Reviews in Scarborough

We had a meal here on Sunday 7th June - Terrible, the food was only average, the staff were very noisy, laughing and screaming and joking all the time we were having our meal and the service was poor. After the meal I was actually physically sick in the night, my husband felt very queasy. We would definitely not go back or recommend to anyone.

we went to the golden grid on monday 8th of june and the fish and chips were excellent i would recommend it to all

On 7.6.09 12 of us ate here at lunch time and it was absolutely first class - service, food preparation, presentation, content, variety and the whole job lot. Would go back here again anytime I was in the area.

We were being asked what drinks we wanted before we even had a chance to sit down and look at the drinks list. It was probably the worst biryani I've ever tasted, and its was only a taste because it was sent back!

Well for 3.50 for a full roast dinner you can't go far wrong - not gourmet cooking by any standard. Veg is frozen, but the turn over is high enough to stop it standing for ages and there is plenty of choice. Best is the cauli cheese. Choice of Ham, Beef and Turkey with stuffing and yorkshires (frozen), roast and boiled taties - overall a good meal at a good price.

Very nice food and good service. Also do take away.

DITTO to other comments! Lunchtime on friday, saturday and sunday there is a mongolian buffet where you choose the ingredients and they cook them in front of you - as much as you like for around a fiver! Evening you get a platter of starter then can choose a range of dishes from the menu - you start with four then when finished order more until you are stuffed. All these come with a big bowl of fired rice and for a staggeringly low price - between 6 and 10 per head depending on which day and what time you go. You can also add extra courses such as soup and crisp duck. Don't go expecting chips or to share one dish that's not how it works but for excellent food at excellent price and super friendly and helpful staff try the RED DRAGON.

Great restaurant with lovely food at an excellent price. VERY BUSY so make sure you book, because of this it is sometimes a little noisy but this all adds to the ambience and the service is always very good.

Very nice restaurant,fantastic food and not overly expensive £37 for 2 people including drinks,anyone who is in Scarborough and is a lover of Indian food this is the place :)

i think Oliver's mount restaurant is absolutely beautiful. the staff are lovely and brighten up the dullest of days. The food is outstanding and i would really recommend you to try this. GO FOR IT.

One of the best chinese meals you can dream of. Once you tried it you can't help it not to go back again. Fresh food at one of the most reasonable prices you could think of...what more can you want ? Staff are always there if you need anything so definitely i recommend this place. It's ace ..

delicious food but some of the strangest bar service ever - we asked for a vodka & tonic in a large glass with ice and it came in a Fosters pint glass????

Unusual building with a fair amount of history behind it. A fair challenge for James the new manager, but one that will be relished. Excellent pub carvery and good value too a trademark of Mitchell & Butler. Looking forward to this one.

I'm a frequent visitor to Scarborough but had never visited Restaurant 55 so whilst passing it on Saturday decided to give it a try. The menu states that the 55 special which is fish, chips, mushy peas and bread and butter is £5.95 bargain, there was however a large option underneath for an extra £2 and being rather hungry we decided to go for this one! The food arrived quite quickly and the portion was indeed large. However, I'm not too sure what they put in their batter but the chips just tasted bizarre, I'm sure some people wouldn't mind the taste but it wasn't for me nor my partner. The fish was large but was covered in a very thin and greasy layer of soggy batter not how fish and chips should be at all. Also the mushy peas were minted but only slightly which made them taste quite bizarre too. We did try and mention to the waitress that the food had been far from good but she wasn't at all interested and just said "oh dear!" All in all the worst fish and chips I think I have ever had and then when the bill came seemingly the tea and bread and butter weren't included in the price...£9 for fish, chips, mushy peas tea and one slice of bread is far from a bargain. Needless to say we won't be going back. One plus point though the view from the restaurant is quite spectacular such a shame the food can't match it.

been a few times great food, excellent service, not very busy, reasonably priced.

I love this place. It's friendly and the food is superb. I visit every time I come up to Scarborough.

While it does get a bit chaotic inside at times, the food here is always good, especially the honeycomb cheesecake which I love. Always worth a visit.

Very rapid but rather impersonal service. Of four diners and 2 courses only one, the goats cheese starter was up to standard. Mussles notably over cooked with others dishes remarkably bland. A disappointing experience. Wine was however good.
