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.

    It was just, okay. We arrived at 3pm for the Sunday Lunch Sharer. The restaurant interior is very nice and a nice ambience but the roast itself didn’t excel. Roast potatoes not crispy. Small amount of pork. Chicken a bit dry. However the beef was good albeit thin slices. Plenty of gravy. Nice vegetables and big Yorkshire Puddings. Could probably get a more satisfying roast for a smaller price somewhere else.

    When entering the restaurant didn’t feel the welcome was very good we were early at 9.10 for a 9.30 booking to be abruptly told table won’t be ready until 9.30 didn’t mind that at all but we suggested can we wait for a drink there was lots of members of staff around the desk and no one asked what drink we wanted, so we went and asked ourselves, the young girl wasn’t really friendly, looked like she didn’t want to be there, but she was nicer as she took us to our table but that was late at 9.40 Starters were very nice, I had pork partner had scallops that was really nice but very expensive for what it was, had chateaubriand had all the sauces only liked two of them, when the steak came over looked nice there was some seasoning salt on the board which I tasted with my finger - then a member of staff came over and said think u have been given someone else’s food and took it away minute later brought it back, that was the worst part of the service wouldn’t u check before carrying someone’s dinner around I also said I tasted the salt and he was willing to give that to another table really bad, also ordered home made chips but the brought fries over then 5 mins later they brought the proper ones. Drinks were nice, desserts were the worst part of the food - bread and butter pudding bland and stodgy and the baked Alaska wasn’t baked Alaska served in a cocktail glass didn’t taste that great, but then were also rushed out of there at the end security coming around saying need to leave now, it closes at 12 and it was 11.44 and I had a little bit of wine left it’s a restaurant not a pub and we were served late - and then very much rushed out after spending £319 In there overall - the experience was a little disappointing

    The meat on their sizzler special was cold the hot stone and gravy was also cold. I did mention this to the staff but it was too late for it to be precooked as I was on a tight schedule. Not very happy, but first time I have been disappointed. Hopefully it was a one off. The experience, however, spoilt the family day out.
