Marisco Lounge in Scarborough

Oh, let me tell you about Marisco Lounge; it's this gem right on the Scarborough seafront that really makes the most of its location with those huge windows and outdoor seats giving you cracking views of the harbour – perfect for whiling away an afternoon with a mate. The menu's a winner too, packed with all sorts of options from fresh seafood to vegan bowls and even specials for the little ones, and don't miss out on their deals like Tapas Tuesdays or that Cocktail Club offer; it's all pretty reasonably priced, which is a bonus these days. The arty decor gives it a cosy, eclectic feel that just makes you want to linger, and the staff are always up for a chat, making everyone feel welcome, including the furry friends with their bowls of water. That said, it's not flawless – I've heard a couple of folks mention that while the tapas are spot on, some of the main dishes like the flatbreads don't quite live up to the hype, and it can get a tad crowded when the weather's nice, so you might have to plan ahead. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed meal or drinks, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area looking for that easy-going seaside vibe.
