Reviews
My wife and I went for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The reviews were good so we had high hopes and we were certainly not disappointed! The food was superb setting small and the staff helpful and attentive. There is a choice of an eight course tasting menu or a three course meal. We opted for the latter, my wife had scallops to start and I had a tomato dish and we both followed with the lamb, then a white chocolate delice to finish. It was without doubt one of the nicest dining experiences we’ve had in a long time.
What a lovely little place tucked away in a cool little part of York. As per other reviews, the food and service were very good. Michelin star food without the pretentious air of needing to maintain a star! We had the three course menu (stuffed morel and the eel, then the cod and the lamb. Strawberries and the soufflé). In addition they start with 3 canapés, bread and some extra treats after dessert. Nothing to fault. Bill came to £220 for the 3-courses, a bottle of wine and tip.
This was our first visit to Meltons, following recommendation from friends who have been going for years. We had an early evening dinner before the theatre, so we were under a bit of time pressure. We had let the restaurant know at the time of booking and they did everything to accommodate an amazing meal within the hour we had available. Next time we visit, we will definitely allow longer and enjoy the full tasting menu, although the three course menu was really fantastic, and came with little surprise tasters too. It was great value at £80 per head. The staff were all very knowledgeable, friendly, efficient and knew the food and wine menus inside out. Really highly recommend.
This is the second time we have visited Melton’s and we were not disappointed. The food is excellent, so tasty and a lot of elements to the food. The restaurant is quite small but has a lovely atmosphere. Staff are so knowledgeable about the food but are very friendly and welcoming. This is not a stuffy restaurant at all. Everyone should try Melton’s, you will not be disappointed - we will definitely be back again next time in York.
Wow wow wow. Booked this dinner as a treat for my partner on his 30th celebration trip to York and it was the highlight! We didn’t want to eat some of the food for fear of it disappearing from the plate! Wine pairings took the tasting menu to the next tier. Being able to swap out any dishes from the tasting menu with the equivalent from the short menu allowed you to taste even more! Service was impeccable all night long. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys fine dining.
