   We sat outside and enjoyed a delightful evening. Unfortunately, it took over an hour for our meal to be served. My friend’s steak was over cooked and potatoes cold. My stuffed chicken was excellent.

   Friday night dinner excellent in-house-made soups and desserts made daily….the BEST. Salads are kept interesting and dressings seem to be house made though the premixed greens they serve are every now and then not the freshest. Best cheeseburger I’ve had anywhere! Fish specials need more variety than halibut and salmon, parmesean crusted or burre blanc. Love the new vegetable sides!

    There was a mixup about my friend's order. First she brought two soups when only I ordered it. Then my friend said "I was supposed to get a Caeser salad" which was brought by pretty quickly along with an appetizer I had ordered. Then we sat for a good long while. Finally, we asked somoone else because our waitress seemed to have disappeared about where was her dinner. Apparently, the waitress didn't understand that she wanted a salad AND the dinner! We were attending a play nearby and running out of time. My friend said she would just take it home for later. With just 10 minutes before the show was to start, she cancelled her order. We had been there 1 hour and 20 minutes by that time. By the time the waitress sorted out our checks we had less than 5 minutes to get to the theater. I am not sure what happened because I have eaten there many times before and everything went smoothly and the food was always very good.

    Group for Stained Glass Theatre. Service was excellent. Food was excellent. Menu selection very limited and prices very high for most entrees, causing budget minded to choose cheeseburgers.

    York Street Cafe is a fun, kitschy place to meet. The food and service were really great and we were seated right at our reservation time, which is rare these days! Oh, the desserts are Amazing and are a must-do!

    We enjoyed our dinner. We started with the Brie appetizer which was AMAZING! I had great Autumn salad with grilled chicken. It was very good. My husband got the chicken dish with a cream sauce which was also good. We finished our meal with a slice of chocolate cake...OMG!! DELISH!! We will definitely go back!!! By the way the ambiance was perfect!! Love this place!

    This place was once one of my favorite restaurants. Scan the reviews and find how many lead with that statement. It’s usually a sign of a restaurant in decline.The cute ambiance is still there, but the food is really average and way too pricey for the quality. My tab was $95 for a modest dinner for 2. I will sadly not be going back. Will miss the old cafe, not the same standards, quality and value.

    Love the quirky ambiance. Salads, chicken, pork chops were great. Stay away from the mussels. At least half were unopened. (How do you serve something so obviously poor quality?) Service was great. Wish they had some signature cocktails. A little pricey for what you get.

    We frequent York Street and always enjoy our time there. Our meal was fabulous, we had the halibut special and the bread basket. Our server was delightful, the only issue was service was very slow, it took a long time just to get the bread basket and almost an hour to get our meal. And they weren’t very busy. We arrived at 5:45 hoping for a quick meal since we were early. We didn’t leave u til 7:45, not because we lingered but because everything…even paying the check took so long. Never had this before at York Street, hope it was only an off night and not an indication of what’s to come under new management.

    We've been going to York Street Cafe for several years, but sad to say it is not living up to our expectations anymore. Food is only "ok" and when we were there recently we were told the fish special was mahi mahi, which my husband ordered. When he got his meal, it turned out to be salmon. We brought this to the attention of the server, who said she would check on it. Quite some time later she came to explain that unfortunately they had "run out" of the Mahi Mahi and so had substituted salmon. Our reservation was at 5:45pm so I wonder how the restaurant could have already run out of one of their specials?? As well, if that was the case she should have explained this to my husband and given him the option to change his order. And after the fact since none of that was missed, there was no recognition of an error or any offer to make it right. Sorry to say, we won't be going back.

    York Street has long been a Newport staple and it still lives up to its fame. Dinner was fabulous! So glad they now have a New York Strip on the menu. The stuffed chicken was excellent as well. Sides were delicious!

    Fantastic evening with a level of service I am not used to. Got to chat with the bartender, who came over to personally deliver our drinks, and the chef who came out of the kitchen to describe to us the Saffron sauce which was new to me.
