Staff remembered my name from a previous visit, which was a nice touch. They sat me at a quiet corner table, perfect for a solo dinner. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Made for a relaxed evening.

The Hugo Spritz was spot on. The Sticky Chicken from the bar snacks menu though, that was the star. Perfectly glazed, tender, and just the right size for sharing. A solid choice for a casual drink and a bite.

Sunday lunch today was our second meal here after an excellent prix fixe dinner earlier in the week. Everything from the buffet spread to start with to the main meal and dessert was first-rate, made even more special by the fact that the expected sirloin of beef was replaced by chateaubriand! Served pink at our request it was tender and succulent. Fullmarks to the chef and to Will our genial and professional server.

Cozy little cafe, nice relaxed vibe. Had the milkshake and it was honestly incredible &ndash; thick, creamy, just spot on. A good spot for a casual bite.

Popped in for a quick bite while in Bridlington. The menu&#39;s got loads of options, which is handy. Staff were friendly and quick.

The fish and chips were spot on. Crispy batter, fresh fish. The real winner for me was the house pale ale&mdash;cut through the richness perfectly. A bit pricey for a casual meal, but the pairing made it worthwhile.

The lunch deal with fish and chips is a solid shout for a catch-up. Good portion and a drink for &pound;13.

Amazing service and such a lovely friendly waiter  , food was fast and lovely , Only quark was the restaurant was chilly bar that 9/10 for me even went back the night after

Came in without a booking and they were so welcoming. The service was spot-on throughout. A highlight was the sommelier&#39;s suggestion for a red to go with the steak&mdash;really made the dish. Staff are genuinely attentive without being overbearing.

Popped in after a walk. The pork belly was spot on - crispy skin, tender meat. Got a bit busy later, service slowed down. Decent spot if you&#39;re nearby.

Love the old-school pub vibe here, feels just right for York. The bar looks great with those barrels. Staff were really friendly too.

Came for a coffee and ended up staying for ages just watching the river. The staff were really nice about it, didn&#39;t rush me at all. That view is the real draw here.

Excellent pub, obviously loved by the locals who booked it out - so make sure you have a reservation. 6.30 seems to be when they all flock in. Our table was for 7pm so we ended up having a bit of a wait and to make an alternative choice for mains as ours was sold out. Well kept cellar - excellent beers and plenty of cocktails available. Will return when next in York

Been coming here for years, and the private room upstairs is still my favourite spot. The view never gets old.

Generous portions, but the menu could use more fresh, healthy options.

Always packed at lunch but the staff keep things moving. Got my order in and out in under 10 minutes. Friendly check-out too. Perfect for a quick bite.

The biryani portion is huge, easily for two. Paired it with a lager, worked well. The tandoori prawns starter was tasty but a bit pricey.

Love the flower-painted courtyard! It&#39;s such a nice spot to sit and relax. The inside feels spacious too, never crowded.

The chicken combo is a lot of food for the money, we had leftovers. I really appreciated how fresh the salad greens were, crisp and vibrant. The grilled chicken itself was nicely seasoned, not dry at all. A good, filling option if you&#39;re watching your budget but still want a decent meal.

A nice, clean spot for a casual lunch. The atmosphere is relaxed and it felt comfortable just sitting there for a while. The food was pretty good, though the portion was a bit on the smaller side for the price.

A lovely family-run place, the staff couldn&#39;t be nicer. Their dog is a sweetheart too. Had a nice glass of Malbec with the pasta special, a simple but solid pairing. The pasta itself was a touch under-seasoned for my taste, but the overall warmth made up for it.

The harbour view from the bar is just stunning. Perfect for a quiet evening drink. The fizz selection was decent, though I wish they had a few more by-the-glass options. A lovely, relaxed spot.

The portions here are massive. I ordered the shepherd&#39;s pie and couldn&#39;t finish half of it, ended up with a takeaway box. Good value for the amount you get.

The seekh kebabs were spot on, really well-spiced and juicy. The chicken on the bone had good flavour too, though the portion felt a bit small for the price. Still, those kebabs hit the spot.

Lovely beer garden at the back, so tranquil for a quiet pint. Felt like a proper local spot where everyone&#39;s welcome. The perfect place to unwind after a long week.

Been coming here for years, and the staff always get it right. They&#39;re attentive but never hover or interrupt your meal. It&#39;s that consistency that keeps me coming back.

Cosy spot, perfect for people-watching. The seats inside are so comfy, you can just sink in and lose track of time. It&#39;s that kind of place where you can just be.
