Ate O'Clock in York

Had a lovely meal, service was brilliant.

An accidental find on a weekend away in York. Loved this place, Great arthritis aesthetic and atmosphere. Lovely staff, great food, fantastic cocktails.

My sister in law booked this place, fantastic. Highly recommend

Staff were polite and cheerful manager was nice and polite very acommodating great selection of food chef was a genuinely nice guy too great cocktails too

Tasty food and friendly service The spiced duck breast was full of flavor and tender. The sticky toffee pudding was rich and indulgent, a perfect sweet ending. Highly recommended!

Lovely food and great service ..spoilt for choice. .would go again

Came to visit this little restaurant as part of a night away in York Town Centre. It's really quite unusual in there but in a very good way! Our table was in a section further back, decoration was lovely and seating was comfortable. I would have preferred the music to maybe be a little quieter but that could have been because we were sat right underneath a speaker. Our waitress was really attentive and the barman who brought drinks was also lovely. It was my friend's birthday and they brought her out a little cake with a candle at the end which was a nice touch. Food was all good but maybe expected slightly larger portions for the price. Drinks menu was vairied and no complaints there. Overall had a lovely meal and would definitely come back.

It was very nice but the food took a bit long but it was definitely worth the wait because the food was top tier 😋😋😋

We happened upon this restaurant by chance, we are not local, and we were so impressed. They made room for us without any hassle, our food was piping hot, well cooked, tasty and well presented. Could not fault it at all. Would 100% recommend and will be back when next we visit x

As always great food and good value for money, sadly its the 1st time we have visited any sat in booth, these are very small tables and have really long seat bases making them uncomfortable for ourselves. We asked to relocate however this was not possible even though there appeared to be a large amount of empty Normal tables so maybe booking could have been shuffled?

Very busy and we popped in on the off chance , they managed to fit us in. The decor is so wonderful and the staff smiley and well organized. The food was a great price and when I say amazing I mean it! Was every bit tasty each mouthful. Definitely would go again if we are in York.

Absolutely fantastic meal for my wife's 40th. Booked at short notice on a weekend away with two very tired small children but wete able to easily accommodate us, brought the booking forwards and incredible service and food. Everyone had a wonderful time and our waitress Elleicia was super. Would come back here on any future York visit for sure!

Great place, staff were helpful & friendly. I was having dinner with my family and needed to bring my dog so had to sit in the "courtyard", but this did not feel like an outside space at all, covered & heated. Very nice. Food was good, the duck & chicken supreme mains got thumbs up, risotto was Ok, chicken burger uninspired. Desserts looked pretty good too. Recommended.

Been here three times in the last few years and the food has always been absolutely spot on. Service is always very attentive and the atmosphere is intimate and never crowded. The set menu is also incredibly good value for money, we came during York Restaurant week and the bill was less than £50 for two, three-course meals plus drinks and service charge.

Fantastic food, a great hidden venue and friendly staff - a great place to book on a York trip for the evening!

Quaint restaurant in the centre of York. Lots of choice on the menu including an entire separate gluten free menu. Service was attentive and in a good setting with lights on the entrance to the main area. Seems pretty busy so recommend booking ahead.

Booking service was good but unfortunately we had to cancel thus did not sample the food etc🐶

Good food and was really lovely. Elleicia served us and was amazing all night!

Welcoming management and a beautiful restaurant!! Food was absolutely incredible, both its presentation and its flavour! Elleicia was our server and she was fantastic!

Superb experience. Menu was varied and interesting. Not cheap but good value. The food was superb, All our party enjoyed all the food. My starter of fried brie was exceptional. Portions were very good, service brilliant, polite, helpful, very nice place, families and parties welcome. We had the Sunday roasts, beef, pork - superb. RECOMMENDED

Superb food. We tried to book earlier in the day but they only had a certain number of slots available for booking and they were all gone. When we appeared as walk-ins we got a table without any problems at all. In fact it was quite quiet which is a shame because the food was excellent. My partner ordered a tea which they seemed to forget about and needed to be reminded about but that's the only fault. The pork belly special was magnificent and arrived looking like a work of art.

Fantastic place food was amazing had the pork belly would definitely recommend The staff was very friendly and fast made me feel very welcome The price was good for the high quality meals they serve Definitely coming back

Second time coming to this restaurant. Gorgeous food with brilliant service from start to finish. Came here to celebrate my partner's birthday. Good portion sizes. There really was nothing to dislike Booking is recommended to be guaranteed a table, especially during busy periods. I booked online, really easy to do.

my wife and I popped in here for food this afternoon, lovely place. Nice atmosphere very accommodating staff and lovely well presented food. They have a good menu with plenty of choice and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food that they offer.

Ate O'Clock was a fantastic choice during our first visit to York! The central location made it easy to find, and the modern, stylish décor created a great atmosphere. We visited for dinner on a busy Saturday night, and despite our table being a bit small, the cosy vibe more than made up for it. The service was friendly and attentive throughout. The food was absolutely delicious—I had the warm tofu salad, which was tasty, and my partner really enjoyed the roasted chicken and mashed potatoes. We finished with a cheesecake that was simply divine. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting York!

Very pretty entrance to the restaurant. Tasty food.

My family of four enjoyed dinner here and we all had excellent meals. It is cozy inside and the service was good!

we arrived 14 minutes early which we were told our table wasn't ready and we had to wait. Had our food which was very good but lots of tables were empty all the while we were there so we couldn't understand why arriving early was such an issue. Service charge is added to the bill but you can refuse to pay it.

How it is rated is what it was. We were stuck in a far back corner, the starter had "seafood" in it and tasted like potato croquettes. The main was bland. Just horrible. Don't bother

We went here for our anniversary meal, food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. The staff went above and beyond, we were given a free glass of Prosecco on arrival and a dessert with Happy Anniversary written on the plate, well worth a visit and the staff are very welcoming and accommodating. Will definitely come back when we next visit York!

Brought my girlfriend for date night and 100% happy with my choice to come here. Sat in a corner booth in a stunning red room. Amazing food staff were so friendly and welcoming. Will deffo be back and recommend to my mates for date night.

We made a booking but it was obvious they were not expecting us. Everyone was crammed into one room when there was other seating available. Service was just not really on the ball; got wrong items or nothing at all, felt like they were new or had no training. Food was honestly kinda mid, steak was dry. Chips not cooked and were hard.

Had a fantastic Sunday roast here, one of the best I've ever had at a restaurant. Good service and nice atmosphere. Dog friendly to which is great. Highly recommend eating here!

Good location in York centre. Excellent food and good service. Would highly recommend.

Excellent in every aspect..try it.

Absolutely stunning restaurant, Mariano was so lovely, not only as a bar tender but as a person, helped me find a portable charger!!! 10/10 place for drinks and dinner!!! def would recommend!!!

First time we have tried this restaurant, but we will certainly be back the food is excellent.

Had a two night stay in York, our guest house 23 St Marys recommended, Ate oclock for dinner we had cocktails in the bar, then were taken through to the Restaurant, it was quite amazing, quirky and beautifully set up. Of course all the clocks were set at 8. The lovely Freya looked after us so well. Great choice of wines and very reasonably priced. I had the chicken and my better half, had the sirloin steak, both cooked to perfection, no space left for the great desserts on offer. The lovely manager took time to chat, and gave us the history of the bar and restaurant. Highly recommend.

Cocktails, service, atmosphere are very nice. Employees are concerned

Lovely place to dine. Excellent service and good deals on set meals. 👌

Lovely meal for a birthday, very busy but didn't feel rushed. Service and food were both really nice. Would recommend booking in advance.

Food was very nice, service was very lacking and not very friendly just very much going through the motions etc, atmosphere was fine but very warm and no real background music or anything memorable.

Service and atmosphere good. Breaded brie starter was nice and good selection of beers. Spiced duck breast a massive disappointment, both duck breasts were placed skin side down on the plate so the skin wasn't crispy and quite flabby. I was too tired to send it back but mentioned to the waiter. I won't be returning.

Not sure what happened. The steak I ordered was very chewy and the vegetables very salty for my taste. The dessert was covered with hard powdered sugar bricks for no reason. Service was friendly, but not very welcoming. When the waiter asked about the food, I told him the steak was overcooked. No offer of a new steak or maybe a few pounds off the price. Just an apology. For me it is a waste of money, cause I can make better food myself. Wouldn't go there again. Of course I might just have had bad luck so feel free to try it yourself. Other reviews seem to be very positive.

Booked in for our wedding anniversary and the staff were amazing, went above and beyond to make it extra special, would definitely return, their adjoining cocktail bar is well worth a visit too. Thank you once again

Me and my partner went on Friday evening. It was our 2nd anniversary and Ate O'clock were very accommodating. On arrival we got complementary prosecco, we struggled to choose what to eat as the menu was full of great choices. The service was quick, the food was even better and the wine went down a treat. When we asked for the bill we received a happy anniversary sticky toffee pudding which just topped off the evening for us. We will definitely be coming back the next time we are in York

Very good place with tasty food. Enjoyed it so much!

It was our 25th wedding anniversary and the whole experience (which did include a free glass of bubbly) was amazing, beautiful food and professional service proper 5 star xxxxx

My husband and I went tonight 7 th of September to celebrate our anniversary everything was amazing from the ambience to the food and also the service especially been looked after by Liz and Tommy such assets to your work force it's my husbands first time and he really enjoyed it I have been many times and as always been exceptional we would rate it one of our favourite Resteraunts

Very friendly welcome and service - very attentive and quick. The food was great - everyone really enjoyed it. House wine very good and fairly priced. Overall a very nice restaurant. Top recommendation.

Ate here last night, pate, rump steak, chicken burger, all good.

Honestly amazing, I can not wait to return 😍 love the place 😍 Staff are amazing and welcoming ❤️

Fantastic place, food was delicious, staff were so friendly and welcoming. I had the ate o clock beef burger and my partner had sea bass which were both superbly presented and tasted beautiful. Couldn't recommend more... Thank you!

Tried to get about 5.30pm on a Friday evening.fully booked however they said we could have a table until 7.30pm.couldnt fault anything

First visit here, wont be the last, service excellent, food great. Nice variations on the menu (hard to choose though!)

A lovely host we had, a Scottish Gentleman, made us more than welcome. The place was recommended to me by a friend so took his recommendation and off we trotted. Went for the 3 course menu and was top notch food. I’ll go again but just me and the Mrs. Next time.

Nice good, great atmosphere and location. The chicken was a little overcooked so they reduced the bill. My burger was perfect.

Nice restaurant with decent menu options. Only gripe I did have that there wasn’t much time in-between our starters and the mains being brought out. It’s like they want to rush people through their meals and then kick them out the doors. The meals themselves were quite nice. I have the chicken supreme and the wife had the lamb. Both looked and tasted very nice. No deserts this time as the meals were filling. Saying that, we did have the crispy chilli beef to start between us. That was very nice so I do recommend that. All in all, nice place for meal if you out and about.

Some of the best cocktails I've had and a good deal 2-4-1. Cool atmosphere, friendly staff and good background music. Will visit again

Had a wonderful day exploring York. Chose to wander down the path to a lovely lunch with my family. The Rhubarb Cooler was a particular standout that hit the spot after a day walking through the city.

Beautiful decor and ambiance, lovely service, prompt and polite, food is incredible and more than reasonably priced especially for the portion sizes, a must if you are hungry in the beautiful city of York!

Food was excellent, so as the service. Table felt a little cramped but the atmosphere is fantastic too.

40th wedding anniversary meal. From moment we arrived we were treated to two free glasses of prosecco. Service was top notch and nothing to much trouble. Soup of the day for starters which was excellent Wife chose the lamb cutlets and I had the sirloin steak for our main course Both arrived after a short wait ,piping hot and very tasty they were to. We were then surprised with a anniversary pudding .A very nice touch. As the wife was gluten free unfortunately could not eat the cake. This was without any hesitation a second plate arrived with some gluten free ice-cream and beautiful decorated. This is a place to celebrate if you have a special day .Food and service is top notch and the staff are friendly. With a budget to suit all tastes.

A beautiful quaint little restaurant in the middle of York. Sat down straight away on a busy bank holiday Sunday thought it was really super busy. Felt a little cramped in but still enjoyed my time here. The atmosphere with the staff felt like they were rushing around a bit however service with our table was excellent. The food was AMAZING! Had the scampi and black pudding to start and the lamb cutlets for main served with a light crisp tonic was the perfect accompaniment to a heavy meal. All well presented and cooked perfectly to my liking. Very well priced, enjoyed thoroughly. Will return but maybe not in such a high traffic date or time.

The scrambled eggs and smoked salmon were amazing.

Ice restaurant set of the Main Street. Decide nice. Staff helpful. Food quality and size for the price good. All round enjoyable meal. Wasn’t that keen on the the booths but that’s just personal preference I guess.

Had the loveliest dinner here! The food was exquisite, and the service was terrific. Alexander was wonderful and very helpful, and the creme brulee stole my heart

It's fine kinda expensive for what it is

We had a very enjoyable meal here at the Ate O'clock. Good options on the menu, and I went for the lamb chops. Great veg and tasty sauce, although the chops were a little chewy. All in all, it is a decent restaurant, and we would come here again.

A really enjoyable meal from start to finish

The value of the food is very good - 3 courses for £26 on select days Coming from London, sometimes even one course is around that much. Very big portion sizes and quite good seating. The lady food server was great and friendly. I found the guy/manager guy with glasses a bit unfriendly - smile - it’s what your there for - goes a long way!

My partner and I went here for my birthday meal. For starter I had the bread and oils and my girlfriend had garlic bread. The garlic bread is better as a side as there were 4 pieces and we didn't want to eat too much prior to our main meals. I ordered the sirloin steak and she had the mushroom linguini. Both meals were hot and tasty and the waiter was great. The steak was a very thick cut, cooked perfectly for my taste (medium rare). I had the garlic butter on top with some chunky chips. We had a side salad of rocket and parmesan which was nice to put on top of the steak too. The mushroom linguini was creamy and delicious. I had the chocolate orange creme brulee for pudding with a glass of Taylor's port. Very nice when I didn't think I had any room left! The malbec red was nice as was the rose white zinfandel. We were booked in for 18:30 and as we were there the seats quickly filled up. Booking is a must. Lovely evening with lovely food. Thank you.

Great dining experience in York and reasonable price, portion is quite large too — never had so much rice on a sea bass dish.

Fabulous! Great service great food. Nothing too much trouble

Fast efficient service. Food excellent and lots to chose from. Will visit again

The service here was impeccable. The food was a little salty, and the restaurant was very warm. It felt a relief to have the door opened.

Amazing food. So tasty and well presented. The pork belly melted in the mouth but with that crispy and oh so tasty crackling,the soy sauce dressing was a perfect compliment. The risotto was the best I've ever had. My husband had slices of steak which were cooked to perfection served on a bed of mind blowingly tasty little treats. He had skin on fries and I'm sorry to be repetitive but amazing again. We were served by a drop dead gorgeous young man with a smile that was just well !!!!! He complemented the whole eating experience perfectly. Wish they had a Manchester branch because I would definitely be a regular.

Lovely place,great food..had lovely anniversary dinner

Great restaurant - came here for lunch and it was a great atmosphere and great food.

We enjoyed a very decent meal, the wines/ champagne was too pricey but vin de jour £27 / bottle ok. One oddity my lady companion doesn't like carrots with her steak. I had peas with my fish so we suggested as ' chef could not change plates ' we swop veges this was rather slipshod done but she had not peas more than 5 or 6 and hardly 3 potatoes: so I shared my chunky chips. Not what you'd expect of presentation at a quality restaurant where we've eaten before ? My Lady was very king about it so ( as many older gen like me 60+ ,) WE were kind a made no fuss. Overseas visitors maybe not so. ' Service ' ! ?

Stumbled across this restaurant on a walk around York. The food was amazing and the service was great. We were looked after by a Scottish guy (I forgot to take his name) who was great, friendly and knowledgeable- would recommend this place and would return. The chicken Kiev was gorgeous

We came for Sunday roast. It was early and few customers so no atmosphere to speak off. The staff were pleasant and friendly. We had a lovely cup of breakfast tea to warm us up after a river trip followed by beef roast dinner. The beef was lovely but one roast potato only on my plate and it wasn't nice. The mix of vegetables were okay, small amounts of greens, carrots and parsnips with some cauliflower cheese. The gravy was nice. The male and female toilets are upstairs and very small. The floor was soaking wet and very slippery unfortunately. The disabled toilet was modern and clean. It is a pleasant place, I would think that wheelchair access would be on the tight side as there is not a lot of space.

Very Nice place. All the staff are amazing! Food is great! First time we go to this restaurant and we enjoy the food and drinks! Highly recommended!

It's a treat, date night go for it

Food was absolutely gorgeous, service was great and kids meals were also great , it’s a little expensive but so worth it I don’t mind paying more if the food is as nice as it was

The food was incredible, absolute perfection on a plate and the service was outstanding!

Fish and ships a little greasy, good service and nice place.

1st visit Great menu and service Very nice ambience and decor Cosy & classy enjoyed very much

We absolutely love visiting here. The food is amazing, flawless and very creative. The service is unmatched, they are like mind readers. Best playlist and even better atmosphere. An asset to York.

Good food, simple and tasty. Serrvice of high quality.

poor customer service. was told we could have a table for a large group on our date and then we were told he couldn't move the tables to accurate rude on the phone offered deposit this wasn't possible either. sent an email which was ignored rather than replied to. just poor customer service

Really good! Quality of ingredients was fantastic. Overall food tastes was amazing, and service was spot on ! Thanks ☺️

Delicious Fillet with Dauphinoise potatoes. Friendly efficient service. A great evening thank you

The food was lovely but my main course of chicken supreme was served on a cold plate which meant it went cold very quickly ...please heat your plates

Quaint restaurant with beautiful decor and hearty meals. The set menu was great value and the Sunday roast was excellent. The confit duck leg and beef rump were especially good!

Excellent service and lovely food

Great location. Well priced including a special on a Saturday.

So many places in York to rest & feast , but Ate O Clock stood out with its warm atmosphere . A 3 course menu provided a good value tasty meal , Beef Rump was very good . Nice friendly staff makes the whole experience comfortable . Worth a visit .

Very pleasant place, good service , food good only real criticism was that we were charged £18 for 2 glasses of house red wine. Especially noticeable as the food was very reasonably priced

We had the belly pork it was divine and the gravy was delicious .
