Abbey Wharf
Saturday from approximately 1pm through till 1am we continue to celebrate with Motown and Soul tracks played by Soul Club. Our restaurant comfortably seats over 250 guests, in our beautifully refurbished premises. As well as tables for groups of various sizes within our main seating area we also have room for diners who prefer something a little more 'al fresco'.

With an extensive balcony overlooking the harbour and out towards Whitby's famous East and West Piers, Abbey Wharf is a wonderful location from which to watch the world go by. Upstairs, our mezzanine level with its own bar serves as overflow from the main restaurant, as well as providing a space which can be hired for private parties and functions, giving an added level of privacy.

The restaurant dining room is very nice and has a balcony overlooking the river which would obviously be amazing on pleasant days. The food is okay but hasn't excited me about the next time I go, although I must add that my kids lover it there. Sometimes the staff can be a bit indifferent towards looking after you. On both of my last two visits I didn't get my bread and butter with my meal and getting someone's attention about it and then that person taking some can do ownership of my need was harder than it probably ought to be.

Good food and lovely evening views looking back across the harbour (although the xmas lights kind of blocked the view from inside but it was still lovely). Place was clean and tidy. Staff were friendly.

Excellent food and beer. Able to get the table at end of the bar overlooking the harbour. Very good service on a walk in. Only downside is that we tried to book restaurant for same time but told fully booked, was empty when we arrived and left.

This is a difficult review. The place itself was beautifully looked after, inside and out. Clean, bright, nice seating inside and outside on the balcony giving great views across the harbour.The food looked amazing if you like seafood (I was drinking coffee).However, myself and a friend did not get that warm welcoming feeling from some staff.....it was just a little off? I can't put my finger on it, but it was enough for us not to want to go back. Maybe they were having an off day?

We went for lunch at the abbey wharf fish restaurant located near the bottom of the Abbey steps overlooking the harbour , there is no waiter service ,you have to find a table with an allocated number and order at the bar , which is fine but only two people serving on taking food orders as well as bar drinks orders , The staff were pretty grumpy and the tables were sticky , overall the restaurant was clean as were the toilets , We ordered cod and chips twice and two glasses of wine , The food was tasty and fresh but the drinks seemed overpriced , overall I can recommend this restaurant for lovely

Popular pub near the Whitby Abbey, lots of seats with distance, but you need to order at the bar counter. Food takes a while to be served. More variety than usual pub menu and quality is above the average.

Place was really nice and the food was good, although it was a shame because we could only find the menu online and only came here because my girlfriend loves seafood and they had a whole page for seafood items but upon visiting they informed us they had a reduced menu. I’m not sure if it was suppliers or anything but it was a disappointment as we probably would have gone elsewhere for more variety. Otherwise it’s a gorgeous place and great for a drink on the outdoor terrace. Prices are a bit steep but that’s what you pay for next to the harbour.

Called in here twice while we were staying just outside Whitby. We were lucky enough to get seats on the balcony over looking the estuary on a gloriously sunny day. Brilliant location. Only gripe is the ques at the bar were huge and didn't go anywhere quick.

Slightly disappointing experience at the Abbey Wharf. Popped in for lunch due to its balcony (overlooking the bay) and it's reviews. We order a cocktail and beer. No crushed ice so we changed cocktail however the server made out prosecco cocktail in a pint glass. Safe to say it wasn't good...second round included an espresso martini which was awesome!
The food, we ordered two starters (Whitney crab + whitebait) and a side of seasonal vegetables - no seasonal vegetables available (we went for a salad instead).... The food that did arrive was very good (especially the crab). Probably a case of 4

Food was really good and a great selection of drinks. Sadly that's all the positive things I can say. On website it says you can book the restaurant but outside is unreserved. We tried to book the restaurant but it was full so was hoping to sit outside. On arrival we were told no sitting outside for food yet we can sit in restaurant and take drinks out after. The bar man I just don't know how to describe. Brain dead and needed slapping with a fish from the kitchen to wake him up. 3 times I'd asked for orange juice no ice. He said every time ice in your cordial even put cordial on the bill. No choice
