Reflections in Scarborough

The best compliment you can pay to any restaurant is a return visit and this is why we returned to Reflections and this time brought friends with us. Following our previous rave reviews Reflections had a lot to live up to and yet again delivered the most amazing beautifully prepared dishes. Upon arrival we were greeted by the lovely Richard and shown into the bar area for drinks and to peruse the menu and make our selections. We remained here until we were shown to our table by Richards assistant Harvey. The food was absolutely stunning. We had all ordered different dishes and every one looked and tasted exquisite. I opted for the monkfish wrapped in Parma ham with mashed potato and vegetables, hubbies choice was pork with new potatoes and vegetables and our friends selected halibut with new potatoes and side salad and roast duck with new potatoes and vegetables. We all agreed that the food was as good as it gets. To finish two of us selected the lemon posset with brand snap basket and one of us selected the cheese board. The deserts were beautifully presented and delicious however one minor criticism would be that the brandy snap baskets were quite thick and chewy rather than snapping which made them quite difficult to tackle. All in all a great big big thumbs up to everyone in the team involved in making our evening so special. We will return!!!!!

We had Sunday lunch today upstairs in the restaurant 3courses really good value the food service excellence br

Everything was lovely and smooth, from being greeted and drinks in the bar, to choosing our meals and being seated in the dining room. Food was amazing, there were seven of us including a child and can honestly say that every dish was gorgeous. We were all delighted and can totally recommend this restaurant

Booking Reflections at The Crescent Hotel was easy. A simple e Mail was all that was required and a speedy response confirmed we were all set. Upon arrival a very friendly Richard greeted us and we were shown into the bar area to peruse the menu. Monday night is ‘steak special night’ so hubbie quickly decided that was for him. I myself had been hankering after the roast lamb rump so that was my choice. When the food was ready we were shown to our table in the dining area , I didn’t think it was possible for the food to live up to my expectations - but not only did it do that….. it actually exceeded them! The lamb was beautifully cooked and so tender! Richard was attentive throughout our meal ( but without being too pushy) ensuring ourevery need was catered for Every element of our meals was superb. Hubbie ordered Bramley Etonnmess for pudding. Again magnificent!!!! I have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending Reflections to anyone looking for a special fine dining experience.

What can I say! This is our 5th visit to Scarborough in 10 months and every time we have to visit The Crescent Hotel for Reflections restaurant, food is amazing and always spot on with everything ordered BUT the service is amazing, Denise is a credit to the restaurant and hotel, she just as a way with people and nothing is ever too much, if I’m honest it’s due to Denise on our first visit in August 2021 that we returned on our next trip, she deserves credit for her hard work and commitment to her work, the other staff are extremely politely and friendly too but she shines above the team.

If everyone enjoys there meals here as much as we did, there will be some very happy diners indeed. The food and service was flawless, and we were so glad we visited. If we lived nearer we would like to visit regularly, as this is an example of the right way to do things. The staff were really friendly and professional, well done. Thanks for making our visit so enjoyable. :)

We came here for our last night in Scarborough and so glad we did. The food here is exceptional. We had three courses and every part of the meal I enjoyed. The lamb tasted beautiful and the potatoes and veg were perfectly cooked and fresh. The staff were also very friendly and good service. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

We visit Scarborough twice a year and ‘Reflections’ is our favourite restaurant. The food is fantastic and the staff always seem to remember us and genuinely welcome us back.If you like traditional Sunday lunch then don’t miss this opportunity.I am writing this review as we would have been there this evening to celebrate my husband’s birthday but alas we are at home.I wish you all good health and look forward to our return in the Autumn.

Very disappointing from a restaurant with lovely pictures of "home cooked" food Wonder if they used the recipe, if so why not have one of their own pictures rather then taking one from the internet. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Came to this restaurant 4 years ago and it was amazing - so as we were in Scarborough thought we would book again - there was one member of staff on duty - she did reception, took drinks order - took food order - brought the food to the table and generally did everything - last time we were there there were 2 girls in the restaurant - one on the bar and one overseeing everything - last night we waited a while as this one girl was very busy with other guests - at least the restaurant was not busy - ordered fillet steak which was amazing last time - this time half the size portion for the the same price - this place seems to have lost its touch !!!

We recently had a triple birthday celebratory dinner at Reflections and once again had a great experience. Our chosen dishes were delicious, well presented and served with a smile by Denise. Consistently excellent food and service and would highly recommend.

We have only had Sunday Lunch here so can't comment on evening meals. The staff are friendly and always make you feel comfortable. Lovely to have fresh flowers and clean white tablecloths and the presentation of the food is always excellent.Special mention to Denise who manages to keep everyone smiling.The food is always hot and the Sunday Lunch menu has something to keep everyone happy.

What a lovely, friendly, fabulous restaurant. The staff were very welcoming as soon as we arrived. The pate was plentiful and accompanied with small toast and chutney. The prawns & fish mousse was fresh, tasty & light. The beef dinner was delicious, with a large Yorkshire pudding. You can’t go wrong with ice cream, but the honeycomb is really nice. Highly recommended.

We were visiting Scarborough for the first time and were recommended to try the restaurant at the Crescent Hotel Yesterday(Sunday) evening, approx 7.30, went into the restaurant with my friend while our wives waited outside. There were 2 occupied tables but no waiting staff so went to the adjacent bar where a dark-haired lady in uniform was talking to 2 customers. we enquired if they were still serving a carvery (a poster at the entrance indicated carvery on Sundays). The lady replied, in an off-hand manner that there was no carvery, passed my friend a copy of the a la carte menu, then immediately said they were fully booked and the restaurant stopped serving at 9.00 pm so we were out of luck! I worked in the hospitality industry for more than 20 years and know waffle when I hear it. Not sure if it was my friend's bright green Norwegian fisherman's jumper or my Guinness toucan shirt that put her off us, but it was clear that she was not practicing any customer service that evening. Leaving our car parked on the Crescent outside we went elsewhere and had an excellent meal efficiently served (I will review separately). We returned to our car shortly after 9.30 and could see that Reflections was completely empty and the only visible sign of life was someone polishing glasses in the deserted bar! Imagine my suprise when I returned home to Lincolnshire today, and started to write my review only to see that Okayish had a similar experience. the hotel manager's response indicated that he (the manager) suspected foul play (presumably from a rival) and I am sure that does happen! But I have no axe to grind!

After parking the car nearby booked in hotel and was met by quite scruffy unkempt abrupt hostile front of house assistant and our simple requests were met with bad attitude stating she was busy despite 2 people in bar and hotel virtually empty and said hotel dining room was full booked or something like that and though some tables were reserved for later on in evening nice professional efficient very young waiter gave us a table and there was only two other couples in surprisingly

Went with my dad on a Monday after watching some cricket.The restaurant is beautifully presented with a reasonable choice on the menu offering something for everyone. Dad chose the leek and potato soup which he very pleased with and I had the home made liver pate which was lovely and smooth accompanied by a very tasty spicy tomato chutney.We both chose the roast rump of lamb on champ mash which was lovely and tender.The ambience was a little quiet, being a Monday, but this is definitely a place where quality is delivered.

Dropped in on Tuesday night 21st May. Fantastic very clean and smart nice reception bar. Shown menu's great choice offer on steaks. So me and the wife had steak for two and daughter went for salmon. 5 minutes or so wait and shown into dinning room again very smart great waiter within minutes food came and THIS IS FLESH FINE DINING FANTASTIC you would go along way to get better we have been coming to Scarborough for 15years and this is the best we have had. We have eaten in over 30 restaurants in the area from Indian to Turkish this is the BEST. and that's not the only thing the value is outstanding see you soon.

Having read all the reviews our hopes were high for reflections but unfortunately, we were quite disappointed. The hotel, like the restaurant, looks like it was once a grand old beauty but is now struggling. The staff was friendly but certainly not of the calibre of fine dining, in fact, it the front desk attendant was doing double duty as the waitress. We were the only people in the restaurant for two hours we were there. The food was average and lacking love, especially what I'm pretty sure were frozen vegetables we were served. The wine list needs a significant review and update.

What am amazing anniversary meal , the food was spectacular!!! Well done to the chef it truly was amazing

I have dined here on several occasions and found it to be excellent service and food. A good variety to choose from with the quality of local sourced produce. Good portions and certainly worth the cost. The ambience of the premises is good. We have never been disappointed. If you are considering a meal for a family celebration excellent venue.

We have visited Reflections on a number of occasions and once again it was an enjoyable evening. The staff are always warm, friendly and efficient, great ambassadors for the restaurant. Our chosen dishes were well presented, quality ingredients and very tasty. Bar and restaurant were very busy which added to the experience and recommend you give Reflections a try.

The service and staff were excellent.I was somewhat dissopointed with some of the dishes. The dumplings with one of the dishes were rather dry and needed to be moister.

Decided to give this restaurant a go following the reviews to celebrate an important birthday. Really pleased we did. The food and service were excellent. The decor is rather dated and surprisingly there weren’t many people. Definitely a hidden gem

I’ve lived in Scarborough all my life and never visited Reflections and, until my friend booked it, never really heard of it! Since our visit I’ve been telling everyone about it and would highly recommend a visit!

We've just returned from a 3 night stay in Scarborough and stayed at the Crescent hotel. Reflections is the hotel restaurant and all I would say is the dishes we ate were tremendous, Michelin quality but incredibly cheap for what we received.

Only us in the restaurant and my steak was underdone. Sent it back to then be overdone. Asked for medium and it was well done in the end, dry and grisly. Not a great dessert menu. Eaten here twice before and it was lovely. Hoping it was a one off however won’t be back

We recently visited Reflections for a birthday get together and, as always had an enjoyable evening. We were a party of 12 and we found the staff professional, warm and friendly (particularly Denise). The food was well presented and delicious, only disappointment was it appeared the kitchen had forgotten the chips and when they eventually arrived they were pale and barely cooked and hence not many were consumed. However, this would not deter us from booking Reflections again but would ensure any orders for chips are duly noted by the kitchen!!

We had been recommended by friends to give reflections a try, so we called in last Sunday for Sunday Lunch.

I would suggest you save this place for that special occasion. The food and the beer is fabulous. The service was outstanding, thank you Denise!

Visited a couple of weeks ago to look at this restaurant before booking for 16 members of Rotary. As we travelled for3 hours from near manchester we did not have the chance to actually try it on that trip. However, as the quick lunch and service was very good and we could have one big table for 16, we went ahead and it did not disappoint us!

We were looking to have sunday roast in Scarborough but somewhere different. A lady waiting for Reflections to open at 12 pm for sunday lunch told it was really good food and a good price. So we thought we would try it. The staff were so friendly and helpful, showed us to a table we ordered... well I would rate it at 15 out of 10!!! The best Sunday lunch we have had this year, as this was our 3rd visit. So next year where will we be for sunday lunch? Reflections in Crescent Hotel, of course! Everything was cooked perfectly and very moorish!

We were surprised how quiet the restaurant was over Bank Holiday weekend, but had an enjoyable meal. Not the cheapest of restaurants, but good quality and very tasty food made us feel we got what we paid for.

This was our second visit and we had very much been looking forward to it. There were 4 of us and we had a variety of starters, all of which hit the spot. For mains we had fish and steak meals, all delicious. Unfortunately we...

This restaurant serves the best fillet steak I have ever had. The chef is superb and this place is a must if you are staying in Scarborough. You won't be disappointed and very reasonably priced.

Ambiente tranquilo y encantador. Calidad Ropa de mesa, buen servicio. Comida excelente, muy variada oferta en todos los campos y a un precio muy razonable. TDH dos campos por £21. 95 o 24 libras para tres campos. 95. A la Carta no mucho más. Muy bien presentado. Probablemente el mejor restaurante en Scarborough, el único aspecto negativo fue que la música de fondo, podría haber sido un poco más tranquila, o incluso inexistente desde nuestro punto de vista.

Service with a smile, good choice of meats and really excellent value for money and my little dog was able to sit with me too. Thank you guys :o)

Having lived in Scarborough all my life, I have never been to this restaurant which is part of The Crescent Hotel. I can't believe I have been missing out. Large selection of meat and fish dishes with some creative combinations. There was also a set menu which was fantastic value. We were attended to by an efficient and friendly waitress who did a great job. The food was delicious, fresh and plentiful. I had plaice goujons followed by rump of lamb with roasted sweet potato and a redcurrant jus. My fellow diner had a buffalo mozzarella and beef tomato stack with balsamic glaze and fish to follow. The only thing we did find a little stuffy and mean was that you got one side dish with your main course and had to pay an additional £2 if you wanted vegetables as well as potato. The charges for the main courses are around £15-18 so would expect both to be included. So-to conclude, you won't find food of this kind and quality in the town centre, so give it a go. Don't be put off by the fact that it is a hotel restaurant as the food is a credit to the chefs.

My husband and I had the valentines set menu and it was so delicious. All food beautifully presented and top quality. Service was excellent.

Very warm friendly service, clean cosy bar area and dining room with excellent quality food.Good choice of menu although a little expensive. Music was not in keeping with the surroundings or the age group of diners. Something a little less noisy would have been nice. Tables were separated well but still had a hotel dining room feel rather than a restaurant. If you like good food you would not be disappointed but not a restaurant atmosphere.

I had to write a review for this restaurant. It was our 2nd Christmas lunch here and it was just as welcoming, well organised and quality food as last time. Staff are friendly, helpful and full of Christmas spirit. Yet to try on a normal day but definitely think I wouldn't be disappointedThank you for a lovely day x

Second year for Christmas Day lunch. Absolutely amazing food, fantastic fun staff. Great atmosphere. Couldn't ever belive that a Christmas lunch could be of this standard.....but it is.... just perfect and nothing more to add.

food lovely and plentiful and the staff are very helpful and put you at ease.The restaurant is easy to find and very clean,it is not over crowded with tables so gives it a very homely feel but very professional

We were a large party celebrating a friends birthday and we had a superb evening. The food was delicious, excellent quality and beautiful presentation - it made this a special occasion for the birthday girl. The ambience of the bar and restaurant are lovely and the staff warm, welcoming and professional and thank you all for an excellent evening that was enjoyed by all. Would highly recommend Reflections.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal in Reflections and would highly recommend the restaurant to anyone staying at the Crescent Hotel.

A treat for my husband's birthday, my mother and I ate at this lovely restaurant last summer whilst visiting Scarborough, and greatly enjoyed it. So I wanted my husband to try it . We travelled from Leeds to have Sunday lunch. Once again a really good 3 course l menu. We both had the goats cheese and avacardo salad, which was very tasty and presented in a very modern way. My husband had placed with a cream, wine and prawn sauce, I had braised pork belly, both good and served with a good selection of seasonal vegetables and potatoes. Dessert was gorgeous I had key lime pie with coconut ice cream and my hubby had brandy snap basket with raspberry liquor mousse. What amazing value for £16.95 The staff were friendly and very polite. Wish we lived nearer we would visit more frequently. Well done reflections a very enjoyable visit, will recommend to friends and family when visiting Scarborough.

Only one night in Scarborough and didn't want fish and chips! Tried this on spec and it was lovely. Good service, excellent food, pleasant surroundings. Would recommend.

My wife and I visited Scarborough for one night and checked TA for restaurant recommendations before booking We chose Reflections (located in The Crescent Hotel) and weren't disappointed. We enjoyed an excellent meal, the quality of the food was first class and for a very reasonable price. We booked for 7.30 and while it was quiet the atmosphere was just right for us.The service was friendly courteous and efficient and we will definitely book again next time we are in the area.

Having visited this restaurant on 2 occasions recently we were highly delighted with the quality and service.The menu has a great choice of starters, mains,and deserts. I had the Soup, followed with Lemon Sole and finished with Sticky Toffee Pudding. Excellent Good Excellent friendly staff and good owners who were there to ensure your visit was a nice experience.Would recommend this restaurant. Just a note that if you look at the web site for The Reflections there is only a sample menu on there, the menu changes twice a week the current menu can be found on their Facebook page.

Excellent restaurant – Staff very friendly and professional – Food was excellent – would highly recommend the chips – The portions were very generous and I would certainly return. Highly recommended

Having visited Reflections several times before I was very disappointed with my latest visit, not because of the cooking or indeed the presentation but mainly the value and quality for the money. I opted for a starter and a main course for £21.95.My selection was a starter of Duck pate with toast, apart from the toast being very soft ( which was replaced) the pate was rather tasteless. The main course was a scallop of Pork with a sauce and stuffing, vegetables were included the pork was tasty and well cooked, however only one scallop of pork and a pile of what tasted like Paxo stuffing, I do not consider adequate or value for money.My guest had the Aubergine and Tomato pasta, a small portion about half the size of what a local Italian restaurant serves at half the price of what Reflections charged, it contained half a aubergine and one small tomato cut in half in a pasta sauce! It appears to me that the menu has been tailored to achieve the maximum amount of profit, this is a shame as i have had excellent meals at Reflections in the past.

Lovely meal excellent service and one of the best steaks I've had in a long time wine recommended was a really nice one and went with the meal superbly thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will be back, just one slight criticism plate better than chopping board bit this is not picking as everything was excellent

I booked the restaurant for a family meal to celebrate parents ruby wedding as we were staying in Scarborough for the weekend. I choose this restaurant from reviews on trip advisor and wasn't disappointed. Alia was brilliant and organised a cake for me and even collected it from Christine. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent , plenty of it and fresh vegetables perfectly cooked. The steaks were cooked to perfection. The staff were so warm and friendly, as an experienced manager in a high end catering company with high expectations I was over the moon with everything from start to finish. I would highly recommend.

I have been to reflections a couple of times now and hadn't got round to leaving a review, unfortunately. But as I read some reviews on here, some being negative, I felt it was only fair to leave one of my visits.On the first occasion I dined with my partner as his first meal back in the UK following a military operation. We hadn't heard of reflections, we simply found it through trip advisor as number 2 restaraunt in Scarborough. We decided to give it a try, not knowing what to think- but we are very glad we did. The restaurant was maybe a little dated, but it all added to the experience.The food was served with great presentation and to a high standard. Im going back a while, but i had the most delicious salmon, on breaded brie served with an orange sauce. My partner had a chicken dish with asparagus. Both the meat and the fish were delicious and to a high quality. The staff were extremely polite and helpful throughout the meal.On the other occasion I dined with my partner and his parents, again we had a delicious meal, the fishcake starter was beautiful, all the food was served again to a high standard and great flavours. The staff were just as friendly as we remembered then.Yes, some may say it is a little pricey, which for Scarborough it may appear to be. However for the delicious food and dining experience it is worth every penny. The beauty of this place is that the menu changes often so each time you have different options on a set price menu. The only negative point which I had on both occasions was when we had paid the bill and sat in the bar area awaiting taxis, a member of staff had to come over as she had 'missed' items off the bill. A little strange happening both times, but obviously we paid with no objection as we had the food/drink and just hadn't realised ourselves it wasn't added on at time of payment. Luckily for staff we were still in the restaraunt.Thankyou to the staff at reflections for there great service. I look forward to visiting again. I recommend to all those looking for a nice, relaxed dining area with flavoursome food and polite staff then reflections is a good choice.

Fantastic British fair! 3 great courses and massively stuffed 1. Blue cheese / bacon salad2. Baked Scarborough Cod3. Cottage pie 4. Highly recommended bakewell tart dessert that is home made Special thanks to our waitress Denise who took amazing care of us. Thank you!We will see you again soon!

Excellent food took all of my family for lunch for my 80th birthday,the food the service was second to none,everyone enjoyed it tremendously, we all enjoyed every minute will recommend to all

My steak was excellent but my partner was not asked how she would like her's cooked, her veg was over cooked. Everything on her plate was swimming in meat juice so soggy chips! Young waiter attentive but a little slow to realise we had finished our meal so had to ask for bill about 25 mins later. Other than that it was lovely.

We stayed at The Crescent for 2 nights and stayed in to eat on the second night. . We had a drink in the bar before dinner and the whole atmosphere was very relaxing. The food was excellent and staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely eat here again.

Stayed at the Crescent for 3 nights and had dinner in Reflections on our first night. Excellent service and good food in a classic style restaurant. Would definitely eat there again when we return to Scarborough. Make your evening even better and stay over night in the Crescent.

We booked this restaurant for a meal for 5 of us at 7pm, I would say the restaurant was half full. The service was friendly and relaxed , decor is a step back in time but clean warm and inviting. Food was good, 4 of us had steaks all cooked differently from Rare, medium rare and medium, and they were all cooked just right with great taste. Desserts also very good would come here again.

Relaxing Sunday lunch at Reflections on 20th March. Pre lunch drink in the bar - they serve Wold Top Brewery beers on tap and good selection of wines etc. Great friiendly service, you can rest between courses without feeling rushed. Excellent choice of starters, I had Cod Goujons which were exceptionally light and fresh. Husband had the trio of yorkshire puddings, which is traditional - gravy was so good he used his spoon to get every last drop. These were huge and home made. Good choice of mains, lots of varied veggies including both roast and mashed potatoes. I had roast beef and hubby had pork steak on black pudding with a cider sauce - every last bit eaten. Also brilliant selection of desserts/cheese etc. Very reasonable cost for 3 courses. Between the two of us we also knew almost everyone having lunch in the restaurant that day - all locals and I feel that that says a lot about a place when they get a good reputation from the local trade. Look forward to going again soon.

Six of us dined at Reflections Restaurant on Mother's Day, we have dined here often and have always had a wonderful meal, delightful staff and very good value for money and a really enjoyable time. Although they were twice as busy as normal I would say, having to utilise an additional room to accommodate the number of diners, the service was still excellent and the food first class and no hike in Sunday lunch price because it was Mother's Day, which is uncommon. To sum up I would not hesitate to recommend Reflections for Sunday Lunch, it is a gem of a place and we are about to book in for lunch on Easter Sunday.

Why try the rest when youCan try the best. Warm friendly owners and staff, great tasting food, high quality presentation, great restaurant with tasteful decor and warm atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble, the roast sirloin of beef very tender and all locally sourced. The sweet potato and cream leek soup the best soup I have ever tasted. When today for mothers day and will be returning again for Sunday roast and even thinking about a Christmas booking. The chef is obviously highly trained and experienced. The owners were engaging and polite. Thank you all for today appreciated and we will return.Kindest RegardsMr Jamie Thornton

Excellent 4 course meal with very good service to boot! Morag the waitress is a real gem & her down to earth character shines through. Every course was well presented with just the right amount of time in between This was our 2nd visit and honestly cannot fault the bench has been marked.

My wife and I popped into the hotel bar for an afternoon drink and asked the bar man if he new a good place for an evening meal, he brought us a menu for the hotel resteraunt, Reflections; what a lucky break. We booked in and went back that night.The staff were excellent, the food was perfect, and the price was well affordable, have paid lots more for meals that dont compare. Will no doubt revisit this gem when next in Scarborough.

The food was fantastic and plenty of it the staff were more than helpful my husband said it was the best chicken soup he has ever had and I had the biggest fillet steak ever , I would 100% recommend this place for food ambience and the restaurant was tastefully decorated

My girlfriend and I had previously dined at Reflections last year (Feb 15) and we throughly enjoyed it last time. This time was even better and fresher in my mind, which encouraged me to write a well-deserved review of this superb restaurant.We booked for the Valentines meal for Sunday the 14th February, and we are really glad we did so. I should also mention that we stayed at the Crescent Hotel for the night, of which the Restaurant is occupied in.We paid £29.50pp for four courses, this also includes bread to start and coffee/tea to finish. We thought the price was reasonable for the high standard both the food and service was, both times we have visited.Firstly, as we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the restaurant staff as we came down from our room. The staff were attentive from start to finish. We were promptly seated and had the choice to choose where we sat. The tables were well-spaced out in the room and a decent size, which allowed us to a good talking distance from eachother.The drinks were quickly serviced, and a jug of water was a nice touch, without us having to ask for it. The waiter we had for the evening was well versed and regularly, but not too often, asked us how the food was. We liked this as it showed us that they cared for each of their customers.I would make individual comments about each meal, although all of it was at such a high standard, i couldn't pick fault with anything! They were very suitable portion sizes and the choice was good, not too much to choose from, but enough to satisfy your eyes. The quality of ingredients were excellent, especially my duck pate starter and my lamb main. Their was a good time between meals allowing you to talk about the meals and have a conversation between them, which were never rushed out to you.All in all, we would both definitely return to both the restaurant and the hotel. Fully-deserving a top score of 5*. Thankyou Reflections staff for such a memorable meal and enjoyable evening.

Visited on Friday 5th for a family meal for 5.Resturant was 80% full which gave a nice atmosphere .Service was professional and prompt .Main course of steak which we all ordered was each cooked to perfection.Empty plates all round.Good value given we had around of drinks before hand,wine with the meal,three courses and change out of £200.Go treat yourself to a lovely meal with nice ambiance and attentive service from smiling employees,something you do not see as often as you should.Its 5 * from me and my family.Neil.

From the staff, to the food, to the personal table visit from the owner; this place is something else. I can't rate it enough. The quality of the food is nothing short of breathtaking - the best fine-food restaurant for miles and miles. If you want to taste premium quality food then this is it. We will definitely be back. Amazing.

Booked a table for three for lunch on Christmas Day afternoon. It was a miserable, damp and chilly afternoon in Scarborough that day, however that soon changed when we entered the Crescent Hotel restaurant. What a homely and cheery interior. A wonderfully hearty welcome greeted us. The hostess took our wet coats, seating us in a very pleasant reception room complete with ottoman sofas and a welcome glass of prosecco. Not too long after we were escorted to our lovely decorated table and we embarked on a fabulously cooked five course Christmas Lunch. The outstanding aspect of the meal was the beautifully cooked vegetables. Often the quality of the veg and the standard of cooking of the sides can be very hit and miss. Not today, superbly flavoursome along with the rest of the food. The ham hock terrine was stunning. The pudding with brandy sauce, again a traditional favourite was just right. I would have liked to try the cheese board, however; I had reached the limit of what I could eat. Finally, the Carmenere was delightful. It is a pity I left the remainder of the bottle inadvertently on the table. Nevertheless, a tremendous afternoon with our hosts and thanks to all the staff at the Reflections Restaurant that made our lunch such a memorable one.

Big mistake! After reading the good food reviews on Trip we decided to cancel our reservation at Jeremeys due to the lack of choice on the menu and book Reflections. At £65 per head (same price as Jeremeys) our party of 4 expected a far higher standard of food than we were served. We all found the food very bland and tasteless the beef and pork were definitely cut on the cheap side. Nothing tasted like the descriptions on the menu apart from a couple of the deserts! So to sum up would we return or recommend NO!

Group of 5 of us went for work Christmas Meal and we all thoroughly enjoyed it - which is a first for many years. All the food was excellent, well cooked, great portions and yes plenty of veg which tends to be forgotten by many establishments when you have a Christmas Meal. It was so good that already talking about going back next year but also discussing Sunday Lunches etc. The location in town centre is also ideal. The service was also great, fast efficient and nothing too much bother. Would definately recomment.

Overall 7/10. Huge portions, attentive waitress and the setting in the dining room was alright nothing fantastic. Lots of mirrors everywhere...must be something to do with the restaurant name ?! We had starters mains & desserts all good, but the un-nerving thing was we were all alone in the restaurant. You could hear yourself speak and we prefer a bit of a buzz in a dining room.

Seven friends and I enjoyed a Christmas Meal at Reflections, situated in The Crescent Hotel. Food was excellent - all beautifully cooked, hot and tasty. I had terrine to start followed by rump of lamb with mashed potato and a delicious sauce, finishing with a lovely crème brulee. Other main courses enjoyed by the rest of the party were turkey, sea bass and beef. It's most unusual to go out with a large group and find that everyone enjoys the food. We would certainly return.

Dined in this restaurant as a party of 6 for dinner. The Reflections dining area is well dressed, clean and relaxed. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The food we ordered was very good and plentiful, except for the creme brulee, which 2 of our party had. This lacked taste and texture and was a poor finish to a good meal.The all important question. would I return? The answer is 'Yes'. An excellent venue for that special occasion based on price per head.

We visited the hotel to eat at reflections on seeing the vast range of stunning meals posted on a media app. On arrival we were made extremely welcome I had a question regards the menu and had the honour of meeting the head chief Keith who was very helpful and recommend meals to suit our tastes even for my 9 year old son. We where not disappointed with out choices it has to be one of the most enjoyable meals we have ever had each dish presented with passion and truly an attention to detail.Well done all can't wait to come back soon.

I wonder what really annoys people about a restaurant? Rhetorical question of course. We liked the look of 'Reflections', and having poked our noses inside the favourable impression remained so we sallied forth for dinner on a quiet evening in July. We don't eat a great deal, so we asked if we might mix and match and have two starters off the set menu as well as some other bits and bobs. Would this be OK? No problem we were assured. So we did, and we also had some chips and something else. And a bottle of wine and a soda for our daughter - so in terms of margins we were scoring well.The food was good. Enjoyable and went down well. When it came to settling up I was rather troubled to see that the food - suspiciously - was not itemised at all but simply lumped together at somewhere around 45 quid. I queried this and it was immediately obvious that this was pre-meditated overcharging. "Oh - yes - we charged for a starter and a main...". "But..." said I "we only had two starters"? "Ah yes..." came the answer "but we have to pay the staff and pay for laundry just the same"How utterly extraordinary. This is a restaurant which allegedly believes that they are allowed to make up the bill, and if you have a starter, or two starters, or two mains, or (presumably) 10 mains, the bill is the same. It was clear that the manager (or sub manager or assistant manager, or assistant to the assistant manager) knew deep down that this was deceitful because as soon as I questioned it the bill was corrected with profuse apology to what it should have been in the first place.But seriously - come on! Do you really think it is reasonable to make a deliberate choice to overcharge people and hope that they might not notice? If so you deserve to fail. Dreadful mean spirited attitude. And clearly one which they KNEW to be wrong in the first place - otherwise the food bill would have been itemised like it is in every restaurant in the country. There was a calculated intent to deceive which I find abominable. We will never return.

We really can not say a bad word about The Crescent Hotel or the staff.The food in Reflections restaurant is amazing at a reasonable price. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. We booked our meal for Reflections and as we have a little German Spitz dog (Rusty), who goes every where with us, they set a table up in the snug for the 3 of us. It was very special. As I said the food is amazing. On ordering our pre dinner drink a hearty bread board arrived with homemade breads and olives. The menu is very varied and changes twice a week. The food is as imaginative as it is tasty. Our whole dining experience was wonderful not least because of the very friendly and helpful staff. We also ate in the wine bar/bistro on the lower floor. They have a super carvery (7 days a week at lunch times, plus 5-8pm Sundays). The meat is some of the tastiest w have eaten and when you order a sandwich the meat is cut from the roast of the day.There is also a selection of other dishes available, if you don't want the carvery. For example the meat and mushroom pie, which Bob had, was excellent.We can not thank The Crescent enough and send our kind regards To Keith, the chef, Aden, who served us, Alia, on reception, Alan and Jodie in the Bistro bar and to the rest of the team we didn't have the pleasure to meet. We will certainly be eating at the Crescent every day next time we visit Scarborough as it really is hard to beat.Sarah, Bob and Rusty

Our party of four were greeted by a very welcoming host who gave the impression that nothing would be too much trouble, a good start to the evening. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and with the tables nicely spaced so as not to intrude on your fellow diners. All the staff were polite and attentive and enhanced our enjoyment of the evening.So, to the food. The portions are enormous. Our party chose a selection of starters from Cod goujons to smoked salmon and to be honest, the ladies in our party were just about full up. However, the men were made from sterner stuff so that when the Beef pie, Lamb, Pork medallions and Chicken together with vegetables and some delicious chunky chips turned up, we were able to give the food our proper attention. Almost. However, desserts were a no no. We did see some desserts being served and they looked fantastic but not one of us could find room to partake.There are a couple of minor niggles hence 4 stars,but they are really not worthy of mention. If I could award 4.5 stars I would.Overall, this restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, good food in enormous portions and represents very good value for money.

Live in Scarborough & this was our first visit to Reflections. Very impressed with the food. Delicious starters - mushroom soup & pate. Steaks & accompaniments beautifully cooked. Reasonably priced wine at £15. Staff polite & attentive. Definitely will be returning.

We booked a table and arrived early. We were welcomed but a lovely young lady who took our coats and brought us a menu. We chose fillet steak with different sauces which was cooked to perfection. The portions were very generous and we struggled to finish our desserts...but they were far too good to leave. The staff were warm and welcoming without being intrusive and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. We will definitely be going again on our next trip to Scarborough.It was a delight from start to finish. Thank you.

My wife and I ate dinner here on a very quiet Friday night towards the end of October. The value was very fair for the quality of food, wine and setting. There were damask tablecloths, curtains and floor carpet which made a nice presentation, and would have dampened noise from the tables. Also there were fresh flowers on the tables. However, only two tables were occupied.The meal courses were very filling and we could not manage a third from the set menu.A (very pleasant) young lady was being trained as a waitress on this occasion. Perhaps my only criticism would refer to the waiting staff clearing unused tables whilst the two tables were occupied.It would be nice to see the restaurant busier.

Staff great.Food sumptuous,both in flavour and presentation.Lamb tender and succulent. Vegetables cooked to perfection.

This restaurant is superb value for money. We dined here for our anniversary meal. The restaurant was quiet but it was if week. We had the 2 course menu as we were to full for the desert. We had 2 different starters my husband had coarse pate, which was very pleasant with plenty of pate and 3 different types of bread. I had cod goujons which were superb, lovely chunks of cod in a crisp batter. We both had the steak which was a slight addition to the cost but done superbly, the pepper sauce is excellent. All in all an excellent meal that was cooked very well and presented beautifully. Thank you for making our anniversary special. We will definitely dine here again when in Scarborough.

Our second visit to this Restaurant and the meal was once again, excellent . The staff make you feel very welcome and the service is first class . The restaurant is decorated with lots of mirrors , hence it's name, but the room is charming. Will definitely be eating here again .Wish I'd had room for the Chocolate Mousse, but maybe next time !

We have just had a small group retirement meal at this restaurant having had Christmas meals for the last few years at the same venue. The food and the staff are a credit to its owners who took over shortly before our firm's Christmas meal last year. Everybody is made welcome by staff and owners alike and all the food (without exception!) was stunning. All left needing to do a few laps of Scarborough as meal sizes are generous. Thank you for and we look forward to our Christmas visit this year.

Arrived at booked time of 7.15 to be seated next to the door for the kitchen. Staff rushing all over the place as they were still setting tables. Lovely complementary plate of olives, varous types of bread and butter served and a very nice starter. The main meal was dissapointing, my lamb was dry and tough served on top of tasteless mashed potato but served with very tasty jus. Im not sure why boiled potatoes and chips were served on the side as they were not necessary. The other meal was the chicken wrapped in bacon, the chicken was the tender and beautifull, the bacon was tough and far too thick. This was served with the smallest portion of vegetables ive ever been served, 1 piece of broccily between 2, 2 pieces of cauliflower and a couple of carrott pieces, asked for some more veg, this came 15 mins later. Offered a complementary sweet but declined and had a pot of tea instead. There was a wedding going on in another function room with staff walking through the middle of the tables with dirty dishes every 2 mins really spoilt having a really nice relaxing meal. While outside waiting for the taxi a guest from the function was talking on her phone saying how fabulous their food had been. If you go there you may have a lovely meal but you may not, seems a bit inconsitstant.

My husband and I went to Reflections on Friday night and we had the best meal we'd had in years!The food was outstanding, the steak was cooked to perfection, often when you ask for a steak to have no pink it is cooked within an inch of it' life, this was so tender an tasty. The wine was excellent, served at the right temperature and one of the cheapest of the menu. The head waitress was training a young lady with patience but she wasn't patronising to her. When talking about us it was always Mr & Mrs .... not the customer or table whatever. We were made to feel as if we were important to them. I cannot praise them all enough. I would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant to anyone wanting a perfect meal.

I have eaten here twice recently and it was very good indeed. The lamb was exceptional. The portions might be a little large for some - but everything was so delicious I managed to eat every morsel. Will definitely go again.

We booked after checking Trip Advisor and we can support the very positive comments this restaurant attracts. Tucked away in the quiet of a beautiful Victorian crescent, 'Reflections' is a delightful restaurant. The staff was excellent, Alia, who was new to the position working alongside Aiden, made an efficient, youthful team under the watchful eye of Morag. The food was beautifully presented and didn't disappoint. If you are looking for something a little different then this is well worth a try.

Me and other half booked a table here for a meal, the food was lovely reasonably priced brilliant staff and lovely restaurant. Will defiantly be visiting again ♡♡♡

My girlfriend booked this place for a meal when we stayed in Scarborough for a night. We were asked were we wanted to sit so we opted for the quiet corner. the ambiance of the restaurant is nice and calm. There is a set menu on offer, think it was around £25 for 3 courses. I ordered chorizo & feta salad and my GF ordered cod cheeks to start. Both presentation and taste and portion size excellent. We both ordered the lamb for main and we thought there would not be much on the plate due to the price but there was a really good portion, cooked to perfection, probably the best lamb I've had in a restaurant. Accompanying vegetables and potatoes also wonderful. We had to try a dessert despite been fit to burst, they were also delicious. All service staff were lovely and attentive, the food is of an excellent quality and standard. Will definitely go back if we visit Scarborough again.

We booked into Reflections Restaurant for our 19th wedding anniversary on a Monday night following the good reviews on Tripadvisor. We'd already eaten at CoGonis on the Saturday night, and Bryherstones Inn on Sunday night, which we really enjoyed.When we arrived at Reflections it was completely empty, but we were quickly followed by another couple who made me feel very overdressed. The staff were very attentive and friendly, brought us drinks, showed us to our table, which was in the window, nice and bright, and the dining room is beautiful, with a lovely ambience, and definitely set up for fine dining.My Hubby had a prawn starter, which he said was nice, then for mains he had steak, and I had plaice. I have to say we both thought they were ok, but nothing special, the meals didn't give us the 'wow' factor we were hoping for. I expected to be, and have been, blown away when eating meals at fine dining prices, so we were a little disappointed this wasn't the case with Reflections.I thought I'd try a dessert and went for the apple crumble. When it came it was smothered in custard and when I tried to dig my spoon in to break some off it was virtually impossible. I finally realised it was because I was trying to get through a whole baked or stewed apple with a little crumble on top, so I didn't particularly enjoy it (I like a fair amount of crumble with my crumble)The four stars we've given Reflections is mainly due to the great service and lovely surroundings. If we could have given 3.5, that would have been a fairer reflection (no pun intended) of our experience as far as the food was concerned.

We hadn't booked but had visited based on previous trip advisor reviews. The owners and staff, and other guests, made us feel incredibly welcome. Our meal was an 8/10. The only disapointment was my husbands chicken pie, which was still served in the baking tin and the crust was somewhat undercooked! Would return as the steak and starters were delicious!

We visited this Restaurant for celebrations of a friends birthday 7/8/15. The whole experience was excellent. the restaurant is very nice spotless clean, and the food was superb. The staff were very nice and advised us on what we needed to know about the menu. There were 4 in our party and everyone was very pleased with the whole experience of dining at Reflections. Everything was top class dining from the clean crisp table settings, serviettes, and cutlery. the food was lovely and served quite promptly at reasonable prices. All in all a brilliant place to spend a lovely evening. we will be returning very soon. We have found a jem of a restaurant.

We have been to Scarborough many times but never been to this gem of a restaurant before. The menu was amazing and after much deliberation I opted for the grilled plaice goujons which were beautifully cooked. If I thought the starter was good I was to be blown away by the main. I had the most tender steak I have ever tasted it was superb and accompanied by fresh veg and chips. My partner had melody of seafood in linguini which she was delighted with too. It was a fabulous evening and can I say a special thank you to the waiter who added to a memorable first visit to Reflections - we will definitely be back !!!

This is an excellent restaurant, First class food, excellent menu choice, good beer and first class friendly,caring service . The best restaurant in Scarborough and probably the best that I have ever visited. Thank you.

After seeing the raft of superb reviews for Reflections, I felt obliged to try it. The majority of diners on the night we went were hotel residents. The service was excellent throughout our meal. My preference is for seafood and fish, so I selected the starter of scallops, crab and prawns. It was genuinely woeful, with extremely small portions of the three shellfish ingredients, the scallops, in my view (and that of my wife) being inedible. My main course was a whole turbot with king scallops and was great, especially the scallops. The turbot was very small, and I expect it was farmed (not a problem) but it was very well cooked. My wife chose 'grilled plaice goujons' which were actually deep fried (and very tasty) and sirloin steak, which was very well cooked and very generous in size. I made reference to my dissatisfaction with the starter to the (very pleasant) waitresses after the starter plates were collected and at the end of the meal. The bill arrived and wasn't itemised, so I asked if it included my starter as I was very unhappy with it. The lady (who I assume was the owner/co-owner) returned to discuss the position. I was told that the scallops on the starter (queenies) were exactly the same as those on my main course (which were king scallops) which was clearly not the case.The key point here is not the detail of my particular issue, but the owner's approach to dealing with it and her general approach to customer service. All restaurants will get it wrong from time to time, but having the right attitude makes the difference between a customer who will return and one who may be very negative about their experience to others.

What a lovely restaurant. The staff are lovely and the food is excellent. We went both nights of our stay in Scarborough. The lamb was especially nice. Would definitely eat here again when in the area.

Came here to treat a family member and we were not disappointed. It was really refreshing to see attentive and caring staff, who looked after us from start to finish. The food was to an excellent standard and the restaurant exceeded all expectations! I will certainly be visiting Reflections again.P.S - Your new waiter did a brilliant job despite the pressure and he was very polite.

Very good meal here tonight with very attentive staff and nice atmosphere. Steak was particularly good.
