Located in St. Sampsons Square - a historic part of York’s city centre known for selling great meat since the 12th century - The Cut & Craft York is widely considered one of York’s best steak restaurants.

Boasting its own in-house master butcher and a signature 10oz Flat Iron steak, this elegant restaurant is stylishly decorated with historic features throughout. Open daily for lunch and dinner, with brunch and roasts on the weekends, it’s centrally located close to the famous mediaeval York Shambles and under the shadow of York Minster.

Named 'Restaurant of the Year' at the Yorkshire National Business Hero Awards in 2023 and 2024, The Cut & Craft combines contemporary steak and seafood dishes with a premium list of locally-crafted drinks.

    I have an intolerance to onion and chilli (not an allergy), which was shared with the member of staff at the entrance and again to the table server. After looking at the menu, I placed my order along with other members of my party (3 of us). A little while later the server returned with someone else, I’m assuming it was a manager. They told me I couldn’t order the food I chosen (calamari and festive burger) because there is chilli in all fryers in the restaurant and the chef was refusing to cook it for me. When I asked if it was fresh chilli and fresh/raw onion (which is my intolerance), they said no but they would not be able to serve me anything from the fryer. I was given the menu and told to choose something else. When I asked what on the menu I could order I was told to choose and they would check. I chose dauphinoise potatoes and asked for king prawns without chilli. The server returned and said I couldn’t have the prawns as they already had chilli and I couldn’t have the potatoes because they were already mixed with chilli. None of these ingredients were listed in the menu. I asked again if I could be told what I could order and they said it was up to the chef. That the chef was refusing to cook items that may risk my allergy. I insisted it was intolerance and in the end asked to see the chef. A young chef appeared at the table. He said he had to be careful and that the business treated all tolerances and allergies the same. After a long conversation about my intolerances to fresh and raw ingredients, the chef agreed to cook the original items I had ordered. At this point, I had had enough. Not only had I had to complain and explain my intolerance to onions and chilli to 3 members of staff but I had to fight hard to be allowed to order the food I wanted to eat. It was embarrassing and I felt ashamed of my intolerances. Never have I been made to feel such an inconvenience to a restaurant in York as much as i did tonight. I will not be returning.

    The service was excellent. The starters were fabulous. Some of our party didn’t enjoy the accompaniments to main course. It was my son’s 30th birthday and he received a card and complimentary dessert which was well received. The dress code was explained on the website which we followed but other diners did not which was disappointing ( too casual for the ambience and price mark ie. Hoodies, tracksuit bottoms).

    Considering the good reviews, I wasn’t blown away by the food or the service. Food was ok, not worth the money though, it’s Hawksmoor prices and nowhere near the same quality, the bone marrow gravy tasted like normal packet gravy. The dauphinoise portions were bitty and overcooked, definitely not freshly cooked, it’s like they’d been heated in the microwave, the cheese over the op was definitely melted in the microwave. It was all very overpriced. The front of house staff were very lovely but table service all looked quite moody and didn’t did the service to be very good at all. Didn’t experience anything that would make me want to go back.

    Family trip to York and party of 8 night out. Ambience very nice….. modern with a great vibe. Menu looks limited but is in fact more than adequate to accommodate all tastes and the food cooked to perfection. Drinks menu good and nice festive cocktails. Service was excellent despite the restaurant being full. Overall a very nice night out. We will definitely come back.
