Located in St. Sampsons Square - a historic part of York’s city centre known for selling great meat since the 12th century - The Cut & Craft York is widely considered one of York’s best steak restaurants.

Boasting its own in-house master butcher and a signature 10oz Flat Iron steak, this elegant restaurant is stylishly decorated with historic features throughout. Open daily for lunch and dinner, with brunch and roasts on the weekends, it’s centrally located close to the famous mediaeval York Shambles and under the shadow of York Minster.

Named 'Restaurant of the Year' at the Yorkshire National Business Hero Awards in 2023 and 2024, The Cut & Craft combines contemporary steak and seafood dishes with a premium list of locally-crafted drinks.

    This was a spectacular meal. The service was first class with a really friendly professional feel. Our server Oli was fantastic, courteous at all times and had a bit of banter with us. We've heard a lot of people talk about Cut & Craft and say how nice it is so thought we'd try it ourselves on our annual festive trip to York, this was definitely one of the highlights, we WILL be returning.

    Loved the look of the place and the decor. It was my birthday and there is a section, like at The Ivy, to select a birthday celebration. Unlike the Ivy, you simply get given a cut and craft card with their logo on - it didn't even feel like a birthday card. I would have thought with that effort maybe you would get a future discount inside it or even just a tiny desert or chocolate after your meal but nope. Menu was quite limited and the set course option isn't available in December. My husband tried to order a draft beer but all of them were not available (the waiter didn't say this up front - basically every time husband chose one, he would just say 'oh we don't have that' only to have to repeat the process again. In the end my husband just asked what WAS available!) I ordered a white mulled wine which sounded lovely but I had to send back as it tasted disgusting (and I can drink most things!). My husband ordered the sea bass and it wasn't until he had eaten half of it that he found a thick black hair under it! I ordered the festive burger which I was disappointed in - a turkey steak that was tough/overcooked and the bacon was basically a thick rasher of fat which I didn't eat. The coffees we had at the end of the meal were nice. The saving grace was that they took off the drink that I returned after one sip and 50% off my husband's 'hairy' dish. Not really the special birthday meal I was looking forward to! Not sure if it is related but I am unwell with my stomach today and I didn't eat elsewhere! I rarely feel I need to write negative feedback like this but I had high hopes for Cut and Craft. Back to the Ivy next time then.

    It was just, okay. We arrived at 3pm for the Sunday Lunch Sharer. The restaurant interior is very nice and a nice ambience but the roast itself didn’t excel. Roast potatoes not crispy. Small amount of pork. Chicken a bit dry. However the beef was good albeit thin slices. Plenty of gravy. Nice vegetables and big Yorkshire Puddings. Could probably get a more satisfying roast for a smaller price somewhere else.

    When entering the restaurant didn’t feel the welcome was very good we were early at 9.10 for a 9.30 booking to be abruptly told table won’t be ready until 9.30 didn’t mind that at all but we suggested can we wait for a drink there was lots of members of staff around the desk and no one asked what drink we wanted, so we went and asked ourselves, the young girl wasn’t really friendly, looked like she didn’t want to be there, but she was nicer as she took us to our table but that was late at 9.40 Starters were very nice, I had pork partner had scallops that was really nice but very expensive for what it was, had chateaubriand had all the sauces only liked two of them, when the steak came over looked nice there was some seasoning salt on the board which I tasted with my finger - then a member of staff came over and said think u have been given someone else’s food and took it away minute later brought it back, that was the worst part of the service wouldn’t u check before carrying someone’s dinner around I also said I tasted the salt and he was willing to give that to another table really bad, also ordered home made chips but the brought fries over then 5 mins later they brought the proper ones. Drinks were nice, desserts were the worst part of the food - bread and butter pudding bland and stodgy and the baked Alaska wasn’t baked Alaska served in a cocktail glass didn’t taste that great, but then were also rushed out of there at the end security coming around saying need to leave now, it closes at 12 and it was 11.44 and I had a little bit of wine left it’s a restaurant not a pub and we were served late - and then very much rushed out after spending £319 In there overall - the experience was a little disappointing
