Came for our 10th wedding anniversary back in July (taken me a while to remember to post a review). The meal was absolutely fantastic and the hospitality even better. We were lucky to get in on the Jazz evening which made the atmosphere really special too. Service was very professional yet relaxed in a typical French way so we got to enjoy a great 3 hours of food and entertainment. I must admit we were left rather tipsy with the multiple very generous free glasses of champagne for our anniversary. We'll definitely be back when we're sans children!
What a fabulous restaurant, the atmosphere is straight out of Paris, amazing decor. The staff are brilliant, our waiter Daqwan had such a pleasant friendly manner and his smart appearance made a great first impression. Thank you Daqwan, great to meet you. The owner of the premises also visited each table a fabulous fella who made us feel as though our custom was valued. We also bumped into him in his French cocktail bar five minutes walk away, again well worth a visit. The star of the show was the food though, indulgent and delicious, worth every penny and for the quality you are getting the price was very reasonable. The scallop starter in particular was a dish that i never wanted to end. If you're visiting Whitby and you want a nice romantic meal with your wife then don't hesitate to book a table here, you wont regret it.
Popped in for just a coffee last night, liked the place so much we booked for a meal tonight. The food is stunning, but the banter from other guests and the team gives Velveteen an extra charm (thanks Andrea and Brett). Loved it all
We visited to get out of the rain and it was lovely. Such a tribute to France and French stars of the past. Sadly it wasn't busy but it deserved to be. I'd go back and enjoy a glass of champagne or 2 if I wasn't driving. Well worth a visit. Really nice young lady served us.
By far the best meal i have ever had, every course was exceptional, and the service was excellent, we came for our 25th wedding anniversary, thank you.
