We haven't been here for a while and the food was lovely The service was ok but there was not a single smile from the service staff, I understand the language barriers but throughout the world everyone knows what a smile is and the difference it makes.
As we pay for a service and good food I expect a better attitude so it does put me off returning and to be honest the place was empty which was unusual in the past.

A rollercoaster of a review here … lived in York 10 years and heard people rave about Viceroy. I’ve tried it a few times and didn’t think much tbh. Not the most exciting menu either … quite basic curries I thought. However, I tried it again tonight and finally, a really good curry! Not sure if I’ve just been unlucky before or what. Only let down this time was missing starter and the Bajis aren’t that great. So I’m back in limbo tbh, definitely going to try again as the curries were nice but another let down of any sort, I’ll probably put them back on the back burner haha.
Source saved an almost ruined birthday. We visited York for my birthday and the hotel we were staying at really messed up and there was nowhere local to eat! We had to make last minute plans on a Saturday night so we were so worried. We rang up Source and asked if we could squeeze in and they were so attentive and got us booked in.
On arrival they made sure the seating was ok for us and it was such a lovely atmopshere, and the food was amazing. It was so good that we returned in the morning for breakfast!
Easy to book on line Reasonable waiting time. Nice atmosphere Great food. Our table had three different choices - duck, beef and trout. All of which were beautifully cooked Lovely staff who were cheerful helpful and attentive. Would recommend.
Después de haber estado aquí muchas veces y disfrutado de la comida pensé en llevar a mi hermana allí para un regalo de cumpleaños. El restaurante estaba ocupado y nos colocamos al lado de la ventana me quité el abrigo, pero hacía mucho frío y me lo puse de nuevo y noté que casi todos en el restaurante tenían sus abrigos de invierno puestos. Le pedí al camarero que encendiera el radiador independiente pero no funcionó. Así que me pidieron que me alejaran de la ventana. Todavía hacía frío.
Pedimos medu vada con sambar. Las vadas estaban muy duras con lentejas desagradablemente arenosas que claramente no se habían remojado durante el tiempo suficiente antes de cocinar, el sambar que lo acompañaba era muy bueno. El tiki de salmón era una porción diminuta que había sido cocinada en exceso y la piel incinerada: no era agradable en absoluto. Las masalas dosas eran flácidas y no crujientes. El servicio fue muy lento. En conjunto una noche muy decepcionante y ciertamente no volveré.
Unfortunately did not have a great experience here due to mistakes that could have been avoided, we booked a table for a work celebration there was about 20 of us, we preordered based off the menu online. I had preordered penne marinara from their online menu, as I am from England I understood that this was just a tomato pasta sauce, and there is nothing on their online menu to suggest marinara is seafood, however I received a penne pasta with tomato sauce and seafood. My sister is allergic to seafood and I don’t eat it to keep her safe. I told them I didn’t order seafood penne, he became angry and shouted at me that I did, I asked to see the menu when he showed me, that’s when we all realised their online menu is different to the one in the restaurant, he brought me a menu to say marinara is seafood, but this is not mentioned on the online menu we used when we preordered, and unfortunately being English and not being Italian, marinara in England is just tomato garlic sauce not seafood like it is in Italy, my fault for not knowing marinara means seafood in Italian but the manager or owner who was serving us just began shouting at me. A female waitress apologised and moved him away from me and brought me just a tomato penne pasta said sorry again and understood what had happened and fixed the issue without an issue, clearly a mistake on both parts. After I’d eaten it the angry manager came over and asked me how my seafood pasta was sarcastically. 3 or 4 of us preordered the online menu tomato garlic bread to start, and one of us ordered a tomato garlic bread for their main. But when it arrived in the restaurant it was a plain garlic pizza bread, as their menu in their restaurant is different to the one online and doesn’t include tomato. Also despite pre ordering two of the starters were missing and had to be chased up 10 mins or so after we had all eaten our starters and the same happened again for our mains, two were missing and a side of chips which we had to chase up. We spent about £582 and just didn’t feel we had a good experience despite pre ordering and we even brought our pre order on a document with us to make sure we were organised when we got there. Food was excellent however and we had a good time. Just a shame to be shouted at in a restaurant by the manager at what clearly was a genuine mistake, as I don’t speak Italian.
Entramos en Osbornes en nuestro camino a York para un desayuno tardío con amigos y estaba muy impresionado con el lugar. Todos disfrutamos de nuestros cafés y un par de nosotros tuvimos algunas de las bebidas especiales también, que fue un buen toque. Lo suficientemente afortunado como para sentarse en su jardín a comer, lo cual fue una agradable sorpresa, no pensé que era demasiado caro tampoco, me encantaría volver en nuestra próxima visita. Salud.
What a fantastic independent venue. The Reuben was good, the coffee great quality and the staff super friendly. Exactly what British business should be.
