We went for lunch 2/31 around 1:45 , just 2 of us. There was no one at reception or the bar. We waited a bit and then sat ourselves. There was a table of 8 and 2 tables of 2. Absolutely NO ONE came to our table for maybe 10 minutes and they CLEARLY saw us sitting waiting. It was the rudest experience I have ever had. So we left and went to Otis and Oliver’s where the service was outstanding and the food excellent. I had never been to Scarborough’s before and I will not be back. I’ll stick to the restaurants that want our business. O and O, Sake, Bellinis, tipsy moose, Klamers, Latham diner, Phillys, Grill 110, Swifty’s, Lanies. There are so many options for places to go with good food and attentive service.

Just the right place to be comfy to discuss the day with the " right one," catch my drift if you know what i mean

Lovely elegant pub setting for a quiet, intimate dinner. The servings were large enough to enjoy my leftovers for lunch the next day.Parking: Convenient, close to front door. Fairy lights make delightful paths

Waiter wasn’t very friendly, didn’t even tell us his name, felt like he was just rushing and doing the bare minimum. Menu looked great but food was just okay. Expensive too. Don’t get the beef stroganoff it was really bad and smelled bad too. The fish was good but small portion. I’m sure the other food is good and we just happened to get the just okay kind of meals. The place itself is very nice. Tons of seating and there is a bar.

Love the "Beef on 'Weck" sandwhich, and their French Onion soup is excellent. Bar is somewhat limited but friendly. Bar closes early (8:30) on weeknights.

My friends and I arrived here for lunch and were greeted with by a young man who was gracious in holding the door open for my friend using walking sticks. Upon entering we were impressed with how homey the place was. So far so good. We had never been there before so needed a minute to decide on drinks and food. Our waiter was very impatient with us. He never smiled, offered water or came back to check on us if anything else was needed. Seeing we finished eating he threw one take out container down on the table and when I commented I needed one too he threw it down across the table to me. He then grabbed our wine glasses off the table even though I wasn’t finished with my drink. Believe me his tip reflected his service! I’m usually very generous but left him a minimum amount( not that he even deserved it)! The food itself was pretty good and as the lunch hour went on they were busy so I’m hoping he was just having a bad day and will try this place again.

First visit ever here, six of us went to Scarboroughs on a Monday night in January 2024 for a double birthday celebration in (day of my son's 26th, & my wife's 60th the next day). We immediately loved the restaurant and vibe, very nice setting, good music in the background (note about that below), and surprisingly a nice small crowd for a Monday. We had a round of really nice cocktails (Martinis, Manhattans, Wine, & Craft Beer) and had an outstanding Waitress (Katelyn, I think?) who was pretty cool, engaging and fun & attentive without overdoing it.The menu had a good variety of choices, pretty extensive and fun, definitely plenty of choices for everyone. We split a few Apps (notable! the Hot Honey Chicken Fries, very different kind of App & not to miss). Then, each dinner was excellent, picture perfect & beautifully presented: a Pepper Jack Bacon Chicken, my Rosemary Chicken Gardeniere, a Pesto Ravioli, a Ravioli Mare (rich with seafood!), and two had a Sausage & Peppers Bruschetta. Everyone just loved their dinners, a rare thing for a med-large group.I felt a bit of pressure on myself to choose a good restaurant for the birthday people & the whole group six (ages 20 - 83), and I chose this restaurant based on some good reviews and nice menu choices. I was so happy that this worked out, and more importantly, everyone really liked this place for all the reasons noted.We're definitely planning to return, for the menu, the staff & service, and the pretty cool & comfortable vibe - obviously I can't say enough good things about our visit. We also found it moderately priced, reasonable with nice sized servings. The bar is really inviting, and I'd love to return just to hang there as well.Lastly, my son (26) & I made a point to tell the wait staff and then an owner that we loved the music & nice vibe, that they actually had a really cool Indie music playlist going on in the background - and not the usual offensively bad pop that many places do; we had a nice brief chat about that, and even the two older people in our group said how much they liked the music in the background as "unfamiliar though really enjoyable" (I'll remember that when I put it on in the car for them in the future! :). Credit to the ownership & management for setting a nice vibe, doing something a little different, especially nice for those who notice these things.
