My personal recommendations at the Left Bank

After graduating from Johnson & Wales University, I moved to York and had a hard time finding a restaurant that was not a chain restaurant. Bob and I made a reservation for our anniversary at the Left Bank and I think I almost cried with joy as we enjoyed our anniversary meal. The food was perfectly prepared, the sauces were fresh, the flavor combinations were innovative and the presentation was picture perfect. Chef Sean has continued with the high bar of excellence placed by Chef David Albright and continues to provide the culinary experience that my husband and I love.

If I were to choose from the menu at the Left Bank, these would be my selections. June 2018

• Mushroom Toast ~ mushroom medley / Calabrian cheese spread / arugula / red wine reduction
