The Riverside Cafe-Bar, City Screen Cinema in York

So I had the humour with a roti bread. The proportion of humour to bread was ridiculous. There was a massive plate of humous which was delicious by the way but 1 very small pitta like bread. When I asked for more bread I got charged another £2 which made the dish cost nearly £10.

We go here for the burger and finely cut fries. Must have had about 20 in the last year or so and never failed - delicious! Also partial to a large Laphroag here at fair prices for cinema members.

Went in for a,' fresh mint tea' as,advertised all over the cafe, got a cup of boiled water with mint leaves & a lemon for £3.15! I reckoned it would have cost about 2p for the small slice of lemon, mint leaves can be picked free!

Ordered noodles. It was terrible. Clumpy, dry, insipid, inedible. The Greek salad came with no dressing or herbs. My partner had a similarly dry and insipid kofta wrap.We used to eat here regularly and enjoyed our food but not today. Perhaps they have a new chef who should not be allowed anywhere near the kitchen.

We walked into a busy cafe with a real buzz, soon placed an order for drinks with a delightful person and took a seat outside on the balcony looking over the river. Coffees etc were soon with us as was a bowl of water for the dogs without any asking. We were only here for 40 mins,m but very impressed by the feel and service.

Wide range of meals available from small plates to large ones. Vegan friendly. I had plant chicken schnitzel sandwich with salad . Delicious 😋! Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Perfect on a sunny day

My experience this morning differs from the previous reviews. Seeing gluten free Buckwheat toast on the menu I thought I'd give it a try ...as a coeliac I'm always looking for great tasting bread. It really is great :-) and with that in mind I asked the staff for details of their supplier. Despite being busy the staff asked the kitchen and gave me the details of a local microbakery. It's great that this kind of business is supporting local suppliers but also providing great customer service. Thank you to the team on service this morning, you made my day!

Absolutely atrocious service from male member of bar staff with beard. Should be awarded the most unwelcoming bar in York. Teach the staff customer service, that would make a good start. Never ever visit again and would not recommend anyone to visit either

Incredibly rude service from one particular staff member, customers literally getting barked at for asking simple questions like can I sit out side made for a particularly unpleasant visit. Our drinks were practically thrown at us not to mention long purple frizzy hair worn down and almost touching the food on the plates. Safe to say we didn’t stay for lunch!

Visited here for brunch on Sunday. Hadn't been here for quite some time, but would highly recommend. The views along the river from the Terrace are quite something. Friendly and helpful service, and the food was extremely good too. Chose the granola with Greek yoghurt that was extremely tasty, and it also included a few pumpkin seeds, blueberries, raspberries and mint leaves that heightened the taste.

Food here is on form at the moment, we keep going back for the amazing hummus + flatbread, halloumi chips and salt and pepper squid. A cut above average for this kind of thing and reasonably priced, especially with member discount. Please keep up the good work!

Great menu and specials are good given I’m a frequent visitor.Really enjoy the food here and great when you get sat near the windows. Surprised to read negative reviews about the staff as I’ve always been served promptly and by friendly staff

My mum and I called into the Riverside cafe after going to see a screening of james bond .The staff couldn't have been more helpful.We only wanted an ordinary sandwich ..which was served up with extras .so a big thankyou from us .

We had a great late lunch, on a very busy day in York this was surprisingly quiet, unreservedly so! Absolutely delicious sandwiches, my falafel wrap was spot on.. Prompt service. Everything spotlessly clean. And right on the riverside so great views.

The riverside location in the sunshine is a winner every time. And it is open again for film lovers and those who want to enjoy a generous casual drink with some food and watch the boats and the ducks float past. All Covid precautions are in place. If you want to take a drink to the cinema you first have to ask for a table, you give your order, wait and then when your drinks arrive (as long as you have said you're going to a screen) you can take your drinks upstairs. Food menu looks good - choice of wines and beers excellent. Ambience - as everywhere a little lighter than before but that will change soon (one hopes). Excellent that they are back and as good as ever!

Delicious coffee and cake, some of which was gluten free. Lovely views over the river. Highly recommend this place.

Popped in for brunch and enjoyed a vegan breakfast bun. Great menu to choose from and lovely sitting with a view of the window. Staff very friendly and helpful

I visit this place twice a year and I love it. Attractive setting, nice prices, friendly staff and comfortable seating. I've been before and will be back - thank you for your high standards!

Had tea here last night with two friends Nice atmosphere and lovely window table over looking the riverGood choices on the menu including vegan options or items that can be adapted to be veganSome staff are not the most attentive for example I stood at the bar waiting to be served whilst the member of staff behind the bar carried on tidying up and ignored me until another member of staff came behind the bar and served meI fancied a glass of wine with my vegan flatbread but the staff had no knowledge of which if any of the wines were vegan and one looked totally stunned I was even asking Any restaurant that offers vegan food should also know the ingredients of their drinks and ensure that at least one wine is vegan and the staff know this. Running Duck is a popular choice for a lot of the places I visit, they do red white and rose and are organic and fair trade.All in all... the food and location are nice but the drinks and service could be improved

From 10.30 in the morning this place always seems alive. Whether you are going to see a film or not, it has a great offering of drinks, coffees and snacks and light meals. If you are amber you get discount on this (and on entry to the screens). There is relatively large space inside with another dozen tables o the riverside terrace - ideal for a warm sunny day. Reservations are not possible and this place can get busy but remember many people will disappear shortly for that latest film they want to see so waiting a little bit can be rewarding. Food is very good - service is via the bar, food brought to the table.

Lovely special place in York tucked away behind a church on the river and central between Lendal and Ouse bridges. Really friendly staff, knowledgeable about the films too. Lovely views and light when it rains and outdoor seating to enjoy sunny evenings.

Tuve la desgracia de comer en el café Riverside antes de ver una película anoche. Es una pena que el café esté bien ubicado y sea conveniente para el cine, pero la comida era prácticamente incomible. Las patatas fritas estaban grasientas y empapadas y la sopa estaba demasiado especiada y tengo un paladar muy fuerte. Uno de los tipos detrás del bar era un lugar grosero y horrible.

Tenemos papas fritas y sopa. Las patatas fritas estaban empapadas y grasientas y la sopa tenía un sabor "tirón" que sabía que acababan de agregar pimienta de cayena. Hacía demasiado calor (y me gusta la comida picante) pero sin sabor y en polvo. No pudimos comer la comida y le dijimos a la camarera que las patatas fritas eran horribles y grasientas. Ella dijo "Lo sé"! . Escribí al día siguiente y me quejé ya que tuvimos que pagar por adelantado y el chef respondió y me dijo que estaba equivocado y que la comida era buena. Absolutamente terrible servicio al cliente. Y para agregar insulto a la lesión, se equivocó mi nombre en su respuesta.Es una excelente ubicación y un cine encantador, así que es una pena que la comida y el servicio en el café sea tan malo.

Gracias, básicamente, viajar desde Edimburgo para venir aquí. De Verdad. La ubicación es fenomenal, me siento y trabajo mientras veo pasar el Mundo (y los York Boats).Los precios son buenos y la comida nunca deja de "llegar al lugar".Mi agradecimiento al personal, son amables y acogedores, incluso cuando el lugar está ocupado.

Nos acercamos al bar antes de nuestra película y pudimos pedir nuestras bebidas en un vaso de plástico, así que pudimos llevarlas a la proyección con nosotros.El personal era encantador y amable, lo único que encontré fue que los precios de las bebidas alquolólicas eran un poco caros. , Sé que es el centro de la ciudad pero aún así!

Vinimos por un postre y una bebida. Considero que los postres son extremadamente enfermos, incluso para nosotros con un gusto por lo dulce, pero eso es solo un gusto personal. Dos miembros del personal estaban sirviendo, esperamos un rato antes de que nos sirvieran y luego nuestro servidor nos trató como si fuéramos estúpidos.

Lots of people eating and drinking here considering it is the cinema cafe bar. Beside the river, there is outside seating, but a little expensive.

Llamamos aquí para tomar un café y comer algo. Preciosas vistas sobre el río Ouse. Buenos asientos cómodos con servicio. Tomamos un bistec con cebolla caramelizada y ensalada en un panecillo. Este era un bocadillo muy sabroso y volvería a pedirlo si volviera a visitarlo.

Asistió a este establecimiento en los últimos 30 minutos. Cuando me acerqué al mostrador, un miembro del personal me miró y se alejó. Esto dejó a otros miembros del equipo limpiando la encimera, ninguno de los cuales me prestó atención. Dos miembros más del personal, no con uniformes sino con insignias de personal, estaban detrás de la barra y todavía no me servían. Mientras tanto se acercaban otros clientes. Debido a la mera ignorancia del personal, una vez que los molestaron, comenzaron a servir, no a los que habían estado allí, sino a un punto de partida aleatorio. Un completo desconocimiento de los clientes y, en general, increíblemente grosero. Si fuera un bar, nadie lo aceptaría. No volveré a visitar y alentaré a mis amigos, familiares y colegas a que tampoco lo hagan.

'eros' se supone que es 'el mejor té orgánico', sí muy débil. Supongo que necesitarías varias bolsas de té juntas con mucha agitación antes de obtener una buena cerveza. Stick to Yorkshire Tea - servido en un café diferente.

We called in for a coffee and a sit down. The cafe bar is in a great location and the view of the river is splendid. I wish I could have stayed longer. Disabled toilet downstairs via lift was not accessible. Which is a shame.

1. I asked for a good cup of tea, (I even requested two tea bags in the small pot); what I received was an extremely weak pot of tea. I thoroughly stirred and pressed the one tea bag that was put in the pot. Later I discovered it was a weaker than weak 'organic' tea. It wasn't a herbal tea!

The balcony overlooking the Ouse offers a superb position to enjoy a sunny hour or two in central York. This is a smart and deservedly popular meeting place with a limited range of food and both hot and cold drinks on offer. Very comfortable.

¿Qué pasó con City Screen? Solía ​​ser uno de mis lugares favoritos en York para tomar café y / o comida, pero en los últimos meses ha tomado un verdadero rumbo. Cambios constantes en el personal (siempre una preocupación) que no muestran entusiasmo por servir, mesas muy sucias y una sensación general de "no les importa"

I absolutely love this place. I like it in the winter months but LOVE it in the summer ones. I come from Edinburgh to York mainly so I can sit outside at this bar and work on the projects I have lined up for my business. Staff are lovely (big thanks to Jo especially), the prices are good and the food (fish and chips on two days running last week) was superb, and really well priced.

We visited the Riverside Café Bar for a relaxing afternoon drink, on our way back to the hotel.

Although there are complaints on here about service and table cleaning this is not my experience. It obviously gets busy just before a big screening but then quietens off and the staff catch up a bit. Good selection of beers, coffees and food. Pleasant outlook and one of the main place for York people to meet their friends.

A nice selection of wine, unfortunately they’d ran out of many cake options after lunch. A reasonable bar for a drink with a friend.

Sandwiched between two winebars that can be busy, it's easy to think this will be a similar type. It's not. It's a real gem whether for a coffee, cake, wine or lunch. Clean, good service and friendly. Don't miss it. If you like cinnamon toast be prepared for the huge plateful.

Met up with an ex colleague for a catch up and found this place to be great, atmosphere was very relaxed and diverse. Staff were very attentive whilst being relaxed and the coffee/tea and cakes were very good. Couldn’t really ask for anything else for what we wanted I.e. somewhere to have a catch up. Oh and they also offer free water!

We thought we’d relax and eat/drink at this riverside location but as soon as we’d finished our food and drink (literally after the fork was out of my mouth) a female member of staff came to clear the table and said “are you planning on having anything else? We get really busy, you see”

Fuimos a cenar antes de ir al cine. Tenía el estofado de alubias con cuscús, mantequilla era mediocre, por decir lo menos. Parecía que el estofado salió de un cuscús y el pegado juntos y duro. También me dieron dos costras duras de pan para ir junto con él. Nunca más, pérdida de dinero

Found a table. 25 minutes later a surly member of staff eventually cleared some of the mess left from the previous users. 'we're busy' was all she stated. Charming.

Ordered food and all our drinks were finished by the time the food arrived. The pancakes were biscuits and 1 meal was replaced 3 times and still not correct. To be fair they did refund 50% of the bill . Terribly slow pace and over priced

Estoy en el club. Me dan 10% de descuento en todo, incluyendo el restaurante y el bar.

Not eaten hear for along time. Was impressed with the veggie choices on the menu and the prices reasonable for such a great riverside setting. On the whole the food was hot, tasty and reasonably priced, but I think the burger, wrap and chilli could all do with stronger flavouring and more seasoning.

My son and I came for a quick lunch before attending a concert at St Martins. Really friendly and helpful staff. After I'd ordered and paid I saw the 'special' and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful changing my order.

I only go for breakfast when it's not busy the Salmon and scrambled eggs on toast it so nice a huge portion for me that I never finished it the bacon butties are very nice too it's so relaxing on a sunny day you can sit on the balcony overlooking the river

Went for a quick lunch, ordered a Pizza to share, the guy behind the Bar was very pleasant and recommended a wine to go with it , which was a good choice. We were served within a reasonable amount of time. The Pizza was okay, the base a bit rubbery and could have done with been cooked a few more minutes but it was edible and okay. We did notice a lot of women feeding babies, maybe it was their movie day, then odd people just wandering in eating a sandwich from somewhere else just sitting down in prime seats without ordering any thing. The girl at the back sitting at a table for three, her coffee long ago cleared away, then the waiter goes to sit and chat with her endorsing that its okay to sit there without buying anything. There used to be a non smoking policy on the terrace, NO SMOKING until after 9pm that's obviously all changed as I noticed a couple out there smoking and of course as soon as the door is opened we all get a whiff of it too. This whole place needs redesigning to accommodate the customer the people who use this place to go see a movie or to socialize instead you walk into a blank space, then the counter for buying stuff and some uninterested girl waiting to sell you a movie ticket, you can buy the tickets at the bar so why not redesign the whole place more seating with the bar/movie sales wrapping around to the dead area in the entrance, open it all up.....make the customer experience really work. Put an open Pizza oven area in even......THIS PLACE is crying out for CREATIVITY in so many areas. It needs to up the ANTE big time, there is in YORK so much choice of a lot of very excellence places to eat, drink and enjoy.....City Screen is falling of that list.

Este es un lugar encantador para sentarse y disfrutar de un snack y unas copas, mirando los barcos subiendo y bajando por el río. Buena comida servicio amable y agradable fresco.

Ahora no quiero volver como enormemente delicado cuando se trata de comida, pero me quedé muy decepcionado con la selección aquí. Vimos el nuevos episodios Peppa pig en el cine, a los niños les encantó, obviamente la tortura para mi marido y para mí. Pantalla de cine 2 muy cómodos asientos. Problema era que el espectáculo era más de mediodía, pensamos, le pero algo de la cafetería para que tome. Bar la delicia de comida, la elección fue un atún, mayonesa o mayonesa pollo sandwich. No podía creer la falta de elección. Uno odio mayonesa, dos embarazadas estoy fuertemente y mayonesa es generalmente no ve la comida. Que se acercaron al Starbucks y compramos unos sandwiches para todos nosotros. Hubiera preferido que el café cine, apoyo pero con tales opciones limitadas que no tenía elección.

Un gran lugar para ver una película y disfrutar de una bebida, el ambiente es fantástico! Era la primera vez que nos habíamos comido sus y era tan buena. Tuve la envoltura holumi aubagine y que era muy sabroso, aunque estoy de acuerdo en que sería mejor sin mantequilla, pero eso es gusto personal. Mi pareja tuvo el cuscús y mantequilla estofado de alubias, que era muy sabroso. En general, este es un lugar fantástico para pasar una buena noche, película, bebida, comida y ambiente, no puedo esperar a volver.

Visited while on a short break in York. Comfortable seating, reasonably priced. Loos in basement so a couple of floors down from cinema so make sure you go before the film starts!

City screen is a great cinema situated by the river in York. On the ground floor is an open cafe and bar which serves a decent selection of food and drinks including beer and wine.The cafe also opens out to the outside overlooking the river. The food is good and locally sourced and nicely presented. Prices are not cheap but not ridiculous either. A great option for cinema and meal trip

Ive called in for a drink or cake and coffee many times and its pleasant location always make it a nice treat. This week we decided to eat here but I wasnt impressed. I had aubergine and halloumi wrap which had butter/marg inside (which melted & dripped everywhere), made the whole thing too greasy to eat and with cheese inside not sure why would need to add this? My boys had the fish finger sarnies which also had butter on the bread (yuk). Is this a Yorkshire thing. Leave it out I would say. Shame as I was looking forward to it. Lovely staff tho who always appear friendly and helpful

Nice for a drink, but seriously, £5 for a 125ml glass of red is pretty eye-watering. I only ever visit if I'm going to the cinema.

We had a quick dinner before a jazz concert. I had the fish and chips. The fish was very good, not greasy, nice and flaky and with good batter. The chips were a little floury. Big portion, couldn't face having a cake after that! Not cheap, but convenient in good atmosphere.

First time in a long time I went to the bar for a few drinks after work. Great selection, lovely staff, good ebb and flow of people as various films finished and started. The bar has a wonderful view of the river and twinkling lights from across the way. Have eaten here many times always good, good and better than most for vegetarians. Staff never seem to age here and they an asset in an ever changing world, they deal with almost all demands made of them. Many have been there for the ten years I have been going to this brilliant art house cinema. Cheers.

Excellent atmosphere - just a nice place to be. we have joined the membership of cinema due to being able to relax and have a meal and drink and relax before watching a movie. I just enjoy being in a place where there is a great atmosphere with lots of like minded people

The food was lovely, but the whole experience was ruined by people coming in and encroaching on the dining area waiting for people to come up/downstairs.You don't want some random stranger stood right behind you or next to you as you eat.They should corner the area off or make people wait outside or near the entrance.I've never seen loads of people come and wait for people to come of a cinema either!!

Had a curry here. Very nice. Tasted like one I'd make at home rather than one in an India restaurant and just what I wanted. Nicely presented too. Quite a few vegetarian choices on the menu and a mix of healthy and less healthy options. Good view over the river too and I think you can go just for a drink. Friendly staff

A small menu means quite prompt service and the food and drinks were fine and we would certainly come here again especially if we're coming for a film.

This restruant is such a blessing for just a small meal before the afternoon show. The menu does change for different season - so there is always something good to eat. We have enjoyed this opportunity and also met some great people.

We had a pre-film drink in here, the place was buzzing. Drinks are expensive for your £6 for a glass of wine and over £4 for a pint of real ale, but apparently it was 'kept well' so thumbs up from hubby.Bonus is you can take a plastic glass of real ale into the film with you.

Called in to see a film because the weather was bad. It was really busy and so nice to see somewhere like this being so widely used. Something for all ages - babies attending mum & toddlers group to the more older person meeting friends for lunch. Great location too with views of the river. Stayed for a coffee after the film to soak up the vibe - lovely. Well done

Haven't been here for a while and visited mid week with 2 colleagues for a quick coffee on the terrace. When we walked in circa 16:30 it was busy but not over busy and we were soon served and took a seat on the terrace overlooking the river.Service was excellent as was the quality of the coffee.

I visited york for 5 days had a wonderful time in a beautiful city. York has some fantastic sights to visit. I had the pleasure of visiting the city screen cinema and café to see a film I found the venue to he very nice and spacious and a lovely intimate venue to see a film definitely worth a visit......

Arrived in York for a work trip, via a delayed train. Raced to get to The Riverside Cafe at City Screen to meet friends before the kitchen closed at 9pm (on a Friday night). Made it for 8.55pm to be told the kitchen had already shut. The chef would do chips -maybe easy to re-heat from my friends' dinner order - but no other food. Such a shame, I've seen many films at City Screen over the years and have been keen to support it. But the bar/ restaurant staff showed this evening what they think of their customers.

This bar is situated on the bank of the River Ouse and has an outdoor balcony for alfresco dining with a wall of sliding glass to sit inside and enjoy the view on less clement days.The food is freshly cooked and worth the short wait whilst it is being prepared, but they do have three real ales to choose from to occupy your time. There are sofas as well as barstools and table and chairs to select your favoured dining experience. You can sit and chat the day long and you'll not be asked to move on. The place is a haven from the city shopping.

The bonus here is that you can eat before or after the film. The menu is varied and good for vegetarians. The portions are just the right size as an accessory to another activity. They are served speedily so no problems if you're tight on time, The dishes we ate were tasty as they have always been. They are matched to beers, of which there is a good range. Good views across the river and the last night we were there there was a glorious sunset.

The movie theatre has a full restaurant with outdoor and indoor seating, on the banks of the River Ouse. It is unpretentious, food is good pub quality, beer is cold. Wind screens fitted to the railings made it nice even though the weather was a bit cool.

We stopped here for drinks & snacks on a sunny day, and sat out on the riverside terrace. This is a great place for a relaxed chat, with fabulous city views and great ambiance.

Popped in for a coffee and a cake with friends on a Saturday afternoon. The service was slow but the staff were friendly and the view from the sun-drenched riverside balcony was so enjoyable that we had another! A very pleasant visit.

We eat there today and once we found a table, we sat down hoping it would be cleared at some point soon, it was full of the last peoples food and drink. No one cleared away the left over food or half empty drinks until they served our food some 30 mins later.I had the chicken and it was awful. When I cut into the chicken it just poured out water. My daughter had the beef chill and it was also very poor.Not one I would recommend as they just seemed unable to cope with a Saturday service. Nothing exceptional in our eyes..

We are slightly biased about this place as this is where my partner and I first met (now 5 years later, so they must have done something right!) Good coffee / tea and nice atmosphere, with the music not too loud. Friendly staff. Superb river views from the balcony. A nice place for a relaxing drink and chat. Cannot comment on the food as yet as have only had drinks.The cinema itself is one of the best in the city in our opinion, and better than the major chains. Its nice to sit and have a drink before going to the pictures.All in all, we can recommend.

Weekend in York, decided to go to the cinema one evening. Although slightly more expensive than the standard cinema chains, it's definitely worth paying slightly above the odds for a more exclusive experience. Would definitely recommend a visit here. The food here was excellent. Both vegetarian mains were yummy, the veggie chilli that came with the nachos was absolutely delicious. Drinks menu is extensive. You can take your drinks into the cinema although they need to be served/decanted into plastic cups. The cinemas themselves are much smaller than perhaps you are used to although we felt this added to the occasion as there was a great atmosphere in the room making the movie more enjoyable. All told we prefer the smaller cinema experience but how about some armchairs and sofas in there and allow you to take food in with you to make it a perfect experience?

I was disappointed in the tea and cake I was served. The cake was a stingy slice and a bit dry.for some reason even though they served it on a perfectly good plate they put a napkin under the cake. I hate that. For a start it's not hygienic, it would have stuck to the cake if it had any moisture in it and it looks ugly. The tea was ok but I would have preferred Yorkshire tea. My wife's Spanish eggs were pretty good so this made up for the disappointing tea and cake.

Sat and enjoyed a ginger beer and some light nibbles out on the sunny terrace while waiting to go see a Studio Ghibli film here. Amazing setting, good screens and friendly atmosphere.

A regular stopping off point for me after in-town meetings as the beer is good, the staff are lovely and the pork pies are to die for. Ive also attended many a corporate booking here and found the service and grup to be excellent. Certainly not just for pre / post cinema drinks, it's a great bar with a riverside view and terrace and a changing wallscape of local art. Highly recommended.

Came in for food and a drink, no staff member acknowledges you as you come in so you find your own seat and go to the bar. Whilst I was stood at the bar waiting they served someone else before me even though I was waiting longer, there was 2 female staff members behind the bar that discussed their personal life and also swore in front of customers. Whilst I was making my order she complained about the till and didn't tell me how long I'd wait just handed me my change although I heard the other one tell someone in front that it took around 25 minutes to cook the burgers. I got a number and sat down. After 40 minutes I went in to ask about it and the woman that served me ignored meFor a while then looked at me,I said I was still waiting for my food and she asked what id ordered looked confused then said she'd come out to speak to me. The manager then came out and explained that the order had been lost getting to the kitchen and was ordered incorrectly. She was really nice and obviously embarrassed so offered free drinks a refund or to reorder. We asked for a refund and declined the free drinks. She came and gave us a full refund and drinks vouchers which was nice of her. I think she needs to train the front service staff as they clearly don't really care about their job or the poor service they offer!

This is the one place in York I can trust, that when I go see a film, want to have a drink, have something to eat, I can do so in peace.The staff create a wonderful atmosphere, are knowledgeable, kind & very professional!

I liked the set - up although it was just a call to pick up a hot chocolate to take into the cinema. Exposed brickwork, exposed metalwork, great floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Ouse. Somewhere I expect to return to soon.

Me encanto este lugar, sentarse a orillas del río, sobre todo en la noche, ver reflejados las luces. A pesar del frío es muy cálido

I'm amazed by the possitive comments about this bar. The staff are frankly scruffy, the red house wine expensive for stuff of poor quality - Wetherspoons serve better, the coffee far from good. It's newish decor has brought it struggling into the1960s.Disappointing for what could be an excellent venue when visiting the cinema.

I love making time to visit the cafe usually for lunch. If the sun is shining the place is bathed in a light that warms the room. The fish finger sandwich is a good choice but on my last visit the burger choice was mouth watering. The coffee is always good but if you fancy something stronger a good selection of lager and wine will complement your meal perfectly.

Absolutely love this place, spent a lazy wednesday afternoon by the river relaxing and enjoying the view over the river. We ordered sandwiches and soup which I must say were the best we have had eating out in a while. Everything was home-made including the warm crusty delicious bread and the tasty broccoli and Stilton soup. Nothing was microwaved or frozen and cooked to order. Would definitely reccomend.

Really good place for a bit to eat and/or a coffee before a film. Relaxed, informal with good choice and very reasonable price. Worth visiting even if you're not going to see a film.Can get busy at the weekend, but then good places tend to do so.

A brilliant location overlooking the river, eat inside or sit on the terrace. The chunky skin on chips are delicious with mayo, we had sides of spicey nuts, olives and calamari to share. Good lively atmosphere, cinema adjoining, can also have a drink on bar stools. Good helpful service.

A reliably good source of nice food, a wide range of nice drinks and a relaxing setting. A pleasant oasis away from the madness of the city centre, a good place to meet, a nice place to sit with a book overlooking the river, or a good spot for a drink before a film - this place can be many things depending on your mood. I look forward to going back

Ideal as a meeting place or for drinks and a bite to eat before viewing a film. The café-bar overlooks the River Ouse and there is seating outside on a patio right beside the river. Good selection of food and drinks, and a very relaxing atmosphere.

Go here a lot, the chips with bacon and cheese are amazing, would recommend. Food is fast, staff are friendly and good vibe

Great location on the river , great food , chunky chips nice too preferred the older decor with the leather sofas the new grey furniture and refurb has resulted in a starker atmosphere

The food is too good here and the beer is nice... service is good and the location is brilliant...! Perfect for a nice evening and could go to the cinema too... :)

I would recommend this place ,Good food chips are the best , brilliant location, the only down side is toilets are downstairs but then again that could be a plus as you won't be Sat near the toilets ,

The location here is great and with sweating varying from traditional table/chair to sofas. What I particulalry liked was the total flexibility in terms of what you eat at what time of day. This place can morph into whatever you want it to be e.g. Coffee and cake, light lunch nibbles, more substantial food, wine bar. We met for tea, moved onto wine and topped up with tasty and substantial nibbles. Service was excellent.

Had a wonderful chat with a friend right there on the river with a nice view. Very ince in Spring with the flowers blooming.

We went to a film here. Staff were very helpful and cheerful so we went back for coffee and another day for lunch. There are lovely views of the river, comfortable seating and reasonably priced menu.Wish our cinema was as good.

We went here for breakfast on Sunday, before attending midday screening, and were very impressed. It was easy to get a table with a lovely view over the river. The food we ordered was beautifully cooked and generous portions. A tasty and relaxing breakfast.

We went to this cinema while staying in York for the weekend. It is a lovely small friendly place. We had drinks before the movie in the cafe with lovely river views.

As usual, an easy place to go for a rest on a busy day. Child friendly, easily accessible & comfy. Good food & drinks, easy snacks & ideal for group situations.
