Flag & Whistle in York

Great food great cocktails. The baby changer table needs fixing as it looks like it's going to fall off the wall. Other than that one thing a perfect meal. The fried chicken is unreal!

Came in on a Sunday night for celebratory cocktails, and was served by Josh. He was so friendly and just the cherry on top of a lovely evening. We had prompt service and the cocktails were delicious!

Went for dinner on Valentine’s Day & the service was excellent. Really attentive staff who were lovely! The food was excellent as well, particularly the chili beef ramen. We’ll be back again soon

The staff were great but sadly the food was really lacking. The salt and pepper chips had no hint of salt or pepper and massively lacked in flavour, and the bang bang cauliflower didn't have anywhere near enough sauce. The rice with the crispy chilli beef wasn't seasoned and the gyozas lacked flavour. The burger bao's didn't have enough filling and were pretty underwhelming.There was no beer on tap and we were served lukewarm bottles instead. Overall I was really disappointed with the standard of food. For the money it simply wasn't worth it. To reiterate though the staff were lovely.

We chose the duck option for lunch. On the menu it said it is for 2 people to share. It was £14.00. When it arrived it was one skew of duck that was not enough for one person to eat. We left quickly to complete our lunch elsewhere.

We went to take advantage of the 20% student discount and two for £14 cocktails. The two FOH staff we interacted with were both very polite, friendly and professional at all times.The food was really nice, however the broth in the ramen was a verging on gravy which made the experience a bit strange. Very flavorful and tasty though. The gyoza was a bit overcooked which dried it out a bit, but still very nice.I wouldn't pay £12 each for the cocktails, so it felt more like I was just paying full price with the two for £14 offer. At that price point though they were great and worth it.The decor was very nice, lots of greenery and wood mixed with warm lighting gave it a cosy feel.Unfortunately there was a halfhcut family with an 18 month(ISH) child roaming around the restaurant and rolling around on the floor during the whole meal. Many times they came right up to our table and it was really off-putting. It was a less than busy night, so I understand the management not saying anything to their biggest bill, but it's definitely put me off returning on a weekday.Finally, the inclusion of a 15% ISH service charge on the bill was upsetting. I really don't like not having a choice on the tip I leave, and feel it's an Americanism we definitely don't need. However, I asked the server who it goes to, and he explained that it's shared between the servers at the end of the month, with none going to managers. It's a little more than I would have tipped, but not much, so I left it. An option on the card machine to leave a chosen gratuity amount would be much better.Unfortunately, this combined with the plethora of choices in York leads me to believe I will probably never return out of choice. A shame really, as the staff were honestly great.

Pretty place and beautiful setting, found less options for food but tasted really good and priced little more than average. Loads of options for tasty drinks friendly staff who were really busy and working hard. The cheque was a bit expensive but enjoyed spending and to mention something interesting toilets looked very clean and good. Give it a try

Forage York is so cute and well decorated. I loved this place, it's ideal for big groups but also for couples. The cocktails are nice, the staff is really friendly and we loved our pit stop there. Totally recommend it.

Love this place -what an experience! Every cocktail we tried was delicious and the food was out of this world. Enjoyed everything we tried, especially the bao buns and sticky pork. The staff were fab too. Can't wait to go again.

Quite a large restaurant with a Japanese 'izakaya' style menu. Food is well suited to the excellent beers available. We enjoyed the bao buns tempura furikake (sweetcorn fritters) and karaage which is Japanese fried chicken
