The Star Inn The Harbour in Scarborough

A lovely restaurant in the harbour. We didn't book so were pleasantly surprised to grab a table. The decor was nautical themed (of course) but felt modern and well maintained. The gentleman who served us was incredibly polite and the food was good. Only gave it four stars purely because for the price I would have liked the food to properly knock my socks off. We both had a burger (mine was a traditional meat whilst here was the Fungi) and while they were very nice, I'd have wanted them to be absolutely top notch. Would definitely return to try other dishes

Incredible. They eagerly worked hard to get us a table for four. The server, Joanne, was awesome. The fish and chips was tops with the perfect light and crispy batter, super juicy and tender cod, distinctive tartar sauce, flavorful mushy peas, and of course the malt vinegar and creamy hand pulled ale to pair. Man oh man…

Was here yesterday for lunch, food was amazing, had the seafood platter, staff are 5* service, place is modern clean and the black sheep beer was perfect. Can’t wait to go back.

Wonderful. The perfect fish meal. Friendly and professional staff. Calm, relaxed ambience. Worth every penny. Photo shows Sea Bream main course - to die for!

This place has a lovely atmosphere and the staff were really nice. Some dishes were delicious (roasted garlic mushrooms on toast and the fish cake), whilst other dishes were just ok (the squid and also the broth of the mussels marinière lacked flavour) which was a tiny bit disappointing

Ended up managing to book last minute for a table of 5 just before the lunch time rush and was over the moon! I have walked by this place many times I'm the past in search for 'traditional fish and chips', but not anymore. This place is not to be missed at all. Quality food from start to finish.

My favourite meal in Whitby!Not sure why we have never visited. The Star in Whitby on previous visits, we had the most amazing Birthday celebration meal.The food:🍖 My partner chose pork with rhubarb chutney, and egg and hash with black pudding.🥩🍤 As it was a special occasion I chose surf and turf with a charcuterie salad and fries. So so good! Oysters! My first time trying them! Honestly have no idea why I put this off so long. If you like sushi, go for it 😂 they were great. One was raw, with Asian flavours and pink ginger. The other was grilled with chorizo butter. Amazing.🍤🐟 Prawn and salmon cocktail. My partner chose this but it was like no prawn cocktail I have ever seen before. He was so impressed with how nice it was. Lovley seafood served with crackers and a seaweed garlic butter roll.🍧Rhubarb and custard sundae. My partner chose this massive but amazing pud with popping candy and parkin.🍫🍋Chocolate mouse with lemon and lime. I shared this with my mum and it was truly amazing ! Rich and tangy, reminiscent of a chocolate lime.A must try when in the are this place is brilliant and we couldn't fault it !

Great selection of gluten free food and we had amazing service. They even did a little something special for my husbands 30th birthday.

Stunning quality food and service. Feel very lucky to have been able to book this restaurant at late notice. Definitely my go to place next time I'm in Whitby

I’ve wanted to try out this restaurant for so long and trust me. It did NOT disappoint. Everything was perfect! The atmosphere and decor was amazing. Staff was so friendly and welcoming. Food was incredible! The fish pie was next level 😍 and so was the mussels! Such a treat and such a special experience. Would recommend!
