Thoroughly enjoyed an evening meal here, 16.05.25. Salmon cooked to perfection and Lamb that melted in the mouth, good choice of wines, great service and very nice surroundings, would definitely recommend.

First class service and food. Not an extensive menu but specials on board too along with flabreads. Maybe add a chicken dish and background music? Food tasty and plentiful served by very pleasant waiters. Did feel wine we had was on the higher end (£36) and starter (£12.95) but we ordered them! First time visitors and will return. Spread the word for this family business, great addition to Helmsley's eateries.

Terrific menu, with several fish dishes, and specials board. Food is excellent quality; perfectly presented, and delicious.
Decor and tables nicely laid out, creating a welcoming and enjoyable ambiance.
Fantastic service; friendly, attentive. They are clearly passionate about their business and want customers to enjoy dining with them.
I’ve already returned, so that’s a recommendation in itself.

The only mark down was for something out of Coopers control. A large table of young guys obviously having a great time but rather loudly!
Otherwise a full 10, the food was fabulous, well priced and lovely attentive staff. Thank you for coming to Helmsley!

We had a lovely evening at the new Coopers restaurant. Family run and really friendly . Scollop starter was beautifully . Unfortunately the tomato and mozzarella salad was much too salty and garnished with too many sundried tomatoes which was a strange one. Just wanted a light,fresh starter. My main course was fabulous, stuffed chicken breast in mushroom sauce. Lovely flavours. Thought the drinks were a little expensive. Would definitely eat here again.

The 8 score was because we found the chairs uncomfortable, and they were rather too low for the table. Some cushions could solve this. Otherwise the Cooper family have done a super job. Our beef daube was very tasty and the wine was very good, as were the young staff.

Enjoyed our meal & would return. However there are a few aspects that could be improved. There were no mature front of house staff and maybe lacking in experience and customer interaction, one side order failed to arrived.Wine was lovely but very expensive for a glass.
