The Cut & Craft in York

Buisy restaurant good food with a varied menu pays to book as it is popular.

Lovely experience first time attending recently - chocolate block red wine is beautiful and the fillet steaks were cooked to perfection I would highly recommend it

Delicious dinner with carefully presented, well flavoured dishes. Each course had an element of something special and twists on classics such as the Smoked Haddock Scotch Egg. The service was attentive but not too quick giving lots of time to enjoy company. The decor was very chic with seating radiating from a center bar and views of the kitchen area. Would definitely recommend for a slightly more upscale treat or special occasion.

Best steak I've ever had, food is absolutely divine 😋

We had a fantastic time here and everything was perfect, we would definitely come here again! To eat I had the mushroom stater, highly recommend if you love truffle. Then I had the Caesar salad with a side of broccoli with chilis. Then to drink I had the mojito with a raspberry twist and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. My husband had rare T-Bone Steak and really enjoyed it, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Fantastic food, drinks and atmosphere, highly recommended.

Love this place! Such a nice atmosphere, feels like a fine dining experience but without the extortionate cost! The staff are very attentive & friendly and the food is fantastic. Definitely a must-visit restaurant in York.

We were not impressed with our weekend brunch. The portions were absolutely tiny for what you pay (I doubt I even had one slice of toast when put together) and the food was very bland (including watery eggs). The server I gave my feedback to was very nice however the manager lacked any customer service skills. In fact, the way he approached us was quite rude and not the correct way to handle the situation. I felt incredibly disappointed in our experience of this place, particularly when it was for a special occasion. I would not recommend visiting and will not return.

Stunning restaurant. Great location, food and service. Lovely atmosphere. Went for a birthday meal and was made to feel special with a card and birthday ice cream. Waitress was fab , food delicious and a really great dining experience.

Never had a bad steak from here, top class.

Very good food and service. Will go again!

Place looks nice but the food was terrible. Over cooked dried out. One to avoid

Just an average meal to be honest with drinks being expensive

The drinks and atmosphere and service were lovely, the food was okay

Beautiful food in beautiful surroundings. Service was excellent, would definitely visit again.

Great customer service everyone was very accommodating and polite. Food was amazing and the drinks tasted amazing too honestly would recommend.

The food was wonderful, great flavours, great variety of meats all cooked to perfection. The service was very charismatic and attentive, and the wait was good despite being very busy. The atmosphere is incredibly, very nicely done inside and you can see the chefs grill on open flames in the kitchen. And the wine menu is fantastic

We visited whilst on a trip to York, the food and service was outstanding! We've never been to a restaurant where the staff were so friendly and attentive, from the second we walked in the door we were greeted by the loveliest lady, the waiters and waitresses were all amazing! The food was absolutely beautiful, we couldn't fault it at all! The chef had a slight issue with one of our desserts so we had a bit of a wait for it, which was absolutely fine and gave us some extra time to try some more of the delicious cocktails, and again, the staff were absolutely amazing and kept checking in on us and couldn't apologise enough! The dessert was definitely worth the wait too! We highly recommend the restaurant and we can't wait to visit again when we're back in York!

Great spot for steak. The flat iron is pretty decent and fair value. Good service. Wines a bit dear but well chosen. Never had a bad meal. Would recommend.

Actually had a brilliant meal at Cut and Craft. The flat iron steak was cooked perfectly and the 24k desert was incredible. Only downside was that we were waiting 30 minutes to be seated even though we booked.

All round great place and good food. Be back for sure.

Fillet steak a bit pricey for the morsel they served up, 37 quid for a tiny blob of meat - prices shot through roof over last year or 2 but still a go to. Erdinger and peroni on tap!

honestly such a lovely experience - went on my own and it’s very miller and carter vibes - staff were very lovely and food was amazing. Only thing i would say is that my steak was a bit lukewarm but sauces were hot which made up for it. Service was so quick too! Nice cocktails and i’d definitely come back - very date night vibes

Food was fantastic, couldn’t fault it. However, service was absolutely shocking. Not one member of staff had a smile on their faces, talked down on us and the manager charged us for still water when we asked for tap. I said this was a mistake as we had asked for tap water to the original waitress, but she spoke over me and said her staff are flawless and wouldn’t make such an error. This added another £10 to our bill just for water to the table. It was such a shame as we had a fantastic day around York until this happened. I’ll be taking this further to file a complaint as we were spoke to disgustingly.

Food is average for the high price, you are told that if you're late you get charged £20 each person yet they were 15 minutes late getting us to the table and when I complained the staff treated us like they didn't care. Avoid as better for less!

Great find, delicious food relaxing atmosphere. Staff polite and friendly Great value for money.

Traveled into York especially to visit. Only to be turned away because my daughter is 9. They have an age 10 limit. Apparently it’s in there terms and conditions. I’m not sure what they think a 9yo is going to do to their restaurant. It’s good for places to rule themselves out of all future dining. In a city full of restaurants.

Best service ever- very attentive and personal service. Great ambience- waiting area with lamped tables, funky music, flaming grill and has a New York vibe about it. Whole sea bream was delicious. Only issue was my steak was overcooked- I asked for medium well, but it was served like charcoal. Also I found the steak a bit salty - suggest less salt and more mixed peppercorns

Great food but incredibly slow service for a Tuesday night

A really decent restaurant serving good food, and top top service. Make sure to book as it can get busy on Friday and Saturday as you would expect

We came here on a Friday lunchtime and managed to get a walk in table. The lunch menu is great value and the food is delicious! Our steaks were very nicely cooked and the cheesecake was delicious. The mocktails were gorgeous too. I'd definitely return!

Table for 10 for a birthday. 9 excellent dishes. Seabass, veggie lasagna, sirloin & rump steak with the rest flat iron. My flat iron was really chewy. Could not eat half of it. Informed the waitress who just said “really sorry about that” in such a fake tone with a fake smile. No offer for reduction or free pudding. Shame really as the rest really enjoyed their meals. (Couldn’t take a photo as the food was whipped way - no complaints of the service or staff other than this issue)

Apparently there’s a cut off point for children at 4:45 and 3 of the guests with the children was 10 minutes late but because the cut off point is 4:45 we got told we had to leave and find somewhere else, bearing mind we was celebrating my sisters graduation and had to be at the York minster for 6:15, so we got kicked out at 5pm and had to find another restaurant walking round York clueless to just be late for my sisters graduation. We also was ordering for the people being late so we would’ve been in the restaurant the same time if they was on time.

Definitely will return everything was just fantastic 👌🏼

Truly splendid time! A lovely, large range of food choices which all slap. The service is exceptional and you will definitely be seeing me here again.

Burger patties are absolutely disgusting. You go to a steak house and expect good quality beef... What you get is the lowest quality industry patty you can think of. Every bite contained a gristle. If you're into that, go for it... Other than that, go to your nearest McDonald's and you'll be getting better quality meat. (It's sad, but true...) They must assume their customers are stupid and pay for every food they put in front of them. It's an absolute disgrace to run a business, that is considered a steak house and expect your customers to eat the lowest quality industry meat you can think of. (I got to mention that staff was very friendly though☝🏼)

All round poor experience, Felt rushed and will not be going back.

Wow mega disappointed with this place steaks £35 each one you could not cut through and the other so over cooked it was horrible waiting on staff were like a lost ship in the night and the manageress well she had the customer service skills of doughnut Not her fault ours DO YOUR SELF A BIG FAVOUR AND EAT ELSEWHERE IN YORK THIS PLACE IS OVER PRICED AND VERY COMMERCIAL AND WANT YOUR MONEY END OF 🤢 Thanks for your Perfect PR reply But in fact it was your manageress who had the attitude when she arrives which rubbed everyone at our table up the wrong way trying to cover your self by saying it was me was a total fabrication looking at your other reviews I can see there is fair few people not happy but if your not willing to take this on board then good luck to you it’s not all about the customers fault have a read on your reviews I see you have removed your reply Wonder why Check trip advisor before going here it’s not just me

Good value for money. Great staff.

Ribeye steak was good. Partners sirloin could have been better, but was ok. Pricey for sides. Not the best streak restaurant I've been to, however, would go again.

Just had a wonderful birthday meal at cut and craft, York. Birthday card when we arrived, great service, didn't wait long for meals, atmosphere lively and fun. The bread and butter pudding was simply divine.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. we had the following all were great: Mac and cheese, grilled chicken Cesar salad, prawns in sauce, and for dessert we had bread pudding w peanut butter & chocolate. The waiter brought over hot water, honey and lemon for my husband who wasn’t feeling well.

Great experience and the food was amazing!

Wow, wow, wow! I honestly thought I’d had the best steak I’d ever had elsewhere, but this place beats it! The place is gorgeous. It’s a pleasure to eat surrounded by beautiful, modern decor. The service is excellent, the staff can’t do enough for you and they are extremely professional and polite. You can tell they have so much confidence that you’ll enjoy the food. We had two lots of garlic bread with cheese between four of us and that was more than adequate for us. For my main, I had the ribeye, bone marrow gravy and the potato tots - It melted in my mouth. It cost £30 just for the steak, then have to add the sauce which is about a fiver, then sides are from £5-£7. Had a bottle of the house red between two which is £26. A 10% service charge is added to every bill but the staff make you aware of it and offer to remove it if required. A must visit if in the area, and look forward to visiting the new Manchester one when it opens.

Awesome food awesome steaks awesome staff ❤️❤️

It was overpriced but a nice place. I will not be back, but I'm sure plenty will like it.

We came to the cut and craft to celebrate our anniversary. When we arrived, we were given a card saying happy anniversary, such a lovely thought ! We had the most delicious meal, the atmosphere was so warm & friendly. When we asked for the bill , they gave us the bill & free desert as it was our anniversary, again so thoughtful ! Couldn’t have had a better experience, thank you so much to the waitress that served us !! x

Wonderful attentive f.o.h staff, very clean establishment and very inviting decor. The food however was edible, but considering the rest of the establishment and staff, CHEF disappointed us on every level , food was lukewarm, extremely small portions (bland to say the least) for the prices . Management took our comments seriously, well done again all f.o.h . Unfortunately we will not be returning.

Food very expensive and staff not so nice and manager very rude and not helpful with someone that has a mental illness and atmosphere too noisy will not be eating here again and my advice if there is anyone with a disability give this place a wide birth

Awful place not a patch on Leeds didn't stop to eat thanks for ruining Sunday

Outstanding service from Pete today. The food was also outstanding. We will definitely be back if visiting York.

Quality food in highly sought-after dishes.

Visited this beautiful restaurant today and have to say it was amazing.Extremely professional staff. The food was delicious.The side portion sizes were large. The flat iron steaks were cooked to perfection.Highly recommended.

Great steak, good service, nice ambience

My husband and I celebrated our first Anniversary here. The food was incredible. Our waiter Bosco was wonderful. I had to change my shoes when I arrived and the front of house lady was welcoming and allowed me to store my bag behind the desk and gave us a complimentary cut & craft bag. They just went above and beyond for us. We will definitely be visiting again.

Excellent food on a busy race day. Service was excellent, very friendly and helpful. Value for money

Lovely food and amazing service.

Had a fantastic date night out here. very busy but well staffed with lovely tasting food 😋

Thanks Pete, nice haircut. The pork special is bloody amazing!

Excellent food and service, highly recommended.

Visited here based on a recommendation and we really couldn't fault this place, it was perfect! Great atmosphere, beautiful decor, friendly team and delicious food and drink!

I have mobility issues and the first person who led us to our table didn't seem particularly helpful in finding us a suitable place to sit, but we did sort ourselves out. However, when I needed the toilet and was initially horrified to see that they were up a flight of stairs a gentleman member of staff could not have been more helpful in ensuring that I led to the toilets on the same level. The food very good though and we had a lovely time there.

Went in on Friday 9th August. Doorman recommended the pork belly to start. Advised numerous staff of my severe shellfish allergy. To cut the long story short, there was a hiccup with the kitchen, but fortunately, I didn't eat it. Other than that, the food was excellent. We had fillet steak, dauphinoise potatoes, and asparagus. Staff apologised profusely, replaced my meal, and comp'd some drinks by way of apology. Everyone makes mistakes, and I'm a big believer that for the most part, what you do after a mistake leaves the lasting impression, not the mistake itself. Staff and management were brilliant, food was excellent, and I will definitely return. Loved that purple suit.

Disappointed, lovely restaurant, staff and atmosphere, unfortunately the meal didn't meet expectations, firstly I had the calamari which was very nice but came with plain mayonnaise which was a surprise, it would have made a big difference with a nice Aoli, i also had a fillet steak which was good, my wife had a sirloin unfortunately hers was very fatty and had a lot of gristle so wasn't able to eat it all, the truffle fries, usually my go to if on a menu wasn't good they used an excessive amount of truffle that completely overpowered everything, with a bill of over £150 I would expect a lot better.

Quickly seated,very friendly staff and excellent well cooked food.Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting York

The food is to die for. Steak and chips - but then some. Never fails to impress, always a delight.

Absolutely brilliant experience. The food was out standing, the service was brilliant and all the staff were so helpful and made us feel welcome. It was my birthday, and I was presented with a hand written card, and later in the evening, they brought out a dish of delicious ice cream, with chocolate straws and a candle. I can't sing their praises enough, definitely going back

We went yesterday to celebrate my daughter's 19th birthday...she was given a little birthday card ..what a lovely thing to do ..Absolutely great service...such friendly staff ...outstanding..and the food was lovely.

Food is good but not amazing in my opinion. Very expensive as well. Staff are friendly and attentive and the place is clean and tidy with a good vibe. You get a steak but then everything else is extra including the sauce which quickly racks up the bill. Steak was supposed to be rare but definitely medium rare. I wouldn't rush back. Also service charge is automatically added so be aware. Fish and vegetarian options are available. It is a chain restaurant and they always want you to buy more (up sell) but don't expect anything in return even if it is a special occasion. No gratis dessert or drink on the house here! (Unless you are a social media influencer, she got a free drink apparently!!) Go to a smaller family run establishment if you want a more personal touch and want to feel special and valued. Lots more places to eat in York, sadly not for me.

We booked last minute for our wedding anniversary as I’d spent days looking at places and menus, trying to find somewhere that suited us both with my dietary restrictions and his fussiness. We weren’t disappointed! We were given a warm welcome and a little card for our anniversary ❤️ The staff were so friendly and service was really quick, we had our food within 15 minutes!! I had the flat iron steak with the asparagus and spinach and OH MY WORD it was amazing! He had the fish and chips and he said it was incredible We were both so impressed, with everything! The decor and the atmosphere were beautiful The only downside for us was the music level, but that might be because we’re getting old, but maybe a little less bass would be good 🤣 Overall we would HIGHLY recommend The Cut & Craft York

Wonderful dining experience The food was perfect and the service excellent

Very nice place & good range of drinks

Very nice restaurant and food was amazing

Our first visit to cut and craft. We will definitely be back. The food was fabulous. A bit too much if anything Service was second to none. We would highly recommend. Thank you cut and craft. 💥👏👏👏👏

Took my Boys here. Hearty eaters. Nice startes and some good steaks. Only downside- Very pricey, more than down south!

Very warm welcome. Attentive, enthusiastic staff. Very modern, stylish, relaxed interior you instantly feel comfortable within. Lunch menu offers enough variety for a reasonable price (2 course or 3). Only slight complaint is that the steak sandwich was quite flavourless. Cocktails looked exciting, shame I was driving!

Very busy for graduation time, however the staff coped well. Good food and friendly service

Great service delicious steak. Will be returning.

Absolutely outstanding experience starting from food, drinks, service and decor! The signature fillet steaks are absolutely amazing and perfectly cooked! All sides were quite impressive too. Ohh and the drinks! They are another level! Staff is super friendly and attentive! Everything was just perfect and I’ll definitely be back for more!

Great atmosphere friendly staff lovely food 👍🥂🍾

They did go an extra mile for my partners birthday with a card and free desert. And enjoyed her food. Personally I felt that the flame grilled steak weren't great. I definitely prefer it cooked differently. one of the waiters I thought was a bit rude and felt like he was rushing us. and another kept sticking his thumb in our food when carrying it. so real mixed bag. personally I don't think I will go back. atmosphere was good.

Steak great service great celebrated in style. Only thing is offered bottle water at 4.95 and not tap and there was a optional service charge which we were not aware of so we also left a cash tip

The steak was delicious, the dessert was divine, drinks were good and service was friendly. The atmosphere is buzzing with a modern vibe and relatively loud music, creates a good ambiance. I rated it down a star because the person I was with is a craft beer lover and seemed disappointed that there wasn't more selection, but he did enjoy the beer he had!

Went for my husband’s birthday. Excellent service and food. They even gave him a birthday card.can definitely recommend it

The best steak I have ever had! Absolutely gorgeous place Well done to all definitely be back If only I could give more the 5 stars I would 👍

First time I've ever been for my sister's birthday & it was exceptional food & service will definitely book to go there again & do recommend for others to go too 😃

Ordered caeser salad. Very disappointed. Bowl of lettuce with dressing on and about 3 thin croutons for £13 a joke. Chicken paid extra and if you wanted bacon extra again . I've had much better . Very disappointing 😞

Thank you to all staff, especially Ronny. We struggled to get in as it was so busy but the front of house were able to secure us a table. I understand why you are so busy now we have eaten here. We had numerous staff check in us and make sure we were happy with our meal. lovely, efficient staff is an bonus for any business. Additionally we were super happy with our meal.

Lovely restaurant. My only problem was the background music. Not to my taste. Everything else was top-notch 👌

If you do like the beef steak, you should come to this restaurant. I recommend this one. The beef steak is delicious.

We entered at 16:30 on a Saturday and the place was full. By the time we left, we understood why. Surprisingly good food, cheerful service and reasonably priced.

We met up with family & our granddaughter for my wife birthday on Sunday 7th July. The staff were so welcoming and attentive, the food was very nice as were the surroundings. We would highly recommend the Cut & Craft.

Birthday dinner here on Friday night. Absolutely fantastic from entering to leaving. The food was amazing, drinks too. Ronny was our server and was spot on with everything, a credit to the restaurant. Will certainly be back.

Always incredible food and service, our lovely server Plifford was just the best, thank you for being amazing

Was my husbands 70th birthday. They gave him a birthday card, complementary beer and a happy birthday balloon on the table. Very impressed with how welcoming the staff were and the food came very quickly. The chicken fajitas and fish and chips were of exceptional quality. On the whole a really lovely evening. Would highly recommend.

We have made a visit for our anniversary and we have been beautifully spoiled ❤️. The venue is gorgeous, staff very professional, polite and helpful. Food was phenomenal 👌. Cooked and served in the best possible ways. I cannot find enough word to recommend this place more. Simply 10/10! We will definitely make another visit.

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Sirloin Steak with skin on fries, peppercorn sauce and a side of Mushrooms. Burger with pulled pork, fries and a side.of Mac and cheese (with truffle oil). Will definitely be returning on out next trip (better than Miller and Carter in our opinion).

I was recommended this restaurant and so had high hopes. Modern decor all fits really well, though the music was a little oppressive. The waiting staff are perfectly attentive always at hand to see to any need without them being intrusive. My steak was beautiful, rare fillet, melt in the mouth and the black sheep beer sticky toffee pudding was delicious. While the meal was really good, I felt it was a bit pricey for what it was, comparing other independent steak houses

Great food and service, you get what you pay for!

Brilliant staff that didn't judge as we were not dressed fancy, atmosphere and the signature steak is so so good.

The steaks were very nice, the burger looked very succulent. Very impressed however it isn't the best steak around in my opinion
