31 Castlegate Restaurant

Fantastic meal every time we visit. Warm welcome from the staff and lovely menus - we were in early so had choice from the set menu - everything is delicious and fab new desserts on today’s menu.

Amazing food. Great 3 course set evening menu. We will be be back. Good atmosphere and nice surroundings. Highly recommended. This wasn't our first visit. We go regularly.

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.

The food was of a high standard and the presentation was Impressive once again. The atmosphere at the restaurant was pleasant and the staff were friendly.

This was my first visit to 31 Castlegate Restaurant. I cannot commend it high enough. The menu, service and quality of the food was absolutely first class. I will most certainly return.

Food good . Service ok would I go again probaly But didn't have the wow factor but was still an enjoyable night with good company

Excellent value for money in a prime location by Clifford's Tower. Central for all attractions with a good choice of menu. Wine list reasonably priced.

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.

Nice place good staff but wife's food not very warm. Enjoyed what we had but I am sure there are better places would not go back.

A really enjoyable meal. Good food and excellent service by very polite and friendly staff. We will definitely be going back to eat there again.

Good meal, service excellent, however meal ( Ribeye Steak) could have been a lot hotter, veg for one of us was a good 5 minutes after rest of meal was delivered, nice welcome and staff attentive, it was a Birthday evening and a free dessert was offered.

We dined here before attending the theatre. Chose the set menu, what good value for money! We had three courses each, all lovely and tasty and presented beautifully. Would certainly recommend .

Lovely atmosphere with very friendly staff and exceptional food. My hake was cooked to perfection as was my partner's pork tenderloin. Definitely to be experienced.

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.

Such cheery and welcoming staff complimenting so well the fine food - wow the venison was great. Wine list not over priced - a great end of our first day in York.

Excellent restaurant for couples and larger groups. Food is first class with a very varied menu. Set meme and alacart available. Staff very attentive. Atmosphere just lovely. Couldn't have been happier with our visit.

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).

This was my 3rd visit to York and also my 3rd visit here to have dinner. Food was as lovely as always with great service. If you are looking for somewhere to have dinner...give this restaurant a try...you won't be disappointed.

Food was good but not quite great. Service was excellent throughout, waitress was attentive. Slightly overpriced for what we had. Would be happy to go back and try something different

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

Nice welcome followed by excellent food and efficient, friendly service. There were 7 in our party and we would certainly all go again to 31 Castlegate.

This is a quirky restaurant offering some great food and the service staff weee very friendly. They were very busy when we went for dinner and seemed surprised and. It prepared for this. Service was slow as a result and that is the only thing preventing me from rating it higher.

Lovely place. Great food and nice service one of our favourite place to eat in York. Will be back next time we return. A plus

A nice bright and airy restaurant although a little difficult to find!Peacefull haven tucked away from main hustle and bustle.Lovely food with pleasant staff,worth a visit.

Lovely querky restaurant due to the building. Great food and portion sizes are fine for the smaller eater. Would of liked more bread in the bread basket or a choice of bread.

Very nice restaurant with very pleasant surroundings. Good food, great service and good value for money. We will definitely go back. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Mother's Day treat, booked on 15 Dec 2126' very nice food very nice staff not expensive, my wife loved it, well call again next time we are in York

My wife & I opted for the set menu from which the food was excellent & reasonably priced along with the wine. The waiting staff were warm & friendly.

It's a really good restaurant and we will definitely go there again in the future. Food and service overall were excellent. Some more detailed feedback... The menu had a nice selection of dishes. Starters and mains were really excellent. Desserts not quite as good, for example in the Dark chocolate and cherry mille feuille, the mille feuille itself was a bit hard and "cardboardy", and it could have done with a bit more cherry flavour, but still excellently presented and generally tasty. One other small point is that the toilets were OK and clean, but decor and fittings not up to the standard of the rest of the restaurant.

I took my mum here for early Mother's Day lunch. Fantastic food and service love this place. i will be back again soon I hope.

The restaurant staff were polite and attentive. The food was served promptly and was of excellent quality, a real little gem... I'd recommend the sticky toffee pudding - one of the best I've tried. This was a great find, I'll be sure to visit again next time I'm in York.

Food very nice but it felt like the interior of an old people's home. Needs a interior revamp. Wouldn't particularly go back because of that.

The food here is wonderful and cooked as you wait, which can take a little while, but it is worth it. The only reason I marked it down slightly was a lack of atmosphere, but maybe that was just due to the restaurant being emptyish. On the other hand it was great to be able to have a conversation without the noise of most restaurants. I would urge anyone to go there and enjoy the great food and pleasant service.

Booked on line ,seated promptly ,choice good , served quickly , food very good so all in all a pleasant experience . Would go again

Excellent food, attentive and friendly service. The location of the restaurant is good too, away from the crazy hen parties and drunks that have taken over the York city centre.

Lovely little restaurant. The set menu provided just enough choice and was very reasonable. The Sea bass was wonderful. Service was great and the friendly staff were attentive but not intrusive. Would definitely go back.

Very welcoming, friendly staff. There was a good choice of food and it was delicious and good value for money. We will visit again next time we're in York.

The menu sounded delicious but food sadly didn't meet expectations, staff were lovely & service very good but due to the poor quality of the food we're unlikely to visit again.

Very good food and great service. The lamb was cooked to perfection. We will definitely visit again later this year, when we come back to York.

Great restaurant with fantastic food, portion sizes were just right, good value, lovely atmosphere, fabulous decor, very attentive staff and I would highly recommend 31 Castlegate.

went with another couple for an early evening meal and had the 2/3 course specials. food was excellent and it was a nice setting. staff were friendly and professional. will certainly return

We arrived at 7.30 and where welcomed with a warm smile this made us feel at home immediately. The food and service where excellent we could not recommend 31 castlegate highly enough. Try it you will not be disappointed.

Was really quiet when we went which was great for service. We had the set menu which was brilliant value for money and the food was fantastic!!

Excellent service from the moment we entered, Excellent tasty fresh food presented elegantly and served promptly all in a relaxing environment. We will definetly be returning

Excellent food, excellent service in lovely surroundings. The staff were highly attentive and made the evening out an extremely pleasant experience. I Can't rate it highly enough.

Lovely meal to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. Very attentive staff and nice setting. Would recommend the belly pork starter- could have eaten it as a main it was so delicious!

Not great at all put a downer on our valentines meal. Waiting staff tried their best but food was disappointing all round. Might have Just been an off night

Wonderful evening spent for my husbands birthday 😀, set menu fantastic value for money, wonderful wine, great atmosphere & lovely service from the waitresses, highly recommend!

Lovely food and fab service, great value for money. The only negative was the restaurant felt dated and lacked atmosphere. We visited on 23rd December and it did not feel that festive.
