"Three dinners at Tresanton all exceptional. The menu is short but offers plenty of choice dishes rotate enough to remain interesting on consecutive nights. Highlights for us were the crab tian, arancini, all the fish (lemon sole, John Dory, the mackerel starter sea bass). And the young master says the duck was great too, so much so that I didn’t get a look in… Excellent wine list too refreshing to see such interesting whites, or so the old master says. He’s a sucker for Italian whites (from the Puglian Fiano to the Vernaccia) but also the Spanish (Albariño Gordello). My samples in the form of regular doggy boxes we’re all tip top, so thank you as ever to Jonathan, Paul and the whole team in this wonderful kitchen."

"Disappointed and will never return. First of all when we go up to the bar to order the waitress and kitchen member arguing infront of customers. We made our order and got told a long wait for food although it was us and one other table eating as the restaurant was empty. Our food came and the waitress got our order wrong we asked for nachos and got chips but Partner didnt want to make a fuss so he ate them. I ordered a steak medium well and got it very well done and inedible. Was waiting for the waitress to come and do a check back to say about my steak but she never came back! I paid £30 for 2 flat Pepsis a bowl of chips and my plate chips and peas. Very unhappy. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1"

"The Reedham Ferry Inn is a lovely 16th century building sat beside the River Yare, in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The approach from the south is via a chain link ferry adding to the atmosphere surrounding the Inn. I met friends there that I hadn't seen for years as they were touring Norfolk, so the Inn was a great spot to meet as it was equi distant for myself and them to travel. It turned out to be a great choice as it's a wonderful spot, service and food were good typical pub fare, but good, nonetheless. I'll definitely be back, and maybe in my campervan for a short break there are some fantastic places to explore."

"Arrived on a wet Saturday afternoon with my wife and dog, all of us very wet and muddy having walked the coast path from the other side of Looe. We asked if they were happy with our bedraggled state and couldn’t have had a warmer welcome from both staff and locals. One of the ladies got us seated by the window were we spent a long afternoon eating beautifully prepared food with great local ales and well priced wine. A very memorable afternoon in a beautiful old pub made extra special by the great staff. Highly recommended and would love to visit again sometime."

"We were in Weymouth! It was the last evening of October 2023! It was raining and blowing a hoolie! That is until we entered ‘Les Enfants Terribles’! We were met by Chef Eric and immediately transported to a sultry romantic evening somewhere in France! It was warm and inviting, with the lighting, the music and the aroma of French cooking! We were shown to our table by Kieran our brilliant waiter for the evening, where we ordered a beautiful bottle of Merlot. My partner chose the seafood soup from the 3 course set menu starters and I opted for the grilled squid on a bed of chickpeas! Both starters were cooked to perfection and delicious. Another glass of Merlot and on to the main courses! My partner choosing the Portland crab with tomato salad and fries which she adored! My choice was Chef Eric’s signature dish of whole Seabass fillets with leeks, carrots Fennel and white wine, cooked and served in foil, which was the finest fish dish I have ever eaten! Desserts were chocolate cheesecake and a calvados based liqueur coffee to finish off a fantastic experience, with the stars of the show being the Seabass and Grilled squid! Chef Eric was on hand to answer our questions regarding his food and showed genuine interest in us! Kieran, our waiter, being so attentive and professional made our dining experience a joy! Thank you again Chef Eric and his team!"

"I generally like Wildwood a lot and often come here with family and friends. The staff are always really nice and attentive and the general atmosphere is great. Food this time wasn’t the usual standard. The new Calabrese pizza wasn’t nice, too many different things going on and the ham was very fatty, base was burnt. The risotto was ok, not special this time, kids meals and dessert was very good as usual. I just think it was a bad day in the kitchen but I’m hoping it’ll get back to the usual 5 star standard soon."

"Friday 25th August 2023, My husband and I we saw a sign for a 17th Century Seafood Inn at Cadgwith Cove, and so we decided to explore this further. A steep narrow lane winds down to a small cove, divided by a small rocky promontory. Thatched stone cottages cluster round the beach. It is a working fishing port and local fishermen catch mainly crab and lobsters out in the bay and these are sold at the fish market on the quay. We parked the car in the car park at the top of the hill and took the path down to Cadgwith Cove. The path wound through a wild flower meadow and then down through the thatched cottages, even through gardens on the way to the cove, a very idyllic place with pastel coloured cottages and lovely cottage gardens. A flight of steps brings you out opposite the harbour quay, with its brightly coloured fishing boats and buoys, nets, chains and winches used in the catching of lobsters and crabs. Cadgwith Cove Inn was a lovely thatched inn, with a lovely outside courtyard, where you could sit and eat in the sunshine; they also have a nice indoor restaurant. My husband and I had a nice table for two inside. The restaurant is oak beamed and has pictures of seafarers and boats and plaques about boats which have been lost to sea in the cove. We perused the small but interesting menu; it had lots of lovely fish dishes on it and we ordered our food. We both had starters; my husband had scallops and I had crab pate served with brown bread and butter. The starters were delicious and were just the perfect size to get the palate started. My husband for his main course had the prawn, hake and monkfish curry served with rice, which he said was delicious. I had lobster thermadore served with a nice crispy salad and buttered new potatoes. The lobster was to live for and I had lots of fun excavating the meat, so all that was left was a pile of sculpture like shells. The meal was delicious. We washed all this lovely food down with a nice chilled bottle of Chardonnay white wine. We both had a dessert; my husband and I both had the dark chocolate and almond torte, which was sex on a plate and seductively delicious but lovely and light and was perfect finish to our meal. We did not bother with any teas or coffees afterwards as we were both well fed and very content. After our meal we went outside to listen to the locals singing ‘Sea Shanties’, there were lots of people there and it was nice to be part of this wonderful celebration."

"Bang in Wells Next the Sea is a dog-friendly bistro offering a splendid selection of seafood. The menu blends traditional English dishes with several European and Asian alternatives, such as paella and curry, and includes a daily catch of fish. The beverage options were excellent, especially the wine and the guest ale. The service was friendly, and the food was promptly prepared and served. However, we felt somewhat neglected as the restaurant was preparing for a busy Thursday evening during our visit from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm. Consequently, the dessert options were limited to ice cream, as the kitchen was gearing up for the evening rush. The staff missed opportunities to offer hot drinks at the end of the meal. The burger was quite enjoyable, albeit slightly overcooked and dry. This tendency to prepare beef well done by default seems common in the area. The fish and chips were also tasty, but don't expect the portion size of a typical fish and chip shop. The side salads were flavorful and fresh. Our 8-year-old son thoroughly enjoyed his seafood platter, with his only comment being that it was a bit salty. Nonetheless, this didn't prevent him from finishing the entire plate. In conclusion, we had a pleasant meal, but it didn't leave us thoroughly impressed, and we departed with a slight sense of disappointment."

"After a day at the races this is the perfect restaurant to either celebrate your winnings or commiserate over your losses. The restaurant caters for a variety of diets, vegetarian and gluten free in our party and both were well looked after with a thorough knowledge of the dishes coming out of the kitchen. The food was excellent as was the service. It’s a little off the beaten track but well worth making the journey."

"Oh, what a delightful evening of fine dining and impeccable service! We were aware of the 2-hour table turnaround, a rule as sacred as ancient rituals but, alas, not consistently followed by mere mortals, I mean, restaurants. The food, an ephemeral delight that momentarily distracted us from impending eviction, particularly the oysters, which deserve an encore. After our grand feast, a proclamation was made in the most gracious manner: Out you go! No alternative seating offered, not even a spot at the bar to revel in our impending exile. It was a friend 's birthday, and what better way to celebrate than being unceremoniously kicked out before the dessert and the joyous serenade of Happy Birthday ? Seeking solace, I summoned the manager, who, in an act of managerial prowess, dispatched minions to chant the sacred mantra of the 2-hour table rule. In my quest for compensation, I was met with robotic responses and a generous offer to waive the discretionary service charge – a gesture as heartfelt as a rock. Not once were we graced with a reminder of the sacred 2-hour rule, nor did the waitstaff perform with the urgency befitting a Michelin-starred sprinter. The pièce de résistance? The epic saga to settle the bill, a riveting 25-minute ordeal where we could 've devoured a dessert, sang the birthday anthem, and maybe even choreograph a dance routine. Shocking service indeed, a performance deserving of a standing ovation – or maybe just a swift exit and a vow to never return."

"Absolutely delightful dining experience! We chose this restaurant based on its reviews, and it certainly lived up to its high ratings. The food was fresh, beautiful, and delicious—perfect for my young children. The children's menu was fantastic, and the portion sizes were just right. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick!"

"Wow!! What can I say !!! The last time I came here was 2016 with my son and the restaurant consisted of a couple of tables and no toilet !!! We had no preconceptions and came with my in laws who live on the island!!! After a bit of a Rocky start with service the food was delivered!! To say that the quality and quantity was out of this world was an understatement!!! We all ordered the sea food platter !!! The variety of beautiful fish was outstanding and so was the freshness and quality!!! The waitress who’s Birthday it was dressed in a beautiful pink dress who's shift started while we were in the middle of our meal was the best !!! Make sure you keep her she turned the service to an outstanding immediately!!! This restaurant is an absolute must if you visit the island !!! If you compare the quality and freshness along with the price it beats the Hut in Colwell Bay in every category hands down !!!We will talk about our experience for many months and can’t wait until we are back next year to experience it again !!! Sea food Heaven !!Thanks for the best night out we have had all year"

"Visited the pub on the island for an early afternoon pint and maybe some food. Being the first pub we encountered on the island and advertised 3 beers on entering and approaching the bar the landlord just stood staring at us and said nothing. My husband asked what beers he was serving and was told only one beer available as he had been that busy. When we asked about food told no more orders. All tables had reserved signs so we asked if we could sit down and have a quick beer and he said no the pub was virtually empty buy we was advised it would be rammed in 10 minutes but, pointed in the direction of the beer garden. We found the landlord arrogant rude. At first we thought we had maybe looked at him in the wrong way but, then he spoke to the next customers in the same way. We had our drinks in the run down grassed area outside and left. Had two wonderful nights on the island and had all our drinks in the Crown Anchor delicious food, fabulous service, staff friendly and knowledgeable and couldn't do enough for you. We did not let the Shi? Experience ruin our time on the island, although we would suggest a possible rename of the Ship Inn to the Shi?? Inn you decide for yourself."

"We popped in for a quick bite as we were in the area, and were pleasantly surprised! The decor was lovely, though we had to sit in the courtyard as we had our dog. Pizza was good, came out quick and the server was nice! I’d like to come back to experience the inside of the restaurant. And would suggest maybe adding a dog friendly inside area? Like the lounge/bar area by the door perhaps? These days more people gave dogs and the winter is coming, so people will be less keen to sit outside."

"Disappointing if I’m honest. We booked as a family because we really fancied some fresh seafood. When we called we specified that there were six adults, five children and a baby in a high chair. At no point during that call did anyone say that there is no children’s menu available which made for an even more expensive trip. The food was very expensive, we ended up getting the children to share three fish and chips between them and the fish inside the batter was lovely but the chips were drenched in oil. Three of us shared one of the platters and whilst it was lovely and very well presented, we all walked away hungry as there isn’t really much fish on there for you to eat. The waitress was lovely but we had to keep prompting for things we’d asked for that had been forgotten despite the restaurant being empty."

"The rooms here are really stunning, feel very luxurious and are surprisingly quiet. Super cosy fireplace downstairs in the pub where you can have breakfast dinner. The location makes it feel really special too, right on the town square. All the amenities you could need on your doorstep. In February it seems a lot of places are closed in the week so the pub downstairs is probably the best option for dinner unless you have a car Walkability: 2 minute walk from the ferry terminal, 2 min walk from the bus stop that can take you to Newport or alum bay. Lovely walking route along the river to Freshwater which starts across the road from the bus stop Food and drinks: Good selection of pub food for dinner Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Luxury, Great view, Quiet, Great value"

"Lovely place to enjoy all types of food and beverages anytime of the day. Has a great location which isn’t in the busy side and great views. The food was a really good balance and taste fresh like they just plucked it out from their local supply (the English Channel). Convenient, friendly and would recommend. Been then several times during our visit."

"simple and brilliant. a delicious dressed salad with french brot, then two portions of perfectly cooked steak in a secret sauce and crispy pommes. I love the house wines, white and red both go nice with the meal. huge selection of delicious desserts. we tend to go to lunch 12 o'clock by leaving a line formed from the door. the personal is attentive and professional, no matter how busy it is, why we always go back despite price increases, it is worth every penny."
