"Pizzas were the best we have ever had and wine was good. Restaurant is small and looks more like a café. Seems busy on takeaways. Lighting too bright a few candles would have made all the difference to the ambience. Tables were slow to be cleared when people had left and looked more like truck café tables than restaurant. Cannot fault the food."

"Have been a few times with mixed results so decided to give it another go, as we are local. Wish we hadn't bothered. No atmosphere, two members of staff standing behind bar chatting, got drink on my top from the dirty bar, table top was sticky to touch. Ordered second drink as had to wait for 50min for food to come. Ordered Heritage Burger Chicken skewer... what came was greasy chips, you could taste the old oil off them. Rocket salad was dried up with a few tiny bits of tomato. Chicken was about 5/6 tiny bits of burnt chicken, and the burger looked more like a hamburger than a fresh handmade beef burger, in a co-op style bun, with horrible flash in the pan bacon. When partner complained the young waiter took it away then came back 5min later and asked if he wanted it re-cooked or something els from the menu!!! After 50min for this declined, he never offered a refund. We then sat there for another 5min and when I wasn't given any cutlery with my meal, decided it wasn't worth waiting for. Shocking to see such poor service and food in our local area, Management really need to take a good look at their chef."

"Absolutely phenomenal seafood chowder. Would come back just for that! If you're coming in from out of town be aware the road down to it is narrow and not a thru-way. Best to park further up the road and walk down if possible. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Seafood Chowder"

"I had a fantastic meal here last month. I ordered the mushroom dish while my husband had the fish plate. Both dishes were excellently prepared, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I also ordered a cocktail, which was expertly made. Although the restaurant was fully booked, it didn't affect the service at all. The staff were polite and friendly, and we didn't have to wait long for our drinks or our food. I would definitely recommend making a reservation on the weekend."

"I'd actually booked this restaurant for dinner thinking it was another I'd been to previously. How delighted was I that it was even better, especially as we had friends with us! I'd booked 2 tables and they'd kindly seated them next to eachother. The selection...of drinks was extensive the kids had the most incredible milkshakes whilst the grown-ups had cocktails. The food menu had so much choice it's definitely the place to go if you like burgers. I had the Avocado Cuddle' with sweet potato fries on a gluten free bun. Most gf buns are not worth writing home about, but this one was delicious. The portion size was generous, but there was definitely nothing left on our plates when we'd finished! All of us were blown away with the quality of the food and the service. We will definitely be returning next time we are in Cowes. Or perhaps we may even make a special trip over to the island just to come here!"

"We were staying at the Royal Crescent hotel and a short walk from there we stumbled upon this very small restaurant. A short look at Tripadvisor convinced us to book for the evening meal. So glad we did and that a table was available. As...others have said this is a very compact restaurant and as such the atmosphere is best described as lively. The waiter (suspect he may be the owner) was excellent and as we had a view of the open kitchen from our table we can confirm that the two chefs worked incredibly hard. The food was excellent and there is no better compliment than to say if we are ever back in the area we would go there again."
