Went for a drive down the coast for the day and chose the Scarborough Hotel to dine at. Such an amazing view overlooking the water (make sure to get a table outside), and great service.
Food was quick, reasonably priced and quite tasty, as well as a big variety of drink options to choose from.
Great day to be overlooking the water. Wonderful seat on the balcony enjoying a cup of amazing Vittoria Coffee and eating the Lamb and Cous Cous salad.
Very beautiful hotel with amazing locations. The sea food was very tasty specially crabs and prawns. Staff is very friendly. Love to visit again, highly recommend.
Visited the Scarborough Hotel on a short drive down the coast for the day. During winter, so the weather was clear and perfect. If you do live in Sydney, I would really recommend doing this!
Food: I had the Grainfed Sirloin Medium Rare which was delicious!
Service: You don't see too much of the staff when sitting on the lawn/ downstairs and this could have been because of a mid-week lunch there weren't a lot of people around.
Ambience: Loved the vibe. Very relaxed which is what I look for. You cannot go past the view. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Love this place. Amazing view matched by outstanding service and awesome food.
We had the salmon with mashed potato and salsa verde. It was absolutely delicious.
Cute pub set at the foot of the mountains, boasting picturesque views of the ocean and stanwell tops. Quite a short menu, wouldn’t recommend it if you don’t like seafood; in saying that - the food wasn’t too bad. The coffee, along with the view was probably the highlight for me.
Went here for a friend's birthday lunch. Unfortunately the weather didn't hold out for us but it was a great spot nevertheless. We sat upstairs as it was undercover and heated.
A beautiful spot and a beautiful view.
The food was decent but nothing standout. I'd definitely go back but for the location more so than the food.
My reviews are based on my personal experience of visiting this Restaurant and can be categorised as per below :

We got mosquito in our of salads but this was for the first time.
Olive was missing in one of our salads.
Overcrowded between 12-1:30 PM M-F
Totally came for the view, better come early if you want to save a seat outside overlooking the ocean, if not, then it’s good to walk out after.
We got the cheeseburger and the sirloin, it was very yummy (we were also very hungry). The chips are very well done. Steak is actually cooked to medium rare and it was juicy and tender.
Burger is flavourful and intact. View is unbeatable.
This location is spectacular. I love sitting out on the cliffside garden with a glass of wine or cider and watch the ocean and sometimes spy a whale! The cafe right at the entrance is also lovely to enjoy a coffee or tea with pastry, the lemon meringue tart is delicious. I haven't tried the food menu but this is my go-to spot when taking a drive along the coast on a sunny day.
Love this place, never been disappointed, not the cheapest Gastro Pub around but I challenge you to find a better beer garden or outlook. We have seen whales breaching while sipping on ciders or downing beers with a choice steak, restaurant is always busy on weekends the beer garden kitchen has some great options if you're frugal
Great views from the garden area on the back of the hotel and super food. Decent sized portions. Loved sitting around and soaking in the views while enjoying some fresh seafood.
Lovely view combined with good food, what else? Stay away from the pasta, though, but apart from that the seafood and the salads were really good.

En route down the south coast, we couldn't miss this supposedly iconic hotel located on the edge of the water. The location is wonderful, high up & with breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean and coastline. It has a beer garden which is great for lunch or a drink on a sunny day. There is a variety of food on the menu which includes all the pub and bistro classics. The food is good but not mind blowing and a little on the pricey side. So come here to relax, appreciate the views and enjoy a refreshment which is the perfect pit stop for a road trip.
The Scarborough Hotel is a must do on a sunny day. Great for a day trip from Sydney and perfect date location.
The view out the back is breathtaking and only gets more amazing the more you look.
The food is pretty average, but you don't mind so much with the view.
Gorgeous drive, with a lovely pub with a lovely view at the end. Absolutely no need for the queue; 30% of the tables are reserved with >2hr no show. Stupid system. Let people in to wait around the bar with a drink, that's what we did and pulled up a piece of grass next to several empty tables.
I've been told by many to head to Scarborough Hotel, it's a bit out of the way for me but today I decided to head out there. I'm not sure why I put off going there for so long, this place is stunning. We just stopped in for a beer to check it out, the atmosphere was really casual and friendly. All the food looked fresh and delicious. I imagine it would be a great place for a birthday function, a real kid friendly environment. Without a reservation don't expect to sit at a table with just your partner, friends or family. You may be asked to share with others. None the less, Scarborough Hotel is a gem on the eastern coast and is worth going for, for the view alone.
The car drive down is just gorgeous and when the weather is sunny then this place is the best place to stop by. Its on the tad pricey side but your probably paying a premium for the wonderful ocean views your getting while you smash down a burger.
Amazing view!!! Best beer garden ever!! Service was friendly and we got our meals fast. The meals were a good size and delicious! We will be back!
Wow!!!!. What a great place a diamond on the coast, john dory was prefect
I cant rave enough .. so pleased too see young staff being so respectfull and pleasant, management should b very proud......
SEE YOU SOON
This is an amazing venue. Its has beautiful views and great food. The staff were very friendly and good to have a chat with. Will definitely be returning here soon!
Beautiful location on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon! It’s only one hour drive from Sydney, not to mention the priceless views.
The fish and chips was delicious, it was soft and flaky, not too fishy at all. The beets and pumpkin salad was flavorful with just the right amount of dressing. Burgers, pasta, prawns and oysters were also on the menu. They have a great selection of items for everyone. A very classy place with great service! Highly recommended
This location is fantastic on a bright and sunny day. Nothing like pub food and beer with a view. However like the other comments, can be better with the quality of food. Got the beef burger and chicken burger. I’d rate it above average for the food so def still room for improvement. Will recommend this as a pit stop if you’re driving past Sea Cliff Bridge.
Staff were very accommodating and friendly, considering we arrived at time the kitchen was preparing to close! They have a clever and efficient ordering system.
Even on an overcast day, the atmosphere at the Scarborough is very relaxing and beautiful. The garden is designed to tolerate some wet weather so you can still enjoy yummy, fresh food with an exquisite ocean view.
The ocean view is stunning. We came at 11am without reservation and were lucky to get a big table in the balcony! On-site parking is quite limited. Burger is a bit dry and other food are average…paying the price more for the view :) it’s still worthwhile to pay a visit here.
Beer always hits the spot. Meals are.... portions are very small for the $$. Location is A+++. Edit- I was wondering if my view on the food was experienced by others and upon review of the review I was not surprised. When will this establishment take note that food quality and portions are important. With this location it could be rated up there with the best hotels on the east coast.
Excellent location and delicious food, however it is a bit expensive and a 15% public holiday surcharge doesn't help. Also had to wait almost an hour for the food today as they were understaffed. I really did enjoy the seafood pie and pasta though, and would like to come back when it is less busy.
Nice pub on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. Lots of tables outside and room for kids to play. Food's okay but portions are a bit stingy and they charge you 12.5% extra on Sundays which I find a bit off putting. Minus one star for that. Can't they just factor in and average out costs like other businesses? Parking is also extremely limited. Be prepared to park a long way down the road and walk back. Overall though it's a nice place with friendly staff and the view is amazing.
We went for lunch and the salad was so friggen good there. There are three on the menu and we tried two - the chicken salad and the mango salad my golly god I 100% recommend these two, they were both fresh to the max! Aahhh I wanna get it again srsly best salad I cry.. we also ordered pasta, fish and chips, garlic bread and calamari. Fish and chips super nice, rest were okay ish. But please get those salads omgoodness
