"My wife and I dined at this restaurant last Wednesday evening on the 13th of September. We were warmly welcomed and given time to peruse the menu, which had a fantastic variety of dishes. We decided on a set menu for two, which was absolutely delicious. The food was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Furthermore, the owner, along with his young waitress and waiter, were very friendly and attentive. They even asked if we wanted to take our time before selecting a dessert. My only regret is that we live on the mainland and won't be able to visit this amazing restaurant again soon."

"The food at this restaurant was amazing! We tried a variety of dishes such as the chicken burger, peri peri chicken, Mac n cheese, and gammon, all of which were cooked perfectly. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the prices were very reasonable. The only suggestion for improvement is the interior design, but we understand that there has been a recent change of ownership and this may take some time. Overall, we highly recommend this place and encourage others to support their local pub. Fantastic experience!"

"Went to the IOW on business and had a 6.15 ferry from Lymington so a 4.30 start in London...on arrival in Yarmouth I really needed a light breakfast and cup of Tea. As I was early I walked into the The George Hotel opposite PO41 (they open at 7.30 for a walk in breakfast. On hearing the £30 charge they offered to me (obviously do not need or want the money and as a hotel i am assuming they are doing breakfast?? I decided to wait for PO41 to open. What a great decision. It must be one of the only places to open early as there was a stream of people waiting to be served. I only had Tea and a croissant at that point but was exactly what i needed to get me going. On my return to Yarmouth i went back in and got a Sandwich and another Tea for the Ferry. Excellent staff, very attentive and looked a good team. Great selection of cakes, sandwiches etc, and a small area to sit if you need. Give these people your money."

"Located at the far end of Shanklin seafront, below the Chines, this restaurant was a hidden gem. We went for dinner and enjoyed the lovely food and atmosphere. I started with the Goats cheese and had Seafood spaghetti for my main, while my wife had Tiger prawns followed by fish & chips. All of the dishes were delicious. The restaurant was able to accommodate our pram, and the changing facilities were convenient. Overall, we would recommend this restaurant."

"The Blue Door is the best cafe ever. Their menu is delicious and mouthwatering, with options for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and high tea. The staff is gorgeous, kind, caring, and fun. I love that they have a license to sell alcoholic beverages, which is a must for me when dining out. As a longtime Newport resident, I have been coming here with my family and friends for decades. I had a wonderful lunch with my sister today and we are planning to come back again tomorrow. - Carolyn and Jenny."

"We have used this place since the 90s and we had our local friends group there for Christmas Dinner here 2022. My husband had a message pop up advertising £25 for 2 drink 2 meals and urged us to go down. I urged him to phone and check, was told 'yes I 'm sure that 's everything on the menue ' booked tonight (wed) and went down. Was taken to the outside (slightly outdated) dining room for the meal despite offering the bar area, reason we did that was because waitress was already muttering 'can 't do 6 things at once ' in front of us. We sat and when someone (not waitress) asked our order we ordered drinks and asked if everything was actually on the 2 for £25 deal (again) server said he would check. Server came back with a word document with what was/wasn 't on deal not massively impressive given the FB promo. We felt a bit embarrassed at this point as he 'd been gone a while. Ordered 2 beyond burgers checked fries were on the menu as all the word doc. said was 'beyond burger ' and previously its come with different chips due to no meat contamination. 45mins later food came (this is a 1/2 empty room I can 't call it a restaurant). Waitress literally dropped plates and shot off. I flagged her to ask for another drink, she left and we looked at burgers that looked quite greasy and had cheese on. Bearing in mind we have ordered and had these burgers before which are advertised as vegan we were surprised at cheese. Couldn 't check menu as we were just shown a hasty word doc. When the waitress returned with drinks we asked her what these burgers were, she came back saying meat; we asked to cancel order as expecting vegan. Male server came back v defensive and quite patronising 'they are meant to look like meat it 's veggie hence the cheese vegetarians can eat cheese '. Then went. At this point we were both embarrassed and upset; hadn 't been asked if we needed any extra sauces/sides. Had to wait a further 5 mins before someone else appeared to say we would just pay for drinks and leave food. £23 spent for drinks and poor service. As we left the restaurant the glass collector who took our plates was very verbal into the kitchen 'look they 've not touched it ' and the male server was seemingly angry when we went to the bar to pay for drinks. The barman that served was very polite which shows its not all lost but the service was poor and its put us off as locals which is a real shame."

"My absolute favourite place for lunch, coffee, cake and heavenly frozen yoghurt Froyo’s! Fresh, delicious salads, wraps, baguettes and more. All hand made with care and attention in front of you. Lovely spot to people watch, light, bright and sunny. The staff are always super efficient and friendly as well. My favourite thing in the world is their banana froyo’s there are to die for."

"We went here as it had some great GF options listed including a pie which never happens. I don't know if it's because it was a weekday or not but there was only one chef on and we waited an hr for our food to arrive. We kept being told we arr next and it's being plated up. I am disappointed that there was no indication on arrival that there were delays to the service which leads me to think this is standard. We didn't have dessert as we were originally planning as we didn't want to wait another hour for that. My partner who had the GF pie later had a major stomach upset throughout the night and most of the next day. I imagine this could be because the lone chef was under a lot of pressure. I feel should there have been more people in the kitchen this would have been a much better experience and is probably down to saving money, which unfortunately meant we didn't spend as much in there as we would have."

"My freind had eaten his food before mine didnt ever arrive. Appalling service, lazy distracted staff all totally disorganised Arrogant unapolagetic management will soon learn that customers vote with their feet. Last weeks nut roast was raw in the middle but I was so pleased there was a vegan menu I didnt complain. Best part of tha meal was the fresh carrots. Will not go there until they change hands again Such a shame, the last owners had built up a brilliant reputation over years of hard work for really good freshly made vegan food. So disapointed we came long way for this ****."

"Wow! After years of badly cooked vegetarian lasagne, the ubiquitous goats cheese tartlet and the dreadful mushroom risotto we struck so lucky with this amazing restaurant. I'm still reeling from the shock of such a superb meal with really original flavour combos. First course, a butternut squash veloute with truffle oil, feta crumbled into it and crispy thyme leaves on top. This tasted lovely, though I cook something similar at home and it wasn't outstanding. The second course was mushroom and chestnut risotto , but not as you know it! The risotto was cooked perfectly with a lovely deep flavour. But it came topped with toasted nuts and seeds, crispy parmesan crumb and crispy tiny pieces of dried,fried onion. ..absolutely delicious with layers of flavour and real depth. I'm afraid I ate it before I remembered the camera! Hu Third course was a fat cut of roasted celeriac flavoured with Ras el hanout, on top of a delicious mix of little green lentils and bulgar flavoured with lemon. Strips of perfectly al dente courgettes surrounded by smoked chilli sauce , a few chickpeas and blobs of pea puree lifted it to superb. The fourth course was a rissole of toasted polenta. I'm not a polenta fan, not liking the grittiness, but this was smooth and had a thin layer of Cheddar melted on top along with a big portion of black olive tapenade, all sitting on wilted spinach . It was all set off with an excellent pesto dressing and decorative blobs of carrot and pea purees and tiny picante peppers. The tapenade might have tasted sharper with Kalamata olives, but that is picking hairs. Pudding was superb and I couldn't finish it all. A long strip of dark and white chocolate delice lay next to a generous blob of salted toffee ice-cream and trails of caramel sauce. Blackberries contrasted with the sweetness along with delectable blobs of sour blood orange gel. How on earth can the duo who run this lovely place afford to produce such a superb meal for just £45? It is absolutely amazing value. I can't recommend it highly enough...do go!"

"Firstly, the pub itself was delightful an absolute warren of different spaces. Loo was spotless like the pub itself, eclectic in taste. Food was first class Yorkshire puds were outstanding, I’d go so far as to say the best I’ve had. Cauliflower cheese was gorgeous, plentiful meat veg nicely cooked. Now for the bits not so good; service was shambolic. We were asked 3 times by different waitresses if all was well. The fact they had a mechanical fault meaning orders didn’t get to kitchen is neither here nor there, but after 50minutes we asked on the foods arrival we were told of the issue. It could should have been handled much better. Plates etc were left on tables for new guests to sit down to. Desserts were a mixed bunch, pavlova was lovely but the crumble was not a crumble no crumble topping but a muesli type topping. Would I return? Possibly."

"3 of us went for dinner at stripped the night before my wedding. From the moment we walked in the service was impeccable, we all had different beers from the wide selection available whilst deciding what to order to eat. After a long debate we all decided to go for the special bbq smash burger (I think that’s what it was called) with 2x crab mayo fries and 1x fusion fries on the sides. The burger was without a doubt the best burger I’ve ever had (I’ve had many a burger over the years) it was so good, cooked to perfection. The fries were also amazing. 100% best burger you’ll find on the island! Thanks to all the staff for a brilliant experience…..we will be back! Unfortunately I was enjoying the food so much I forgot to take any pictures."

"This cafe is a great spot with a unique decor. My brother, who is a vegetarian, was pleased with the options available to him - he simply asked for what he wanted. The service was excellent, and we had a delicious breakfast meal. The prices were very reasonable, ranging from £1-10 per person. The food, service, and atmosphere all scored a perfect 5. I would somewhat recommend this place for vegetarians, as the offerings may not be extensive."

"The worst Chinese I've ever sampled. Ordered Chicken in Satay sauce, which didn't even taste of peanut. All Satay dishes I've had from other restaurants has a peanut colour is is relatively thick whereas this VERY poor example was runny with a weak brown colour, more like black bean sauce. Their chef insisted that it was Satay and I wasn't going to hang about to argue the fact just know that it did NOT have a peanut flavour. The other dish I had was also the poorest I've tasted. Do yourself a favour travel the extra quater mile and try one of the 2 lovely Chinese takeaways that are in Lake High St."

"This place is magical! The team are simply amazing and give a seemless service every vist. We came today for our Christmas dinner, it was divine from the moment we arrived. We were lucky enough to get the perfect seat in the window too! The spectacular setting, hotel itself and warm welcome from the staff make it extra special . The food was delicious, the thought and time gone in to each dish was easy to see and a delight to taste. A big thank you for making our day the best Christmas can be a difficult time for people, you all had a smile through the busiest day, it was an absolute privilege to dine at your place today, I thank you! Highly recommend a visit whether it’s drinks or dinning. A special place with a very special team!! Big love guys, hope you’re getting your Christmas Day now. See you soon for Sunday lunch!!

"The attention to detail and level of service was beyond expectations. My wife is gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian so menu choices are always limited. Thd chef came to the table and discussed options and made her a special meal which was delicious. I had the ribs which covered the entire plate by itself. The rib bones just pulled clean straight out of the meat. We will be going back!"

"It was getting near to 2.00 p.m. but I was allowed to order a light bite, which arrived quickly. A very tasty panini the salad was a cut above the average, and lots of subtle tastes within what, on paper, would have been very ordinary. Service was friendly and helpful, the atosphere was good. I had avoided this place before as I thought it was called Snails which I found offputtting. Now I am on the right track and I hope to be back. I hadn 't realised the cafe started to pack up from 2.00 pm. the owner assured me I did not need to hurry, but as he said this several times I wondered if it was a very tactful way of asking me to get a move on!"

"We visited today, after previously visiting before, I have to say I was a little disappointed that the menu was majority fish especially with the starters Im not a big fish eater! There was very little option for non fish lovers as a starter except gazpacho soup. Before we even were seated we were kept waiting for 10 minutes to be sat down as a table was making 4 different payments in front of us. When we did eventually sit down the table was incredibly sticky, and despite being asked to be cleaned it needed a deeper clean than that. Food was fairly good, bit disappointed with the chicken burger and the roast the staff were helpful though. You could definitely tell they were short staffed."
