It is classy looking, the drinks are decent price, (get the Captain Morgan in!) The music downstairs on a saturday is cheese, upstairs it gets a little better.

Having booked a table this time, we were able to relax, and take our time and really enjoy ourselves. So do book a table as it does get really busy there. Donna and I had a mix of tapas, my Mother had the Seabass, and my father had a Pizza. All of it was a really enjoyable meal. I definitely recommend it. Thank you to them for having us and we look forward to coming back soon!

We had afternoon cocktails in the beautiful garden. Just lovely. My only complaint is that they…read moredidn't have Pimms on the menu; this place cries out for Pimms! (We consoled ourselves with rhubarb gin and quickly recovered our good spirits.) This is definitely a must do in York. Quintessential Britain. I'd love to stay at the hotel and try the restaurant.

On a wet and dreary day, whilst wondering around near the minster (after some cupcakes at Crumbs,…read moreof course), my wife and I stumbled upon this gem. We saw Grays Court Hotel, imagined what it would be like to stay in such a place, and may have made our way into the back garden to discover the huge outdoor seating area. As this wasn't the day for a drink in the sun, we walked inside to discover a wonderful seating areas upstairs. To our surprise the drink prices weren't much different from anywhere else in town, so we made ourselves at home in two chairs by a window in the library and ordered some drinks along with the Mackerel Paté with bread. The food and drinks were excellent. The staff were hospitable and helpful. And it was safe to assume we lounging in one of the best possible places on a rainy day in York. The forecast the next day was warm and sunny, so we couldn't resist coming back. After a brief wait, some tables opened up outside and we new that we were now enjoying the sun and drinks in one of the best possible places on a sunny day in York. I almost want to move to York just so I can come here every week.

The bread (2 types)was so fresh.., soft inside and crunchy crusty. We ordered several starters. Oysters, beets root trout with edible flowers, courgette 3 ways, and soup of the day to name a few. For the main most of us ordered the Sunday roast. My friend and I specified rare but what came out was medium rare. It was still very tender and tasty. Yorkshire pudding, gravy, potatoes, and vegetables accompanied the dish. All were delicious and fresh. We enjoyed a nice bottle of malbec. For dessert I highly recommend the Sticky toffee pudding. It is off thr chain! The Millionaire pudding was also good but very sweety. I think it needs more ice cream to balance out the richness of the pudding. The ambience and service are great with tables outside in front and in the garden out back. I highly recommend this restaurant for delicious food and top notch service.

This review forms part of the Legendary Mini-Break of the Sisterhood....aka Angie And Fiona Do…read moreYorkshire....aka The 'Win'kend. Having strutted my leggy, longhaired sibling around Sky Lounge on Thursday like a prize show pony, I decided to stick her hungover ass in the back of the car and whisk her to the secret waterfall in the Dales that I can't tell you about because then it wont be my secret any more (you're not squeezing THIS one out of me Yelp!!). I skinnydipped Fiona's delicate Southern backside in freezingly fresh water, stuffed a buttery picnic into her and sat her in a local pub for some wincingly bad white wine and then I left her in the capable hands of a man date to Chaophraya. The 'Win'kend was exceeding all expectations. Then on Saturday I washed her, dressed her, brushed her pretty teeth, hung some Best in Show rosettes in her glossy mane and flung her into the heart of York to buy Cath Kidston dresses and overpriced picture frames. It was during this extended bonding session that we stumbled upon, and thus into, Oscar's. May I start by miming the rubbing of hands over walls and saying that thing I often say, much to the bemusement of most of my friends, "Lovely wallpaper!!". You just can't have enough tropical birds on big red flowers. I'm not being sarcastic. I genuinely have a remote sex button that gets pressed by the sight of interesting wallpaper...which I then sit by and bang on about ad infinitum, ad nauseum, all the time stroking said paper like a 100% proper sausage of a human being. Oscar's has wallpaper for the win. It also has a nice range of ales, wines and fruit beers....a strawberry fruli later and I was ready to mezze things up a notch. We plumped for mixed olives and a mediterranean platter which, at £4 and £8 respectively provided ample piles of slippery olives, rich taramasalata, thick hummus, cool tzatsiki, salad and warm flatbread for three of us. There's olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the tables to extend the bread life into some proper dipping. It was fresh, flavoursome and tasty. We even got more bread to finish off the dips, that's how dipalicious it was. So why only 3 stars? Lovely looking bar. Clean and well stocked with interesting and wide choices of drinks and food. Utterly FAB-U-LOUS wallpaper. Pleasant toilets....I could go on. But there's the one thing isn't there that just scoots you down the ratings faster than a wet rat in a slimy pipe. Customer service. Yes the staff were all achingly polite. Most were fabulous looking. There were more than enough of them to go around. But. Every single damn time we wanted something we had to play the staring game. Staring politely. Staring more urgently. Turning around in chairs and staring. Sighing and staring. Having that conversation about when is the right time to just shout 'Excuse me!' at the 10th waitress to walk directly past your table whilst earning an Olympic Gold (see what I did there) for deliberately avoiding meeting your eye despite being close enough to see right into your wanting soul. Watching huddles of said staff engaged in exciting looking conversations about last night in the corners of the bar with their backs turned to the entire dining contigent was really the final straw. "EXCUUUUUUUSE MEEEEEE!" Pah. Not good enough. Oscar's salvages the 2 points for looking lovely, being comfortable and having tasty grub at a good price but having worked in bars and restaurants from the age of 14-25 nothing irks me more than being deliberately ignored. If you are being paid to wait then no customer should be left wanting, whether they are your 'service' or not. Scuttling past diners with your eyes on the floor is downright lazy and turning your back on them to chat with your bessie mate for 10 minutes is downright unacceptable. If I could manage to wait tables efficiently at 14 Oscar's then your proper grown up staff can manage it now. Rant over...but never out! MWAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I have been wanting to do a review for ages now. It started when I heard that the pop group FIVE where playing at this venue, IN A BINGO HALL!!!. Forget the stereotypes this place is great. There must have been 1000 people at the FIVE music night. Since then I have been for a regular Bingo session and eaten the great food at a reasonable price while enjoy a cheeky game of bingo with a few pints with Friends. There is always events on which are on their facebook page and advertised in the building. If you like a lively fun party atmosphere which is almost nightclub quality they do a Bonkers Bingo Night once every month or so, it great fun and again the beer prices are amazing. You can see that they are tapping into the 18-35 market on a nighttime and with Scarborough not having any nightlife they are creating something amazing here!! Well done Mecca Scarborough. Just heard today that they have a Massive Christmas Party Night coming and are launching a monthly Comedy club in there lounge bar upstairs, the lounge is ace with Pool tables, Games consoles seating and private bar. I have been told it has a new manager now so from what I can see he is getting on the pulse of what this town needs.

You do get some younger people in but on the whole it is the older generation.
