A family run restaurant with a good choice of good food and reasonably priced. We ate mid week and it was fairly quiet, especially at this time of the year but we all enjoyed our evening there

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.

We had a comfortable and relaxing time on a fairly busy evening. The staff were friendly but not pushy. The food was good and especial mention for the steak and ale pie which was excellent.

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!

My sea bass was delicious but the pie ,the pastry was very hard and the meat inside was overcooked. I would have mentioned it but they didn't want to make a fuss.

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.
