Tank And Paddle York

Booking was easy. First impressions when entering restaurant/ bar was that it was more a bar than restaurant, very noisy but once through to restaurant it was ok. Service good and food very good and reasonably priced. Would go again. It was Friday night so may be much quiter at other times)

A nice meal. Staff were excellent as we and another three folk were the only diners. Beautiful place to eat and lovely views over the river. One fault I ordered the steak and ale pie the pastry was far too hard and it contained mushrooms which was not noted on the menu. I would have chosen something else.

After visiting here, Twice last year and having good food both times, we decided to book for my husbands birthday!!! They had no balsamic for the dipping bread. It just tasted like cooking oil, not olive oil. After asking for some balsamic, we were told someone would go to the shop for some!!! Both myself and my daughter, Ordered the chicken skewer. It looked good,, although a bit too charred for me. I poured what was supposed to be the “garlic butter on the top to flavour the meat before I realised this was not butter or garlic!!! After complaining, I was assured it was garlic butter! But I persisted and was told they’d run out of garlic butter! As I’d already poured it onto my meat, it tasted dreadful, so oily. My daughter in law mentioned her gnocchi was also tasteless. Also the chips were dry. On complaining They offered us 10% off the bill and a free drink. My son in law wasn’t happy with this and said that our 2 meals should be knocked off the bill. They did agree to this and also gave us a free drink. I was just disappointed that I didn’t enjoy and couldn’t finish my meal. I believe the rest of the party were satisfied with their choices.

It is a very nice restaurant with great views of the river. However, the food was ok, it wasn't great and we didn't get checked upon. It felt like we got forgotton about when it got busy.

Had not our booking, it was not a good start. To be fair, we have made it effort to give a table, but it was right at the open door to the smoke area and so it was icy and smell of cigarette smoke. did not even order food and went elsewhere.
