a lovely restaurant well placed for the theatre and city centre ,couldn't fault the attentive friendly staff but didn't overdo it.The only fault we could bring attention to was the bread used for the sandwiches which wasn't ideal ,a wider choice of bread would have been appreciated.all in all a good experience.

As always wonderful experience at 31 Castlegate, staff always friendly and helpful, we had a party of 12 , including a 3 year old and a 2 years old and nothing was any trouble to them. The food was ias usual very high standard and again with a large party the food came out on time and was hot. I can not praise 31 Castlegate enough, wonderful time was had by all our party.

We had the set menu last night, 3 courses for £17.95, could not fault it. Service was excellent, Will use again, when back in York, in early March. Keep up the good work. Allan F Clarke

The meal was delicious and the wine was very nice. It was my husband's birthday so it was important that it was a good experience. The atmosphere was very warm and friendly and the staff were very attentive. We had the lamb rump which was pink and tasted lovely too full for dessert but we did have an Irish coffee (hubby) and a ruby port (Me) to finish. It's a very interesting old building also, with an alarming looking lean. You may feel the floor is a bit uneven even when you haven't had a drink. Trust me, you're not drunk.

This is one of the finest meals in the York area. The service, quality of food and fine wine selection all add to make this a fantastic restaurant.

They do good wholesome food. Not as refined as some restaurants but still as tasty. The staff are friendly and helpful. The toilets are down some steep stairs so possibly not good for the less able bodied. Enjoyable meal and would go again.

The menu doesn’t change much, which is no bad thing. But what they create is excellent. The service was attentive but not pushy. Go try it for yourself.

Great food and service. Not keen on our table, by a cupboard, well used by staff, thus disturbing us to a certain extent. Very affordable for such a good standard of cooking.

Some things were really good, and some nice ideas. Unfortunately some items not cooked well which let it down, but overall we enjoyed the meal.

Fantastic food, even from the set menu, and a really extensive wine list. The atmosphere and service were top-notch and the value was up with the best. The mushroom risotto was cooked to perfection, which can be a tricky for a lot of restaurants, and the fish cake starters were light and tangy.

A nice restaurant with nicely presented food. It was quite empty when we were there, which detracted from the atmosphere somewhat. Although we had the 3 course set menu, I personally could have eaten more than was offered. Just no wow factor for me at 31 Castlegate.

A fine restaurant in central York. Visited early in the evening in a group of 4 and had the Fixed Price Menu. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The meal was good with the sweets being considered very good. Everything we ordered was good and tasty. Our only very slight negative was the fairly restricted drinks menu - fruit ciders and craft beers were both absent. Pricing was commensurate with the food and the ambience. Recommended.

This is a lovely little overlooked gem that we found, whilst staying in york for our anniversay, the whole expierience was faultless, the staff was warm and welcoming, the food was reasonably priced for what we had my husband and i had the venison main wich was cooked perfectly. We highly recomend this place.

This is a lovely restaurant with friendly, helpful staff. The food is excellent and beautifully presented. The menu included Venison scotch egg as a starter, which we loved. It was great to find different dishes.

Strange place - looks as if it should be very good but disappointing. Awful loud eighties music, brick effect wallpaper, cafe like tables and old worn carpet. Small kitchen with washing up area in the middle of the restaurant. Weird, chirpy but service that lacked knowledge. Food was pretentious and overly complicated but didn't use great ingredients and was hugely disappointing. Saving grace was the Argentinian Merlot which was half decent at a good price (for a restaurant).

Good food, portions could have been a bit larger. Wine was excellent as was the service, nothing was too much trouble for our waiter even though one of our party kept changing their order
