This place can be wonderful .but it can also be average .the lobster is wonderful The steaks can be hit and miss .but I do keep returning

On behalf of our large rowdy Xmas party I would like to thank all the staff for their fabulous service and attention to detail. From catering to specific dietary requirements to memorising individual’s varied drinks orders throughout the meal. The personal service was truly outstanding and all were more than impressed with the food but more so the atmosphere and staff. Highly recommend, especially for large parties. Special mention to Christian for top service from booking to settling the bill.

We hadn't booked but only had to wait 30 minutes for a table for 2. Drinks at the bar were ok. Got settled in by waitress(very pleasant)Starters were huge. I had fish gouging with sweet chili sauce and the Mrs had a deconstructed Prawn Cocktail. We were pretty full after that but then came my veal in a cream sauce, enough chips and veg for 2 people and the Mrs had chicken stoganoff. Plenty filling however the veal was a bit tough in places.No room for dessertWhen bill came they had included a service charge which wound me up so I asked them to remove it. I like to decide whether to tip or not. I did!!Very nice but just 20quid to expensive

Pre booked for a Saturday evening. Wasn't overly busy although there was a party of around 10 in.The starters arrived after a thirty minute wait. Whitebait with salad on a red hot plate.Partner had Garlic prawns shelled, but not de veined, slottened in garlic butter, again on a red hot plate.The waitress took our plates away and proceeded to scrape the plates into a bucket behind the bar instead of taking them to the kitchen.After another 20 minute wait, the mains were a trio of fish. A largish piece of Salmon and two of the smallest fillets I've ever seen which were overcooked with edges burnt. I'd asked for sauteed potatoes and these were also burnt. Again the plates were red hot. Totally inedible. Sent it back, paid for the wine the starters and left.There are plenty of places to eat and I would suggest, on our experience, that you eat elsewhere.

Though I live in Scarborough I have had the pleasure of dining here over the years with both friends and family. Service and food have always been flawless.
