Ditto — Restaurant in England

Found this place whilst visiting Whitby. Managed to get my wife and I booked in on a Wednesday evening and we are so glad we did. Cosy little restaurant with only enough seating for about 20 people, a party of four is the biggest that can sit at one table. Very attentive staff who were always on hand but not intrusive.
