D'vine Restaurant and Social Bar

"Genuinely one of the best meals in my life. This was a special week away, otherwise I'd never think of eating at a restaurant like this but when I saw the set menu I was really surprised. I can't usually afford steak, and if i could it usually isn't great, but this was the best steak I've ever eaten and in the set menu, I got 3 courses for £20 (no extra charge for steak!). The starter was the mozerella flatbread which was basically just an entire pizza and absolutely delicious. Staff were friendly and service was so quick that we never had to sit long without anything. With york becoming such a tourist trap, and plenty of places charging so much money for below average food, this place really made me feel happy, especially for the price I paid for the meal. Thanks!"

"Absolutely good choice. We walked through York without any plans for early dinner and we stopped because from the wide opened windows there could be heard lovely Italian music. Nothing can be better than theme atmosphere filled by themed music in the background. Food was top class. We had pizza and seabass with gnocchi. Wine recommended from the wine list, absolutely gorgeous and worthy of the price. Lovely and helpful staff. We will be back for sure!0"

"The Pork Belly dish was superb - cooked (sous vide??) until the fat became a soft gelatinous layer, perfectly paired with an apple sauce. The kids menu dishes were also good. Many restaurants serve rubbish for their kids' meals. Not so for D'vine - the kids' hamburger was well-prepared and came topped with caramelised onions and cheese. The kids' bolognese was also delicious, with sauce that was competently cooked rather than from a cheap can. Service wise - impeccable. Prompt, efficient, courteous."

"In York on Saturday in early April. It was heaving and we were turned away from a few eating places as they were full. Stumbled over this little gem and gave it a try. We were shown to a window seat which was great for people watching and within 10 minutes our drinks order was taken. Drinks arrived quickly and a meal order was taken at that point. Literally 10 minutes later we had the food. Amazing speedy service. I had the nacho chicken pizza which was lovely, not too filling and came with three dips for the Nacho's. My partner had the 4 cheese pizza which she enjoyed. Restaurant is nicely decorated and relaxed. Try to get a window seat if possible and watch the world go by. Staff were friendly and chatty. Bill came to £56 for two pizza's and 4 pints of Peroni."
