The Rise Restaurant Station Rise, York YO1 6GD

"A wonderful meal— very welcoming atmosphere and each dish we ordered was excellent and crafted with care. Of note was the Milk and Honey dessert: none of us had ever tasted anything like it before so it was a special revelation."

"I had seen some mixed reviews before coming, which made me slightly apprehensive. However, I have to say I was impressed. The service was attentive and friendly, the food plentiful and tasty, and the restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere with a nice ambience. I enjoyed watching the chefs work in the open kitchen, and they took great care over the food. Being in a 5* hotel it is towards the upper price point, however given the quality of the food and service I was a happy customer. I would recommend a visit."

"During our stay at The Grand, York, we enjoyed an exceptional dinner at The Rise Restaurant. It boasts stylish and modern decor, with the ability to see into the kitchen and watch your food being prepared. This is a lovely addition to the dining experience. The food was delicious, highly priced but definitely worth it. The waiters can’t do enough for you and are so welcoming, the wait times are short, the utensils and other table decor is impeccably clean and it has a great atmosphere to it. We will absolutely be returning and encourage others to do the same."

"I took my husband here as a birthday treat and he loved it. The food was incredible and the service was fantastic. The staff couldn’t do enough. We were given breads with oil and special butter to nibble before the starters arrived. I ordered the scotch egg. At the end of the main course we were both stuffed but we forced ourselves to split a dessert because it was too good of an experience to not. We ordered a dessert called something like “milk and honey” and it was brilliant. 10/10. Would definitely recommend this for someone wanting a fine dining experience. We cannot wait to go back."

"Coming with high expectations set by my fellow reviewers we where rather disappointed. Not so much of the kitchen - it is what you would expect from a restaurant, yet by the service. Likely not enough trained, the management should more care about skills and experience of its staff. Standards like opening/tasting a bottle of wine should be known. I had to return my espresso 2 out of 3 times because it was cold. It simply stood at the bar for just to long not being served. Organisation mattes - and this is what management is responsible for."
