Top drawer in all respects. Food : vgc. Service: exceptional. Prices: high, but these days you get what you pay for.

It's a trendy place, we felt a bit lost at first but breakfast was fine although a little pricey.

Great service. Booked through Reef and the staff were very attentive. Had some fries, corn ribs and tropical lemonade and all were great. Perfect place for meeting clients too.

We were sat on a table for 2 at the very far end, under a music speaker which was so loud we were literally SHOUTING at each other. We asked to be moved but our request was blocked by the unhelpful waiter who could only suggest to turn the music down. despite tables for 2 being free close by. In despair at the lack of customer service we re-located ourselves to a quieter table and picked our own food plates up along with cutlery and made ourselves comfortable. Then to add insult to abysmal service, a "service charge" was added onto our bill. Of course we asked for it to be removed because of the poor quality of a) food and b) customer service. Definitely won't be recommending or revisiting this establishment.

My husband and I booked a table, lots of tables free but we were still made to wait in a stuffy corner. We were looking forward to eating at Bill’s but we were let down, with me being heavily pregnant and this was also meant to be a birthday meal, after we got sat down we were completely ignored by wait staff, other people served before us who were seated after us, wait staff checking themselves in the mirror or giggling instead of working, so in the end we left. Never going back.

Enjoyed a fab meal at the York restaurant yesterday. It’s in a great location and the menu has something to suit most people. Our server was Alex and he was attentive and charming making the experience even more enjoyable.

Was very busy when we arrived but thankfully they could seat us. I had the chicken shawarma which was really good - I didn't like the pickled cabbage on the salad it came with, but that's personal preference. Husband had the buttermilk chicken and pancakes which he enjoyed. Reasonably priced for the quality of food. Quick service too.

Great place. Service was good, apart from the olives arriving at the same time as the starters, instead of before.

Extremely disappointed to find a 12.5% service charge automatically added to the bill and to remove it, you must speak to a member of staff, thus creating embarrassment. Food was okay, but won't return due to the service charge.

Really lovely staff who were welcoming and helpful; service was very quick, went at around 4pm on a Friday so was expecting to be busy but they were great!
