This is a so nice restaurant! Nice waiters and waitresses providing the friendly service! ( although we spoke not good English, they can understand us~ ) And the fish & fries are so tasty, fish is so fresh! The environment is so beautiful and it’s suitable to take photos and enjoy the sea views! ( the toilets are so clean!) but remember to book the seats in advance during the weekends, that’s so popular ~ best wish!
We loved it here! Excellent service and staff are lovely. We had toast and marmalade for breakfast, simple I know but is was delicious. We sat out on the balcony with a view of the harbour, fabulous. We will definitely visit again.
Fantastic Seafood, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. Chairs are comfy. Lots of choice of seafood, meats, vegan etc. Kids menu something for everyone even small portions. Great find will be back.
Fresh seafood. Great price. Haddock was meh Hot seafood platter was a great choice of you don't want lobster Chowder was ridiculous meaning you get a lot for the price! Crab cocktail fresh and no shells. Excellent service from the young 16 year old lad ... Great asset to the team (Haddock was a add on afterwards)
Super friendly and attentive staff members. We did not have a reservation, however we were very lucky to get a table as they were at capacity. Food and drinks were served without long wait. The fish, oysters and the mussels were fresh and tasty. Very friendly atmosphere on the pier in Scarborough. Highly recommended.
