Reviews in Scarborough

Unusual building with a fair amount of history behind it. A fair challenge for James the new manager, but one that will be relished. Excellent pub carvery and good value too a trademark of Mitchell & Butler. Looking forward to this one.

I'm a frequent visitor to Scarborough but had never visited Restaurant 55 so whilst passing it on Saturday decided to give it a try. The menu states that the 55 special which is fish, chips, mushy peas and bread and butter is £5.95 bargain, there was however a large option underneath for an extra £2 and being rather hungry we decided to go for this one! The food arrived quite quickly and the portion was indeed large. However, I'm not too sure what they put in their batter but the chips just tasted bizarre, I'm sure some people wouldn't mind the taste but it wasn't for me nor my partner. The fish was large but was covered in a very thin and greasy layer of soggy batter not how fish and chips should be at all. Also the mushy peas were minted but only slightly which made them taste quite bizarre too. We did try and mention to the waitress that the food had been far from good but she wasn't at all interested and just said "oh dear!" All in all the worst fish and chips I think I have ever had and then when the bill came seemingly the tea and bread and butter weren't included in the price...£9 for fish, chips, mushy peas tea and one slice of bread is far from a bargain. Needless to say we won't be going back. One plus point though the view from the restaurant is quite spectacular such a shame the food can't match it.

been a few times great food, excellent service, not very busy, reasonably priced.

I love this place. It's friendly and the food is superb. I visit every time I come up to Scarborough.

While it does get a bit chaotic inside at times, the food here is always good, especially the honeycomb cheesecake which I love. Always worth a visit.

Very rapid but rather impersonal service. Of four diners and 2 courses only one, the goats cheese starter was up to standard. Mussles notably over cooked with others dishes remarkably bland. A disappointing experience. Wine was however good.

THIS IS CERTAINLY WORTH MORE THAN ONE VISIT THE VIEW IS OUTSTANDING AND THE FOOD MODRATLY PRICED AND WORTH WAITING FOR

We went to Kam Sang for my father-in-laws birthday. The services was okay, however the food was poor. They can go anything you like provide It felt to me that they just wanted to give you really average/poor food and charge top price. We all felt ill the next day after the meal and my 10 year old son was put of Chinese food for at least two months. I think there are much better Chinese restaurants out there.

This place is appalling please avoid it at all costs. The fish and chips were the worst I've had anywhere ever! The fish was just slightly bigger than a goldfish that had then been fried in a big vat of rancid oil before being laid on top of some barely cooked chips. The mushy peas had been minted presumably to hide whatever dubious taste they originally had. The staff are unfriendly and unhelpful and didn't offer any explanation or compensation for the culinary treat they'd just whipped up. There is also a big sign outside though that says 'enjoy the view'...this should be amended to 'enjoy the view...as the food is terrible'.

the service was brilliant - and rather helpful. very reasonably priced

it was very nice

The food was outstanding, so much so we went twice in the same week. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

I have eaten at Florio's several times and regularly visit their sister restaurant "Marco Polo's" in Driffield which is of the very same high standards. The menu is extensive and the food is cooked in front of your eyes adding to the ambience. A thoroughly enjoyable experience at a realistic price.

i was impressed to see they were serving fresh locally caught haddock, cooked in traditional beef dripping. this is probably why they were the nicest fish and chips i have had the pleasure of eating in years. i was surprised to find that there was baby changing facilities in the gents toilets which i thought was a bonus(well done).

Entry is through a conservatory area and leads into a L shaped bar and dining room.. The decor and atmosphere is truly country cottage without being "twee"." Friendly welcome and great food beautifully cooked, presented and served.

Floris is the best place i have ever eaten. the food is just absolutely divine. it certainly puts all the other restaurants that i have eaten in to shame. the best food to order there for me definitely would be the Garlic bread with tomato and the Tagliatelle Gamberetti, absolutely Gorgeous you will love it if you went. and to top it all off the price is nothing i couldn't believe it so we go quite regular now.

This is a regular stop for us whenever we visit Scarborough. Situated on the sea front with large parasols, palm trees and an outdoor dining area you could kid yourself you were holidaying abroad! Upstairs the large windows give a great view out to sea and as you eat your meal you can watch the sun set and the boats bobbing on the sea. Great for family dining or in the evening fabulous for a romantic meal. Reasonably priced and beautiful food. You get alot of food for your money and particularly recommend the pasta in chicken and mushroom sauce (can't remember the Italian name for this!). Beautiful pizza's freshly made and if you eat downstairs you can watch your meal being cooked which my son enjoyed. Service has always been fantastic, friendly and happy to help, courteous and concerned that everything is ok. Definitely recommend 'ASK' next time you are in Scarborough......we absolutely love it and it helps make our short breaks memorable.

I have to say that I was am very impressed with this restaurant, the fish was the best I have tasted in a long time and the service was superb, very traditional and very seaside, great views and friendly service, what more can you ask!! JS
