"we have eaten here before and the food was pleasant enough and last night we were here with 2 friends, we ordered, whistle, and tempoura garnel, followed by makrele with a “bbq” sauce, dover sole and mönchsfisch with a “seedy” sauce. where should I start? it was quite wrong with some of the courts. the garnels were nice, the muscheln were ok, but the sauce was not great, but that was ok. When it came to the net, our chips were forgotten and therefore came a bit late - even that would have been in order, but the makrele dish was not good, the “bbq” sauce tasted strongly from orange! our friend likes zitrus really and since this was not mentioned on the menu the makrele was also very dry. I had the mönchsfisch satay and expected a spicy erdnus sauce, instead the fish was covered with lime leaf, which I strongly dissimilar - not mentioned on the menu again and the satay sauce was insipid. the Dover sole was very good. we were asked if we enjoyed the meal and so polite feedback was offered that these aromen were mentioned on the menu, as they were the dominant aromen of the feeds. the owner continued to argue with us - she was exceptionally rude and told me I obviously don't like strong aromes! she also asked me to ask if I ate the court! she continued to argue very rude and told us that it was obviously not for us (the restaurant). that's true! we have eaten in many restaurants of all standards and have never been treated like this! our evening was completely ruined - not because of the food, but because of the rudeness of the owner. we paid the bill and left. our friends have eaten a lot in the past, but unnecessary to say, none of us will go again."

"Wendy Youngs and I were first time visitors last night dining with 2 friends. Super ambiance, excellent food and very good wine. The scallops and black pudding were very tasty whilst the ribeye steak was one of the very best steaks I have eaten. What is more I asked for it rare and was persuaded by the waitress to have it medium rare due to the fat on it. She was right! Loved the Malbec too. We will return."

"I wasn't sure if I booked the wheelhouse or not. I can only say that I am glad that I did it on Saturday evening as a party of 3 and the restaurant was completely booked and the people on the door locked away. eating was tasty and healthy and the atmosphere was friendly (so friendly that those who were turned away were suggestions of alternating, competing, venues to visit). had a common starter, and then main courses and desserts. came very satisfied away and will definitely look back when in the city."

"We ordered four steaks, none of which were prepared correctly. All but one were overcooked on the outside, with only one being well done and tasting burnt. Service was extremely slow, taking 2.5 hours for two courses. We had to ask for everything multiple times, and the waitstaff did not seem to understand our requests. The total bill for six people came to nearly GBP400. Even after deducting the cost of dessert, as promised because of the poor quality of the main courses, it still amounted to GBP331. I will not be returning to this restaurant. My daughter reminded me that we had issues the previous year as well, when main courses were served separately from the sides and we received complimentary desserts, which were likely used to make up for poor service. At GBP35 per steak, this is a significant amount of money to pay for subpar service, poorly cooked food, and an overall regretful dining experience."

"My husband and I yet again had another fantastic meal here, my husband had the brisket and I had the nachos and both were absolutely delicious! The drinks menu always has a fantastic selection to choose from and the service was very attentive with happy and warm smiley faces. This restaurant is most definitely up there as one of my favourites places of all time to eat and relax over a quality drink."

"we visited last night after a fast Google search and this big little place caught our eye, no nonsense home cooked eating in fast for 8 pm booked. my young had bolognese, as he was very used to authentic pasta home, he got him the thumbs up, and the garlic bread was also on site. my misses had the crab, which was also top notch, as my delicious gammon streak. the owners are wonderful, friendly welcoming and leading a great place, we loved it! the young waitress was also a shady and was perfectly well maintained and professional. both I and my misses work in 5 stars hospitality and we see a beautiful family restaurant and we will be back in spite of him visiting our next island. can not recommend enough.get in booked."

"The place is cute, the menu interesting, the cocktails creative. It’s exactly the sort of place you think you’re going to love. Unfortunately it all falls apart in execution. Feels brilliantly designed and under-managed. The poached eggs in the huevos rancheros were wildly over cooked and the rest of the dish under-seasoned. The tortillas in the chilaquiles, which, classically, should be both the textural and flavor foundation of the dish, gently softened by the sauce but still toothy,were straight from the bag, barely covered in sauce, forming a distractingly crunchy and dry mass beneath what might have been an interesting cover. In both cases, you sort of got what the executive chef had in mind, but equally clear that the line is undertrained. Last, the service, while fine, also shows signs of under-management. Stations left uncleared long after guests had departed, no attempt to upsell a second drink, etc. The one major positive was the cocktail, a grapefruit and tequila combination that was both interesting in conception and well balanced. I might have had two of anyone had asked."

"my second visit today. the first time when I sat for 15 minutes without service and had all looked at me immediately. Second visit because a friend oysters wanted. absolutely extraordinary eating. seafood delicious. all the compliments 100 belong to the kitchen staff and cook. service very bad in front of home staff, again. with their return to the customers and chat together until we cried for attention. the service lets this place safely down."

"beautiful decoration with very helpful and friendly staff! serve and wait the employee are inviting, editorial and try to answer questions they have via menu points or furnishings. I liked the description of her wall painting, inspired by a place in Colombia, and that it took 3 weeks to paint. beautiful recommendation about their beer selection, quilmes is an Argentineian camp that is easy, crisp and a little sharp. I had recommended as my starter (what means to wrap myself, I had happy to ask about this dish and enjoy the two choices, served with salat this camp compliment the aromen very good and the baked was as fluffy as filo. if they feel adventurous, it was worth trying: their portions are generous, in advance I recommend asking about you caught beer is peroni and comes in half pint or pint. her selection on the side comes in very beautiful medium-sized dishes. Twist rings are tasty and their thin frits are not as fryed, but are also tasty accompanied with chimichurri sauce! our group had a selection of meat dishes (ribeye, filet steaks and lamb frame and was cooked to perfection. I tried a bit the lamb had offered a family member, and it was tender, juicy and well spiced. overall, a great facility with comfortable seating furniture made of soft leather and music volume was well balanced, which was added to the ambiente. amazing personal. if this helps: the float coffee is an irish coffee without whisky. chimichurri was declared a combination of garlic, petersilie, olive oil and chili. green beans are with sun-dried tomatoes. green spinach is fresh. toilets are on the back to the left. many thanks to el toro. happy christmas and new year!"

"Well what can I say, what a fantastic meal we’ve had tonight at The Mex in Saint Ives. I can honestly say this is the best Mexican I’ve ever had and quite possibly the best meal I’ve had in Saint Ives! The food was absolutely beautiful and very flavoursome. Me and my party shared the nachos to start and we all agreed that they were the best nachos ever. They were covered in cheese and chilli and were so tasty! For mains we had burritos and fajitas and again they may have been the best we ever had! The service was top standard from the 2 ladies who served us, they very welcoming, attentive, friendly and professional. Infact we enjoyed our meal so much we’ve booked again for tomorrow night! If you’re reading reviews to see if you should visit or not, then take it from to get yourselves down there!"

"my wife and I visited the day after the Valentine's Day on Friday night. the cabaret show with a steak dinner booked the show was fantastic. all the facts were great and entertaining. only really seen cabaret on vacation and that felt like a step up from what I was used to. my wife was not in the cabaret before and she enjoyed it. the host was also really funny eating was great. I wanted to do my steak well. I would say it was good somewhere between medium and medium. if you complain that you have a problem with me. Just make sure it's for the business as some people can really be cumbersome. it was fantastic to mention that the drinks were great along with the entire service. emma, one of the waiters gave mainly great service and seemed very pleasant to visit again at a point. I couldn't fail."

"The entertainment was great and enjoyable. The host was hilarious. Unfortunately, the downfall was the service. Table of 12 for a Christmas night out. We had pre ordered our meals, with dietary requirements passed along via email. Starters came out, had to ask the server twice if it was gluten free and he still tried giving me a meal with bread on it. Eventually, got it correct and that server later apologised. At this point, I flagged a different server down and said that my next two courses (turkey and cheese were also gluten free). Mains came out. Another diner and I were waiting for our meals. Flagged a server down and told her we were waiting for a salmon and a gluten free turkey. Received our meals after the majority of the group had finished their course. Dessert came out... Minus two (me again). None of the servers checked that everyone on the table had plates in front of them, during any of the courses. Straight up asked for the manager, explained that we were still waiting for a cheese and crackers and a gf cheese. She comes back over ten minutes later with a printout (5 puddings, 7 cheeses) saying her staff had counted 7 cheeses had been brought out. Obviously not since two of us were sitting there without a meal in front of us. Saw that two of the blond waitresses standing by the sound booth had also clocked this. Manager also tried to argue about not knowing about dietary requirements. Double checked with our group organiser who was adamant all dietaries had been passed along via email. Manager comes back another 10 minutes later, saying there had been a miscommunication with the kitchen and no cheese boards left, options were pudding or ice cream. Finally got that half and hour after everyone else had their desserts and all the plates had been cleared. Absolutely appalling service from the manager. She took one bottle of wine off and we withdrew the service charge."

"Really good food at a reasonable price. One of not many actual restaurants in Woolacombe rather than pub that does food . Being able to book also makes it a rarity in town which is really good. Service was good but not great this is only reason for not giving 5 stars. Another tip the specials board was quite big when we were there, nearly doubling the menu choices! Don 't be too put off of if menu looks a bit small. Perhaps the restaurant should put a few example specials boards on their website to help advertise this?"

"Lively little pub, serving food and drink, where you'll be lucky to get a table or a parking space most of summer. Nice location right by the sea so great place to watch the world go by. Had a nice lunch here with friends and it was all around £25. Ordered drinks and sandwiches, which had generous fillings and came with fries and salad. My friends ham was a bit too thickly sliced for my liking, but they loved it and my grated cheese and pickle was just right for me. Will definitely visit again."

"There was one vegan main course clearly marked on the menu and 5 tapas options, which we sampled all of between us, and each one was absolutely delicious. The tofu on a bed of satay flavoured noodles was amazing, as was the smoked sweet potato dish (two of these together would be generous enough to make up one main meal, but we were hungry so we had 7 between the two of us. Every dish was beautifully presented and imaginatively put together with a delicate balance of flavours, textures and colour. There were a couple of vegan desserts available (including chocolate sorbet but we both opted for the blueberry and pistachio cheesecake... It was honestly the best vegan pudding I've ever had! We ate at an inside table which looked out over the pretty Porthmeor Bay (I think every table, inside or out, has a great sea view. Covid safety measures were carefully put in place to ensure everybody's safety (only one group at each large table and clear entrances and exits. The staff and the chefs were extremely attentive, the music was chilled and the atmosphere very relaxing. For the money, this restaurant punches far above its weight. The app won' t let me give 5 stars but this is most definitely a 5 star eating experience! Reservations were hard to get at the very peak of the season but they do eventually become available- well worth persevering with the online booking system and checking every few minutes until one comes up."

"Really impressed! Lovely outdoor seating area. Good choice of food and specials. I had the halloumi chips to start and in my view if you don 't choose these you 'll have food envy of anyone who does! The rest of the table shared a mezze platter which was very good and easily enough for 3. Mains were 2x steaks (very good), chicken supreme and the flame grilled smoked bacon loin like the poshest 'ham, egg 'n chips you 've ever had '... so, so good but so filling I couldn 't possibly manage a dessert... which was a shame as I 'm assured the pavlova and brownie were delicious! Topped off by excellent service banter from Joe our waiter. Great food, lovely setting and reasonable prices... would definitely come back next time we 're in the area!"

"I love the Peat Spade and come often, however this time I was disappointed. As always, the service was great and very friendly. I ordered a rare steak and got a medium to overdone one. I sent it back and the next one was raw. I rather felt the chef was sending me a message probably not but that was how I felt. I did not send this one back but wish I had. Sorry, I won't give up but I did not leave happy. Nick M"

I ordered my steak cooked well, and it came out somewhere between medium and medium rare, but it was still good. If you have a complaint, make sure to address it with the staff as some people can be difficult to deal with. The drinks were also fantastic, and the service was great overall. Our waitress, Emma, provided excellent service and I would definitely visit again in the future. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I couldn't have asked for more."

"First stop: Zaika Kensington: Perched at the most south western edge of Hyde Park, comes this regal Indian restaurant. The Arabs have always been fond of Indian spices, adding many to their own cuisine. You will not be disappointed at Zaika. Expect a grand Indian dining experience. If you plan on munching a bunch of samosas to start with, then please go elsewhere. Here you are meant to appreciate the intricacies of the dishes and the subtle bursting of flavours. I started off with the vegeterian trio. Never seen a samosa platter that beautiful. Went great with the papadum trio sauces that had just that right spicy kick with the tangy feel. The seekh kabab was ok, just too dry for my Arab...read more"

"Having initially planned lunch at Muddy Beach, we didn 't bother staying due to a reduced size menu at eye watering prices for an impromptu stop. This led us to grabbing something quick to take back to the office instead, Nemos certainly did not disappoint. Large fish chips with a side for under £8. The fish was a large skinless, well cooked fillet on top of a generous portion of chips with the side. This is far better than the 'Harbour Lights ' where we usually go to in Falmouth and in future I shall drive to Nemos in Penryn to buy our fish suppers instead. The shop is a clean hygienic environment with covid measures in place. The staff are lovely, especially the girl serving and they have a great menu with offers. Well done Nemos, I don 't give 5 out of 5 easily you have earnt it a new customer!"
