walked by this restaurant, every now an again when shopping in york , and it looks like a lively bar, that serves food
deided to try it out as we have eaten at nearly every restaurant in york! i have to say i was very worried on walking in as it was so quiet, especially as one of the waitresses kinda ushered us in. restaurant is on the 1st floor, stairs and restaurant area looked clean. (did not use toilets) restaurant area has a nice cosy feel to it
anyway thats, that boring info bit over with, well the meal came to just over £60.00 but we did have a starter of olives, 2 ribeye steaks (we ordered 8oz, but i think the steaks we got where bigger) steaks came with a selection of potatoes, mash chipped etc, an extra side order of coleslaw and 2 bottles of the house white
wine was very drinkable hence 2nd bottle, but at £12.50 i think its a dam good price per bottle of wine, in a york restaurant! as most places charge around £15 per bottle of house wine
after the last time we went out an had shoe leather on a plate at another restaurant, i was wary of asking for the steak, but the menu looked so tempting an i did not think the price of the steaks were that bad? with the seasoning rubs or sauces for an extra small charge
an was i happy we ordered the steak! i could not fault anything on the plate! the meat was juicy an so tender, not only that, it tasted of beef. i know thats a silly thing to put, but i do find when i order steaks they can be well cooked, tender etc but the meat is bland tasting?
this was far from being bland and it was cooked to perfection! all i ask when i order steak, the chef cooks better then me, an he did! and steak is always the easiest thing to get wrong, if the meats not right, over or under cooked etc i'd have thrown a small hissy fit!
to me the whole point of eating out is to let someone else cook for me, and as i am paying, they should cook better then me!
so its a shame its such a quiet restaurant, as the quality of the food, and service is fantastic! this place needs to be tried out more! so if you read this review an fancy a meal out, give this place a try. don't be put off by the stairs or how quiet it looks on a night, at lunch times when i've walked by they looked pretty busy, as they had outside seating. they have a nice varied menu with sizzling fajitas, swordfish steaks, daily specials etc and i will most definately be back to try the other items on the menu! read more
