About Bosun's Restaurant

Bosun's Restaurant sits on The Riverfront in York, positioned right in front of the water, and runs on a walk-in basis with table service throughout. The menu spans 158 dishes alongside a drinks list that includes Margarita, Bumbu, and both Captain Morgan Dark and Spiced, plus a Bosun's Raspberry Lemonade for non-cocktail drinkers. Sunday lunch is served on that day, and on certain occasions the restaurant holds a grill night built around steak. A meal for two comes with a bottle of house wine included. With no reservation system in place, seating is taken as guests arrive at the riverside room.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers single out the riverside location most, calling it beautiful and right in front of the river. Friendly, attentive service comes close behind, and one family birthday was accommodated with balloons. One reviewer praises a very tender, well cooked steak on grill night and a good Sunday lunch. The one complaint is the house wine that came with a meal for two, described as fruity, sweet and uninspiring.

    “Been here many times and the food and dining experience is getting even better over time. Sunday lunch is never my favourite meal but Bosun’s do a very good one but on this occasion it was an early evening meal on what they call grill night. The steak we had was well cooked and very tender. The meal for two came with a bottle of house wine and this is the first time I would complain about anything here. Bosun’s should be finding a special Red (and white) wine to have as their house wine and this was fruity, sweet and very uninspiring”
