The Go Down Restaurant

Always warm, friendly and great quality food. Yummy in my tummy.

Excellent food good service the best meal we've had in York

Excellent food service and all at a realistic price.So convenient for a pre theatre meal

Pleasant evening, service was slow at the beginning taking drinks orders etc. Food was v nice, overall we had a good time

Had a lovely 3 course meal , portion sizes were plentiful, we're really full, food was a high standard and staff were really friendly and accommodating, Will definitely be returning, thanks for the free glass of wine as it was my wife's birthday.

As always, excellent service. Food fresh, hot, and delicious. Service could not be faulted.

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Lovely food and lovely service thanks

Fantastic food and service. Fixed price or a la carte menu,wide choice. I've been dining here for 20+ years, highly recommend.

Fantastic food and great service - lovely night all round, would definitely recommend!

Excellent overall and the food was superb and very well priced

Lovely food - the set menu offers a great value meal in an independent restaurant where quality and service are so much better than the average York eating place.

We go to the Ebor races every year, and every year we eat here. We’ve been going for four years and each time the food and the service is amazing. The staff are just lovely, especially the owners, and the food is beautiful. It’s real home-cooked food and such value for money. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a hearty meal visiting York!

Great food and great service , the only downside was the service charge being added automatically as think this should be at the diners discretion, would have given a generous tip anyway

The most delicious food we have had in ages. Prices good. Staff amaxing

Visited over a period of years and has never disappointed. Food and service just amazing

Excellent food. Prompt service. My new favourite place to eat in York

Our meal was one of the best I've ever had and the service was great. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting York.

Really good meal and excellent service. Will certainly visit again.

Once again the meal at the Go Down Restaurant was superb the sea food pancake was delicious the service and atmosphere are second to none my favourite restaurant ,We are looking forward to our next visit recommend to our friends when they visited York and agreed it was superb going to visit again

the whole thing was brilliant.The service and food were excellent and we will definitely go again. The one downside is that there is a service charge on the bill. If we want to tip someone, we will. I strongly disagree with it being put on our bill without our knowledge.

That bread!! That warm loaf with balsamic oil and soft butter accompaniments are what draws us back to this amazing hidden gem! Along with the fantastic choice and quality of food, fabulously attentively and sincere service my Mother and I decided to spend some quality 1:1 time at a place which held fantastic memories for us. We last dined in The Go Down over 20 years ago (originally we thought it was only 10 but then worked out it was much much longer!) and because we loved it so much all those years ago we went back and the place continued to exceed our expectations. Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

Great food at here been using the Go Down for years now , Staff are lovely and would recommend this place to anyone visiting York , not over expensive either , must be up there with the best in York

Wonderful food served by lovely people Never ever had a bad meal

Steaks were chewy and overcooked,cinema to go to so nothing said at the time

As always, pleasant welcome, superb food, enjoyable evening. Would recommend to anyone

It was wonderful as usual. Good staff,good food what more can you ask for?

Great restaurant, very accommodating and the best menu ever. Will definitely return again.

Excellent choice on fixed price menu and food was delicious Pleasant atmosphere staff friendly and efficient

Just great food. Better than run of the mill types in york

Do not wish to say at this time Thank you for asking

Fabulous food - fresh & piping hot Lovely attentive service & fantastic value for money.

Excellent Food and excellent service we will return to see Penny and staff

Very good food quality, not visited for a while but will be back

Lovely food which was well presented. Great service, superb value for money.

Lovely food, smashing service! Thank you for a cracking experience

Every time we visit this restaurant, the quality of food and service stands out. This restaurant is not easy to find, but must be one of the best in York

OK, but I’ve had better there. Overall average! They credited bill for over cooked duck, beware of service charge! Restaurant was packed, good for them, not so good for diners.

I've been dining here for many years. Excellent choice of menus, both fixed price and a la carte. Food always good and very enjoyable. Thankyou Penny, Peter and all the staff .

Had a really good meal from the set menu. The standard of food was excellent and service wonderful. It was very quiet but given this was the first Friday in January that was understandable. Would recommend.

The Go Down wasn't having a great night - but even on a less-than-perfect night this is still a great place to eat. Generous portions of well-cooked, interestingly presented English food sit alongside a small but well-chosen wine list. The service is fantastic, and returning visitors are greeted warmly by the family owning the restaurant. There was an issue with the fire alarm during our visit which took a while to resolve, not the restaurant's fault but a little annoying. My wife's steak dish was also overdone but this was swiftly rectified. My own food was fantastic throughout. We're regular visitors when in York and will be back for sure.

Excellent service welcome and food as usual. This is my 8th visit over 8years a favourite when I visit York the early bird meal is value for money that you really shouldn’t miss .The menu is varied and food well presented.

The Go Down is always our preferred restaurant when we visit York and it never lets us down. Great food, great service and great value. We miss the Bakewell Tart though. Please bring it back!

Excellent food. Very friendly and efficient service. The 2 or 3 course options represent great value for money. Recommended wine of good quality and reasonably priced. Ideally located for the Grand Opera. We'll be back!

Menu had change from last time we were their but still nice the only thing was our hand cut chips were very dry & my sticky toffee pudding was really hard so could not eat it they did take it off the bill

We chose to eat from the set menu which seemed to offer good value. Both our starters were excellent however we both chose to have the filet steak with a pepper sauce for our mains which sadly was a let down given we paid a £7.50 pp supplement for the pleasure. Both desserts were ok and the wine we chose was excellent. Service was very good so overall certainly give the restaurant a try but a bit hit and miss for us.

Lovely evening. Food and service excellent. Something for everyone here. Couples and groups catered for. Located in town. Handy for buses or taxis or to continue your evening at a local hostelry.

Fab food and lovely staff as always. Been many times and never disappointed. Pauline is a lovely hostess. We will definitely be going back again.

This restaurant is a find! So convenient for the Grand Opera House, York boat and the shops. The staff were very welcoming and the ambience pleasant. We had the early bird menu which was good value and tasty. We will go again.

Great food large portions flavours of the sauces fantastic staff friendly and professional and not over priced wish we were local but will call again when visiting York.

Everything was excellent , the food was exceptional , service good and atmoshphere enjoyable , would definitely book again,the restaurant is easy to get to , very central .
