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
Diners consistently praise the riverside location, with the grill night steak singled out as well cooked and tender, alongside a well-regarded Sunday lunch. Service draws repeated warmth, including staff accommodating a family birthday with balloons. One reviewer's only complaint was the house wine, calling it fruity, sweet and uninspiring. Another visit was more low-key, simply drinks followed by food.

“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”
