We had a small celebration in Melton's after our wedding last week. We were really satisfied and impressed with the service provided. We were served in the private function room upstairs. The communication was very clear and smooth since the beginning. We really appreciated Melton's effort to accommodate our guests dietary requirement with alternative options. Melton's placed name cards according to seating plan and that really touched our hearts because we didn't request this. We started at 1pm but Melton's did not rush through our courses although they usually close in the afternoon. The courses were served in timely manner and allowed us had time to chat with our guests. Apart from the great service, the food was impressive and delicious. I personally had been there twice before but was still amazed how tasteful they are. All of guests had the tasting menu and were blown away by the delicious food. The stars are the Amuse Bouche and the two options of mains (Salt Aged Beef and Skrei Cod). Two of our guests left with saying "it was one of the best meals in my life". Thank you, Melton's, for creating us beautiful memories.

The food and service at Melton's is exquisite. This is high-end fine dining without the pretensions of other establishments. Lucy gives excellent advice on wine and all of the staff are friendly and knowledgable. The whole experience was wonderful. Highly recommended.

All of us had the tasting menu, and we were honestly EXTREMELY impressed by the food!! Delicious flavours (with some Japanese influence…?) and ingredients, beautiful plating!! My guests had the lamb and fish mains and I had the vegetarian one, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the veg main. Excellent food for its price. Bravo!! Have been to multiple Michelin starred restaurants around the world, and we honestly feel that the quality of Melton’s food doesn’t lose out. We particularly enjoyed the amuse-bouche, the refreshing pea dish, the scallop, the mushroom broth (with cauliflower in it). However, if we could give some constructive criticism to the restaurant, it would be regarding the lighting and the provision of napkins. Firstly on lighting — we were sat at a rather dim table (right opposite the staircase down to the lower floor), and without an additional table lamp / candle it was truthfully quite difficult to fully appreciate the lovely colours, arrangement, presentation and overall plating of the food. Thus, we felt that this was quite a waste! Besides that, we thought that napkins could be provided after the amuse-bouche given that we had to use our hands to pick them up (this is usually the practice in Michelin starred restaurants). Lastly, just a small note to add, my guests and I felt that the tart of the last dessert course might be more enjoyable if it were a ‘lighter’ pastry! These points aside, the dining experience was divine. Hope more people will patronise Melton’s. Our compliments to the chef and team!

Quite simply, outstanding. I have always been a little bit unsure of trying a restaurant like this, whether I would feel comfortable with the ambiance, and fine dining experience. I really did not need to worry. Staff are super friendly, knowledgeable, attentive but not intrusive. Surroundings are lovely and comfortable, immediately setting you at ease. I cannot think of a suitable adjective of high enough praise to describe the food. Every dish was exquisitely presented, tasted sublime and just the right amount of food to leave the restaurant sated. Thank you to the team at Meltons, my partner and I had a lovely evening last night, we will be back for sure.

I visited with my daughter and her partner who had previously visited the restaurant and knew that I would love it. We had the tasting menu - vegan for my daughter and her partner where as I had the meat version with some adjustments as I don't eat any four legged animals so a couple of the dishes were swapped. The venison tartare was swapped with the carrot dish from the vegan menu and the beef main course was replaced with the cod from the main menu. All my dietary needs were met with courtesy. The owner goes out of her way to accommodate her customers. The vegan and standard tasting menus were delicious. Each course was cooked to perfection. Sadly I was driving so could not indulge in the wine flight but the wine cellar is also excellent here. I couldn't fault the food or service, it really was a lovely experience. I will definitely return the next time I am in York and would urge all the foodies out there to visit this restaurant. You won't be disappointed. Sublime.

Once upon a time, Melton's was the only place in York offering fine dining. Now there are several to choose from. We recently returned to Melton's after too long an interval and had a superb lunch. We went for the tasting menu – there is also an a la carte option – and had as good a meal as we have had anywhere in York or North Yorkshire. Every course had us going "Wow". Knowing the reputation and reliability of Melton's soufflés we swapped one of the dessert courses for the quince soufflé. Just outsanding. Unlike some other tasting menus, you emerge from Melton's feeling that you have had a good meal. Excellent, friendly staff: not at all pretentious. Well done to everyone.

What a great little restaurant! We enjoy great food and drink, and this excelled our expectations. We chose the taster menu and wine pairing and cannot fault any of it. Every single meal was delicious and well presented. The staff also accommodated where two of us did not eat red meat. This is a highly recommended place to eat, and one we would definitely return to if we were to visit York again.

We had the tasting menu. It was fantastic as was the accompanying wine flight. Every dish had that wow factor and tasted as good as it looked. The service and its timing was impeccable and friendly. This was our first visit and won’t be our last. I’d like to hear from Michelin as to why they don’t warrant a star compared to other star holders I’ve eaten at that don’t reach the same heights.

Perfect.That word sums up my experience.I wasn’t sure what to expect having dined at “high end” restaurants such L’Enclume and The Yorke Arms for my December birthday.We decided to stay closer to home this year and my goodness what a local gem we have been missing.Service was efficient and friendly but not overbearing.The ambiance was relaxed and welcoming.The food was wonderful and innovative. I’m a (very) good cook and when I eat out I want dishes that I could not/would not execute myself.Melton’s ticked that box on every course and then delivered more.Stand out dishes for myself were the scallop and beef, but I can’t help mention the lamb on a mint jus “lollipop” amuse bouche that if expanded deserved a plate of its own. I’ll definitely be going back and bring friends with me.

I keep returning to Melton's after sampling other restaurants because I am confident of the quality of food, wine and service on every visit. Last week I ate lunch at one of Edinburgh's top restaurants which has been a regular choice of mine for years. Melton's out-performed the Michelin star venue and at half the price. I have re-booked next week.

This restaurant came recommended by a couple of people who have visited previously and we are so pleased that we took their advice to try it. The restaurant was very well appointed, the staff super professional and polite. We opted for the taster menu, which was fantastic, the food was stunning and each course complimented the next. There was just the right amount of time between each course and the staff explained what each course was. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, who even ordered a taxi for us. I would highly recommend Meltons and we would be very happy to re-visit this again.

If we lived nearer we would be regular patrons of this great restaurant. We had the a la carte menu and every dish was superb. The ameuse bouches consisted of three each delicious mouthfuls including a squid ink cracker followed by two different small loaves of bread each with two different butters and some smoked salt. The starter was scallop with salsify and a chicken croquette,the main was cod with mussels,apple,dates and raisins - both dishes absolutely wonderful. The ingredients might sound a bit weird but everything worked perfectly.We have been here before and can’t wait to return. By the way the service was friendly and knowledgeable

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We went for the 6 course tasting menu, paired with the wine flight. Every dish looked stunning and tasted even better.I’m not a fussy eater but the one thing I don’t particularly enjoy is mushrooms. I enquired to see if the mushroom course could be switched for an alternative, which honestly wouldn’t have been a problem if not. However without any hesitation the pigeon was offered instead.The restaurant is very small but this just adds to the charm. Can’t knock the service either, all staff really knowledgable, friendly and warm.

We had an exceptionally good dinner here. All the food was first class - very well thought out, well-cooked and very tasty. The service was also first class - very friendly but not intrusive. The only slight downside was that the Yorkshire white wine, which we thought we would try for an interesting change, was a bit 'thin'. Perhaps there is just not enough sunshine to bring out the body of the grapes to make really good wine?

We were a group of girls on a weekend away. This place was recommended and very glad we came. We did the tasting menu with wine and each course was excellent. We were worried we would be too full but the sizes are just perfect. They were happy to substitute in a fish dish in place of the lamb. It was a bonus that the owner was serving us and really gave us a perspective on the food and wine pairings which makes it taste all the more delicious in my opinion. It's a place for a real treat meal / special occasion for sure.

We visited Meltons on a Saturday lunchtime for our wedding anniversary in August. The menu is small and based around their tasting menu. As I don't eat much red meat I was pleased to see they offered fish or vegetarian options for the 'main' course in the tasting menu. Each of the 7 courses was tasty and very beautifully presented. The service was efficient and each course was described in detail as it arrived. We particularly liked the extensive wine list which was all well priced.

Thank you for a wonderful food experience. We will be back.

We visited here because the tasting menu looked really nice and we were not disappointed.We had 7 courses and wine flight and really enjoyed the varied and interesting flavours. As with most tasting menus, each course is small but packed with flavour. The accompanying wines were also nice.The service was very good and the overall experience was delivered over around a 3 hour period, which was ideal for us as it made it a proper evening.Would definitely recommend and wouldn't be surprised if a Michelin star found it's way to this restaurant in the future.Will be returning on our next trip to York!

I travelled by train up to York from London for the day for the tasting menu at Meltons, along with two old friends who now live there. It was certainly worth the journey! This was a memorable experience. The friendliness and expert knowledge of the charming staff complemented the extraordinary attention to detail in the superb composition and presentation of the dishes. One of our party is vegetarian and his alternatives were equally excellent.Mirabile dictu, our wine flight included a glass of the Laurel Vines of Driffield Solaris white, a wine reminiscent of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc but with the added excitement of being produced from Yorkishire (!) vines. I had read that the last time there was a spike in temperatures in the 14th century the monks grew grapes in Yorkshire. How marvellous that seven centurues late advantage is now being taken of the latest climate change!Including a handsome and well-deserved gratuity, our bill came to £120 each for the seven course menu with accompoanying wines - excellent value for money given the quality of the well-chosen wines and the imaginative and expertly created dishes. Even with the advance day return from London on LNER (£45), this was value for money, and a good excuse to wander the quirky streets of York afterwards. Yorkists - do support your local gem!!

What a lovely place. Fantastic service, nice ambience and superb food. We had the tasting menu and paired wine all of which we loved. The description of each course was excellent and the passion showed by the owner when explaining the wine was a joy, it was great to taste a yorkshire wine too, who knew there was a vineyard in Driffield. Definately worth the money, we enjoyed it more than the meal we had at The Angel which was a Michelin star.

I won't add to what so many others have rightly said about the wonderful cuisine, excellent service and so on. Instead, I'll keep it short and say that, having been lucky enough to eat in a few Michelin-starred restaurants over the years, I'm really surprised that Meltons has not (yet) been awarded a star. It really is that good!

After being recommended to visit, I was so happy to get a table at the last minute due to a cancellation, The meal was just fantastic, the delicate flavours of each dish expertly executed. And top class service by the front of house staff.

My partner and I visited for my birthday and we could not fault it. The restaurant looks tiny and so unassuming from the outside, but my god the food was amazing, and the service was top drawer. The Cod dish was amazing and I would go back just for that! Definitely a must when in York, and we will be back.

We have dined at Melton’s on a previous visit to York and looked forward to our return. We were not disappointed- the food was superb,imaginative ameuse bouches,gazpacho with two different breads and two different butters,scallop ceviche,succulent cod and lovely rhum babbas.Service is friendly and professional. We just wish we lived nearer and we can’t wait to return.

So pleased to be back. Supper was delicious: clever and thoughtful and a complete pleasure to eat. The tasting menu was expertly judged - we were comfortably full. The wine parings were worthwhile and interesting and the service was excellent. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Visited in June 2021 and had a lovely meal. The menu a la carte is a selection from tasting menu and was excellent. Beautiful cod and lamb, and an unforgettble yourshire strawberry based pudding. Service excellent, wine list fascinating and highly recommended

A 15 minute walk from the city center, Melton's Restaurant is a good choice for those who want a nice fine dining experience. The staff was very attentive, the space small - but not on top of each other - and clean. My favorite main was surprisingly the asparagus tart (don't judge until you've tried it), but the lamb was also quite delicious. The strawberry dessert was a great way to end the meal. I'd recommend this restaurant to others looking for a nice restaurant. Note: when we went, they only accepted cash - a rare thing in the age of Covid!

Enjoyed a 7 course taster menu for our wedding anniversary as we ended up in York as the originally planned New York was off the cards this year!The decor is relaxed and not too formal. The staff are engaged and interested in the food and look like they enjoy letting the diners know the details about what’s on their plates. We have never eaten Michelin star food but this has got to be as close as you can get without actually getting a star. Not sure how it can get much better?Hats off to the chef and all the staff. We will be back to sample again and may even make the 100mile drive to York just for another meal.

We had the taster menu, matched with wine course. Every course was amazing, the wine was matched perfectly and the owner discussed the wine openly with us to explain why she had paired with each dish.Not only brilliant food and wine but also very personable service, with good conversation, and clearly an expansive knowledge of both food and wine.We have dined any Michelin star restaurants in the past bu this place is the top of our list.

Chanced my arm getting a table as a solo diner and I was in luck! Beautiful food and good selection of English sparkling wines. The place is tasteful and the staff have been trained really well. I enjoyed all the food I had. Really popular so definitely book ahead if you’re more than 1 person. Thank you for a nice pre performance snack.

Detenido en esto para comer antes de ir al teatro y fue una delicia. El personal y la comida eran maravillosos y por un precio razonable. Nos bastante triste cuando el personal nos dijo que estaban cambiando desde un restaurante hasta un bar que aparentemente es lo que quiere la gente en Nueva York. Es una pena que se pierda otro restaurante encantador a la bebedores de York.
