"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."

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.

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.

excellent service, good food, high prices. the tasting menu was the only dining room option and we were satisfied with it. at the time of the reservation they were asked about nutritional needs and allergies and were happy to bring my vegetarian food.

beautiful place to dinate and experience an excellent menu. the staff is helpful, knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. nothing too much annoying and seem to enjoy what they do. Without doubt, eating is amazing. who knew you could make the humble beetle so delicious? meat and fish were cooked to perfection. the meal was never rushed and we were offered time to digest the aromen before the sweet dingen. an excellent evening.

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!

absolutely fantastic 1 michelin stared restaurant. fantastic modern British cuisine. highly recommended. service is very friendly and attentive. the personal is very professional and welcoming. I had asked the tasting menu not to have a bark pork and they gave friendly alternatives. recommend the tasting menu. it has about 10 dishes impossible to choose a favorite, as they are all absolutely excellent. they see pictures for the dishes tasting lunch menu when I was there, there was about £95 really good for the quality and variety they get. I had a glass of champagne and then 2 small glasses of wine. everything in all it costs £150 and took over 3 hours. it is a really wonderful relaxing expe...
