Loch Fyne Restaurant and Bar

Well done, Loch Fyne York, worthy of a great review! This was our first visit to Loch Fyne in York; we were really pleased with everything, and the restaurant is a top example of this brand. We booked in advance via the Web as it was Mothering Sunday, so we expected it to be busy. We arrived when it first opened at lunchtime, and It was quiet at first, but quickly filled up; I'm not sure if this is common for weekends, but it's worth checking. The service was good despite the restaurant getting very busy, and they only appeared to have a couple of servers, who very quickly became almost overwhelmed but managed to keep diners happy. We had mainly seafood and all dishes were cooked to almost perfection [check out my photos] and some of the best fish dishes I have experienced, we had a couple of specials and a burger for our mains, after some lovely fresh oysters to start. There was a good selection of deserts to finish the meal off well, and even my specific coffee request was handled well. The prices are a fair reflection of the quality overall, top-class food, nice ambience, and knowledgeable happy servers. Certainly worth a visit, it's not far from the centre of York, but just enough distance from the really busy parts.

A generally three star experience, the oysters were fantastic and fresh which saved it from being a 2.5 star, the rest of the food was ok. Because it was a seafood place I imagined there would be some inventive and unique fish dishes but there weren't really. The fish soup didn't seem to have any fish in it, and the superior salad was just rice, avocado, pomegranate & pea shoots with no other substance. I also didn't get given a soup spoon with my soup, I have to ask for one which was disappointing. Overall underwhelming.

This restaurant is top quality. The food was outstanding, the best we’ve had in a long time and it was a gorgeous treat for me and my mum. We were served by General manager Katie and Daniel assistant manager and their service was the cherry on top of the day, they were wonderful. I really could not fault any part of our visit and will be quick to return! Thank you so much x

Went here for our anniversary dinner - everything was so perfect. Clearly the experts at cooking fish as we were so very impressed with everything that we had. Pic attached of the platter. Highly recommend the King Prawn Linguine as well! I am lactose intolerant and found the website very easy to navigate to figure out what I could have.
