Gorgonzola sauce whilst I had the pork fillet with Amoretto - delicious - as were the puddings! In fact so delicious that we cancelled a booking elsewhere for the following evening and managed to get the same table at Toto's instead! The following day, I tried the sirloin with Gorgonzola whilst Judi opted for a seafood pasta dish that she declared to be superb! I can certainly vouch for the steak! The service was unintrusive yet friendly and we felt that they were delighted to see us and would look forward to our return on our next visit to York - a happy illusion that made us determined to oblige one day! I think you can take it that we highly recommend Toto's Italian restaurant!

Superb Food set in an informal cosy atmosphere. The owners are younger than you would expect but they certainly know what they are doing! Well worth a drive.

We have been to MANY Indian Restaurants but this, I can very happily say is the best by far. It was very busy when we went but we were still astounded by the level of service we had received. We were wooed by the massive Nan breads which arrive on a hook and the food we ate was outstanding. We came across this place by chance as we were in york for our anniversary and after travelling from Cardiff this was the closest and best looking place to our hotel - lucky us !!

Beautiful food, some of the best Thai I have eaten. It was particularly pleasing to see a wide range of vegetarian on offer, as all too often restaurants are so lazy in this regard. The only (minor) criticism is that we felt the tables were too close together, but that did not spoil a lovely evening with great food and wine list.

We had a great meal for our wedding anniversary, which made it very special. We both had steak. It was the best I've had!!!!!The atmosphere was buzzing and Kenny was great fun. The other staff were friendly. A lovely restaurant and reasonably priced for food of such a high standard!!

Hated this place - was greeted by surly staff who told us to wait while they figgled with computer- restaurant was empty,but seated under air conditioner, menu slapped down on table and left without offer of drinks. Decided to leave without ordering. The bar was full of teenage girls tanking up for what looked like a big night out. Don't go there if you want a quiet evening, there are better restaurants just up the road D.Taylor

The restaurant is actually located in Selby, not York. So there is a mis-print here. They have a new canopy put up on there entrance, it looks very welcoming. We have been many times and the food has always been very good. I really recommend this place.

My friend and I had dinner middle of last week. Nicely decorated, enough people even mid-week to generate some atmosphere and lovely food. The massaman curry I had was divine, as was the coconut rice. My friend's BBQ chicken was not quite what we expected, being a more delicate flavour, but quite yummy all the same. The portion of noodles was enough for two or three healthy appetites. Great venue, food and service. Staff were pleasant, friendly and happy to help with any questions about the food, too. A very pleasant dining experience.

I visited for the first time, 4 weeks ago with a group of eight. We had a warm welcome, and the table was of a comfortable size. The food was good but pricey the service was rigid all nice girls but reading from a script, nothing natural, struggled to smile. As a party we enjoyed ourselves and went home with a smile.

My husband and I have been going to Maxis in York since it opened and prior to that, since 1990 in Leeds. We go at least once a month and have never had a bad meal. In fact, the food is consistently excellent. Truly delicious cantonese cuisine, with a separate cantonese menu for experts. The service is very good, the food coming quite quickly after being ordered. A must for those who love chinese and cantonese food.
