Ivy House in Scarborough

Very desypointed,the tea pot the cups and everything was very darty very expenssive,don't go there 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮

Went for a walk along the prom and decided to pop in somewhere for a late lunch. Saw the Ivy and the building was beautiful so decided to go on in. There were only a few others in, but the floor was messy and the table needed a wipe... but the staff were friendly and took our order quicklyWe both had the fish & chips and they were absolutely lovely! Literally cannot fault the food and drinks at all. Great cafe but needs more attention to cleaning between customers.

Nice cafe. Only one waitress she was also doing the cooking. Hats off to her, she was really nice. Nothing too much trouble.

Why can't I give zero stars, worst experience ever in a cafe/restaurant, we opted for the breakfast the price was expensive so we expected real quality.30 minutes wait for out drinks, another 30 waiting for the meal. Service was atrocious no sorry for the wait.When it came beans were cold, one rasher of bacon was included which was tiny.Not recommded

So this place is in a lovely building which is decorated very tastfully creating a nice atmosphere inside. The staff get top marks as they were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the price of the meals does not match with what they serve you. It was £10.95 for what is called Scarboroughs famous fish and chips as an adults portion. There was plenty of chips and what must have been a double serving of mushy peas however the fish was tiny, what I would expect to see in a kids special or something. The size of the fish as small as it was was also overwhelmed by the amount of batter around it.If I was rating the restaurant on staff and atmosphere alone I would have probably given it 5 stars but the food was just a let down unfortunately.

Floor was quite dirty where we were sat and our table was quite sticky. Very Good Yorkshire brew made up for the dry scones (not home-made) carrot cake was tasty. View of the Docks from the bay window and the excellent service bumbed it up to 4 stars.

Staff very helpful but the food wasn’t up to standard. Our tea and coffee were cold as was the food. My scampi and chips were ok, but the burger we also ordered was barely warm and fatty. The children’s meal was ok as that was cool enough to eat. Lovely view of the harbour.

Called in Friday lunch time for a spot of fish and chips as the place appeared modern, upbeat and seemed a step up from sitting inside the chippy just to the side of this place. Was told we could help ourselves to any table which we did. Then after over 10 minutes of nobody even acknowledging we were there, I went to go politely ask if we could place our order. A further 5 minutes passed before anyone came to take the order which was as simple as 2 adults fish and chips and 2 children's. Still took over 15 minutes to arrive meaning we had been seated over 30 minutes before a scrap of food arrived at our table. That's a long time unless you are in a heaving restaurant and enjoying a great ambience. This was neither unfortunately. When the food arrived, whilst it wasn't bad, it also wasn't good enough to save this review. Maybe my expectations were too high but basics of reasonably prompt service in a restaurant that was at less than 50% capacity, should be a given, not to mention the sticky table that was in desperate need of a good degrease of some sort.This place I'm sure has its market, but we unfortunately won't be back.

Had a pleasant lunch in the sunshine today. Good service and lovely food.

We visited this cafe as it looked very appealing from the outside with a modern bar that we could see through the window. However when we got inside, tables were dirty, sticky and the chairs were just ruined. We ordered drinks including a cup of tea. When it arrived to the table, the crockery was filthy! I asked for a replacement which came promptly, only they were just as dirty and so I chose not to drink it. To make matters worse, one of the waitresses picked up the cup I had returned, rang it quickly under a frother on the coffee machine, than dried it on her matted and stained pinny! I could have vomited. She then proceeded to put it straight onto a customer's tea tray.Do not go to this cafe! It's such a shame as its location is great but their very poor hygiene would be enough to close them down.
