"I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Harbour Front Bistro and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the haddock and chips. The fish was incredibly fresh, flaky, and cooked to perfection, while the chips were crispy and delicious. It was a classic dish that truly hit the spot. In addition to the haddock and chips, we decided to explore their tapas offerings. The ribs were a true standout, with tender meat that practically melted in our mouths. The salt and pepper squid was a delightful surprise, with a perfectly crispy exterior and a tender, flavorful center. And the salmon fish cakes were a delectable treat, bursting with flavor and complemented by a crispy outer layer. But what truly set the Harbour Front Bistro apart was its stunning sea view and ambiance. The restaurant is situated right on the waterfront, allowing us to enjoy our meal while taking in breathtaking views of the sea. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. Not only was the food exceptional and the setting breathtaking, but the service at the Harbour Front Bistro was also top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Overall, my visit to the Harbour Front Bistro exceeded all expectations. The haddock and chips were divine, and the tapas selection, including the ribs, salt and pepper squid, and salmon fish cakes, were all absolutely delicious. The sea view and ambiance added an extra touch of magic to the experience. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers incredible seafood, a wonderful tapas menu, and an amazing sea view, the Harbour Front Bistro is a must-visit. I can't recommend it enough."

"We visited here the day before and booked a table for the following evening as it’s a small venue. We had to come in quite late because it’s small, busy and gets booked up. We understand all of these things, but on the night in question we were greeted by more than one individual who seemed very stressed and spoke to us initially as if we didn’t have a table booked and couldn’t help us. This wasn’t a great first impression. Eventually we were seated at a table and given menus. We knew what we wanted to order quickly, but had to wait quite a while before anyone came over to take a drinks order. So when they did we ordered food at the same time. We waited quite some time for drinks and even longer for food. Although tables were finishing off there seemed to be a lot of tables still waiting for food. It felt a bit frantic and as if the kitchen was struggling to cope. When we received our mains they were nicely presented. The main issue was that one of the portions of chips was cold and the other was only lukewarm. The fish was okay in terms of temperature and was as expected in terms of flavour, apart from the lobster which was impossible to crack through using the basic tools provided, so it had to be returned to the kitchen for assistance which meant other food was cooling. It was a chilly evening, but the doors were open and the food cooled quicker still. The wine selection was good and the wine selected went well with the food. The desserts on offer looked amazing and we sampled them and can confirm that they were very good. The disappointment here comes from being provided with cold sides, inadequate equipment to get in to the lobster, chewy lobster meat and other fish cooling rapidly because the ambient temperature was falling rapidly and windows/doors remained open."
