I had the king scallops cooked in garlic butter and my partner had the battered cod cheeks special with a sticky glaze. The scallops were beautifully cooked, but I didn't get much garlic flavour or seasoning. The cod cheeks were a little oily but the glaze was nice. I had the mussels with the samphire on the side (neither the menu nor the waitress told me there was already samphire with the mussels dish, so I spent unnecessary money for that). The mussels were big and beautiful, but the garlic and cream sauce was so overwhelmingly salty that it became unbearable to eat. My partner had half a lobster with crevettes on top. The lobster and crevettes were cooked beautifully and were enjoyed. I had half an Inch's cider and my partner had a couple local beers which were nice. The views were fantastic if you were sat by the window, which we were. The restaurant itself was very loud, but comfortable. The pricing was expensive for what you got.
An amazing dining experience. We haven't been to Whitby in 16 years and ate here previously, the revisit was even better. The cod and chips and fish cakes as well as the local ale in a great setting on the coast made it an amazing dining experience.
This is my second time visiting this place and having their signature Fish Pie. It never makes me disappointed with their quality food and respectful service. All the prices are also reasonable for what we get. I will definitely visit the place again and again.
Really gorgeous meal, sea view, delicious oysters, scallops and mussels. Service was great, very patient with our toddler too. Bit pricey but would recommend
We pre-booked and were delighted to be seated in a cosy booth with stunning sea views, such a treat. Ordered the mussels with chips and a crisp bottle of white wine, and it was absolutely spot on. The mussels were fresh and flavourful, reminding me of the moules-frites we had in France, possibly even better! Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience relaxed and memorable. Highly recommend for seafood lovers looking for a scenic and satisfying meal.
