Ate O'clock

“Fun atmosphere. Definitely a good date/girl's night place but also a good option with kids. Set menu and ala carte options. I had the chef's pie, which was delicious. Probably good to make a reservation during peak times but we ate early and were able to grab a table for 5.”

“It was such a wonderful entrance to eat the tastiest meal we've had in a long time! It was amazing so we've booked to return again. The restaurant is lovely, really relaxing and beautifully decorated. The servers were attentive, and as I had to exchange my drink, they were very helpful. We can more than highly recommend this restaurant. We did see a couple of older ladies leave as they didn't like the look of the table they were to be seated at......BIG MISTAKE! The food is the BEST!!”

“Had a lovely birthday meal here, so glad we visited. The halloumi fries with the chilli dip were 10/10. They were very accomodating, the staff were kind and attentive, especially our waitress. Took care of us all night and gave me a birthday slate with cake and a candle, and a card from the staff at Ate o'clock. Highly recommend, will definitely be returning. Great location, and a fab little bar next door with the best pornstar martinis we've ever had. 10/10 thank you!”

“I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service from our waiter, Lily. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure our every need was met without ever being intrusive. Lily’s genuine care and professionalism truly enhanced our meal, making the whole experience memorable. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends. Thank you, Lily and the entire team, for a fantastic evening!”

“Well, that’s it. We’ve found THE spot. Can’t believe we’ve been in York this long and somehow missed this place. We took one look at the menu and lost all self-control. Starters—we went all in. Way too many for two people, but zero regrets. Not a single weak link, just hit after hit. Main course? Pan Roasted Chicken. And listen, I don’t say this lightly—it was unreal. Juicy inside, dreamy flavour. I wanted to try something else next time... but I already know I won’t. That chicken’s got a hold on me. Now—Ruby (our server for the evening). Absolute standout. You know when someone just gets it? That was her. Effortless charm, warm without trying. She made us feel welcome, looked after, and somehow managed to strike that perfect balance of professional and genuinely down-to-earth. The kind of service that doesn’t feel like service at all — a natural vibe that made the whole experience feel lighter, better, just... more fun. Already planning round two. Might pace ourselves on the starters this time... or not.”
