The food was excellent but a limited choice. The staff were friendly and efficient. The restaurant itself was very nice. The only negative was the price of the drinks. I expected them to cost slightly more than average due to the venue but feel they were very over priced so much so that we chose to eat somewhere else.

2x pizza’s 3x wines & 4x pints of larger £111. Very very expensive! Not sure if we was charged wrong but we won’t be returning! Have stretch pizza’s (great) cheap cheese! Very disappointing. However the waitresses was lovely.

Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. The menu was limited, particularly for the gluten free and vegetarian people in our group. Portions were on the small side for the prices and the vegetable risotto only contained peas. Nevertheless we enjoyed our meal and family time. Would like to see the takeaway pizza menu return along with a gluten free pizza.

I found it not easy to book a reservation online for the John Paul Jones. I only managed to do this after ringing the reception at the Bay, Filey where a very friendly and efficient receptionist emailed a link to me. The staff and atmosphere at the restaurant were very good. The menu could have done with more vegetarian/ vegan options. and also more gluten free options. I felt that the food was well prepared and tasty on the whole, but portions were on the small side for their cost, such as the fish and chips and pizzas and childrens' pizzas.

We came in January and the food was amazing. A varied menu and everything was done to a great standard. We have come again two months later and the menu has been shortened ‘to provide better quality and locally sourced ingredients’. Unfortunately the food has gone so far down hill instead of eating here every night as we did in January we have preferred to go further a field or eat in the apartment. Small menu and poor quality food has spoilt was was a fantastic pub. Staff were also less accommodating than previously and did t actually listen to what we were wanting. Overall very disappointing

We ate here twice during our stay as it was convenient with a good atmosphere. Food choice was somewhat limited and quality disappointing for the price. The beans and peas served with the kids meals were overcooked/dried out. My fish and chips was tasty but would've been more enjoyable with a proper sized portion of mushy peas rather than a small spoonful of pea puree. Staff were friendly and welcoming but very busy/ short staffed as I had to keep getting up to ask for condiments, drinks, dessert and the bill. Food quality and service were similar in both visits.

Advise to book, especially if you want a table with your dog. Table service was excellent all staff were really good. The food was lovely and tasty but it did feel a little expensive and the menu was not as extensive as previously. Even with this said we had a lovely evening.

Menu really limited , and no longer serving pizzas which is very disappointing, the take away option seems to be removed, again a shame Love the fact dogs are allowed , however positioned all down one end with minimal space was not a pleasant experience for us or our quiet elderly spaniel Food whilst limited was hot and tasty, service good and staff really friendly

We enjoyed our food. Nice and fresh. The atmosphere was spoiled by many yapping dogs. It felt cold and clinical. Lighting the fires would make it much more ambient.

Had a wonderful evening meal and lunch the following day. Staff couldn't do enough for you. Really attentive and friendly. I would say though that this pub caters for couples and grown up families as we couldn't see any children's menus but there were small children being catered for. Those with dogs were allowed to bring them into the restaurant and were very well behaved. It's a nice little boutique restaurant and the food was lovely. The special was mussels which I don't like. I'm a prawn and crab lover which I would have had if offered. Now our holiday is over we are saving for our next visit and will definitely return to this pub to eat thank you to the staff who made it a lovely relaxing experience.
