Great food, service and ambience. Would definitely recommend.
Great server, great steak, good wine! Decent value as well
Great meal and fantastic service. Pretty good value for the quality of food and drink.
Good atmosphere and was pleased that they allowed us time after our food to finish drinks, which they don't at some other establishments that shall remain nameless.
Was a perfect family meal out, just a bit if a cold breeze but we were wrapped up. Thankyou.
Amazing service and fantastic food will definitely return again!!!
Fantastic food as always, the best in York. No room for pudding but birthday treat and candle brought out as a surprise for my partner :-)
The staff really made this special. They were so smiley and welcoming aswel as knowledgeable about the food.
The food was fabulous and can strongly recommend the lemoncello dessert cocktail.
We had a great time! Thank you! Love the new outside area, I’ve recommended to friends.
Well staffed restaurant with an experienced team who efficiently manage and deliver a seamless and quality culinary experience.
Perfect lunch, we sat outside in the new revamped courtyard it was wonderful. Forgot to use my loyalty card though 😢. We'll be back again soon I'm sure xx
Well where do I start. Fantastic is the word. We visited York in August but unfortunately we couldn't get a table, so as soon as I knew we be coming back this weekend I booked immediately!!!. Lovely atmosphere, great surroundings and comfortable seating. Staff amazing, very helpful and polite with a smile which a lot of the time you don't find these days. FOOD- I had the ham hock for starters which was spot on and my partner has popcorn mussels( who would ever think of deep frying mussels in batter???) they were outstanding with the bloody mary dip. Mains I had the rib eye steak with chunky chips, the flavour was mouth watering, partner had the burger which again was good. Rose wine which was recommended by our waitress was very nice. So to cap, thank you for a truly lovely evening and we will be back on our next visit...
Great food and service. Best burger ever! Steak was excellent. Really enjoy this restaurant.
We use the restaurant approximately every 6 -8 weeks the food is always good and the service especially from Anna is always first class
Superb food as of great service
Excellent food and service in a lovely atmosphere.
As a local resident I have found the food here usually excellent. This weekend I found the roast beef Sunday lunch bland and pretty poor! Overcooked veg, tasteless cabbage, strongly flavoured and unpleasant thick gravy already poured over everything on my plate. Beef was well cooked but any flavour was drowned out by the gravy. Not what I expect of this stalwart Sunday diner!
Absolutely delicious food and fabulous, attentive service! Really lovely decor inside too! I would definitely visit here again and recommend to others!!
Really enjoyed our meal. Polite staff, good food and wine. What more could you ask for?
Nice decor . Inviting place . Not warm enough . Food good but didn’t wow . Staff were polite . Overall was good not sure I would return
Just my partner a little disappointed with the fillet, but it was still nice. The waiter was true my outstanding
Gorgeous food, fantastic service. Not as much choice this time for my husband but we all enjoyed it
Great food, great service. Very helpful waiter
A great evening food and service was fabulous , try the rib eye amazing
Super evening, the steak was beautifully cooked and the wine paired well.
We sat outside due to covid and it was nice although quite chilly after 1.5hrs. We went expecting to order a la carte but got persuaded to have a special chateau. We'd seen it before and was really looking forward to it. When it arrived it looked a bit below par with very few extras e.g. 2no onion rings. The meat was ok but my blue cheese sauce was still cold from the fridge. For £80 we expected more (not necessarily quantity but quality).
Incredible food, waitress was very helpful with helping us decide what to have. Very good experience overall. Would definitely go again.
Throughly enjoyed our Sunday lunch, service was excellent, nothing was too much bother...friendly & very accommodating.
Mangeress was very attentive, efficient & cheerful...would definately recommend and visit again for sure 😀
we booked for sunday lunch on sunday the 6/12 as it was my partners birthday.
The food was excellent and the service was fantastic
The next time we are in York we will definitely book again 10/10
Splendid food and excellent staff as ever - the Whippet's Sunday lunch is such good value for money and always a treat.
Lovely decor and friendly service. Delicious roast and the chocolate brownie was heavenly!
Great food, great service. Would definitely recommend
Highly recommend - great food, drink and service. Will be back as soon as we can!
We visited for lunch on a Saturday. This place feels like a little silo away from the craziness of the city centre. Lovely beer and pizza. Great service. Covid measures are very good. Will be back again soon!
The food was wonderful and the staff were very attentive. But the downstairs was a little cold and uncomfortable.
Incredible overall. Best steak and burger in York without a doubt.
Had a lovely enjoyable evening, great service and fabulous food.
You want steak and wine The Whippet will do you fine.
we were in York for my belated 30th celebration. Me and my girlfriend had read the reviews on this place and thought we'd give it a go. it's very unassuming from the outside, we sat in the smaller room to the right and I must say it is one of the best dining experiences I've had for a very long time. I'm a GM of a restaurant myself, this was top notch! If anyone after lockdown of course is thinking of somewhere to have a great steak meal i would 100% recommend this place! Thank you so much for the experience!
Lovely Sunday Roast.
Limited menu but what they do they do very well - great Sunday Roast!
