The Seaview Restaurant — Restaurant in England

We've been coming to back to Saltburn for years because of this fantastic gem of a restaurant.

Food is always fabulous and we've always had a brilliant, warm welcome where nothing was too much trouble. Until Monday.

We'd booked a 5pm table as we have a 2 year old and my 86 year old mother with us. Our walk on the beach didn't last as long as usual so we decided to ask at the restaurant whether we could take our table early to have a drink and enjoy the view before our booking at 5pm.

The restaurant was empty.

We were told, in no uncertain terms, the answer was no and that there was a sign downstairs which we should have read.

Ok, no problem...off to another establishment until our booking.

When we returned, we were seated on the terrace and our order taken by one of the fantastic young team members. The sun had started to set and, because there was a table still available in the sun and with no other customers other than one table already seated in the sun, we went to move our water and cutlery.

Apparently, a big no-no to according to the senior member of staff who advised us the kitchen would be confused by us moving and would we expect to do that in another restaurant?

Well, and I wish I'd said this then, the answer is a firm yes. If my 86 year old mother and 2 year old daughter are freezing cold I would look to move tables.

The reason that it would 'confuse the kitchen' just didn't make sense on a terrace containing just us and another table...with the waiting staff being the ones serving us - not the kitchen team. Strange.

The meal was phenomenal, the younger team members apologetic for their colleague who hasn't quite grasped the notion of hospitality in the sector they work.

With how spectacular the food was, I find it hard to believe a switch of tables would bamboozle the obviously highly talented kitchen team.

A call out to the management to please offer this team member some additional training and guidance as their demeanor, and unwillingness to accommodate some really inconsequential asks which led to an elderly lady and baby sitting in the cold unnecessarily, are highly likely to bring our 8 year love affair with your establishment to a end.

To the rest of you team and the kitchen - bravo...you...

As the sun begins to set here in the spectacular Saltburn-by-the-Sea, I've come to visit the best restaurant here @seaviewrestaurant 👌

Just relaxing watching the surf roll in 🌊🌊🌊🌞 glass of chilled albarino in hand 🍷 wondering what the fishing boat in the bay will land for tomorrow's lunch 🤔😊

The ever changing menu means I'm always trying something different and so today's offering 😊

I eventually made a decision from the abundance of delicious sounding starters, with scallops winning my heart ❤️

They say you eat with your eyes, and so it was when they arrived ❤️😋😊 Beautifully seared scallops served on roast celeriac, pickled apple & capers, toasted hazelnuts and chervil. The scallops were beautifully cooked, quite literally seared on the outside 😋 😍 the pickled apple & capers provided a wonderful acidity and the roast celeriac brought texture to this quite simply stunning dish 😋😋😍❤️

My grandad gave me a wide range of fish growing up, and one of my favourites was Hake 😋 so for main I couldn't resist the Hake Kiev 😊

Breaded Hake filled with Cep mushrooms, served on pomme puree, pickled shimeji mushrooms and tarragon buttered leeks. Oh my goodness, the Hake flaked to the touch and was matched perfectly with the cep mushrooms filling 😋😍 The pomme puree was every bit as good as it sounds, velvety smooth potato puree, and delicious leeks, cooked just the soft side of al dente were a dream accompaniment to my second stunning dish 😋😋😍❤️

Dessert choice was more problematic given my dislike for exotic fruits which discounted 2 of the 4 desserts, not liking rice pudding discounted a third which left only one!!! 😅

Lemon posset with sour cherries, cherry compot, nut & cherry brittle & micro herbs 🌿 I'm not convinced that sour lemons and sour cherries are a match made in heaven, but that could just be my personal preferences. The lemon posset was delicious 😋, but whilst I ate the sour cherries I'm not sure I'd order them again 😅

Wonderful warm hospitality, stunning food, great location overlooking the bay. Thank you @seaviewrestaurant for looking after me so well and for the stunning food 😋😋😋😍😍

If you are in the area you simply must come and visit them for a wonderful dining...

Nestled in the picturesque town of Saltburn, The Seaview Restaurant offers a dining experience that tantalizes the taste buds while treating patrons to a breathtaking coastal panorama. My recent visit to this culinary haven left me satisfied, though not without a few nuances.

Let's start with the star of the show—the fish and chips. The Seaview Restaurant has truly mastered the art of this British classic. The golden, crispy batter encasing the flaky fish was a symphony of textures, and the accompanying chips were a perfect balance of fluffy interior and crunchy exterior. Each bite transported me to a seaside culinary paradise, making it evident why locals and visitors rave about their fish and chips.

The real showstopper, however, was the view. Perched on the edge of Saltburn, The Seaview Restaurant lives up to its name with an unparalleled vantage point of the ocean. The expansive windows allowed diners to soak in the mesmerizing scenery, transforming the meal into a visual feast that perfectly complemented the delectable dishes.

While the food and view undoubtedly stole the spotlight, the service was slow. Although the staff was friendly and accommodating, the pace of the meal left room for improvement. However, it's essential to note that the breathtaking backdrop and the scrumptious fare may well compensate for the leisurely service, especially if you're in the company of good conversation and a relaxed mindset.

The Seaview Restaurant's commitment to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients was evident in the quality of the dishes. The dedication to authenticity, especially in fish and chips, is commendable and adds an extra layer of appreciation for the culinary experience.

In conclusion, The Seaview Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking a delightful combination of exceptional fish and chips and an unparalleled seaside view. The culinary journey may require patience due to the leisurely service, but the overall experience is well worth it.
