    A tad disappointed. We’ve been visiting since it was Graveleys and don’t think the exotics is quite as good as it used to be. Service was great but the food doesn’t compare with the magpie, the menu is limited, and the prices high. A good alternative to the magpie if you don’t want to queue, but not the best fish and chips.

    Excellent fish & chip choice in Whitby which is so mega full of alternatives & sometimes hard to choose . It has a lovely view of the sea& Sandsend Perfect for my family as my DH does not like fried fish so there are alternatives.

    Great welcome, good service. Restaurant was lovely inside. We were there on a dark cold evening so couldn’t appreciate the sea view. Food was ample and tasty, in fact we left a little full so unable to sample the deserts! But they looked nice! Would recommend this place 👍🏻

    A lovely place with amazing food and excellent service. Lovely table, with stunning views. We had the fruit de mer everything was so fresh and delicious. If I'm being super picky we were unable to have the chips as they're cooked in beef dripping and there was a vegetarian in the party, having said that the new potatoes were to die for!! Would definitely recommend eating here!!!
