    Our afternoon Tea was excellent. I have over my many years eaten in various places for afternoon tea but I must confess at the GRAND HOTEL, York, is most definately the best. My compliments to the chefs who prepare the food (sandwiches, scones and cakes). You can taste every flavour. Well done, you most definitely get my vote 100% and excellent value for money.

    First time at the Rise and not disappointed. Not as cozy as expected but ambience was pleasant and able to easy talk. Would be nice to have more private dinning experience than open plan. Wonderful evening and the staff in particular our table server was attentive. Food was as expected cooked beautifully with a variety of flavour’s. Didn’t manage a dessert due to main course being sufficient. Recommend.

    The staff were incredibly attentive and it was lovely that they had gone to the effort of writing out a birthday card for my mum. The food was nice I wouldn’t say spectacular it looked amazing but some of the pieces were quite bland in taste. We had the vegan afternoon tea and although we are vegetarians we had to let the staff know that on one of the deserts contained honey and bee pollen which vegans would not eat.
