Reviews in Scarborough

Absolutely perfect, attentive service. The large breakfast I ordered was huge, so be never seen anything like it. Despite arriving hungry with a big appetite, I only managed slightly more than half, but nothing went to waste as I have two pooches who were very grateful. It is not just about the quantity, the quality of the bacon, sausages, eggs were superb and absolutely delicious. Tables nearby said they’d be coming back and ordering this. Service with a smile, excellent food quality and plenty of it, what more could you ask for?

Food and staff are beyond comparison. We had food on Wednesday lunchtime and booked again for Friday lunch. Faultless.

We love the seafood chowder! We’re not local but if we’re in the York area we always take a trip to Scarborough and eat here. It tastes delicious, packed full of fish and the the sauce if full of flavour! My daughter had scampi then we shared coconut ice cream for desert. Try it, you won’t be disappointed!

Last Sat I have taken my wife to "Lookout on the Pier" to celebrate our 25th anniversary. I made a reservation, I asked for a table near to the window. Everything was exactly as I wanted. We had Scarborough crabs salad and hot platter of sea food + a bottle of white wine. Everything was perfect. We really enjoyed that evening. Very good value for money.

The views, service and food were exceptional. Fish, chips and mushy peas were superb and the chowder served in a cob was also yumptious and filling and I only had a small portion. Value for money and well worth a visit if you can get a reservation.

Amazing meal. Cooked to perfection. Great view from our window seat, watching the sun set. Will be visiting again and again. Love it.

We had an amazing dinner here. I had the crab starter, which was beautiful, and my husband really enjoyed his whitebait. We both then had the seafood chowder for our main and it was one of the nicest (and biggest!) meals we’ve eaten in a long time. The staff were very friendly, and the view over the harbour was beautiful as well. Highly recommend!

Exstensive Varied Menu Tasty well presented food with friendly staff and good value for money. We’ll certainly dine here again

5 star!

Every time we go to Scarborough we eat here. The food is always excellent and the staff are so friendly. We have recommended it to so many people. We only live 20 miles away so any excuse for a day out in Scarborough! It is quite small and cosy so you must book or risk being disappointed. Highly recommend.

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
