George Michael's in Scarborough

Great little restaurant. Food perfect. Service very good and quick, maybe a little too quick. But all good. Lovely staff.

Booked this place not knowing much. It didn't disappoint. Starters, main and dessert very good. Bottle of wine. 4 Beers Service very quick, a bit too quick but lovely Good generous size portions. Friendly staff. They even booked our taxi for us to go home Well worth going to. Good price for 4 people

My wife, Jacqui and our friend Judith and myself enjoyed the company and the excellent food prior to a visit to the SJ Theatre to see the Alan Aykbourn's 90th play 'Show and Tell'. The vegetable Moussaka was enjoyed (and almost finished) by both ladies and my veal was superb. Shame that whilst we were there customers cancelled their booking so they really missed out on a lovely meal in great surroundings. We were waiting at the door for it to open to be early. Well done and we will be back. BB

Managed to get a reservation for 17.45, my Mom and I were treated very well, I had 3 course meal, my Mom 2 courses, I had the Starter of the Greek Salad, fresh crispy, and just enough, even though I do not like olives of any kind, I had the beef in red wine sauce, my Mom had the Chicken in what would have been in the white mushroom sauce, however my Mom does not like mushrooms and the chefs kindly made the sauce without, only one house red, which was very nice, but would have liked a choice, My Mom used the services on the restaurant floor, as she is partially sighted, on her return I went to use the services down the stairs. Because of the steepness and narrowness of the stairs, I of course was using the bannister, although I did have ankle boots on with small heels on, not high, but I did have flared trousers on, which got caught in my heel, I fell and twisted my body and sadly found myself in A&E with a small fracture. This is not a complaint just a word of advice, for anyone planning to wear any heel, and anything flared, be it trousers or a dress. Take care on the stairs, the sign says mind your head, but please mind your feet. I wear heels all the time, but did not realize how the narrowness would cause problem with my flared trousers. One customer was just coming out the services, but did not see my fall, I told the waitress when I eventually made it back up the stairs. I always leave a tip if the food and the service is good, as living abroad means you appreciate the extra mile that waitresses go through and the chefs. Desserts were provided to take away. I must admit, I did expect a Thank you when they realised they had been left a tip. Which as someone who worked in the past in restaurant as both waitress and a cook, I have always always made sure that I recognize a kindness when given. This as I said does NOT takeaway the quality of the food eaten. Food excellent, plates warm. Never heard a Microwave, if there is I would think not too many of them, not like some restaurants I would never return to. Thank you.

We both had the kleftiko it was really nice the service was excellent and the Keo was cold a very nice experience and will will be returning in the near future

What a gem of a place. Food is lovely and such a warm a friendly atmosphere

Friends recommended this great Greek restaurant and we finally made it and it was worth the effort- delicious home made Greek food esp the duck a l"orange which is awesome as its flambe in front of you and lamb klefitiko delicious lovely friendly service from the owners thank you so much

This is a dated but beautiful place to eat. The menu and decor felt very 80/90's but the staff were very friendly and the food was spot. 2 courses, 2 glasses of wine and beers coming in at £80

Beef Stefado was excellent as was all the food coupled with good friendly service. Our first time here but will certainly be back.

Had a very disappointing visit here, which was very surprising looking at the reviews below. We visited mid-week and were welcomed without a wait which was great. There’s limited lager and wine choices but the portions were generous. We had starters and mains and everything we ordered was overcooked and had too much lemon in them. The vine leaves were in a lemon creamy sauce which was both bitter and sweet, and was so hot, it was impossible to eat for quite a while. Both or mains of halibut and chicken souvlaki were overcooked and dry (but also lemony). The dishes came out quite quickly and we could hear the microwave beeping regularly so suspect that had something to do with it. Other diners seem to be enjoying their meal choices so perhaps we were just unlucky. And disappointed. We didn’t feedback to the restaurant, just paid our relatively pricey bill and headed to a pub nearby to cleanse our palates.

8 ladies pre ordered, food was tasty and hot ,lovely atmosphere and great service

Recommended this place and got to say it was amazing . For the min we stepped in service was second to none Very knowlledgable and friendly and polite . The Greek salad was has good as any I have ever had in Greece so tasty as was all the food we had Would highly recommend Thanks for a lovely meal

Absolutely beautiful place relaxed atmosphere efficient friendly staff amazing food will definitely return when visiting Scarborough in august

We thought we'd try something different so booked a table at George Michaels. We have the mezes meal, it was fabulous I explained to our waitress that I was new to greek food and had no clue what I was doing so she explained what everything was for us. Lots of little dishes to try, it was great. Nice little restaurant with a warm, friendly atmosphere. Prefect for couples or groups of friends.

Fantastic service, with lovely people who make you feel very welcome.

The food was not the best qlthough the veg on the side was lovely, the service is slow but on the hole friendly. The place is dated and the atmosphere is not great, it was quiet for Christmas eve eve and a Saturday night so expected more.

Just been for a meal and feel a bit underwhelmed

Awful steak, asked medium rare and got extremely well done terrible 1980s decor staff were more worried about talk tha talking drinks or food orders.

Warm friendly, service was good, food was great, never been here before and as we was a large party, we will all be going there again. As they made us all feel welcome.

I absolutely love this little treasure. Service is always spot on food, which has been excellent every time I've been.

Fantastic food and lovley staff.

Excellent choice of food and great value too. Really friendly service and totally recommend this restaurant.

Disappointing meal all round. The meatballs to start with were just OK. The mains of mousaka and beef stefado were poor. The mousaka was served warm, not piping hot as you'd expect, hardly contained any meat and overall lacked flavour. The beef in the stefado was dry and chewy and again lacked flavour. This was the second time where the food has been under par and so we won't be back. This is a shame as the food used to be amazing.

It's absolutely fabulous. The food was delicious. We will be going to eat here again.

Getting a table for 7 at short notice is never easy, tonight we got lucky. The welcome was warm and we were seated as soon as we introduced ourselves. The ladies who looked after us were friendly and fun as well as very efficient. The wine was served quickly and we were given time to make our menu choices. The starters, mains and desserts were lovely and the portion sizes generous. We all made different choices and enjoyed everything we had. I think we drank them out of Barolo! At the end of our evening we chatted with the two lovely ladies who had looked after us so well. It was such a good evening and a great place for our last night in Scarborough. Thank you so much Mrs George and Mrs Michael.

Really lovely place, my first time visit with some friends. We ordered the meze and the food was delicious. It just kept coming! Very nice place, I would come again the next time I visit Scarborough. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Dont order the mezie ,,,, unless you got plenty room in your belly lol thougy recommended not one thing we did not like or eat , piping hot , and very tasty , will definitely eat here again 5☆

Me and my husband went for our anniversary. The starters were lovely I had humus and my husband had cod roe . But the main meal well my husband had the lamb and he said it was delicious, the veg was nice but I had the beef and it was was like vinegar, it sucked the moisture out your mouth , I couldn’t eat it . But what got me mad is that the 3 women (2 older n 1 younger ) stood at the bar looking straight at me , knowing I had a problem with my food but not one of them came over but while we were eating the starters we were asked if everything was ok . When I reluctantly went to pay the lady said “ we noticed you didn’t like ya meal “ but yet she didn’t come over .I didn’t want to make a scene as I was fuming so I just paid n left . Very disappointed won’t be going back , very poor service , spoilt my night .

Reminiscent of a 1970s berni inn with a few Greek fishes added. Decor wise, and menu wise we felt like we’d gone back to the 1970s. The food was bland and greek dishes were very inauthentic. But because it felt nostalgic and entertaining we enjoyed our evening even down to seeing “duck a l’orange” flamed on a trolley at a neighbouring table, and finishing off our meal with liqueur coffees. We felt like we were in a time warp. We would have loved a green veg as part of the veg selection, some herbs and seasoning in the moussaka and a Greek salad that wasn’t mostly iceberg lettuce. Finding nice places to eat healthy tasty food in Scarborough does seem to be tricky.

Excellent home cooked food. Traditional favourites like duck in orange and melon balls. Tasty, honest, food at a fair price.

We go regularly to this restaurant which is one of the best restaurants in Scarborough for a fillet steak. We all had steaks and everyone devoured everythig on the plates. I have been going here for over twenty years and it is without doubt the best steak restaurant I have ever been in. On some occasions I have had other main courses which have all been good but I cannot say no to their fillet steaks.

We have walked past this restaurant many times over the years when visiting Scarborough, instead of passing by when looking for somewhere for an evening meal we looked at the menu and went in, we ordered the mezze, wow absolutely amazing, lovely meal at a reasonable price, excellent service. Will definitely go again on another trip.

What a lovely meal. Having visited Askims the night before and having a terrible experience, this was a gem. We had the Mezze. This was delightful. The service was great. Thank you.

Lovely homely restaurant with good food and service.

Great staff and food. Brilliant night thank you 😊

Shockingly bad frozen food and rude waitress!!

Went to this restaurant on strength of greek menu and was not disappointed.The starters were excellent and the beef stifado superb.Gail had swordfish,which is a particular favorite,and it was cooked to perfection.Will be back when next in Scarborough.

Looks a bit dated on entering, but has that Greek Taverna feel. Brilliant value for money with a good set menu. Been here a few times over the years and the food is always of the same really good standard.

My expectations were surpassed by this lovely characterful restaurant in Scarborough I had the Taramasalata starter to share which came with warm pitta bread and I also ordered a nice garlic buttery bread to go with it My main course was the swordfish which came with a nice selection of different vegetables including roast potatoes and some very interesting and tasty cheesy carrots My girlfriend had the beef stifado which was equally lovely with a great rich gravy sauce All in all a very pleasant experience and nice staff I will definitely return when I’m next in Scarborough

Great little Greek restaurant food excellent only downside was when I asked for another couple of drinks never came as the lady was who was serving us had a face like thunder on her or would have given it a 5

We had a superb meal at this restaurant. The food was flavoursome and plenty of it. Service was good too. 👍 a lovely end to our holiday in Scarborough. Would definitely recommend. Thank you 😊

We tried this restaurant one evening and we're very pleased we did, service was good, polite and friendly staff and the food was first class, definitely try this restaurant if you're ever in Scarborough.

The food was lovely, great portion sizes, very tasty and very good value. Very friendly staff and nice drinks, too. Thank you for a lovely meal!

Lovely staff and food was delicious 😋

Best steak I have had,service good,nice and friendly,nice place very clean,taking my mam tonight for the duck in orange sauce

Definitely not "authentic" Greek. I have never been in a Greek restaurant, either in UK or Greece, where they don't know what gyros is. I ended up ordering a mixed souvlaki, which come as plain chicken and pork with some salad, and I have also never had cauliflower, carrot, boiled and roast potatoes with a Greek meal before. They only offered a limited Greek menu, and served it with English sides

We were looking forward to a meal here but found the food to be quite bland. Moussaka is a greek staple but ours was below parr. Much better eateries in Scarborough.

Great food, friendly staff, will be back. Four of us went, we each had different meals off the menu and we all agreed that it was excellent.

Great place ,great food ,a little old fashioned but doesn't matter

Just visited our favourite restaurant again .we travel a long way to come and visit George micheals restaurant again thank you to Helen Angela and family we just love this place and we would never go anywhere els in scarbourgh had a brilliant meal tonight...

It's a tradition with me to have a nice meal on my last night in places I visit so dinner at George Michael's was wonderful - we both chose Moussaka which is the best I ever tasted.

Cannot get better...quality of the food Price and service good.

Great staff, wonderful food, always fresh and cooked to order. Our favourite restaurant in Scarborough.

Me and my wife were looking for somewhere to eat so we popped in. We noticed a couple of reviews on about carrots and stuff saying they weren't traditional greek food, let me tell you, we got some, we didn't care they were cooked beautifully as was everything else. All the food was heavenly and worthy of a Kings grand feast. I've never tasted food so delicious since my grandma's cooking and she was employed by a former mayor of Berwick upon tweed as their cook. Which tells you how good she was. If you've never been go, you won't regret it just as we sont regret setting foot into their establishment.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first experience of Greek food. Excellent fdinner, warm welcome, pleasant ambience.

Absolutely top drawer this place, can't rate highly enough. The food is just brilliant. LOvely atmosphere.

This Greek Cypriot restaurant was very traditional in decor and the food was amazing … enough to feed 4 there was just two of us … I had a mushroom stroganoff which was Devine my partner chicken skewers which ye says melted in your mouth...

Had a wonderful evening here with friends,the owners made you so welcome. We went with friends who had highly recommended it as we were visiting Scarborough.

I found the staff rude, rushing to take the orders, then walking up and down checking if we had finished eating. As soon as we ordered the starters came out, the steaks was on. Steak takes literally 3mins each side, we like to enjoy our...

We totally loved this! The food was plentiful, excellent value and with a wide variety of choices! Very pleasant and efficient service! Just sad we haven't discovered it sooner! We will be back!

Fabulous food, lovely friendly owner. Will definitely call again on future visits to Scarborough

Excellent food and brilliant service!

This place is just amazing .brilliant food staff brilliant too .food is just out of this world. My husband and l went for a meal well worth it but also good prices .we are going back to scarbourgh soon and book I g for a meal back to george micheal s restaurant can not wait xx

Have used this restaurant a lot since we came across it by chance. Food absolutely fantastic and delicious. Staff are friendly and polite. Kitchen never stops. Definitely worth a visit. We will definitely be back next time we stay in Scarborough.

Found this little gem a while ago we always eat here when we stay in Scarborough. Delicious food and lovely staff.

My husband and I went to this great restaurant last night before the theatre. The staff were very welcoming and the food was totally gorgeous.

As a party of nine we were met with a warm welcome and a lovely festive ambience. Our chosen dishes were very tasty with healthy portions, this restaurant is consistently good in both food quality and service. The staff, as always are professional and friendly...

Lovely dinner provided for our Christmas staff night out. 3 courses and was delicious! Loved it so much we are going again this year!

We recently went to George Michaels with friends for Dinner. We have been going on and off to this restaurant for a number of years(too many to remember). What a lovely evening we had food lovely and hot and excellent portions. Staff very friendly and...

First time we've ever been here after walking past it every time we visit Scarborough. .....lovely restaurant. The staff are helpful and kind, the service was excellent and the food was superb. I had swordfish which was delicious whilst my husband had the veal, he said that was very nice. It was a very busy Saturday evening when we visited but that didn't impact on the service at all....spot on. After our meal we sat in the bar at the front of the restaurant to finish our wine.....we'll definitely be back

I know it's been there many years. But cauliflower cheese with Souvlaki? Starter was more authentic

Another amazing meal at George Michaels. Tzatziki and warm pitta strips pork meatballs in tomato sauce. Chicken a la crema and lovely fresh veg followed by Black Forest Gateau. A great value filling and delicious meal. We'll see you next time

My favourite restaurant all ways good food the best service

Superb meal. We have visited many times over the years and have always had a great experience. Traditional Greek/Cypriot menu. We had tzatziki & a meatballs starters, moussaka & beef stifado main courses with a nice bottle of Aphroditie. We even managed pudding!

Well what can I say about George Michael? First of all, excellent service, attentive staff and good food, well presented and enough to feed an army. So this is where the review ends I guess, isn't that all you require from a local restaurant? Well...

Struggling to understand the negative comments on here, our evening and food was amazing, I had the chicken in cherry and orange sauce, absolutely divine for a sweet tooth like me! Alcohol marinated cherries and oranges, superb proper roast and boiled potatoes and veg cooked...

Very good food staff very good value for moneoy will.definley go back.

Very friendly, very atmospheric, really nice food well served, it's a must for our next visit to Scarborough.🤗

Lovely restaurant, nice feeling around the place. Food was stunning, I don't know why they gave me a steak knife for my sirloin as a butter knife would have been fine as the steak was so tender. The veal was amazing. Something I wouldn't have at home. Highly recommend here.

Interior not very Greeky. Had Kelftiko but no real flavour to it. But food was good overall. Service really good.

Absolutely fantastic food infact i would go as far as to say the best steak ive ever had

We hadn’t booked but received a friendly welcome and the service continued to be great throughout. We opted for the meze and what a great choice that was. A huge variety of food that was delicious and just kept on coming, a real feast. The...

Absolutely gorgeous food. We are regulars as we love their food and hospitality.

We booked a table for 8:00pm and was seated promptly. The place was lovely with many diners enjoying good and drinks. We ordered a bottle of wine and opted for the mezes which didn't disappoint. We were completely full as it seemed like the food just kept coming and coming. There is no need to order starters or puddings with the mezes as you have more than enough. We saw diners taking home their leftover food and wine so nothing wasted. Staff were super friendly and definitely recommend 😊

First time trying a Greek restaurant and I must say it was great .. food was superb and we had the meze for two people and can't fault it in any way . As for the staff they were all so friendly and attentive to service they provided.

Lovely menu, lots of choice. Really tasty food and nice big portions. Owner really friendly and great service. Will definitely return.. this week

Exerlent food and hospitality as usual

A perfect meal for six people, two of whom were having birthday celebrations. The steak meals were as usual excellent and without doubt the best steaks in Scarborough. Service was good and overall we enjoyed the meal very much.

During our first night in Scarborough for our first daughters ever beach holiday we randomly came across this restaurant & walking around. They were very accommodating from the start, to finish as we managed to get a table without pre-booking or ringing. All food from the starters, mains & desserts were spot on, just the right amount of food, not to much or to little.

Got a table for two on a busy Saturday night. Service was good and the food was tasty. Good bottle of wine and liquor coffees made it a great night.

Fantastic meal, moussaka to die for. Lovely friendly staff and not expensive. We had the house wine which was ver palatable. Should we be in Scarborough again definitely a place to eat

Meze for two, lovely, recommended

Opted for this restaurant after wondering where to eat. Menu looked great but unfortunately very disappointed. We had mushroom to start which was ok the main we had chicken with rice and moussaka which came with veg which I didn't understand. The food was very...

After googling places we opted for George Michaels. The staff are lovely and friendly The food tasty, however I was very confused by my mushroom stroganoff main. When it arrived it was pushed to one side of an oval plate. The mushrooms and rice were...

Went for a meal with my wife. We had the meze for 2 and it was lovely. Plenty to eat and all hot and fresh.

Was here last night, had mousakka and beef stifado, hubby had meatballs to start. One of the best Greek meals we have ever had. 3 course set menu fantastic value for money and a nice bottle of Prosecco. Very cheap, if we ever come back...

Enjoyed a very good meal, plus the staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going again.

I had a vey nice evening with my friend at George Michaels last night. The food was so tasty and well presented. A pleasant atmosphere with Greek music playing in the background. The staff were friendly and attentive. I shall be back soon.

We have travelled the world and enjoyed the best restaurants. We disagree entirely with the negative comments. George Micheal’s is unique, authentic and incredibly good! The value for money has to be noted. My husband enjoyed a traditional stifado and I enjoyed chicken in a...
