What a sweet gem of a seaside restaurant that my friends and I had lunch in during the Whitby Gothic Weekend.\n\nFirst of all the name! Moon and Sixpence, so incredibly charming and magical- swoooon. I want to change my name to 'Moon-and-Sixpence', I love it so much. The food and service was just as good as the name. I ordered an espresso martini to start because you know I do love a martini! This cocktail really should have been ordered at the end because it was sweet and creamy with a little espresso bean on the top. For the entr\u00E9e we all ordered the clam chowder because when you are seaside the natural rule is to order something seafood like. When the bowls of clam chowder arrived I knew we all made the perfect decision. The clams were in shell and it was a good sized serving. I do recommend the clam chowder even on it's own and not being a starter because it is truly filling. The clams were fresh and the chowder was hearty and delicious. My friends and I also ordered some chips, fries to the American Audience. We ordered regular salted chips and the crab chips for sharing. The salted chips were good on their own but all of us could not help but indulge in the crab chips. See my photo of the crab chips with the heaping mound of fresh crab placed on top of chips. Truly magnificent!\n\nThe service was just as fantastic, everyone was kind and seemed to enjoy the Whitby Gothic crowd. The interior is charming and something you would expect in a little British seaside town. \n\nMoon and Sixpence you got my love!"^^ . "8"^^ .
