The Cut & Craft in York

Nothing special at all. Pork belly starter dry and tough. Sirloin steak really poor quality. Tough to cut even on medium cook. Wife's sirloin was incredibly grisly. A very very average meal for an expensive price. Service and staff were good, but the food so poor for the money that we won't be going there again. Much better places in York to spend £90 per head.

Such a reliable restaurant and such a fun experience!

It’s our favourite restaurant and one we always visit when in York. We were there to celebrate our wedding anniversary and the staff made it very special. We always have the flat iron steak and a few sides. It didn’t disappoint! The whole meal and experience was mouthwatering and we can’t wait to go back!

One of the best steaks we’ve had. The flat iron was full of flavour and tender and a nice amount of meat - better than the steaks at Flat Iron in London. The sirloin was nicely charred but tender on the inside. Sauces (bone marrow and chimichurri) were really tasty and they gave a generous amount, which was appreciated! Truffle and Parmesan fries were a winner. We’d definitely come back if we’re in York again!

Thanks for turning my kid under 10 away at the door cos it was after 16.45 Saved me giving you money which would kill me (now) knowing your utterly ridiculous, pretentious douchebag policies. What else you got up your sleeves?!

Good food and good service. The "Craft' in the name isn't an indication of their range of beers - there's just one craft beer. Worst thing, that isn't obvious from their website or description is that their ambience is "banging club music". If that's not your thing, it's very hard to chill into the vibe

Went for a Sunday lunch - food was ok but came out lukewarm and the service wasn't great as the waiter was busy with other bigger tables. The waiter was apologetic up front for the service provided admitting he was rushed off his feet

Jonathan and ronny were fantastic. Really welcoming and friendly. The food was amazing, and the place itself had a really good vibe. Highly reccomend

Discovered establishment by chance...so happy we did. Was an amazing restaurant and great service. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience...even treated to birthday surprise !

Me and my husband are very happy with the staff and the service. Staff are very friendly - made sure everything is okay. Staff were asking if everything is okay. The food, it was VERY good! Drinks, i loved it! Will recommend this place to everyone. Made our honeymoon dinner and stay in York extra special 🥰 will definitely come back here when we get a chance to come back to York. ♥️

Underwhelming experience. Steaks lacked flavor to the point that without a sauce they were completely bland. Sides also lacked flavor. All in all very bland and low effort dishes. Wouldn’t recommend. They’re also another business with an “optional” (effectively opt-out) service charge; on top of their high prices (high in relation to the quality of the food).

Food was really nice, atmosphere and surroundings were fantastic. Was a little disappointed that after paying £38 for it, the steak that arrived was very small. The prices were quite expensive at £ 189 for two. However, you get what you pay for, and I cannot fault the service, quality, or style of this class upmarket establishment.

A sophisticated and well presented restaurant with well groomed and professional staff who care about the food, service and experience you'll have here. In fact, I wish I'd dressed nicer for the meal, as this place fosters an environment of class and suaveness. Great food, great staff and a great interior. Would highly recommend.

The entire staff was very respectful!

We will be back soon with great pleasure.

First time visiting cut&craft.cant say enough good things about it.Beautiful decor,lovely friendly staff.Ronny was so nice,friendly&helpful.Food was gorgeous,fresh&very tasty.Cauliflower wings were amazing.Received a lovely card as it was our Anniversary.we will be back in June.

Loved it here, first time and won't be our last Food was really nice. Definitely recommend.

Very laid back and comfortable steak house in York city centre.Early dinner menu/Daily menu or Al a carte your choice on Steaks, courses and drinks Wines, Cocktails or Beers available. Very tasty and lean cut Steaks with sides and sauces to choose from. Friendly staff and a welcome service. . If you book there is a deposit required. But most daytime dining is just walk in.

Setting is ok. Servicing need to improve as it is disorganized. Some oyster has bits of broken pieces of oyster shells. Quality of oysters are bad. It definitely was not an enjoyable dinner.

Sent you an email over a week ago, without the courtesy of a reply. My husband had 6 oysters and for 4 days after he was violently ill with painful stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea, having to be off work for 4 days this losing pay. Although the venue is stylish your neglect in customer service not responding to such an email where a customer has been extremely ill, is extremely disappointing.

The food although a little pricey was well presented and was very tasty, The staff was amazing and looked after all your needs, The restaurant decor in my opinion was amazing and such a warm welcoming atmosphere I would highly recommend a visit

Very good meat, nice atmosphere and good service

Always such a good experience dining here. We recently came to try the Sunday roast platter for two and it did not disappoint. The meats were succulent, the veg was perfectly cooked and we absolutely ate all of it!! We also had a starter. I would highly recommend the muscles, they were super tasty

Beautifully presented food and cooked perfectly 👌 Pleasant welcoming staff, attentive and quick service. Lovely place, and enjoyed a birthday meal recently on a weekend trip travelling from Newcastle. Would highly recommend and hope to visit again, suppose it's only an hour train ride away. Be sure to book a table!!

Large portions, beautiful restaraunt

Went into York the last weekend and decided to eat at the ‘cut and craft.’ Ordered a Strawberry Mojito which was stunning and a chicken burger with chips it was incredible. Both me and my boyfriend ate every last bit. It was very expensive but our meals were worth it! 😋

Visited York the other weekend and thought the cut and craft looked like a nice place to eat. It was absolutely stunning inside. I ordered a strawberry Mojito which was stunning and a chicken burger with chips which i ate every bit. It was quite expensive but looking around at the atmosphere you could see why. 🥰

The grilled goat cheese and beet root starter was delicious. The fish and chips were very tasty with a light batter. Great service and atmosphere in the garden area!

Loved the place on our visit to York. Would recommend to anyone

The best of everything. The calamari starter was brilliant. The best sirloin steak I’ve ever had. The Parmesan fries were so crispy and flavourful as were the onion rings and the hispy cabbage I could have eaten a bucket load. The service was also fantastic. I will definitely we coming back again 👍👍👍

The atmosphere is delightful, with the restaurant exuding a charming, rustic aesthetic that enhances its beauty. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax. The food, while reasonably priced and satisfying, lacks a distinctive flair in terms of flavor, offering a pleasant but unremarkable dining experience.

Great service from arrival to departure. The food and atmosphere was outstanding. Every detail was 'just right' from the table setting to the waiter to the music to the time it took food to arrive. Cannot wait to return!

Great food. Wonderful location. Staff was excellent.

Excellent service and food was delicious

Been here to celebrate my husband birthday. Everything was top notch. Don’t have enough words to describe this experience! Congratulations to the owner, to all the staff especially the bartender and the waiter appointed for as! Thanks a million.

Really nice steaks, great choice. Nice atmosphere, very attentive staff. The were very busy and were in a bit of a rush to get us out

Had a wonderful time this evening, we were welcomed by the hostess and shown to our spacious table. We were brought a second drinks menu and had a good length of time to ponder. Our waiter Ronny had good knowledge or the menu as was well attentive. We had a brilliant time with delicious food!

Amazing food, service and atmosphere, would absolutely recommend

Denied access of a working assistant dog. The hostess stated “guide dogs only” which is a clear violation of the equality act 2010 which grants ALL assistant dog the same level of access as guide dogs

Very nice place in the centre of York, staff were very attentive and understanding when we needed extra time. The Sunday lunch was huge

Once again, a truly amazing visit, without exception, every visit delivers us with a perfect steak.... And my husband is very picky! Each course is designed and delivered with art and tastes delicious. The staff are sorry professional but friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is romantic and fun. Yes, it's not the cheapest steak restaurant in town, but by far the best and NEVER lets us down. Love love love it here.

Food was absolutely beautiful couldn’t fault it at all. We was asked did we want dessert we didn’t want any was to full so they asked did want another instead which we then ordered. Drinks came we was sat talking away and they came over and asked for the table back and moved us to a cramped area next to the front door which was real drafty why ask us did we want another drink if they needed the table back. Totally spoilt the experience for us after that so won’t be in a rush back after that so disappointing. To actually put the surcharge on that made it even worse because I would certainly not have given a tip after that

This is a high end steakhouse in York with the prices to match, but well worth it. We came here as a group of friends and was very happy with the service given here. A couple of us shared the Sunday roast platter which is definitely a must try if you visiting on Sunday. Also one of the few places I know that did a very (rich) Blaked Alaska!

We came here for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. It was our first visit and it was amazing! The food was so yummy, lovely presentation and definitely worth the money. The best dauphinoise potatoes we have ever had! I’m gluten free, and they were so accommodating and helpful! And I felt safe to eat which is always nice :)

The Cut and Craft is truly exceptional. Visited with my partner for my birthday meal out and after looking at reviews for restaurants in the city centre, decided on here. The service was amazing, Jamal made us feel completely at ease and well looked after. The food is out of this world, one of the best meals we’ve had out in a long time. I had the Rib Eye and my partner had the herb stuffed chicken, both were perfect. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again.

Best burger I've ever had and my wife said the same thing about her fish and chips

We had a lovely experience at The Cut & Craft York before heading to see North By Northwest at the nearby York Theatre Royal. Fortunately, we had booked a few weeks in advance, definitely a smart move, as the restaurant was buzzing with energy, every table taken and a queue forming at the door. The food was delicious, fresh, flavourful, and served in generous portions. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive. While the overall service was very good, there was a minor hiccup: when our mains arrived, we were asked if we’d like any sauces on the side. One was brought promptly, but the other never arrived despite asking twice. The décor is stylish and inviting, and the background music was kept at a pleasant volume. However, the restaurant’s circular layout seems to amplify sound, which made conversation across the table a bit challenging at times. Despite these small issues, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would happily recommend The Cut & Craft.

Totally surprising, excellent food and wine too

We have been in Leeds and wanted to replicate the experience - it was good, actually quite good, just not as good as Leeds - still, a great place to have a great steak with a great atmosphere

Lovely restaurant, highly recommend anyone to go in and enjoy nice food in a nice atmosphere 😋

fantasic food and service well worth going

Wow, what an atmosphere. Came in with my partner on Saturday and originally wanted the flat iron but Danny (big shout out) suggested the Rib Eye and it did not disappoint. He definitely made the experience. We will definitely be back again

Great food. Service was excellent. As we're the toilets!

Wow wow wow!!!! Absolutely brilliant night spent for mine and my partners anniversary! I can’t remember our waiters name for the life of me, but he made our night so enjoyable and entertaining (hoping he can remember us from the photos!). Truly amazing at his job and made us feel beyond welcome and comfortable. The food was really lovely and would 100% recommend this place - so lucky we found it!! Thank you so much for making our night feel so special! ♥️

It is a lovely restaurant well done out the food was excellent but very pricey could get the same at Miller&Carter the service was slap dash I ask for some tap water when we ordered our drinks never got that not very attentive people that came in after use seemed to get serviced before use also they put a service charge on the bill then tell you you can take it off don't like that , we went there because my son bought my husband gift vouchers for his 70th birthday (£70)had to put another £70 to that over priced just two drinks two starters and two mains .

Excellent food, atmosphere and service. Our server was called Rosco. Nothing was a bother for him. He was very friendly and chatted with us.

We loved this place. The waiter was amazing. Food was incredible too , we were going to go Miller Carter, but luckily for us, they'd stopped serving , this is some of the best steak I've eaten The atmosphere was great.

Shocking service today, looked like their was a meeting on and no one was serving us. We sat for about 10-15 minutes waiting for someone to take our order even for a drink but all the staff were having a discussion and it didn’t interested them at all that they had customers to serve. When it’s not busy they’re not too bothered how long you wait! Sad as the food looked good

Great place, service was impeccable, the food tasted delicious with generous portions. We felt welcome and confortable even with our young son. Thank you Clifford. The music was slightly too loud though, or maybe I would have preferred something less clubby and more jazzy for a lunch. Overall, I would recommend.

Nice experience, a little hussle bustle in atmosphere, service slightly amateur but on the whole good

Fabulous evening last week. We came as a large group and were split into 2 tables. The service was attentive and friendly! The food came together which was some feat, as we ordered different steaks cooked differently! The sea bass was delicious after I removed the bones!

My second time at the Cut and Craft and I had an excellent time. The steak was absolutely amazing; cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour. The service was top-notch and the cocktails legendary! However, I do agree with others that the music is too loud, which makes it hard to fully enjoy the experience. Also, I miss the curly fries from the old menu, they were amazing. Despite that, I’ll be back for the steak and great service! Just please turn the music down.

High quality steak and bistro. The fillet was flavoursome and the side dishes good additions. Would also recommend the the Sunday roast sharer. The cocktails are fairly priced. Overall experience very good

Very good meal out with friends

Lunch visit today, food excellent, in particular the Bread and Butter pudding for dessert! Great, attentive service by Jessica

Fantastic and Jonathan, our server was absolutely wonderful. Nice gesture with a birthday card, which was not till the next day.

We enjoyed a delicious meal here last week Thursday 6 March. The service was fantastic, the staff were very attentive to our needs, friendly and super efficient. However, the couple on the table next to us who in my opinion had also received a top quality meal and service were extremely rude to the staff. They were aggressive and loud and I applaud the staff members who had to deal with them as it was done quietly and efficiently.

The steaks are cooked to perfection, melt in your mouth and very flavoursome. The service was good too. No faults at all. If you prefer a conversation with your meal to music then this isn't the place for you, that's my only issue; the music is overly loud ensuring you shout or soon give up attempting to talk to your company. It's not far off night clubevels of music to give you an idea. I guess there's some psychological reason, maybe you spend more if the music is of a certain type? Idk but it's not for me. It must work though because plenty of people like it. I've been twice now and I think my second time was likely to be my last. I'll be trying out the other places York has to offer.

Great steak but the staff is not very attentive. Dirty glasses of wine and when they served it, the waitress spilled it on my partner's shirt and didn't even apologise. Also, not a very good strategy in seating everyone at the back in the noise of the kitchen, instead of the nice tables at the front.

Tasty food and friendly staff. Good drinks choices available 👌

Very well cooked and tasty beef, but to give a complete experience, they should pay more attention to the polishing of the glasses as well as the seating. The ambiance could be improved to match the food.

Sunday lunch platter is fantastic 😋 👌! The excellent service starts with the young man that opens the door and welcomes you into the restaurant. The Sunday lunch here is the best I've had. 👌

A superb restaurant with excellent quality and service. It's a bit pricey but worth the extra for the quality of the food and service

Good food, great attentive staff, it was early afternoon so not busy which was nice.

Had a birthday dinner with my boyfriend- food was delicious and Jamal was amazing. :)

Expensive, but fantastic restaurant. Definitely worth the price if you love steak.

We had the fillet steak and it was absolutely excellent. Our server was friendly and funny, though the staff on the front desk could've been friendlier. The atmosphere was good, but the music was a little too loud and not really the vibe for a nice meal.

Visited the York venue, only for drinks this time but have previously eaten there and the food was excellent. Cocktails were amazing, the atmosphere was very good, all staff, professional and friendly, must mention Johnathan who was incredibly helpful. It was lovely and warm inside and very clean. Highly recommend.

Been for our second visit today, food was amazing, I had the crispy chicken burger with special sauce, my partner had the cauliflower wings and asparagus. Followed by the dark choc cake ( to die for) Staff were friendly only thing that I didn't like was a staff member sweeping around us while we ate, but at least there clean Will visit again...

Everything was stunning. The staff were incredibly attentive and lovely, the food was delicious and the service was speedy! I assume it was busy as it was Valentine's but you wouldn't know by the service and quality. Will definitely visit again!!

Fantastic service and beautiful food. Highly recommended.

Be careful with allergies. They go out of their way to help but end up hindering and getting the order wrong.. 😥

Excellent atmosphere....perfect for a good night out ...meals are great

Lovely evening, exception food and even better service from Eleanor, mentioned it was our first night away since having little ones and she gave us 2 glasses of Prosecco!

A very nice ambience and great food. I and my wife had the three course menue with the main being steak. It was a great choice.

Lovely place, warm and welcoming, good service, staff were attentive and tried hard to please. Went in for lunch, the meal took quite a long time to arrive, I ordered the steak (which was quite expensive) and it was the worse steak I've ever had, the steak knife struggled to cut through it and it was as dry as sticks, ate less than half of it. After walking in to such a lovely place I was disappointed with the meal. That said, other meals being served at other tables looked really nice so maybe the steak was just a bad choice

Jonathan was fantastic with quick and effective service. Was the best experience i’ve had here even though it isn’t my first time. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. The king prawns go well with pinot noir

Been 3 times now and always excellent.

My stake was Little burn and cold but onion soup was amazing x partners happy . Happy valentines day x

I visited with some friends for a Galentines meal! It is one of our favourite places in York. Stunning decor, delicious food and lovely staff. Thank you to Jamal for being great and looking after us! We will definitely be back and look forward to trying the Manchester restaurant soon!

Food was great. I had the Smoked Haddock Scotch Egg to start and the Lamb as my main, with an array of tasty side dishes. Our server was attentive and friendly, checking in on us regularly without us feeling rushed. Went for a lunch service which was busy and had a lot of children, and contrasted the more refined atmosphere I experience when I went for dinner at the Leeds branch.

Great food ..excellent service.

We booked here based on the Trip Advisor reviews (it was the 2nd 'best' restaurant in York). We visited on a Thursday for an evening meal. The service was amazing, our main server was fantastic - really personable, polite, and conscientious. We couldn't fault them and left them the optional service charge which was £15, as they were well worth it. The atmosphere was nice, however it's a more lively and upbeat ambiance, you have to speak a little louder to hear one another's conversation - it felt a bit of a student scene too. The food and drink is what let it down. The bread basket with butters to start was lovely, but the steak was mediocre. We ordered a chateaubriand, and while it looked amazing (was cooked to perfection), the taste was bland. It lacked any depth of flavour, and not what we expected from a steak restaurant. The chips were ok (but we left them), and we ordered a side of pigs in blankets and were disappointed when three piggies came out on a bed of cabbage. The pint of Peroni was one of the worse pints we've had in a long time, and the mojito was very unbalanced, I didn't bother drinking it. The website states it's "Elegant dining, exceptional taste", but in our experience it wasn't quite that.

we came here for my friends birthday (it’s a usual spot for birthday meals for me and my friends) we were served by Jonathan who was incredibly attentive and very helpful checking in and making sure the meal was wonderful even helped us pick a bottle of wine, he was also super helpful when i asked if we could do something for my friends birthday and he put a candle in the pudding for us. will definitely be back

Great pre-theatre meal. Despite the early hour it was one of the busiest restaurants we passed, so booking advisable. Service was attentive. Lovely atmosphere. I had the fajitas which was a considerably larger portion than I’d anticipated! Beautifully presented. DH had the lamb which was delicious.

Best steak meal I've had in the UK. RibEye + Dauphinoise was 10/10

We went for dinner and drinks and were really pleased with the choice, service and atmosphere. The waiting staff were really friendly it was a great evening

Abigail served us and couldn’t have been any more attentive. She was really lovely and very helpful. Thanks so much!

Great food and great staff, well worth the meal

Food was nice although not a lot for your money.
