"Spent a fabulous night here in Room 6 with spectacular panoramic views out to sea. Large room and bathroom. Very clean throughout. Restaurant food and breakfast superb. Staff friendly and helpful. Will definitely return. Only issue was being woken in the early hours of the morning by chairs and tables scrapping on the floor below which we presume was someone cleaning the bar area. Pointed this out in an email to the hotel but no reply or apology received. An expensive room for a disturbed night's sleep."

"This charming, unpretentious bistro by the river is a delightful find. The decor creates a lovely atmosphere. We enjoyed a variety of dishes including smoked salmon, fish and chips, scallops, and scampi linguini, as well as a filet of salmon with crispy skin served on a bed of mussel and pea risotto. Our group of four unanimously agreed that it was the best meal we had during our visit to the UK. The total bill, which included two glasses of wine, was £106. I highly recommend this place!"

"Hubby had gammon, which came with two eggs, pineapple and lovely rustic chips. I had salmon in a gorgeous creamy dill sauce, asparagus new potatoes. We both had stcky toffee pudding with fresh cream for pud. All food was delicious, although hubby's gammon could have been slightly hotter. Staff were pleasant and attentive and prices were reasonable. Would definitely recommend. Service: 5"

"This restaurant served me the best meal of my life. We were at Eaglerock in Applecross for dinner, and I have to say the cauliflower and cheddar soup was the best I've ever tasted! It was incredibly rich and full of flavor. The duck confit practically melted in my mouth, while the sticky toffee pudding was wonderfully soft and sweet. Thank you for an unforgettable meal!"

"Probably the tastiest fish and chips I've ever had. The service was great and the lady taking my order asked if I'd like Hake, rather than Haddock. I love Hake so I'm glad it was offered and shows the benefits of a restaurant in a fishing village as they flex to the catch of the day. A short wait later and my order was called and we sat in the harbour and ate beautifully cooked hake that was grease-free with a sumptuous golden batter and superb chips. Literally couldn't recommend more highly."

"We could not fault the food delicious .. table service was a bit slap dash unfortunately, atmosphere was lovely. We paid our bill which was on the expensive side in the hundreds went up to get our coats .. we stood by reception and were promptly ignored by 3 staff .. one of which was on his phone . Didn’t acknowledge us at all .. we sat asked the cloakroom assistant to order us a cab .. he tried but due to the rain ? no cabs available . We sat trying to order Uber and again ignored by reception . Eventually one of the staff looked up and said sorry no cabs … nothing short of saying out you go we ready to finish . Needless to say we walked in the rain .. laughed about it and will not frequent there again .. such a shame when it’s the front of house they let it down . This is not a cheap eating experience our overall opinion was had your money now off you pop !!"

"6 of us visited here on Sunday evening for my son 's birthday, partly because we 've had a nice meal here before and also because of the 50% off mains offer. The starters were ok but the waitress cleared our plates before my dad had finished eating which we found rude. Then our mains came, again they were ok apart from my steak which was as tough as old boots and definitely not cooked medium. It was that bad that I couldn 't chew or swallow the meat so had to spit it out onto my plate. No one came to ask if everything was ok and when the waitress did come over to ask if we were finished, I told her that I couldn 't eat mine as it was so tough and all she said was I 'll tell the kitchen . No offer of a new piece of steak or a different meal so all I had for my tea was a few fries. I watched her take my plate away to the counter and start cutting it up....as if she didn 't believe it was tough. If it was nice I would of ate it I 'm not going to send it back for no reason , I was hungry!!!! Again she cleared some plates before everyone was finished. We then ordered desserts. After around 20 mins of waiting we were told there would be another 10/15 min delay. For that reason we cancelled them and asked for the bill. The waitress or manageress or whoever she was, brought over the bill and said she 'd taken a small discount off the steak. My husband said no we wanted the steak taken off the bill as I 'd had no tea. Her reply was that it was only half a portion. He told her it was a full portion and as she was tugging the bill out of his hand she said If you say so Unbelievable!!! She reluctantly took my steak off the bill. They also add on a 10% surcharge without any mention which is also based on full price. not the price after the 50% off was taken off. I can categorically say we will never eat here again. I 've never known such poor customer service or rude staff!! There are much nicer places to eat in Westkirby that aren 't rude to their customers!!"

"We were staying in Porthleven, so booked Kota in advance, as we were aware of this interesting restaurant from previous holidays in Porthleven. We had the six-course dinner menu with the wine pairing, for which my food allergy was well catered for as most dishes were the same as my partner’s. The initial three “snacks” were a delight, as the flavours and textures made them delicious. The second course of BBQ leeks and mussels were an amazing combination of flavour and texture. The third course of beet curds, molasses, and chia seeds was a delightful combination, and I say this as someone who doesn’t really like beetroot. It made the beetroot the sweetest I have ever tasted without overpowering its flavour. The fourth course of brown crab sauce with the seabass was delicious. The fifth course of pork belly with accompaniments was superb. For dessert we had “Milk and Honey”, a white chocolate mousse, Porthleven honey, caramelised milk powder, and soda bread ice cream, which was a wonderful blend of flavours and textures. The wine pairings were very well matched to the dishes. I also appreciated the nicely laundered large linen napkins that we had. The restaurant had a nice ambience, with interesting subtle music which we enjoyed. Our waitresses were very friendly and informative, carefully explaining the dishes and the wines to us upon arrival. The service was excellent. We had a very enjoyable experience, and after this first visit will go back again when next in Porthleven."

"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!"

"We stayed at hotel and ate here during our stay. The service was impeccable and the actual restaurant was very nice and cosy. The food was on another level, we were served warm bread and butter first followed by a main, my main consisted of a short rib of beef with aerated mushroom domes and cooked onion. I had a side of mash potato which was extra but well worth it. The beef was melt in your mouth and absolutely delicious. For sweet I had a sticky toffee pudding which was the very best I have ever had, it was wonderfully light with a sweet toffee sauce topped with a spoonful of ice cream. A truly epic pudding. It was fairly pricey but you did get what you paid for. My only gripe was the addition of 10% for service which I think should be a choice not already added to your bill. Though this was my only complaint."

"First visit to restaurant and had high expectations after favourable recommendations from friends. The restaurant was very unique and had a great ambiance and the staff really friendly However the food I our view was at best very ordinary. We had starters and mains My starter was seafood Pancake with creamy cheese sauce which in presentation and taste was at best a supermarket ready meal. and possibly was) It did not have a pancake but in my view was a ready meal scraped out from the original Packaging and blasted in a microwave as it was lava hot had very little fish content and the cheese sauce overpowered any fish. For mains I had a fish risotto which again appeared to be a boil in the bag Tomato risotto with a prawn and some mussels added on top again arrived lava hot from microwave my partner had the seafood paella again in our view another pocketed boil in the bag taste and presentation with a splattering of a few prawns and mussels thrown on top. Really disappointed and certainly did not meet expectations far better local restaurants offering better quality and taste at better prices so Will be a while before we consider returning in a hurry"

"Called in here as the pub looked lovely from the outside and we needed some lunch. The staff were quite slow, stood for around 10 mins (even though the pub was empty) before waiting for someone to come over and seat us down. We ordered a steak pie and soup. The soup wasn't bad, although I was told it was tomato and sweet potato, then overheard another waiter say it was ccarrot and sweet potato. My husband had the steak pie and said it was the worst thing he has ever eaten. It was very watery and the meat wasn't nice. Food was average, I wouldn't eat here again but it was ok for a drink."

"Last night in Oban, my friends and I decided to take a stroll along the waterfront despite the rain. After a while, we couldn't resist the tempting smell of hot chips and decided to grab a quick snack. The staff behind the counter were friendly and shared some information about their business with us. We ended up trying haggis, black pudding, and of course, some chips. Despite the lack of fish, the meal was delicious and the chips were especially good. We noticed a picture of Rick Stein on the wall praising the fish and chips, so we knew we were in for a treat. We happily ate our snacks as we continued along the waterfront, planning to return for dinner later that evening."

"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"

"We can't rate the food here highly enough. All the ingrediants are sourced locally and used to create the most flavioursome gorgeous food that I have had in a very long while. We started with the Smoked Salmon from Brancaster. It was accompained by Crispy Capers and horseradish citrus. We had some cheeky scrumptious artisan bread on the side which was so naughty but nice. For mains I had the Pork Steak, served with spiced pumpkin puree, sauteed mushrooms and apple caramel. OMG words cannot express how delicious this was. My partner went for the Wolverton Lamb served with roasted root veggies, black pudding mash and whisky lamb sauce. All washed down with a bottle of crisp, cold muscade, we finished off with the Cheese board and a heavy red. Oh what a treat!! The team are absolutely amazing. They are actively listening and looking to properly serve the customer and that is rare these days. I can't rate the Saracen's Head highly enough."

"My wife and I had a wonderful meal at the Gardner’s Cottage. It was the first time both of us ever had a set menu and it did not disappoint. Do not go here if you’re a picky eater, but if you want to have a good adventure, you’ll have one. The food was all nearly local as well. Every dish was delicious and a great combination of flavors. The staff was all very friendly and hospitable. Highly recommended. Food: 5"
