I enjoyed a lovely meal while on a weekend away with a friend. We both had salmon; mine with a sweet chilli flavouring and couldn't find any criticism at all! Would recommend highly.

Really nice atmosphere and friendly helpful service, but food a bit mediocre to be honest. They say they specialise in seafood, but we had 2 fish dishes which were both overcooked and not that well treated. The chips were a bit soggy too. There was a decent amount of choice though and the staff were very pleasant and enthusiastic.

We booked a table for 4 people early afternoon for the Sat evening. This place really gets booked up quick! The restaurant has a really nice feel about it. It's tiny & quirky. I'm not a big lover of seafood personally so I opted for a steak (sirloin if I remember rightly). I was rather dissapointed, it was extremely undercooked.... More

We were visiting Robin Hoods Bay on a Saturday eve so rang on a Wednesday and just managed to book a table on the For the Saturday. It's not that large inside but is exactly as you would imagine a small fish (speciality) restaurant to look like in a small English fishing cove famous for smuggling in the 17th century.... More

Just enough time was allowed before the mains were served.Sirloin steak and pork fillet were cooked to perfection. Another visited planned for next year. Highly recommended, you wont... More

My husband and I visited during Easter week, and haven't been for many years since it was the old Bistro. The owner was very helpful explaining the menu and what was available. The menu is extensive, with some specials available. We were looking forward to some mussels but unfortunately there were none available as the fishmonger could not get any,... More
