The platter of cured meats to start was excellent. Followed by three really good tapas dishes with very good red wine. The selection of sherries is excellent....ended with a flight of three px sherries with a goodly portion of cheeses.
Really great place, the staff were really friendly from the minute you walked through the door. The food was fantastic. Tasted amazing, perfect portion sizes and really reasonably priced. Would definitely visit this place again.
We love the food here. There is a great selection of tapas, wine and sherry. Service is prompt and the staff are friendly. The restaurant is decorated nicely and has a great ambiance, even at lunch time there was a nice 'buzz' about the place. Would highly recommend the padron chilli by the way.
Fantastic food and choice. We visited with 2 adults, an 11 year old and a 10 month old. From booking via email to finishing our choices on the lunch menu it was perfect! Lots of choice in food and drink and fantastic service! Managed to throw a glass of wine all over the table which the staff kindly replaced! Couldn't ask for more. Will definitely be returning! Thank you for a fantastic lunch experience! I can highly recommend! ☺️☺️ xx
Amazing service ... gorgeous table reserved for my partner's birthday meal and sparkling wine served as soon as we sat down, as requested. We sampled many dishes ... all lovely and rate highly with a lot of excellent tapas dishes we have had before. We were not rushed at all and enjoyed the relaxed yet attentive service. Recommend the goat's cheese and the pork belly 😍😍😍
We went for our wedding anniversary and had an absolutely fantastic night. It was very busy, but the staff were all super kind, happy and helpful and even though they warned us there may be a slightly longer wait - I found everything to be very prompt.
We were recommended to try the padron peppers whilst broswing the menu and they were delicious and something I would never have thought to try so I was grateful for the recommendation. We had fabulous sangria, and several tapas dishes all of which were full of flavour and cooked to perfection.
We thought it was very reasonably priced, and we had such a perfect evening, both saying we think it was our favourite meal ever.
Thank you :) Looking forward to visiting again already :)
The best meal and service, we have had in a while, very knowledgeable staff and great place, perfect thanks
Had a gorgeous start to my birthday with some friends. The food (that I managed to eat) was gorgeous, until my friend fainted. Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the staff who were working 6th Nov evening, who attentive and gave us space and time to sort my friend out. It was much appreciated. And for packing up all our meals to take home. Thanks! Definitely a birthday I won't be forgetting in a rush!
Easy atmosphere, great wine, and the best tapas I've had whilst not in Spain �� great experience would recommend and can't wait to return with the children.
My husband and I and our 3 young children had a gorgeous meal here on New Years Eve
The staff were friendly and helpful and the rose sangria was delicious
Well worth a trip and we will definitely be back the next time we are in York
Great choice of fabulous food, super service from friendly, helpful staff. Can not fault. Would recommend it!
Had a delicious meal (Muchos set menu) here last night for my friend's hen weekend. All the dishes were amazing and the service was great too. A laid back but lively atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!
Had a fantastic meal here yesterday. Really lovely place with modern yet authentic feel. Clear that the owners have passion and expertise in the cuisine. So pleasing to see a generous veggie and plant-based section! Only giving 4 stars because 2 of my dishes were stone cold when they got to me but they still tasted excellent.
First time here and we were really impressed. The atmosphere is great, accompanied by good music and the service provided by the staff was second to none. The food was delicious and reasonably priced and there were plenty of choices of both food and drink. Be back soon!
A wonderful tapas restaurant, with lots of vegan options. The waiter was very knowledgable about my requirements and what was on the menu. The food was lovely! So much so I never got many pictures!
Went here with my daughter and really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and the staff were super friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend for delicious tapas and sangria.
Always lovely food. Good service. Restaurant was cold on arrival and took about an hour to heat up (Saturday afternoon).
Only negative - the mushrooms were not advised there was I think smoked pimento in the dish, was over powering in taste and not enjoyable - I did mention when the bill was presented.
We had a great time at Ambiente for an evening meal. They managed to squeeze us in last minute (thank you guy on the front desk!) and the food was fantastic. They were busy but we were not waiting long for food.
We had patatas bravas, lamb patties, mussels, meatballs, feta, dates wrapped in bacon and tortilla. They were all lovely but the patatas bravas were incredible. We also had a tasty sangria and mango vermut.
Thanks for having us!
Fantastic food. Lovely service. We will be back. Try the desert wine flights. Delicious.
Decided to call in for a drink and a snack, while passing by.
Great decision. We chose 3 tapas, I had a delicious house red and my husband had a lemon beer. We had Halloumi, feta salad and croquettes. All were beautifully presented and the flavours were wonderful. We will definitely be back while in York. Wish they had one of these restaurants in our home town.
Visited October 2023: this is one of the rare wheelchair accessible places in York so met with a friend for lunch. The staff were pleasant and our waitress helped us choose some dishes and gave her opinions on which to choose and the food was bought out fairly quickly. 3 diners and we each had 3 dishes and the bill came to almost £100 so you’re looking at £11 a dish which for me seems quite high but I’ve never had tapas before so maybe this is expected?
They put a service charge on the bill which I dislike because staff are paid proper wages, this isn’t America. If people want to leave some cash afterwards that’s fine but adding service charges I feel is very tacky. Increase your already high prices if you’re not getting enough. I feel it leaves a bad taste after dining out but that’s my opinion.
Wheelchair accessible and toilets are located downstairs with a good accessible bathroom.
Would highly recommend this place for so many reasons. Firstly we had failed to book anywhere on a Friday night and although they were extremely busy they managed to accommodate us. They put us in a private booth which really was lovely.
The service was second to none and the food was amazing. Will certainly be revisiting on our next trip to York.
