A fantastic restaurant in the centre of Harrogate - tucked away and very private, but food is delicious and the service warm and friendly. If you like fish, this is the place to visit! We'll definitely be back for one of their platters on a sunny summer's evening!
Perfect. This was just the ticket.... delicious food (seafood is the speciality, but there were non-seafood vegetarian options too) and friendly staff. I loved the decor, the background music and really enjoyed the lunchtime menu. I had the smoked scallop and crab terrine to start, followed by the delicious fish pie, topped with a generous layer of crispy cheese and a crisp white wine.
My wife and I love this place, always excellent quality seafood and fantastic service. My only problem is that the Dover Sole is so delicious and always cooked perfectly, that it makes it virtually impossible to not order it. I didn't resist this time either and was not disappointed. My wife went for the cold seafood platter and we paired with a lovely bottle of Furleigh English sparkling wine. If you want to treat yourself and/or others, you can't make a better choice
This place was recommended to me, and went there just for the seafood platter, and absolutely loved it. Lovely place, lovely atmosphere, and oh that seafood! Everything super fresh and tasty, and really great value for that quality and amount of food. Lovely wine selection, too, and staff were so friendly and flexible with our booking. Absolutely recommended!
Fantastic sea food - best place we’ve ever been to, indeed. Stumbled upon it last year when visiting relatives - couldn’t wait to return here this year, had dinner twice. Couldn’t be better!
