Me and my family visited Whitby yesterday and this restaurant for my mother’s birthday they had travelled from Bradford to our home in Driffield and we decided to have a day out in Whitby. My parents had been to your restaurant in the past and said it was lovely.
We placed our order and when it arrived we were all very disappointed with the quality of the food, my mum and husband had the steak pie which they both said had burnt bits and the pie seemed overcooked or maybe was a warm up also there was no veg just chips and some gravy? also the salad my daughter got alongside her fish and chips consisted of 1 small piece of lettuce and lemon? the fish looked large because it was long but very thin hardly no fish?? my 3 sausages did not looked cooked on the inside so were left. such a waste.
also 4 teas were ordered but only 2 tea bags in the jar of hot water to share between 4 people the teas cost over £6., the bread and butter was a extra which i did think would have come with the fish and chips not an extra cost.
when the bill arrived at £57 i nearly fell of my chair we were all very disappointed
one good point was the staff were very polite and helpful
we left annoyed at the food and the cost. to be honest i felt like i had just been robbed!

During a recent visit to Whitby i stumbled upon this hidden treasure. Myself and Grandma were most amazed by the pleasant smells coming from the restaurant. On arrival outside i was greeted by two plastic dolls. Inside however i was met by the restaurant manager a certain Lisa Notley who showed me to my rather plain wooden bench. As seen on the website this had a maritime feel and Grandma started to reminisce about the merchant navy. Lisa looked after us with drinks and then showed us the chalkboard menu. She seemed a little distracted and when asking for fish and chips she was confused seeming she didn't know the restaurant did them. A little disconcerting considering its a fish and chip shop. I was reassured when io saw through the kitchen at the master fryers at work. doing a merry jig as they battered and crisped the fish. Looking round i chuckled at the billy bass fish guarding an empty mayo bucket of tips. Obviously Lisa had been pulling in the pennies. All in all a fantastic visit and will definitely be coming back. Well done Lisa Notley!!!!!!

As a family we have visited this restaurant many times. The quality of the food is superb, and the presentation is of an equal standard. I wouldn't call it a cafe as such; as this conjures up an idea of greasy spoon. The decor is traditional with a maritime theme. There is another quite famous cafe restaurant a little down the street where the queues are infamous. i have also eaten there. I would advise that the staff on the occasions I have visited have been rude and unhelpful, the food is average and the queues are unreasonable and, in my opinion, unwarranted. Visit the Quarterdeck on your next visit to Whitby and I am sure you will enjoy the food and the views out to sea.
