went to this restaurant with my wife as a treat. bit pricey but a treat. had sirloin steak with horseradish croquette. mouthful of steak - lovely. mouthful of croquette - so hot it burnt the roof of my mouth, made my eyes water and made me hop up and down. mentioned to waiter that the meal had caused me pain.... more

To be fair of the four of us dining three had great food, the fourth member of our party ordered sirloin steak with French mustard. Wholegrain mustard offered with (when queried) no French available. the accompanying "black pudding and hollandaise sauce" was truly awful. But what really made this experience stand out was when we asked for the half of... more

Sadly we didn't get a booth, book in advance for a truly romantic evening. Loved the way the restaurant was decorated, but due to acoustics our evening was somewhat marred by an extremely loud and braying table who spent the evening talking about being blooded on a hunt and toasting their own brilliance at top volume. Menu is expensive starters... more

We shared a plate of 4 different desserts, all... more

My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant back in May this year and couldn't fault it. Noticing some of the less than favourble reviews late, we had to write about our experience here. From the gorgeous setting and overall look of this restaurant to the sublime food and great service, this is without doubt an amazing restaurant. Yes, it... more

We had a wonderful meal there recently - unusual food, beautifully served and a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Well worth the money, even though it is expensive. more

Having planned a special wedding anniversary meal, we chose the Blue Bicycle, York as we had it recommended through various sources. The only table that we could secure was at 6.30pm on a Saturday evening, although there did seem to be plenty of tables available. The service was excellent, efficient and attentive, the redeeming part of the establishment. However, the... more

I went to the blue bicycle with my wife for our anniversary, to start with the table for two was far too small with too many 'things' on it ie, 4 wine glasses, candle holder, etc, far too crowded. The chairs were very uncomfortable and then the food came. The best part of our dining experience that night was the... more

Although the surroundings are good and the staff friendly, the food is a real let down. I would have been prepared to pay the price if the food had been good - it wasn't; the menu and ingrediants sounded alot better than they tasted - in a word - BLAND. Three of us eat - nine different dishes - yet... more
