Ambiente Tapas - York

Superb! So many lovely dishes on the menu that we had to come back the following night so that we could try more. Nothing disappointed. Food was excellent and so was the service. If you have never had tapas before, order a few dishes, eat them and then order more. The staff are happy for you to do this and makes the meal more enjoyable. Spend as long as you want and savour the food. Try a sherry flight, excellent value for money, goes well with tapas.

I dined here with a friend recently, and ordered the ‘Tiras de Pollo Especiado’ as well as another chicken dish. When the dish arrived i bit into the first piece of chicken and it just didn’t taste right, and the texture was off. The second piece i decided to cut in half to check, and found it was pink inside. I left this piece to one side and cut the third fourth piece of chicken in half and found both pieces were RAW with bits of blood in it. This immediately made me feel sick, especially after eating the first piece, and put me off the remaining chicken dish. I told the waitress who apologised and took the dish away, and also took the payment off the bill for the one dish. However, for two days after this experience i was extremely sick, with diarrhoea, stomach pain, vomiting due to food poisoning. For anyone booking this restaurant please check your food has been cooked properly! And for anyone who works at the restaurant that see’s this review please keep in mind that uncooked chicken can carry Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria and can make your customers extremely sick like i was!!

Food was delicious but luke warm at best. We had lunch, 6 dishes between us which was plenty. Service was average and we didn't really want to leave a tip but felt pressured as it was added to the bill.

From the moment of booking online which was so easy to entering the place offered fantastic customer service. Brilliant and professional customer service from all employees, we had requested a corner window seat and got just that. The food is all cooked fresh and it’s well worth the wait from when it’s cooked to arriving. Your given a two hour window from your booking time and your need it as you won’t want to leave and you will need to time to appreciate and enjoy your food. Highly recommended anything off the menu and when we do return in the future I’m sure we’re try something different as it all looks fantastic and fully deserves a perfect 5 5. Well done

Honestly the best tapas I’ve had outside of Spain. The food was extremely well cooked and presented, and the cocktails we had were amazing!
