D'vine Restaurant in York

We were stopping in York for a couple of nights, and booked this restaurant for dinner and the menu looked great. We were greeted and sat down straight away into a semi-full restaurant. Our drinks order was taken and these arrived swiftly. We opted for the three course set menu (three courses for £25, it's hard to say no to that!). All three courses were amazing, I couldn't criticize it at all. Portion sizes were very generous and food tasted great. Our server was amazing and checked back on us, was friendly and professional, and made for a really pleasant experience. The optional service charge wasn't a problem (I can see someone complained in a previous review) as the staff really deserved every penny - in fact I left them extra too for their outstanding service! 10/10 amazing food, amazing service, will definitely return if back in York and recommend to anyone visiting.

Lovely restaurant in York. Fabulous service and food especially for my intolerance to dairy, gluten and crustaceans. Enjoyed the meal.

The staff were all lovely and attentive. The food was perfect, arriving quickly and hot with large portions. The bread especially was our favourite thing about the evening.

Great food and even greater service. Our waiter Saadet was so patient and understanding. 100% would recommend

We visited mid-afternoon and the restaurant was empty, so I can't comment on the atmosphere. The food was really good, my only criticism was the optional service charge that was automatically added to the bill, as there were only two of us eating. It seems to be an increasingly common thing for restaurants to add in a service charge - this isn't the USA and UK staff earn enough money to live off - a service charge should only be added to tip staff for exceptional efforts, hence they've lost 2 stars from the overall rating.

Service was attentive but impersonal, very rushed and felt as if Mains were left out whilst we finished starters Food was very bad, Cold veg & cold duck Greasy pork belly again with cold veg The service charge for a couple dining went on to our bill automatically. But this didn’t feel deserved, in this case. For £94 in total really not worth the money Avoid if possible

Ooh this was lovely! Great that this place had a gluten free menu too! We stayed a night in York, never having done so before and was a bit stumped for tea. So we just wandered through the streets and came across D'vine on Swinegate. It put us off initially as there was nobody else dining and even when we left there was only one other table in, but to be fair it was the Monday of the first week back to school for kids and parents. Inside was slightly dimmed lighting which gave a cosy romantic feel. We enjoyed their choice of music. Everything was clean and tidy. They have clear glass panels with nice black designs on separating various areas, which I particularly liked. The food a starter (deep fried Brie with a jam and a sourdough breads) for hubby gluten free (creamy mushrooms with breads) our mains were the same spaghetti in a creamy sauce with chicken and mushrooms, only hubbys was gluten free. The food was all hot and fresh. Staff were lovely.

Food overpriced & was…average at best. Service was attentive but impersonal, very by the book. The restaurant wasn’t even close to full but the staff member at the front desk quickly turned down a family of 5/6 claiming there was no room for a foldable pushchair. The service charge for a couple dining went on to our bill automatically. But this didn’t feel deserved, in this case.

Delicious pizzas and nice range of wine, we enjoyed a late dinner on a Monday night. Service was great and the pizzas were super tasty.

Really nice and comfortable restaurant. Food was very good and service friendly. So nice, I would have expected it to be far more expensive! Excellent place for pizza and pasta. Good vegetarian options.

We came to York for a stopover, charming restaurant, very courteous hostesses, very good and plentiful meal. The French !!!

We were so excited that the lady from the service helped us a lot and she was so nice and kind. The food was very good and the atmosphere calm

Delightful little place to eat staff where helpful and the food very tasty.

Staff were lovely and the food was delicious but we had starters and the mains came out ridiculously quick. We weren’t even in an hour. I would go back for the food though.

Not impressed with Sunday menu so had a starter for main course which was good desert & coffee where really good as was the service

This place is divine. As soon as you walk in, there's lovely friendly staff to great you. Even new staff are knowledgeable about the menu. That speaks volumes, to visit somewhere that ensure their staff are have the tools needed to provide a really lovely experience. Food was amazing with good portion sizes. Nice selection of alcoholic and soft drinks to compliment your meal. There is an amazing aroma/scent throughout that gives a really relaxed, enjoyable, and chilled vibe. We visited for lunch and haven't stopped recommending it since our visit. Best of all the staff are vigilant so you won't feel rushed or pestered but when you need them they are there. The balance is spot on. A really enjoyable experience that will definitely be repeated again soon. Thank you for a making a birthday lunch a special birthday memory.

Had a lovely meal here with friends one Sunday afternoon. Food was great, service brilliant in a very relaxed place.

Made to leave because they had a window booking without telling us this before seating us! Is our money not good enough??

Fantastic staff and lovely atmosphere. Allocated a seat near a large open window - a great view out onto the streets of gorgeous York. Food was brilliant; would definitely recommend!

My family and I went for my birthday meal and we had a great time! The food was gorgeous 😍 and the atmosphere was perfect. Our server Sophie was so sweet and made our experience even better ❤️ Will deffo be back.

We visited York and were looking for a nice Italian we were recommended somewhere else very well known in York however, we have been there before. We visited D’vine and I can honestly say it was Probably the best pasta arrabbiata I’ve ever had anywhere. We also had garlic bread which was beautiful it was hot and super fresh and tasty. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff were amazing. Absolutely loved it and we will definitely go again if we visit York again please try it it’s wonderful ♥️

I hate writing rubbish reviews so I’ll cheer myself up by first saying that the food was pretty good. However, if you like your service with a smile (or any kind of warmth come to think of it), to read the menu, and to finish swallowing before your plate disappears, I’d say you’re probably best off giving it a miss. I hardly ever refuse the service charge but very nearly asked them if they could enter a negative amount. Don’t bother… there look to be lots of other nice places.

Not the greatest food for the price, was very average. Quiet when we went on a Tuesday evening

Staff was really friendly and would recommend the Smoked Salmon Linguine on their menu. Family of 6 came in and staff had no problems with the seating. Every food looked mouth watering and tasted to expectations. Would recommend.

Fantastic food and friendly staff

We had a great time at D’vine and couldn’t recommend more if you’re struggling to choose where to eat in the local area. The staff were friendly and attentive, the service was fast, and the food was fresh, hot, and good quality. We went for the fixed course menu which was a great price and chose the arancini to start which was delicious, followed by a Caesar salad which also didn’t disappoint. We also enjoyed their apple mocktail which was so refreshing and again reasonably priced, the mocktails and cocktails are not to be missed!

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here! Staff were very friendly and attentive, but not invasive in any way! Relaxed atmosphere, highlighted by a few diners eating alone, which is nice to see that they feel comfortable enough to do so! Drinks were well priced, and we loved the cocktails! Food was also very well priced. We were pleased to see a lunch menu with ample choice. The quality of the food was also good. We had the burgers and they were really nice. Saw some other people in the restaurant having main menu dishes, and they looked delicious too. Highly Recommend.

We often eat here when visiting York and it's always a lovely experience. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is always 'devine'. The atmosphere inside is cosy and warm. Never an issue when we visit here and will definitely keep returning.

Went here for valentines with my partner, we ordered a cocktail pitcher - which yielded about 5 drinks, calamari to share as a starter, and I ordered a lamb dish while he ordered a steak. I found the lamb dish to be truly divine - I’d never thought of pairing lamb with halloumi but it worked quite well. My partner wasn’t too impressed by the steak, thought it lacked a bit of flavour but was saved a bit by the peppercorn sauce.

Food was lovely (Brie starter was not fully defrosted / was cool in the middle), nice atmosphere + music, spent £50 on the set menu 3 course lunch for 2 people and extra 30 quid on (x3 cocktails) was not expecting a 10% service charge on top of this - would normally tip given the excellent service but the service charge for 2 people on a lunchtime seemed a bit unfair.

Had a great meal last night. Food was great, so was service and atmosphere. Read some bad reviews beforehand, but don't be put off because it is definitely worth a visit.

Such a lovely place thanks guys.

The food was good but it was overpriced and not particularly good value. In all nothing to write home about

Food was great, and a nice vibe inside. Service was good too

The pasta i ordered sounded great on the menu, it came very fast within 5 minute's which was suspiciously fast, it was watery, very bland and cheap salmon that was prepared horrendously, pricing didn’t reflect on the quality & taste. However the girl who served us was absolutely spot on , really nice. Definitely wouldn’t go back.

We were looking for somewhere different to eat in York and found D'vine. After looking at the menu online we decided to give it a go. We were definitely not disappointed. The service was excellent, all the staff made sure you were looked after and were very attentive. Food was delicious and very well presented, my partner had halloumi to start and mushroom risotto for main, I had the chicken pàte to start with the duck for main and we both said how amazing the dishes were. The vegetarian menu has a great amount of options too which my partner loved. We will not hesitate to go back for food and will definitely be recommending to friends and family.

powdered mashed potato, i showed the waiter who took it away and brought me a new bowl but then the meat was gone from the plate. then I still had to pay full price? staff were rude and accusatory. don't recommend.

Fantastic food, great staff who are very attentive without being intrusive. Our visits to this restaurant whenever we're in York have never disappointed, would happily recommend

Lovely food, great service. Early evening, weekdays, pre-Christmas, not busy

Delicious fillet steak and chocolate fondant dessert. My greeter and servers were great/lovely. Only deducting stars because I was dining alone and the good wines I wanted I was told could only be purchased by the bottle 😔 even though the menu showed by the glass. Wine from the alternative plastic menu wasn’t great.

In town with my parents for Christmas and thought this looked like a decent place. The menu looked good anyway. We were sat immediately however sitting down we noticed the upholstery was ripped and some of the fixtures were in poor condition. They will not make any off menu mixed drinks even if they have the ingredients. Starters (humus and mussels) were good. Duck ordered medium was WELL and near inedible. No check in from staff on drinks until after the meal was well finished. Check took 25 minutes after the table was cleared and we confirmed we wanted the check three times. Plenty of other restaurants in town. Go somewhere else.

Amazing food, drinks and service, we will be back

What can I say about the place beautiful fine decor easy to park really good 👍

Loved this place service great food excellent

Food was good and service was excellent

Excellent service and beautiful food.

Good tasting food, will definitely be back again 😋

My boyfriend and I had a great experience at D'vine last weekend. The service was amazing and the atmosphere inside is lovely, felt so intimate. We really liked our food and if it wasn't for having to rush to the cinema we would've loved to stay for dessert. Only thing I didn't like was the price for the halloumi starter felt a bit much for how little you get, but everything else we felt was very fairly priced. Would definitely go back!

A gluten free menu as well as the normal menu

Was an amazing experience! Food delicious, great service and the place is lovely

Very nice set menu with good choice of food. Also a good main menu.

Tolles Ambiente, sehr leckeres Essen und freundliche Bedienung. Perfekt

One host, indian lady was rude, everyone elsw were lovely. Cocktail and food were amazing

Pasta were to spicy so you couldn't feel any other taste , d'vine burger it's better even in McDonald's It is coming with coleslaw salad as a side and the pot it is actually for one bite and the pizza seems to be frozen , and the tips it's included (10%) already. Very disappointing

Cosy and Chill restaurant. Friendly staffs and lovely food. Will definitely come again.

This is my second visit to D'vine, we came last year after the races as we struggled to book anywhere that allowed a toddler in after 5 pm. The food and staff were that nice we booked again for this visit. And it didn't disappoint. We were greeted by your lovely staff and walked to the table, menu's was passed out and asked for allergies. The food arrived in a reasonable time and all at once for a table of 7. It was hot and well presented. When we finished eating, the staff was quick to move plates and ask for drinks. Overall, it was a great visit again. Thank you, D'vine

Party of 10 for a Saturday night. The food cannot be faulted at all! The service however was incredibly slow when it came to ordering drinks and trying to order more drinks. This left a little distaste when we were presented with a service charge

Beautiful place to come Staff and food are to die for

I thoroughly enjoyed the sea bass. It was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. The accompanying veggies were fresh and complemented the dish beautifully. The salad was delicious and refreshing. The service was also very good :))

Really Disappointed Ordered food 2 out of 4 was wrong then one for a vegetarian was brought to the table as a bacon and cheese toastie when she ordered a halloumi burger, we informed a member of staff and she was convinced the bacon and cheese was halloumi. The bacon and cheese toastie was taken away only for the same roll to return with a single piece of halloumi on. Paid extra for a side and only got two tiny pieces of sun dried tomato. They admitted it was there fault but unapologetically charged us £5.00 Service Charge. Won't be returning again. If I could do a 0 stars I would but sadly have to put a 1star. Great first start to a week away year later and still not had an apology

Had a lovely walk one evening in search of food, we came across this amazing place 😋

Food was amazing, fresh and perfectly cooked. I had the duck breast and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. Delicious! Would eat here again next time I am in York.

Great restaurant, lovely atmosphere. My £26 steak was a little tough though. Didn't complain...who wants to ruin a beautiful dinner date?

D'vine is a great place to eat, went mid week after work so was quiet didn't need to book. Friendly fast service, great tasting food.

Amazing pizza and amazing chicken Caesar salad would definitely recommend this place and amazing service from cosmin

Lovely food,service very good and served by cosmin.very good.this is chicken ceaser salad and Parma ham pizza.

Went before, wasn't impressed! Tried again, and glad I did. It was lovely.

Good choice of gluten free dishes available. Enjoyed the food and drinks.

Visited at a quiet time so great for what we wanted. Great food and service was good.

Wonderful restaurant, very welcoming and friendly also very clean and well organised I would recommend to anyone 👍👍

I went with a friend and her two children. We all had a main, with two pizzas, pasta and a salad. For a Saturday the service was okay, but there were issues with food not coming out on time and not being served at all. When it did appear the food was tasty and good quality. Definitely recommend overall, but not necessarily on a Saturday lunchtime.

Great service and awesome pizza.

Excellent food and drink and fantastic atmosphere

Fui ao D'vine a noite, onde não era mais um restaurante e sim um nightclub. Apesar do espaço pequeno, é muito animado, o DJ é excelente. Recomendo pra quem gosta principalmente se ritmos mais latinos

Nice food and pleasant staff. The usual Italian classics you would expect like pizza, pastas and lasagna. No problem with gluten and dairy free. Gluten free items are noted on menu and I was able to talk through dairy free options - the fish and roasted vegetables were good

My husband and I had our lunch here, we ordered the Tuna Nicose Salad, however we were very disappointed with the whole experience, the Tuna was fine, the rest was totally abysmal, half of the salad ingredients were missing, the majority of the salad was ice burg lettuce which was well past it's sell by date, brown and not appetising. We had to give it one star as the drink was nice and cold. Wouldn't waste my money here again and wasn't even offered a reduction!!! Very disappointing

We were caught in the rain, looking for somewhere to eat. What a find! The food and service were excellent and we shall certainly be going again. A new favourite for both of us.

Excellent night food and service were brilliant. Only one question was the service charge just shy of £6 and it was optional, so I asked them to remove it from my bill. I like to tip voluntarily, not just because it was on the bill, will return

Excellent meal and service. One of the people I was with didn't like her meal and the staff were great about it. I had a pizza as they do two for one pizzas on a tuesday and it was really good, the base was thin and tasty and plenty of topping. The prawn starter was also perfectly cooked. I will definitely be back.

Very disappointed with the food served. Why bother eating out when the food offered, is worse than what you prepare. The Sea Bass looked like it had been run over, and I struggled to find much of anything delicious in my pasta dish. No way back here unfortunately.

The staff is welcoming. The sea bass is prepared excellently, with a crispy skin and succulent flesh. The pizza is equally commendable and perfectly made. Given the quality, the price point is completely justified.

Not terrible, but not as good as reviews suggest. Menu too large and food tasted frozen and flavourless. The pizza was fine, but strange to have strawberry jam with brie, why not cranberry? The crème brûlée was impressively bad as it had no flavour. Ice cream was nice though! Customer service was also good, v friendly, and fast. Glass of port was also generous. Overall we were d’ssapointed.

Really nice place to eat for dinner good food and atmosphere

Good food, attentive friendly service. Good atmosphere would recommend, although drink prices out if date.

Really good food, service was fast and efficient. I had Tuna nicoise and my wife had salmon linguine. No complaints at all.

Lovely restaurant with amazing food.

The food was good but we worried why the restaurant was empty! Then when we paid the bill, there was over £8 service charge for two people without pre notification of this. They also allowed us to order from one menu for one price then charged us higher price and the person who tried to remedy this was a mafia wife! Lol never again absolutely shocking! No wonder the restaurant is empty! Can’t say one price then charge more and do nothing about it! Scammers of the highest order

Change your menus as we been charge different from what stated on the menu!

Excellent service. Fantastic food. Well worth a visit. Cocktails are amazing.

Popped in for a bit of lunch with the wife to find friendly staff, sandwiches full with tasty ingredients along with a beer and glass of wine. Didn't take long to be prepared. Will visit again...

Great food amazing service, if in York go for a meal you won't be disappointed

Nice food nicely presented and served. Offers.

Simply the best meal we have had for years!!

Lovely evening spent here, food was great, staff were lovely and the host couldn't be more accomodating. We had not made a prior booking but they were more than happy to squeeze us in. Lovely atmosphere. Would definetly come back here next time we visit.

Delicious food, kind staff and lovely atmosphere!

Great food and friendly service

This place is fantastic. Great choice on the menu including mussels which are to die for. Really friendly service and all prepared fresh. Highly recommended.

I had a calamari portion which costed more than £8 but only contained three pieces. That’s unbelievable and not acceptable at all. It looked like a joke with the customers. Absolute shame!

Came here after walking out of one place because we were sat over 10 mins and weren't even offered a drink, couldn't get seated in another place they were fully booked (there was 5 of us) so glad we came here staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Our server Pranavi was very attentive she asked us if the food was ok etc also my shopping bag had ripped and she brought me some tape (life saver) the food was great, drinks were good and was reasonably priced. Decor was nice, place was clean however the booth we were sat in could do with a revamp leather was coming off the seat. All round a good place to go. Good service and good food.

General walk up opportunity on a Saturday afternoon with my family. Fantastic food calm relaxing atmosphere. When we arrived by chance a table was made available with up to 3 hours before it was booked out again. Staff were great and we will visit again
