Really lovely evening having drinks here last weekend! The serving team were very friendly and attentive! We had our first drinks in the ground floor area, before moving to the secret first floor bar when it opened! We ordered a few rounds of drinks plus Parmesan fries to go alongside and really enjoyed them! The food looked good, so want to return to try that!
The atmosphere of this place hits you as soon as you step foot into it. The service is incredibly polite and attentive. The menu is very varied, with lots of different plates to mix and match. Furthermore the drinks menu is vast and well thought out. There isn't specific pairing suggestions for drinks and the food, but there is so much to choose from. We didn't get anything that was below excellent. Our server Carl, (Karl? Not sure on spelling. Sorry!) Was an absolute delight, and really did look after us. Happy to have small discussions with us about the food and drinks, and an absolute delight to talk to. When we were done with our food, he then found us a spot in the upstairs cocktail bar which in itself has a great vibe. If you are fairly open minded about food and drink, and not very picky. You can't really put a foot wrong here, we had a lot of fun here and found a lot of joy in all of our plates and drinks! Thank you for a great experience! Places like this are what make our little trips to York as worthwhile as it always is!
We came on a quiet night and had a really relaxing time. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Menu included 3 vegan options, which was great considering they recommend 3 plates pp. (I could not finish all of mine.) Food was more inspired than most places. Sauces, garnishes, presentation all top notch. My plates were all fantastic. Husband enjoyed his and mine, esp the oyster mushroom skewer. Steak was requested med rare but came pink (closer to medium) but good flavor. We liked the crunch on top of the halloumi. Tomato carpaccio was a nice lighter note. Food came out in a stream, as expected with tapas. Servers a little too attentive--between steady arrival new plates and stopping by to ask if everything was to our liking it was hard to have a deep conversation. Atmosphere and meal absolutely spot on for date night. Appreciated the commitment to good local ingredients. It is expensive so be prepared.
