Wonderful dinner experience at the York Bistro tonight. The service was outstanding by the two excellent, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our dietary requirements were no problem at all for the chef and kitchen team and the food was amazing with thoughtful presentation. Can thoroughly recommend this place if you want a special meal and experience! Will definitely be back 👍

There are not enough stars to rate this effectively. The service you will receive is incredible as all the staff are very friendly, helpful and professional. There is a magnificent range of options for dinner and I recommend all of them as they taste amazing. In the mornings there is a full continental breakfast that is an absolute must to start your day.

A place that celebrates local produce and wineries. Offering bespoke wine collection from the Wairarapa region in one cosy place. We were in a treat to attend a Jazz ensemble prior to our dinner. The restaurant offers their venue for local talent on special occasions. Their collection of art pieces are gallery worthy, my favorite art-piece - ‘Human’. We tried ‘Dry River’ Pinot Noir, a vintage indeed. I had a Kingfish who did receive a true royal brioche-lemongrass match making. Our luxury experience was matched by ‘D’ for Dean’s ‘D’ for Delightful customer service.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, I stepped into York Bistro, and what unfolded was a truly enchanting evening. The dining room, with its picturesque view of the gardens, created an inviting atmosphere that instantly put me at ease. I decided to begin with a drink at the bar, taking in the serene surroundings. The menu was a masterpiece that showcased the finest offerings. And let's not forget the wines – a curated selection that paired exquisitely with the dishes. And guess what? The bar stays open really late, so you can keep having fun. In conclusion, my visit to York Bistro was an evening of pure delight.

We came here for a meal after a staycation in Martinborough in July. Lovely food with exceptional service and a wine menu to match. Staff had great knowledge of wine pairings with local wines, couldn’t fault it! The grass fed wagyu was my personally favourite, great quality and flavours.
