Cafe Fish

Ordered the sea bass and scallops, easily one of the top fish restaurants on my list. Scallops were juicy and tender, well seasoned. What made the dish exceptional was the exquisite orange scallop rum sauce on the side which added an extra touch of umami and sweet. Pre meal bread was served fresh out of the oven, nice and toasty. Great service and staff.

We love Café Fish and eat there at least once every time we are in Scarborough. We've been back since the founder sadly passed away and it was as good. Just been again. We will go back, but not with the same desire as in the past. Quite a few menu items unavailable. The food was still very good, but something isn't as before. My main was pre-pared and from the freezer - at least that's how it felt. Menu is good, but not changed in years. Not a problem, as if available, it is very nice. I would offer seasonal veg, freshly cooked. Same little tureen of same veg, every time. Again, desserts nice but choice not changed in years. Service - good, but not excellent as before. Starters and desserts in sundae dishes really should be served on a small plate or saucer. Clearing plates shouldn't be piled up on the table in a top class restaurant. The dining room was chilly. Some things not available, mains, drinks etc. Whisky served in a brandy glass. Don't get me wrong, we'll go back. I love Café Fish, but it's dropped a league. Excellent to good. Get these bits polished and you'll be back up there.

Absolutely phenomenal fish and chips. The fish was tender and had a lovely light batter. The chips were crispy on the outside and soft and steamy within. The tartar sauce tasted homemade. We were lucky enough to be able to get our food to go as we were on duty with work, but the restaurant looks lovely and worth a sit down. The service was great and we felt very welcome. It's in a nice quiet area of town. Thanks very much and we hope to return in the future.

If you love seafood, go here! Yes, it's pricier but my goodness it is worth it! Went for my birthday, and the place was very quiet which was a shame. The lady waitressing was lovely and we didn't order from the set menus. I can't begin to explain how amazing everything was that I ate! Especially the scallops... they were to die for. Just do it! Seriously, don't think just go and eat there!

Made to feel welcome from the moment we walked in, sat in the bar to warm up on arrival we got to ask menu questions and received a wealth of description in regards to the offers available that evening. Delicious food! We had a starter of chowder platter - fabulous And Yorkshire Brie- also fabulous. The Fish of the day was a gorgeous beer-soaked haddock with king prawns and mussels served with Thermidor and salad and the 1/2 Thermidor lobster was divine. All dishes beautifully presented and the bread/butter & garlic butter on arrival was a lovely touch. Absolutely recommend!

Reasonable price with good quality of food. Service is lovely and the restaurant also provide ice water and bread. Nevertheless, no service charge is on the bill. If you go there during weekday, the best buy would be set menu which comes with one starter (seafood chowder soup, deep fried cod ball, deep fried Thai fish cake and salad), main (I picked half lobster) and one glass of house wine or beer for £27. Good deal indeed!
