The staff where friendly and attentive and the food was very good we loved the flat breads with either chicken or the lamb. There is a roof terrace which when the sun was shining was a great place to eat. More

Kennedys has always been one of my favourite places to go in York. Ive always found it one step ahead of the competition. Well not this evening. The level of service I've just had at the bar was appalling. The barman misunderstood my order of a double g&t and made 2 g&ts. When i said I only wanted 1 he... More

We were immediately given a choice of tables in this well-decorated restaurant/bar. The music was good with easy to listen to songs by Belle and Sebastian and similar artists. We asked for tap water and got a nice jug with ice and lemon. I ordered the Gnocchi and my Mum ordered the Scampi and Chips. She said it was best... More

Why queue for the famous tearooms such as Betty's when you can find a central haven of tranquility with a good bar with arty decor and a respectful clientel, excellent coffee and snacks (or a fuller menu) and good and friendly service? Not a rip-off either. Highly recommended for a caffine intake or something stronger in the day or early... More

Went here for lunch with my husband and 7 year old son. We had 3 completely empty plates at the end, which shows the quality of the food was good. The staff were also very friendly and efficient. More

I visited this restaurant with my husband on Monday teatime. I had made a reservation and on arrival we were advised that we could take our pick of tables, which was well received. The food arrived promptly, was beautifully presented, very tasty and we couldn't fault it at all and it was good value. What made the occasion very special... More

Walked for miles around York and, tired and hungry, looked for somewhere I'd feel comfortable to sit and have lunch alone with a book. Thre were lots of places to eat but I passed them all (sometimes twice) and then found this - menu nice and varied so could choose something light, inside there were lots of different sorts of...

We went for coffee and so liked the look of the "new summer" menu ate later that day. Good choice for veggies which I am and a nice variety of meals on offer. The puds were to dy for - chocolate and cranberry bread and butter pudding was the best of the puds. The staff were so friendly and really... More
