Sunday lunch was super tasty. Gorgeous gravy, veg was cooked perfectly, parsnips, carrots, 2 types of kale and an enormous Yorkshire pudding. Potatoes were described as cooked in duck fat but were a little disappointing as the outers were tough and not the crispiness anticipated with duck fat ( maybe reheated?) But still tasted good.
Lamb loin was tender and seasoned beautifully and the beef my husband tells me was excellent.
Everything about this restaurant shouts quality. The location provides an idea setting at the side of the river, an old historic building given a modern and elegant transformation that delivers exceptional plates of food.
We were there for breakfast and were blown away by the quality of ingredients, attention to detail “warm toast” and quality of service.
I would highly recommend breakfast here and can’t wait to return one day to try out the evening menu.

My partner and I went during restaurant week, so this is based on their special menu for that period. It was overall pretty good, but nothing special, and okay for the price. It really suffers from York having some very stiff competition.
I had the black pudding bon bons and pork meatballs, whilst my partner had the cod cheeks, potato pave and banoffee cheesecake.
The black pudding and meatballs were both very tasty, but extremely dry and lacked sufficient sauce to compensate - the meatball sauce in particular was overpowering but surprisingly sticky rather than compensating. The cod and potato were both good, but the potato needed a bit more to be a main course. The cod was probably the next part, being really well cooked and not needing the separate curry sauce provided due to being delicious. The cheesecake was also good, with a good balance of flavours.
The wines we had were nice, although I don't remember them specifically beyond being a fruity Malbec and a Rueda and whilst not shown on the menu they do 125ml glasses.
Great place, one of the best restaurants in York. Amazing oxtail cheek, definitely recommend it.
The service was excellent and everyone made sure we made the most of the experience.
Great location too as we had a nice view on the river and the park nearby.
Amazing banoffee choux, best part of the meal!
We had a lovely Sunday roast at The Star Inn The City. The staff were very polite and the restaurant is beautiful. The choices of roasts are perfect and the service was impeccable.
The place is lovely, and it had a great ambience. Unfortunately, the desert really let the meal down for me. But i would definitely be back as overall i loved it.
I spent a pleasant evening in this place. The level and professional treatment of the waiters is noticeable. The plating was beautiful, although the truffle macaroni was tasteless. But overall, great and the dessert...out of this world.
Went for a second time with work, and the date dessert was unbelievable. In general, classy place with attentive and professional service.
Food was niceish but expected better given the “brand” and price. We had Sunday lunch : good Yorkshires and veg, but pretty bland meat and stale-tasting roast potatoes. Beef looked like it might be better than the pork.
Overall, this place is resting on its name and needs to up its game.
Amazing meal with delicious cocktails and good service. I understand why this restaurant was noticed by the Michelin guide
Can’t speak highly enough of this dining experience. From beginning to end it was really fantastic. Ordered the smoke old fashioned that was beautiful and complex and smoky. For my started i had the scallops that were plump with garnishes that really brought out the flavors. For my main, I had the maple bacon pork that was really moist and tender.
I’ll definitely have to come back and try everything else on the menu!
Great place for food and drinks with a great atmosphere! We can't wait to return in the summer. Great selection of wines and other drinks too. I had the ox cheek which tasted amazing
Finally a sunny day to enjoy a drink on the River. Sat on the patio had a glass of wine and mackerel, mack had an odd jelly on the top assuming it is a preserved preparation. Nice server, view. Inside seating classic restaurant vibe.
Super tasty food. Cooked to perfection. Presented beautifully. Team were knowledgeable and at attentive without feeling like they were over your shoulder. We were served Justyna who I couldn’t fault. She really took care of us.
Sunday lunch on the river is simply outstanding. The views or the river are exceptional and so is the service of the wait staff. A truly memorable and relaxing lunch experience. Best Yorkshire pudding I have had to date.
A very special place to experience.
The food is amazing and the suggested wines compliment the courses superbly. The staff are courteous and professional adding to the boutique dining experience.
I look forward to visiting again and being wowed by the teams innovation and ethos on creating dishes that compliment and honour local producers.
Cant speak highly enough of this place, we travel from Sheffield just to dine here. Outstanding food and incredible service. Our 3rd visit, this visit was for a very special occasion, our anniversary and we got engaged, our server Jacob was amazing, couldn't do enough for us to make it special. We'll definitely be back.
