Service by staff was excellent. They were super busy, but they made sure everyone was seen to and managed to get the queue down quickly. Even though they were busy, they were all really friendly!
The food was fantastic. Really good portions and so much to choose from! š
We got there to find a long queue waiting to be seated š. We were waiting in the queue discussing whether to go and find another place to eat as we were told the approximate waiting time was 1/2 hour. The kind lady in front of us said it's worth the wait, so we stayed. Boy was she right, the food is amazingšš!
Iāve driven or walked past Robinsonās most days over the last 3 years and seen the queues, day in day out (except Wednesday as they are closed)
Can somewhere be this good to make people want to wait, rain or shine?
I was so intrigued that I was willing to queue, although I did tell my wife that if we arrived and there was a queue, weād just go somewhere else. Fortunately no queue however we still queued alone as the restaurant was full. Stupid me.
As with most trendy (and not so) places in York, staff are aloof. The lady that came out to give us our menus, presumably to speed things up, didnāt mention how long we could possibly be waiting for a table. After 15 minutes, my wife had to ask the question.
Iāll cut to the chase, we had all of 2 bacon rolls (hard to get wrong) Steak and eggs (they got this wrong - gristly steak and have my doubts wether it was actually sirloin, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs (very good) and a side of hash browns (ball shaped and very good) Coffee was outstanding so the only thing that wasnāt great was the steak.
Service was just okay, ambiance was good and had a nice vibe. Iād go again but just wouldnāt order the steak.
