"Went for the full signature tasting menu, but oh dear, most of the dishes were bland and dissapointing. The starter was messy, nice, but impossible to eat without dropping bits on the table like a toddler and there was a nice xx with cheese sauce.We have enjoyed many tasting menus in the past so we are used to the portion sizes, but never has the phrase style over substance been more apt. Normally you look forward to the next course to see what amazing flavours are next, but not this time, more like, oh no, another dish to contend with. Don 't mind paying a lot for good food, but if this has been a special occasion we would have been really dissapointed. We 'd rather have had fish and chips. Staff were good and enthusiastic so paid the service charge. We asked for the bill with three courses left, I 'll ask the manager why? Are we being held hostage by the forces of blandness, let us go, please! It was strange they didn 't even ask why we wanted to leave early. I left looking forward to eating the biscuits I 'd wilfully ignored in the hotel room, yes, really."

Every part of our meal was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, and every course of the taster menu was so inventive and delicious. We will definitely return

We have been to Roots twice in the past year and both times have been 10/10. Service fantastic and food event better. One of our favourite places to visit and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

We dinned at Roots on Friday night and were served by Frankie. Frankie looked after us really well and the food was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend, myself and my partner will definitely return View menu

The best food I’ve ever eaten! Fine dining done well! Much better than other Michelin stars we’ve tried. A potato desert, how do they make it work so well like a sorbet?! Great atmosphere and attention to detail!

An incredible experience, food looked and tasted incredible. Staff clearly well trained and had learnt each item on the menu to perfection. It was a gift from our eldest son for Christmas and could not have been more delightful.

Delicious Modern British restaurant in York using locally sourced ingredients! Although the food was good, the portions were ridiculously small. We often go to fine dining establishments so we are used to the smaller portions given in these types of restaurants but in terms of price/value, this was subpar. The hogget (which was our main) was tiny and we were served bites, not courses. Other than that, the flavours were decent but we had to get some food afterwards! View menu

We were welcomed at the table with an Anniversary card to mark our special occasion! Food was delicious, as I would expect some of the flavour combinations challenged us and it was exciting! Attention to detail and an attentive team were evident. My only ‘could be better if….’ Was the music. The courses take a quite a while to get through and I would have loved a sound track more in keeping with the atmosphere and food!! A small detail in an otherwise fantastic visit to a stunning restaurant in a beautiful city!

Wow, this was the most amazing dining experiences of my life and I'm 55, the food was fantastic, a work of art, every dish was explained in great detail, it was a master class in taste, how food is dried or frozen in order not to waste it, but every dish that came out was an explosion of detail, art and taste, we were genuinely in ore of it. The service was on another level to anything we have experienced, exceptionally fabulous, we couldn't find anything at all to moan about, nothing! absolutely amazing, amazing, amazing so much so we gave a 20% tip. If you are looking for steak and chips, then this isn't for you, but if you are looking for a once in a lifetime dining experience just go for...
