These were hearty portions, very well presented and tasted amazing. Unfortunately though, the ambience really let the whole dining experience down. The decor is outdated, the room was cold and dimly lit. Things such as dusty light fittings and broken plug sockets really grated on me. Not to mention the actual used dish rag which was left on our table. The price was reflected in the quality of food we received but for the experience it was really poor value. Personally I would rather sit in a seaside chippy and pay £7pp for fish, chips n mushy peas than sit in there again and pay £20pp.

Ultimately, I thought the food was a little disappointing at this price point, but that may be personal taste as I found everything a little over sauced, which might not be an issue for others. Also, despite taking advice on the menu, I ended up with two very similar fish for boyh starter and main, so I suggest going for more of a contrast. The people here are very welcoming, and I would definitely go back if in Scarborough again.

This is a classic throwback to another world. Its a tiny restaurant by comparison to many of the…read moremore modern places you'll find - only a couple of small rooms - and its not for everyone. The prices are more than you might expect to pay at a seaside restaurant (although still very reasonable) But this is no regular kind of seaside restaurant - a well kept secret which is worth every penny. Its a rarity for scarborough to have a place which has won awards and been recommended by respected reviewing bodies - Lanterna has been recommended by Which and won the official Italian restaurant of the Year Award. To back this up, testimonials from satisfied customers line the walls. A family run restaurant, service is friendly and never rushed. The food is magnificent. The wine list is extensive and authentic. The desserts are fantastic. Its not a place to visit as an everday experience, but as a treat, its unmissable. Remember to book in advance though - its only a small (around 30 seater) restaurant and is only open for a few hours per day.

Was met by a very pleasant member of staff who took our order, food was nice, even the mash even…read morethough it tasted powdery like instant mash, when the female came to take the plates I joked how nice the instant mash was, only to be met with a very abrupt 'I can assure you it isn't' as she grabbed the plates putting bits of uneaten salad on the table and on my trousers. Well that attitude just spoilt the whole meal, I told her she had just lost a christmas party booking due to her attitude to which she just said 'so'. What a shame and a let down to such a nice place and decent food. Wish Malton was still open where we never had a bad meal or attitude. Won't be going to St Nicholas St one again in Scarborough.

We have always enjoyed the food which is well presented, and very good quality and extremely tasty - the place is always immaculate (+proper table linen) and the staff very friendly.

It's not quite the China Rose (Bawtry) our No1 - but it's a great substitute now we live this side of the moors.

The seafront engages the history of the town and combines it with the modern touristy approach. Its beautiful long beaches are ideal to take the family for a walk in the winter or picnic and donkey ride in the summer. The shoreline is laden with shops and restaurants which although have been there for many years provide a modern twist to the vintage town. Harbour Bar is one these as seems to have been there forever yet keeps up with modern expectations and preferances. It fits in perfectly next to the harbour - selling ice creams at excellent prices. The quality of the icecream is a lot better than what you'd find in a bog standard ice cream van. The service isn't amazing yet it doesn't seem to matter as its very prompt and sooner or later you are enjoying your '99 strolling by the lifeboat station. In the winter when the weather isn't at its best you can always sit in and order something warm either a hot drink or hot food if ice cream isn't your fancy on a cold day! It's clean and modern yet represents the beauty of the town of Scarborough - definately recommended for all the family!

Promoting locally produced meats see the website at http://www.stepneyhillfarm.co.uk it's clear that they have the upmost respect for the animals they farm and bring to us in their cafe and restaurant dishes. We enjoyed a fabulous evening celebration meal beginning with a round of (the same!) delectable cured bacon, black pudding and poached egg and rocket starters, with a light honey and mustard dressing, then two of the party had steaks (one fillet, rare, and perfect! and one sirloin, well done, again perfect!) served with 'proper' chunky chips, tomatoes and mushrooms .. the other two of our party opted for the Confit Pork Belly with mustard mash and caramellised onion and gravy .. and Wow, the meat was soooo soft, moist and tasty, the rich gravy (a good amount) and mustard mash was just perfect. All meals were presented very well, it was a treat for the eyes and most importantly the stomach.. We had no space for dessert, but forced ourselves to try at least one, with a couple or so spoons to dig in! We went for the cherry and pear crumble, with custard and well. YUMMM ! is all i can say. It's bring your own wine and the prices for such fabulous cuts of meat, coupled with the great service (we didn't need to wait too long between courses and the waiter was attentive without being over the top) were more than reasonable. (Chef even sent us a complementary dish of mashed parsnip and carrot btw which was also excellent : ) The restaurant opened especially for our booking as they don't usually do Sunday nights, but two of the party were coming from Sheffield and wanted to try out the Gourmet Meat Company and i don't think you can ask for more than that. Thoroughly recommend this place! (and are doing, to all family and friends already.. we will be back!)
