The bar staff were so friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed chatting with them, they made us feel very well looked after.

Been coming here for years. The big windows are a big part of why I keep coming back. Just feels bright and relaxed every time, even on a grey day. A solid spot.

The chicken and paneer wrap was really good, a nice combo. Portions are decent for what you pay. Staff were helpful when I asked about the sauce.

The Veg Thali was a lovely way to sample everything. Such a generous portion though, almost too much for me! A nice, comforting spread.

The basement private room was ideal for our group of 20. Staff were attentive and the space felt secluded without being cramped. It was a nice, relaxed setup for the evening.

Lovely spot for a quiet coffee. The sleepy jazz music is a nice touch, really adds to the cosy vibe. Perfect for just sitting and watching the street for a while. My latte was good, though it did cool down a bit quickly.

Had our wedding reception here. The buffet was a real hit with our guests, everyone kept mentioning how much they enjoyed it. Staff were lovely throughout.

Came with a group to try their tapas. The patatas bravas were spot on - crispy outside, fluffy inside. The gambas al ajillo had a nice garlic kick. Good for sharing, plates came out at a decent pace. Service was attentive without hovering.

First time at a Taco Bell and it was a nice surprise. The staff were really helpful when I mentioned a food allergy, which made ordering so much easier. The tacos were tasty and didn&#39;t cost a fortune.

The lamb platter was huge, easily fed two. The meat was good quality and everything tasted fresh, especially the tzatziki.

Popped in for a late breakfast. The pancakes were warm and fresh, came with a huge pile of bacon and loads of syrup. Just what I needed. Staff were nice too.

The staff are so nice and quick to clear plates. Makes the whole meal feel relaxed.

The oat latte is a standout. They serve it with a little heart-shaped shortbread, which is a nice touch. The coffee itself is excellent, really well-balanced. It paired nicely with the quiet morning vibe. A solid spot for a proper coffee.

My gluten-free diet means I rarely get good cake. Their lemon and rose meringue was a proper treat. The whole menu can be made GF, which is a relief. My dog enjoyed his sausage, too.

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.

Five cheese and wine pairing. They explained each one, which was nice. Made for a good, relaxed evening. Service was a bit slow between courses, but the food itself was spot on. Solid choice if you&#39;re not in a rush.

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.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The fish and chips from the specials board were spot on, really fresh and crispy. The tartare sauce was a nice touch. Just what I needed.

Hugo Spritz was a great choice for a quick bite. Staff suggested it, spot on. Refreshing, hit the spot. Good wine list too. Quick service, in and out.

Grabbed a quick lunch here. The vegan sausage sourdough toastie was spot on. Came with a decent pile of crisps and salad too. Good portion for the price. Got me in and out fast, which is exactly what I needed.

Staff were really helpful with our big group and dietary needs, even on a busy Saturday.

The staff here are so lovely and really make you feel looked after. They even swapped out the fillings in my afternoon tea sandwiches without any fuss!

The avocado and feta sourdough was decent, but the avocado portion was a bit small. I&#39;ll probably try the desserts next time, they looked good.
