CoGonis, Scarborough

This year, we decided to go up the road to Scarborough for our winter break. Little did we know that the mid-february weekend we chose was to be the heaviest snowfall of the whole winter. After a stroll on the beach, which left us with a loss of feeling in both our fingers and toes, we decided to cheer ourselves up with a posh meal.

Best thing we ever did.

This restaurant is something quite special. Unlike most others in its price range it gets the balance between portion size and flavours bang on. You really can't go hungry, and you won't be disappointed. We had the Seafood Linguine and the Rack of lamb, and were blown away by the quality. It feels like so much care and attention has gone into each dish that you forget that there are other people in the restaurant too. Even the staff were great. There was no feeling of: "I'm just asking you if you've had a nice day so I might get a tip out of you, even though I feel like shit and just want to go home" (As a past waitress, I've been there...) These people were genuinely warm and friendly.

So, I was afraid we might end up with pretenious little portions, but these hearty meals kept us warm through the blizzard on the walk home.
