"since over 15 years sophies steakhouse visited and since the summer it was my first time. I went past the last weeks often to visit during the tireless veganuary, so I jumped on the opportunity to have a relaxed dinner there...with a friend on a Tuesday night. the dinner itself was the usual quality ingredients simple things made very good and fair value for the location as expected. I was disappointed, however, that I was at the reception of the restaurant for approx. 5 minutes were allowed to stand (besides a board that has asked customers to wait) where I was ignored, although I was passed on several times by the employees without gruß or recognition. it seems quite unnecessary that customers (also with reservations) on this wise on a Tuesday night around 19:30 clock, if there is a bar area on the immediate left side of the at the beginning that I quite comfortable my time in, until someone around me to put around me and safe enough, a small waiting snake formed behind us through the time we finally sit, although there is a series of open tables. my words very carefully to choose, I told the waiter (the manager) when he put us that as “a courteous world of advice” when they let customers wait at the entrance, they should be more of an effort to welcome them immediately, but this seemed to be taken as a personal affront and I was accused that it was quite hysterical, “he was being back in the moment when I met him during this already negotiated exchange we were asked twice (at this point) if we wanted to proceed with our booking by the waiter who obviously had decided that he would rather leave the partially empty restaurant. Despite every attempt to go, I didn't want my friend embarrassing, who visited the restaurant more regularly from late, so we tried to make the best of an otherwise insignificant dinner. within spores of playing the sacrifice, the waiter could explain that he was very stressed, as they were particularly short workers (the experience of my friend also from a previous visit) and fair to him seemed to be that he had a large area on his own. Of course, I have addressed any sympathy, and it is a management problem that must be solved especially for that of human, but why not just with an excuse or even only a recognition of feedback received, instead of expressing themselves and making absurd accusations if it receives polite and constructive feedback? would the device rather not mention a bad customer experience and decide to simply go into reasonable feedback? to his credit, the rest of the service was professional, but it is hard to do such a basic misunderstanding of the customer service in a time when they think restaurants should do everything in their power to customers again welcome after the break-up of the last 18 months. the whole episode is pretty bad at sophies I'm sorry to say and I won't be back in a hurry."

"York is justifiable famous for it 's great pubs ,so many that you need a week to visit them all which is exactly what my twin brother Stephen and did in February before we started an eight days holiday in Prague. This is a special pub ,established in 1756 ,interior is superb ,nice rooms,great decor and furnishings,period details and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside in their amazing looking igloo 's and all housed in a fantastic Georgian era building. We were here on a Wednesday early afternoon ,we had just done a complete walk of the famous Roman Walks ,we were definitely in need of a beer and dropped into The Lamb Lion Pub,a pub we always look forward to visiting . The pub was busy,it was in fact standing room only ,we got served no problem and we both opted to have Timothy Taylor 's Brewery landlord ,served in pristine condition ,we just kicked back and took in the great pub we were in. My pale ale was really good,a golden ale,crisp,well balanced ,hoppy and bursting with taste,just what we needed after our lovely walk around the walls ,it was just so good being in such a great pub enjoying a great real ale. We both really enjoyed our pale ale 's in here before we moved on and as on every previous visit to here we had a great time. The Lamb Lion Pub is easy to locate along High Petergate. A great pub,if you 're in the area most definitely well worth checking out."
