Most of the staff were helpful and friendly, the food was nice (but somewhat overpriced). I did think the vegetarian choice was very poor. I enquired about a vegetarian sandwich (eg cheese very simple to do), I was informed they did not do them and I could have a cheese omelet or sweet potato curry. The chicken club sandwiches which the others in my party had were apparently very nice. I left feeling hungry.

A great spot for lunch whilst out shopping. Service was excellent, staff were welcoming and food was great.

It?s such a shame that I can only give this little gem in the centre of York 5 stars, it deserves double that! We?ve just finished a wonderful lunch, the best cheese & spinach soufflé I?ve ever tasted followed by Hake, Mussels in a Parsley Cream, gorgeous. As always we had excellent Service from Everyone, I?d urge anyone who?s visiting this historic city to visit Cafe 21 on the top floor of Fenwicks to experience top notch food and service from Amy and her team.

Best Sunday roast in York. Our first visit at Cafe21... The restaurant is very attractive. Excellent food and great service. We will come back soon

Waited over 20 minutes for two cold drinks (one a glass of tap water). Omelettes were cold and underwhelming. The salad was boring and the chips are obviously the cheapest frozen ones they can buy. Cost £33 for two people. When we queried the slow service we were told they were short staffed, although the place wasn't busy. If when we arrived we had been told that service was going to be considerably delayed we would have gone elsewhere and paid less for parking. Will not be returning!

Loved the ambiance and menu, albeit vegetarian menu could have expanded to burgers, toasties etc. Unfortunately the service was incredibly slow, whilst the restaurant wasn?t busy and we had to keep asking for condiments, drinks and forgotten food. A shame as the reviews had sounded so positive. Sorry

Nice but slow and pricy and my ketchup and chips were forgotten. my meal was nice and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. This didn?t ammend the fact the service was at snails pace.

We visited as a family with children and grandparents, so needed a sizeable table to seat all for brunch. The waitress / cafe manager greeting (!) us was unbelievably rude, snapping at us that a table with bar stools was the "only option" for a slightly larger group with two almost 80-year olds! No sign of hospitality, no attempt to make us welcome or comfortable - obviously there would have been other options to seat an old person comfortably but the manager had her rules .... I'm surprised we were even served at all, such a cold and careless service. Food overpriced. Nice space, but we won't be coming back.

Such an amazing restaurant to visit!! Normally we have afternoon tea here as it is exceptional and one of, if not THE best in and around York. On this occasion we decided to try something different and wow it did not disappoint. Dan, our lovely server recommended the Wild Mushroom Tagliatelle, Parmesan and Parsley. It was absolutely amazing!! I would highly recommend this dish. The perfect portion size and the flavours were spot on! I finished off the meal with a pear frangipane (another recommendation from Dan) and fresh mint tea. The service as always was amazing and the food was delicious. I cannot wait to visit again. Thank you cafe 21 for the amazing hospitality and of course, fabulous food!

Excellent food...good sized portions...well presented. The pork was cooked to perfection and the apple cheesecake was to die for! My wife had mushroom risotto followed by (heavy!) chocolate brownie..delicious!

We enjoyed our latte accompanied by the Carrot and Walnut cske and a portion of Sachertorte, which were so delicious. The service we received throughout our visit was excellent. The quality of both the coffee and cakes was excellent and we enjoyed them whilst relaxing in the calming ambience of Cafe 21. We are already planning a return visit to have afternoon tea when the festive menu is introduced in 22 days time. If you are in York and are looking for a guaranteed lovely dining experience, we can thoroughly reccommend Cafe 21 at Fenwick's

This Fenwick's has been a favourite for a few years for me now, as it stocks many designer brands. It is not local (a 60 mile round trip) so went with the intention of a few purchases.\\nAs it takes me sometime to get there I do like to have a good browse.\\nThis trip was awful, the shop security (undercover make and female) were constantly watching me/following me that it became so uncomfortable that I made a small purchase and left. I later in the week had a much more pleasant trip to the Leeds city centre.\\nWatch me on camera all day, but please do not make a very honest person feel like a thief when visiting your store.
