It’s our first visit to York and we’ve not been disappointed.
My son has food allergies and other food issues related to his Asperger’s Syndrome so eating out can be difficult.
Not only were the staff incredibly knowledgeable and helpful but the food was AMAZING.
We both had rib-eye steak and just raised our eyes at each other with the first mouthful. The best steak we’ve ever had and the rest of the food was just as good too.
Our waiter told us the menu had been revamped recently with a view to being more mindful of allergies, vegans etc. Well done. It got s huge thumbs up from us.
It was also lovely to be able to know we could eat in an adult environment!
Had dinner here on Sunday as a party of 8. They’d put us in the private dining room which was probably for the best as we were quite noisy! The food was simply fantastic. Our waiter was knowledgeable of both the food and wine and he was great fun. I think we all had steak of some kind and every plate was clean. One thing worth mentioning... no cider. If cider is your tipple make sure you have a back up!
Great little place. Service was very good and the food was first rate. Steak was a little overcooked, but when I spoke to the waiter, they comped our wine, which was very good of them..
The food really was lovely with a great menu and a good selection of wines. Great steak selection too. Just make sure you emphasise if you want it very rare. I think they overcooked mine to be 'on the safe side'...
Other than that, 5*...
Superb food, beer, atmosphere and staff - just a stone's throw away from the heaving town centre. Brilliant, and well worth a visit. :-)
Great food, friendly staff, very attentive. The best steak I've ever tasted! This was our 3rd visit and it has never disappointed I'd give 6 stars if I could!!!! We will definitely be back again hopefully soon
2nd visit and at the same table!! The service was second to none, the knowledge was top and the food was just the best! If u want a great steak, a lovely evening with the other half or a group of friends this is the place. Just the toptastic night!! Definitely would go back again and again. Thank U for a perfect night! X
Had an amazing meal here last night for my birthday! Found it by chance after meeting a couple in York who recommended it, called to book the same day without realising the high demand, lucky for us there was a cancellation for the same night! Service and food were great, Katie was a great waitress and very accommodating and knowledgeable in all things steak!
Probably the best steak we’ve had, no faults!
Bartender knew about all things gin and what to pair it with, amazing rhubarb gin and ginger ale (or 4)
Very glad that we found this for our last night in York! Highly recommended if I could give 10 stars I would!
The food was gorgeous probably one of the best steaks I've ever had and The service was fantastic would definitely would recommend it
We were recommended to come here for our anniversary dinner! We were not disappointed! The staff were very professional, the food was gorgeous!! Highly recommend!
Absolutely beautiful restaurant. The steaks are second to none, Cooked perfectly. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Their selection of gin is awesome too. Would highly recommend. Will be coming back next time I’m in York. 5 start all the way �
Absolutely brilliant, we had a super time here for a Birthday meal. We could not fault the service and the food was amazing. We would highly recommend the Fillet steak.
Went on Friday for an early dinner, had a fabulous meal - struggled with what to order as a starter as nothing appealed to us, however we just went with nibbles instead of olives and deep fried gerkins which were delicious. 2 fillets steaks with whiskey and mushroom sauce and to finish a delicious banana cake dessert. Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish
The food was great the beer excellent especially the vanilla porter. The service was attentive and quick. It was a great find straight across the road from our hotel.We will return when next we visit York
Super Steak!. We decided to try here after hearing good things about it and I also love the fact they use local Yorkshire produce.
We dropped in one lunchtime through the week, it was pretty quiet, but that didn’t detract from our experience and preferable to a packed high street chain elsewhere in the city centre.
I had the 40 day aged fillet steak (rare) and it was simply amazing, up there with the best steaks I have had anywhere in the world, the accompanying chips were ‘proper chips’ too!
Both meals were excellent, so good in fact we went again before we returned to Australia (I had the fillet steak again!)
Really great find in York. We found this place by looking at the reviews and we're glad we did as its a bit tricky to find as its off the beaten track, down by the river front. Obviously very popular with locals though, looking for a great meal out. You definitely have to book (online is easy). Staff were very welcoming and super dog friendly. Dogs are allowed in the bar area (which is steeped in character). We had the steaks as our main meal and for my desert I had the cheese platter, which even came with its own menu. We really enjoyed our meal here and would definitely return.
Fantastic Sunday lunch. The roast beef was done to perfection, soft and tender literally melted in your mouth. Accompanied by tasty gravy, good selection of vegetables and famous Yorkshire pudding . Excellent and friendly service. I recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting York.
Totally delicious Sunday roast. Beef cooked to perfection. Huge Yorkshire puddings. Starters and desserts very good also. Great service too. My only minor feedback is food could have been a little warmer but that may be as the meat was rested. But I would highly recommend
I recently had a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Whippet Inn in the beautiful city of York. It was a charming pub that felt very warm and welcoming. It’s easy to find and just off the main shopping area in the main city.
They run a 2 or 3 course set Sunday menu, which felt well priced considering the quality of the food I had. I chose the pork terrine to start, which was beautifully flavoured and really moreish. For the main I had the roast chicken, which was served with possibly the biggest Yorkshire pudding I have ever seen!
The roast was truly fantastic, and every element was very well cooked and flavoured. The chicken was beautifully moist and was the star of the show. The cauliflower cheese was also amazing.
The service was very friendly and efficient, and overall I throughly enjoyed the whole experience. If you’re looking for an amazing Sunday roast in York - make sure you give The Whippet Inn a visit!
This place was a very pleasant surprise in York. We came for the meat, and stayed for the wine and gorgeous desert. Their wine selection is very good and we ended up drinking one of their recommendations which was a surprisingly smooth Colombinan “14 hands” red. We started with some pardon peppers and pigs’ cheek, followed with a ribeye and t-bone, with the meat cooked to perfection, and in between tried the Sicilian lemon and Aperol spritz sorbets (sweet and tasty). The final surprise was the Banoffee bread & butter pudding with ice cream, which was one of the best puddings I have ever tasted, with smild flavours of peanut, banana and raisins. Highly recommend
I booked a table here as I really wanted to try their roast which had good reviews. I was disappointed to learn they stopped serving them at 1630 and my table was booked for 1730. However I quickly found a substitute and it did not disappoint! Ribeye steak with a side of duck fat potatoes and the pea, bacon and baby onion salad 👌🏻 I then followed this up with the banoffee bread and butter pudding. Sensational. Would highly recommend coming here for dinner. I hope to return soon.
Beautiful interior and ambience with attentive and knowledgeable staff. Lots of great wine options. I was recommended Shiraz by the waiter and it did not disappoint - Shiraz has now become my go-to choice when it comes to red wine.
Regarding their food menu, I think they have mastered their burger, which I believe should receive no less of recognition than their stakes. Their burger is packed full of flavour and its huge!
For a dessert, I highly recommend their sticky toffee pudding - it was the best sticky toffee I have ever had!
Thank you to the chefs and the front of house team for a great experience.
Been back, again and again, no better place!
For some reason this place is not on any list of recommendations, quietly hidden away of the beaten track. Been working and eating (!) for 3 months now in York, best meal so far
lovely glass of Shiraz....then Focaccia...
Followed by pan roast stonebass in berbere butter, creamed celeriac, charred cavolo nero, crispy mussels, and picked chili
Had to be done finished off with Black Forest Tart..chocolate, cherries, Chantilly cream with Ximinez Sherry
BIG burger - excellent. Cooked exactly as I asked. Retired dairy cows so good flavour. Crispy skinny fries were top drawer.
Maple panna cotta was a tasty little sweet treat for afters.
Very attentive and friendly staff, they have a genuineness that is too rarely found in many hospitality venues.
Good is very high quality and extremely tasty.
Definitely visiting again soon
