What User likes about The Royal Oak:
I came here for dinner with my mom on a Thursday night and had a fabulous time. We ordered one of their salad specials and wing specials to share and they were nice enough to spit it between the two of us. We actually thought that they gave us each a salad order because the portions were so big!Our server was excellent- very attentive. Believe they have live music there on Thursdays too so the place filled up rather... View all feedback. What Katarina H doesn't like about The Royal Oak:
I concur with the numerous negative reviews regarding the subpar service at this restaurant. Despite attempts to contact the owner for resolution, I received no response - just silence. It's disappointing that the excuse of "miscommunication" has persisted for years. It's a shame that loyal customers are not treated better. Thankfully, Whitby has plenty of other fantastic dining options to choose from. View all feedback.
