An excellent dining experience in a relaxed and friendly setting. We had the 7 course taster menu which was beautifully presented, flavoursome and fun. The front of house team bring a wonderfully relaxed feel to a high end dining experience.

We have eaten here a few times over the last 5 or 6 years and always enjoy the traditional country pub with style ambience. Pleasantly unpretentious, informal and relaxing but they do things properly. More good class hotel than pub grub in terms of presentation and service. Our Sunday lunch meals were very good indeed. Good range of choice including interesting "specials". The food was well cooked, well presented and the main course came with plenty of vegetables. Although quite busy, the dining area was not noisy and the well trained staff were very pleasant and unhurried. A very good experience overall. More

We booked for an 80th birthday dinner and we were not disappointed. We were very well looked after (especially the birthday girl who was given complementary fizz) and the food was wonderful. I liked the small but varied menu which suited all tastes. The food was beautifully cooked and served. The view is amazing and the prices very reasonable. I would certainly go there again when I am visiting York. More

Warm,cosy and friendly. The atmosphere of an old, dark welcoming pub, with excellent quality food and wine. The honey glazed chipolatas were the perfect nibble to enjoy with a glass of wine.

My husband and I were visiting York for his birthday and ate at Oxo’s. The service was excellent, with Ruben being very attentive, whilst still giving us space. The food was outstanding and my husband was presented with a birthday cake at the end of our meal. As we were too full after our delicious meal, Ruben gave us the cake, wrapped in a tin foil swan. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting York, and any futures visits to York, will include dinner at Oxo’s. More

OpenTable Diner -
We had a really enjoyable evening on Saturday night. I’ve been coming to the Drovers for years, and this meal really impressed us. The service was excellent - polite, helpful, prompt. The food - mugs of mulled wine, hummus starter, baked Camembert starter, sausage and mash, sea bass - was delicious and beautifully presented. The room was comfortable and well-lit, with a real fire. No wonder it was so busy. But despite a full house, we couldn’t have asked for better service. Thanks to everyone. More

We arrived over 15 minutes late due to an accident on the A64, and were greeted warmly with no criticism. We were well looked after, but not over zealously. The food was very tasty and nicely presented. We had most pleasant and relaxed evening. More

OpenTable Diner -
More than met my expectations. A n ideal lunch for two friends celebrating birthdays. Worth the trip to York. I would have welcomed a more healthy choice at lunch time, hence the 4 not 5 stars. The steak I had was cooked perfectly for me and the dessert was irresistible. The staff were friendly, helpful, efficient and not intrusive. Will definitely be returning in the future. More

OpenTable Diner -
Came here as we had been to the Christmas markets and sampled lots of street food. We didn’t fancy a sit down heavy meal and was looking for a bite to eat in more casual surroundings. The menu was appetising, we ended up going for a sharing platter which was tasty, cocktails were delicious and on a BOGOF deal. The bar area gets very busy so would advise booking a table if you wanted to eat away from all the hustle and bustle. Our waitress was extremely friendly, food was hot and we were served promptly. Would come here again. More

Arrived very close to last orders for food but they were very accommodating for us. The drink and food were delicious, nice menu and reasonably priced (although bottles of wine were very pricey £35) but was happy to pay it as it was a special occasion. The staff were all great and attentive without being overbearing and I liked the decor and warmth of the place. Highly recommended, we would return. More

OpenTable Diner -
We enjoy eating at The Three Cups as a family. However on this occasion two of our group chose the chicken with pork option. The chicken and pork were tough and pork left by both people leaving little to eat and the chicken was hard to cut through. We were disappointed as we were treating the family to a birthday celebration. Will definitely come again as one grandson plays football for Stamford Bridge and the Three Cups is nearby the football ground. More

29 States offers a more authentic Indian Dining Exoerience than can be found in most Indian Restaurants. Dishes are individually prepared from a relatively small menu. On each occasion we have been, the Chef has made a personal tour of the tables, a sign that he enjoys his work. The ambient temperature of the Restaurant on this last visit was on the cool side. More
OpenTable Diner -
A change from the normal "Sunday Dinner!" Visited here, warmly welcomed! Our server was enthusiastic and involved us in all sorts of conversations. He also recommended certain food and drink items. Food tasty but rather small portions, disappointed that each item you required had a cost, dishes would have been more nicely presented if they would have had complimentary accompaniments eg side salad/veg to give dishes a colour, a finish and a more appetising look. Lovely ambience, we didn,t get too much noise interference coming from a BIG noisy party that was held upstairs!! Good of the restaurant to seat them away from normal dining! Would visit again! More
OpenTable Diner -
Offering big flavours and massive choice, the Frankie & Benny's menu is filled with New York and Italian classics. Renowned as a place for families looking for a fun, comforting dining experience, the menu spans from a juicy stateside chicken burger, to classic pasta with succulent Italian meatballs. There is plenty of choice for vegetarian diners and those looking for lighter, healthier dishes, along with an impressive gluten-free menu. From the bar, enjoy a chilled beer, or a piled-high 'freakshake' for an indulgent treat.More
It’s rather quiet and very limited menu. It’s was all received well by the three of us but nothing to give the wow factor. Overall it’s decent but not fantastic More

When we arrived, the Principal didn’t have our booking down and looked very concerned, so it wasn’t a very nice welcome. I was told this may be because it was an Opentable booking so be careful of that. We were seated but were put on one of the worst tables, which we felt was due to the booking error, not our fault. We had a lovely glass of champagne and service was very good throughout the food. The sandwiches were dry but the rest was lovely. When we left, we had to get up to pay the bill as all the staff had disappeared. Not the best food and service but was a nice experience More

Welcome to Adams Bistro, we look forward to serving you.More
A lovely evening with fantastic service. The chef cooks the tasting menu to order so best to avoid nights where they have other offers on (such as Wednesday steak night). The flavours were great. Pork was possibly a touch over cooked but the rest of the meal and flavours made up for it - it certainly didn’t detract. The dessert tray is insane - you won’t walk away hungry! More
OpenTable Diner -
Lots of smiles and patience from all staff who could not do enough to welcome you & help even tho' busy. Coped brilliantly with 7 & 9 yr old grandkids who were very specific & over fiddly about their individual ice cream sundae dessert orders. Experience tells me this is where to take any family where they will be happy - guaranteed. Such good value for money for me , an OAP. More
