Straits Cafe Scarborough

Nice atmosphere and great atmosphere. Wine was fantastic although well and truely overpriced!

Amazing food,service was fantastic
Beautiful view
Very happy

It tasted like the food was cooked two days ago and just heated up. 2 of the entrees were just frozen stuff and deep fried.

Lovely food, awesome service.

We went on a windy Sunday afternoon. The waitress was lovely and very attentive. Food arrived in good time and was delicious. I had pork belly and hubby had fish. His serve was a little on the small side. There was only four other people there and so it was quiet, which we enjoy. The view is great of course opposite the beach but the windows are a mess! It’s a shame they don’t fix the tinting because it’s really scratched and actually ages the restaurant instead of being an amazing feature. Having said that we’ll definitely go back for the food.

We had a very nice meal, and service was very good too.

Very limited options for the price especially in the fruit and yogurt.
For a buffet we wouldn't go back as value not there for us.

Awesome experience. Service by Brittany was fabulous. She is delightful. Food was great & plenty of deliciousness. Will definitely be back.

Entree selection difficult nothing common or usual to pick from

The setting is lovely and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would have liked some more fresh fruit. Otherwise very good.

Good food, nice and quiet for lunch, overall enjoyable although my dessert came a long time after my coffee. I thought they had forgotten.

Great customer service.
Great breakfast.
Hotter coffee would be great.
Staff were fabulous and very hard working. They deserve a raise!

The entrees were average (arancini a bit dry & you had to search for the very small pieces of squid in the squid salad) but all of our mains were delicious. The service was mainly good but given it wasn't very busy we were disappointed when we had to go to the desk to get a wine menu and then go back to place the order because there was no-one around to take the order.
Overall not bad

I really enjoyed the quality of the food. Staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you

Great ocean views from a window side table. Excellent choice of wines with a range where you could purchase by the glass. Able to choose a wine to complement each course. Had the beef brisket for main course which was delicious. The desserts were magnificent and shared portions with others at our table. Service was prompt and attentive during the evening. Overall a great experience.

We dined on a Thursday evening, the restaurant was fairly quiet. The staff were excellent and really looked after us. Our food was delicious and very well priced. Would definitely go back again.

Food was tasty but vegetables were too raw. Service was excellent. Amount of the food was discussted. Amount we paid, we didn't get even half of the value. Never come back or we will never recommend to anyone.

Food and service both of a high standards. Views amazing.

Food was ok. Not very exciting choices.

Waitress was not overly friendly. Very matter of fact. Didn’t listen carefully to our orders. Had to repeat.

Kitchen didn’t get order right. Asked for no tomato in steak sandwich but got tomato. Ordered chips and aioli but they didn’t send aioli. Scallops and pork was delicious.

We ordered chips to share and go with the scallops and steak sandwich. It would have been nice if waitress had said steak sandwich comes with chips already do you want extra? We had way too many chips.

Wouldn’t rush back there.

Great food and staff were very friendly. Great view of the sunset.

Very ordinary buffet breakfast. Food cooked very quickly when plated as the aircon was very cold. Only twelve diners during the two hours we were there.

Quiet, some food was on the bland side, portions are not big, windows were dirty so the amazing view was dampened a little

You geeat food the girl look 15 but20 a credit you very nice friend petson

It was a lovely atmosphere and service was friendly. Our meals were tasty, apart from the beef brisket. It was so tough (very difficult to cut through), no remotely like a brisket should be. My husband couldn't eat it and politely advised the waitstaff that it was not acceptable and just to please let the chef know he was unable to eat it. We thought it would've been comped from our bill, but it wasn't. We didn't want to complain further so paid and left. Steer clear of the brisket if you eat there.

Chairs need replacing as they are old and have no padding. The menu was small and has no options that were without a heavy carbohydrate load. Won't be going back for lunch again and not until they have new chairs.

Lovely view, great service, food was tasty. Our only issue was that the desert menu wasn't exciting so we skipped that course.

We had the pork cheek and it was melt in your mouth so we enjoyed our meal immensely many thanks

Lovely views and good service. It would be better if the share plates of salads and vegetables came with servers to reduce the risk of cross contamination from the use of our own forks.

One of the dishes ordered was not as described on the menu. When this was queried the staff did not resolve the query objectively and the customer service was poor.

Perfect place for my birthday!!

Good food good service needs some nice background music

Food was okay, my lamb was a bit too rare for my liking. Linguine was oily and not tasty.

Went early 5:30pm Friday night so could watch sunset. Waitress was very helpful,friendly & fun. All 4 meals were lovely especially the linguini! We shared dessert & the apple tart was delicious - wish I had of ordered my own.! Would definitely go again.

Overall the food was really very nice and the view was lovely. The service was poor. The waitress serving us said it was her first night and was not helpful and bordering on rude during our entire seating.

After our main we asked for dessert menu which came after an eye roll. We waited 10 minutes for our order to be taken but it never happened. We ended up walking out and had coffee/dessert elsewhere.

Given a voucher as a wedding anniversary gift. Although we had a reservation we were given a poor table near entrance so my view was of the lobby. This was disappointing considering couple before us who had not booked were given a much better table. My first course was undercooked and so not edible, I did let the waitress know and she apologised and took the cost off the bill. The food was ok but nothing special. Wouldn't bother returning myself.

We went there for dinner whilst staying in the hotel. It was quiet, but the service was fabulous and the food fantastic

We found the Saturday breakfast experience at Straits cafe a delightful start to the day. The service was excellent, as was the food and of course the wonderful location!

The only negative we experienced was on seeking to leave the car park at Rendezvous, the ticket machine did not accept our parking ticket. There was no indication the parking was free and we wasted a lot of time determining the exit

2 waitstaff could not cope with number of tables. We waited for ages for a menu. Then waited more for them to take our drinks order. Then waited again for our main order to be taken. Dessert menu wasn't offered, we had to request one. We were there for a lot longer than needed.
Please retrain your wait staff

Amazing food, shame about the slow service, and lack of a full bar.
