Abbey Wharf in Scarborough

Great experience at abbey wharf , very large relaxed restaurant and bar, perfect for family and informal dining. Great views over the water from a large balcony that would be amazing in summer. Food all tasty and good , staff friendly and helpful.

Not a bad place for one time stand. But the prices weren't apropriate to portions. When I asked about fork and knife because there were none, lady looked at me like she wants to murder me for even speaking for her. Beer was average. Even food wasn't bad tasting but I wouldn't visit this restaurant again.

We ate at Abbey Wharf on 29/03/22 and loved every minute. The food was absolutelyincredible, the staff were attentive and friendly, and the view is lovely. I also love that the fish and meat are all local and just so fresh!I am surprised that there isn't an option to order starters ,and that the light bites arrive with the mains but it didn't deter us and it was yummy to pick at it all!

Lovely food, good prices, fast service and dog friendly.

The restaurant is big and bright and we found a seat easily on a Friday in February. We had the steak which was nice enough but average. We also had the fish cake. If visiting I would advise to probably just stick to the fish dishes. Dog friendly until 9pm

We went for lunch at the abbey wharf fish restaurant located near the bottom of the Abbey steps overlooking the harbour , there is no waiter service ,you have to find a table with an allocated number and order at the bar , which is fine but only two people serving on taking food orders as well as bar drinks orders , The staff were pretty grumpy and the tables were sticky , overall the restaurant was clean as were the toilets , We ordered cod and chips twice and two glasses of wine , The food was tasty and fresh but the drinks seemed overpriced , overall I can recommend this restaurant for lovely fish and chips but with a canteen feel , also the restaurant is dog friendly .

This is a difficult review. The place itself was beautifully looked after, inside and out. Clean, bright, nice seating inside and outside on the balcony giving great views across the harbour.The food looked amazing if you like seafood (I was drinking coffee).However, myself and a friend did not get that warm welcoming feeling from some staff.....it was just a little off? I can't put my finger on it, but it was enough for us not to want to go back. Maybe they were having an off day?

Place was really nice and the food was good, although it was a shame because we could only find the menu online and only came here because my girlfriend loves seafood and they had a whole page for seafood items but upon visiting they informed us they had a reduced menu. I’m not sure if it was suppliers or anything but it was a disappointment as we probably would have gone elsewhere for more variety. Otherwise it’s a gorgeous place and great for a drink on the outdoor terrace. Prices are a bit steep but that’s what you pay for next to the harbour.

Called in here twice while we were staying just outside Whitby. We were lucky enough to get seats on the balcony over looking the estuary on a gloriously sunny day. Brilliant location. Only gripe is the ques at the bar were huge and didn't go anywhere quick.

Food was really good and a great selection of drinks. Sadly that's all the positive things I can say. On website it says you can book the restaurant but outside is unreserved. We tried to book the restaurant but it was full so was hoping to sit outside. On arrival we were told no sitting outside for food yet we can sit in restaurant and take drinks out after. The bar man I just don't know how to describe. Brain dead and needed slapping with a fish from the kitchen to wake him up. 3 times I'd asked for orange juice no ice. He said every time ice in your cordial even put cordial on the bill. No choice for table service and had to get your own cutlery. Nasty packets of salt and pepper no pride or standard. What was even worse was they said I could not have a starter. I could order a starter but it would be served with the main so ultimately my meal had gone cold by time I ate it all. We were not asked at any stage how things was and payment was up front I do normally like to talk through issues rather than rant public a out themThe food was great very fresh and with a stunning view. But the service needs to be better for the price charged and the staff just need to switch on. Would like to try it again however as I said the food was great
