  “Really nice and polite staff, very courteous. Excellent food and they accomodated us as we had a dog too. My only little gripe was the fish pie stated it had prawns in it but i didnt find one. In fairness when we were asked if all was ok, my wife answered. I mentioned it when paying the bill and was told that he would speak to the kitchen and for me to wait. So with that in mind i said no mither but put prawns in next time ! Not a complaint as i didn't want to give the fish pie back. It was delicious and well presented. The fish and chips were excellent too. Fish pie with garden peas, 2 cod and chips, 1 mushy peas, 1 curry sauce, bottle of Italian Pinot and a fresh orange was £102.”

  “Wow the very best Fish & Chips I've had in years. So nice that the accompanying tartare sauce was home made you really can tell the difference along with mushy peas made from marrowfat peas, again the taste is so different. The fish was so fresh and perfect chipped potatoes. I would revisit and recommend. A little more than you would pay for a much less quality elsewhere. We had a small wait for a table but only down to the size of our party that was eating. I would recommend booking in advance, don't miss this Whitby experience!”

  “🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Delicious food, the Oyster tasted so fresh and lovely, the Mussel was creamy and tender, the Cod fish was crispy, and the Chips were the best chips ever, very soft inside but crispy on the outside. The homemade Lotus Bischoff Cheesecake was served with sauce and ice cream, it’s the perfect dessert after the meal. The service was friendly and welcoming, all the staff were lovely and polite. The interior design was spacious and elegant, every furniture and decoration was so cute and beautiful, the window view next to the harbour was a bonus. Great location right next to the beach. This place deserves to be award winning and worth the price, love the restaurant’s name too. It was amazing dining experience and definitely recommend to anyone and wish to come back in the future. 💕 Must visit this restaurant if you come to Whitby 🥰”

  “Tried the Lobster and Seafood Pie along with hot chocolate from Fisherman’s Wife, Whitby, and it was a real treat. The flavours were beautifully balanced, with fresh seafood and a deliciously rich filling that made every bite enjoyable. A comforting and satisfying dish that was both flavourful and delicious. Definitely worth trying if you’re a seafood lover!”

  “Authentic, beef dripping, delicious harrod and fish, and shrimps and chips, with a magnificent sea view in cosy little Withby. The ultimate luxury experience of fish and chips (at still reasonable prices).”

  “Not a great expert on fish n chips so take with a pinch of salt ( and vinegar). Thought the small haddock looked bigger than the medium! Fish was good. Not absolutely impressed with chips- have had tastier. Service was excellent and the view terrific.”

  “The small haddock and chips was perfect portion size for a lunch meal. Both dishes cooked in beef dripping and the gravy 😋 oh my god. Best gravy ever. Gave me memories of my mamma's sunday dinners. Can't wait to come again. Defo recommend. Lovely view out into the sea as well.”

  “The food here was top class. We had the moules mariniere which were cooked in a really nice sauce with samphire and it was not overly salty . I had THE best scallops that I’ve had in the UK. They were cooked perfection and still had their sweetness. My other half had the crab Waldorf salad, which he said was perfect. I had the swordfish which again was cooked to perfection and was Creatively put together. I would totally recommend this place for fantastic seafood. The staff were also friendly and really helpful. We got great service.”

  “We visit here every so often, and the food is generally good. The service has always been excellent, and the stunning sea view really enhances the dining experience. We usually go for the fish and chips along with a seafood special, paired with a cappuccino or latte. On this visit, the razor clams special was particularly delicious—the white wine and olive oil sauce worked beautifully with the sourdough. The fish and chips were, as always, very good, with a well-cooked batter and tasty chips. I also ordered a side of garden peas and new potatoes. The peas were a bit on the firm side and somewhat underwhelming, while the new potatoes appeared unseasoned and lacked presentation—they tasted much as they looked. Overall, it’s a place we’ll return to, especially for the view and reliably decent food.”

  “I had the king scallops cooked in garlic butter and my partner had the battered cod cheeks special with a sticky glaze. The scallops were beautifully cooked, but I didn't get much garlic flavour or seasoning. The cod cheeks were a little oily but the glaze was nice. I had the mussels with the samphire on the side (neither the menu nor the waitress told me there was already samphire with the mussels dish, so I spent unnecessary money for that). The mussels were big and beautiful, but the garlic and cream sauce was so overwhelmingly salty that it became unbearable to eat. My partner had half a lobster with crevettes on top. The lobster and crevettes were cooked beautifully and were enjoyed. I had half an Inch's cider and my partner had a couple local beers which were nice. The views were fantastic if you were sat by the window, which we were. The restaurant itself was very loud, but comfortable. The pricing was expensive for what you got.”
