The ground floor has a long bar on one side with open seating opposite. Then up a short flight of stairs is a Mezzanine open kitchen whih I think is great. The staircase then splits with one fork leading to an open eating area with great views to the harbour and the other leading to the toilets and a further small, sechluded seating area. The toilets by the way are bright, modern and spotless. The lighting throughout is just right neither too bright or too dark. I came with a friend who recommended the place to me. I immediately warmed to the owner and we were very well looked after. I am told that they do intend to expand the menu with the emphasis on Tapas style eating and traditional Spanish cuisine. At the moment the menu is rather limited but what they do they do very well. I think the best way to describe the food style is Meditteranean bistro. There are four choices of starter and Garlic bread. The starters are Calamares a la Romana, which we both had, crisp golden battered squid with a salad garnish and a delightful aioli with paprika. This is the first time I have had squid where the batter was actually crisp. Very, very nice. The squid was £7 which I thought was reasonable. Other starters on offer are smoked salmon and prawns in a lemon and pepepr dressing with salad also at £7. Then at £6 there is avocado and bacon salad and a tomato and mozzarella salad. Garlic bread £4.50 and with tomato an extra 50p. For mains the options are from the grill or pizza. There are five different types of pizza on offer, all cooked the proper way (thin and crispy in an Italian pizza oven). These range in price from £6.50 for a basic Margherita to £9.50 for Antons special which sounds fantastic with Jamon, chorizo and peppers. (having that next time!) On the grill one has a choice of sirloin,fillet, rump steak burger, chicken breast. All served with fries and a salad. The fillet steak is £19. I had this and asked for it blue. It was cooked perfectly for me and virtually fell to pieces. It came with a little pot of Bearnaise sauce. All the beef is sourced locally at Stepney Hill farm and matured for 21 days minimum. It oozed quality. There are three desserts on offer, fudge cake, coffee and walnut cake and ice cream. I had the fudge cake which was a delightful end to the meal. With our food we had a good bottle of Rioja at £18 and two espressos with brandy at the end. The total bill was £83 which I thought was very good. Service was friendly, fast and efficient. All in all I enjoyed this place very much and I shall definitely be back. They have placed their emphasis on quality and not quantity. So although I was still hungry I was very happy and not uncomfortably full. I think they've got the balance just right. In the future if they can truly hold on to their ideals and bring in a range of Tapas as well this would be fantastic. One other major bonus for this place is that they are injecting life and quality back into a tired and dog eared sea front. If we happen to get some sun this summer this will be the place I will want to relax in and watch the sun go down. Bravo I wish you every sucess.

For years, Scarborough was crying out for a Dominos. In the past, planning applications and various…read morered tape issues had held up any plans the company had to come to town, and when they chose this site, it seemed for a while it'd be the same story, but eventually everything was approved and Dominos duly opened One of the better takeaway pizza places which always seems to make pizzas and burgers with better quality ingrediants and more care than your standard takeaway joint. Their menu offers something a little different to the standard stuff - such as the meatball pizza - as well as all the standard pizzas you'd expect to find anywhere. In addition to those, you can also get a range of starters, desserts and burgers etc which are all made quickly while you wait and served hot. The prices are pretty much the norm, and they offer good priced meal deals too. If you prefer to stay at home, you can call them up to have your food delivered or even order via the internet. Highly recommended food.

In Scarborough you will be hard pressed to find any of the more noteworthy establishments open for a lunch time service. This of course plays into Pizza Hut's hands. Although exceedingly busy the staff are well motivated and tick all the boxes. I choose four stars because the staff although swamped with custom have a sense of urgency whilst maintaing a slight personal touch. This is more than less family orientated Italian chains such as ASK can claim and for such a location you can forgive easily any waiting you may endure. I would like to see more competition in the high street in this town to really show a comparison.

Pizza Hut actually isnt bad at all, and this branch is no exception to that. Its always been one of the more reasonably priced family restaurants - their all you can eat buffets in particular seem to have been around for years - and you're usually certain of getting a good meal. Like everywhere else in the town, its stupidly busy in season and occasionally at weekends, but its also the kind of place you never really have to wait long to get a table. Its very family friendly, and the menu tends to offer something for anyone, from pizza to pasta, which is always tasty if occasionally a little on the ordinary side. The service is always friendly and unhurried and its certainly a place which warrants repeat custom.

As I entered Flames at 2am on Sunday morning,through the smog in my brain caused by 8 hours of…read moreNewcastle Brown Ale abuse,I realized that not only had it been 17 years since I was last in there,it would also be the first time I had actually eaten any of their wares. Back in the mid 90's I spent pretty much every weekend in Scarborough because the future Mrs Z was studying there,and most saturday nights she and her friends would go and get their tea from there before hitting the pubs. I on the other hand am one of those people who doesn't like a belly full of food before filling it up even more with booze,so because of that,even though I had been in there about a dozen times I had never actually eaten anything. Being the drunken bums that we are,we opted for our go to staple,a pepperoni pizza and a garlic bread. Just before the guy boxed the pizza up he asked if we would like extra garlic. I never need to be asked twice if I want extra garlic. The guy then dipped a little brush in to a vat of melted garlic butter and proceeded to lovingly paint my pizza into a disc of orgasmic garlic perfection,he then did the same to the garlic bread! It doesn't get any better than that. When it came to eating it,not only was it garlicky enough to decimate several Transylvanian villages but the pepperoni was beautiful too,I have never had a take-away pizza like it before.If I had been served it in a resaurant then It would've been the place in the world! I am reliably informed that their burgers at top quality too,especially the,yep you guessed it,Garlic Burger...... Oh Flames,why the hell do you have to be 104 miles from my house?

There are ten types of differnet pasta dishes Napoli, Ragu, Arrabiatta, Carbonara, Funghi, Diavola, Contadina, Caprese, Pollo and Carbonara della casa. The choice of pasta is spaghetti or penne. All of these dishes are cooked with his own homemade sauces. I particularly enjoy the Caprese which comes with tomato, mozzeralla and home made pesto. Delicious. The cheapest is the Napoli at £3.50 through to the Carbonara della casa at 4.95. So for under a fiver one gets a heaving bowl of fresh tasty food. There are 17 different varieties of pizza ranging in price from 3.35 for a basic Margherita to 5.00 for a Maya which is a mix of meats. The crust is thin and crispy. He prepares the pizza to order and they are cooked in a proper pizza oven. Drinks wise the usual suspects are there but what makes this place special is the quality of the coffee beans he uses. The espresso is the best I have had in town. This is the perfect place to come for a light meal when in town and the greasy spoon does not appeal. It can get a little tight with just over room for twenty in there.There is a table outside but not in this weather. No toilets that I am aware of. A very Cosmopolitan crowd and very popular with the local Italian community which is always a good sign.
