Absolutely underrated! This bar and especially the cook deserves a lot of credit. The staff was overly friendly and helpful (we forgot to ask for his name, it was the friendly guy who served us on the 25th of January, around 6 pm). The food was better than in all the restaurants we've eaten in here in Scarborough. Big portions with great taste and an even better price. We will definitely come back.
The combos 2 for £17 is amazing. The food honestly surprised me, it was delicious and our waiter went above and beyond for us. Might not be perfect everyday but today it was a 5/5 for me. Would definitely recommend!
Fab bar and nightclub. Food delicious and very reasonable. Bar staff kind, friendly and approachable. Would definitely recommend a visit or two
Food was delicous, cocktails were fab and the staff were lovely. However no toilet roll in any of the cubicles and untidy bathrooms let it down, would have been 4/5 stars otherwise.
Delicious food & drinks. Would definitely go back. The cocktails are especially good. The decor in the place and the bathrooms are beautiful, the service is fast. Overall a lovely place!
