Description: The Lime House is a delightful place to eat, meet and be merry. Excellent food & wine & a relaxed and friendly atmosphere are complemented by welcoming staff, soft candlelight & intimate jazz music. The regularly changing menu has an international flavour and all dishes are prepared freshly to order. Veggie choices too, and a short, punchy wine list. A great culinary experience.

This was my second visit to the Lime House, both times were lunch parties for a group of about 20. They catered for the group very well - we did pre-order - and were very friendly and trusting with they payments, as we all paid separately for the 2 course lunch, which was £10. I had a starter of avocado... More

My husband and I tried this place for lunch this week and very much enjoyed what we had. Light and tasty starters - crayfish for him, parma ham with pears and walnuts for me. Then for mains cod on a tasty chorizo and tomato mash, and seabass on saffron risotto - both really good. Although we planned on just the... More

I was recommended this restaurant by a friend in London and have since been to The Lime House on two occasions and enjoyed fantastic food both times. The ambience is very nice and the staff were very attentive and went out of their way to provide someone in our party with a meal catered for their special diet. I would... More

The Limehouse had a specially themed dinner to celebrate St. Georges Day on Tuesday and we had the pleasure of dining there. Adam and Catherine Fisher and their staff really excelled themselves. A gourmet four course menu paired with English wines at an "all in" price of £35.00 per head. The food as per usual was outstanding but I was... More

Easy to find in the center of York. Very good food (Duck and lamb were had). Perhaps a little expensive for what you get.

We didn't have a reservation, having decided at the last minute to go to York. We were met near the door by a very pleasant young lady who told us it wasn't a problem but warned us that a large party were expected, if we didn't mind, which we didn't. The food was excellent. We had scallops and mushroom bruschetta... More

One of the most delicious meals ever! Gravadlax salmon and crab starter exceptionally tasty; main course rack of Yorkshire lamb was cooked to perfection and the quality of the meat was superb - the other main (venison) was again fabulous quality meat and cooked superbly. Washed down with a great Malbec, very reasonably priced. Not the cheapest meal around but... More

It was our wedding anniversary meal and we thought we would go somewhere a bit special and perhaps more pricey than we would normally pay for a meal out. How disappointing was our evening here! To be fair the food was very good, well presented and tasty although expensive. However, there was only one dish on the menu that each... More
