"WOW!!!! what a find!!! Went to Hunstanton for a day trip and needed food was special occasion so all had the lobster thermidor.... just WOW!!! In a coastal town of fish and chips and traditional sea side stuff this Bostro excells!! But to start .. the place is nice can take coffee outside on good weather day seating inside not cramped but well spaced. Well laid out and very friendly welcome. Menu is excellent really could have chosen any one from 5 or 6 .. even the light bites menu is really exhaustive and very good looking food. Prices starters 5 10 each... mains most are 15 25 and then full lobster is 40 (which is actually good especially for this quality) Each course well presented and every mouthful a joy. Highlights ... Pork Belly Starter absolutely superb. Lobster sauce was perfect meat was plentiful (unlike some places) and salad and fries on the side everything was just enough and I cant tell you how good... Well I can actually... we live nearly 2 hours from Hunny and would consider going there JUST FOR LUNCH! We 'll be back and Id encourage anyone to give it a try!"

The staff was very welcoming. We ordered coffee and toasted tea cakes since it was late in the day. However, we will definitely be returning to try their dinner menu. The restaurant was very clean and the food looked delicious.

What a great restaurant. Staff really knowledgable and they gave great service. Had 2 different fish pasta dishes and they were absolutely delicious. Tasty, great flavours, hot and good portion size. Garlic bread and salad to accompany were lovely. Wish this restaurant every success.

This is a classy bistro where we had delicious feta-based ciapaninis for a late lunch. (We weren't aware of this light very fresh-tasting bread, being a cross between ciabatta and panini). The quality of our food was excellent and the service very good indeed. We would like to live nearer so we could visit for dinner! View menu

We visited the restaurant without a reservation and were greeted warmly by the servers. We were seated promptly and enjoyed observing the two chefs working calmly in the kitchen. The starters and main courses were delicious, and we left feeling very satisfied. It was definitely the best meal we had during our week in the area.

An interesting, varied menu, should be something there to suit most tastes, and the food and service we thought excellent. Chives is quite small and at first the tables looked rather close togther, but in practice this was not an issue. The ambience is very good, and the place was bustling with everyone obviously enjoying themselves. Prices, in our view, very reasonable for a restaurant of this high standard. Would recommend booking, to avoid disappointment as the saying goes.

The food at this restaurant was excellent. However, we called to make a reservation on Saturday for the following day and were only able to secure a table for 6:45, despite requesting 7:30. The restaurant was nearly empty by 7:30 and still empty when we left at 8:30. We suspect the staff planned to close at 9pm, which is why they couldn't offer a later reservation. Additionally, our coffee arrived before our dessert, and when we mentioned this, we felt awkward. Despite these issues, the food and atmosphere were great and we would consider returning in the future. View menu

Visited today at lunchtime to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Probably not eaten here since before the pandemic. Had reserved a table which we were given a choice of as the restaurant wasn’t busy, which meant that the two of us sat at a table that could have accommodated 4. Food, Carbonara and Duck Pasta was good, with side O’Donoghue Cheese Garlic Bread. Unfortunately there were a couple of young, and one not so young men at the bar discussing betting on the horses. They were joined by a few young Neanderthal youths whose voices got louder the more they drank. More like a pub than a restaurant. Would go back, but not during a weekend lunchtime when hopefully these young men might be at work.

Booked a table for 6pm. Arrived on time. Ordered drinks dinner. Received drinks immediately Ordered meals At approx 7:15pm became anxious stressed as other couples who arrived much later had received and eaten their meals !! Went to the counter to enquire why “the delay” only to be totally abused by an odious employee who informed me that “he did not want us there wanted us to leave etc” We did leave immediately We are locals who have always celebrated our birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Fathers Day etc at Chives (previously our favourite restaurant) Our Son had booked a table for 8 for a family meal and after several requests to resolve this situation which were subsequently compl...

"We had pre-booked a table for 6 people to have lunch at 2:15pm. We arrived on time and were shown to the table, which had only been set for 4 people which meant we had to pull a further 2 chairs up to the table, and had to request a wine list. We ordered a round of drinks for the table which took c. 15 minutes to arrive. We were waiting a considerable amount of time for a food menu. Eventually we called a waiter over to order some food and were told that the kitchen we no longer serving, despite having booked a table for lunch and not being warned of the kitchen closing time. The staff told us to be quick in ordering however took a further 10 minutes to come and take the order. The food eventually came and the waitress didn 't even put the food at the correct place, she merely put them on the table for us to distribute accordingly. When the bill eventually came, we politely requested the *optional service charge was removed from the bill as we did not feel that we had received adequate service to warrant a tip, to which the manager began shouting that it as shocking that we wanted to rightfully remove the tip. He went on to say that the kitchen staff had stayed over time to prepare our food. My question to the owner is this... if your chefs are unwilling to work over their hours, why are you offering a reservation close to closing time whilst your staff are incapable of processing the orders to the kitchens in the correct timescale and working hours. If we were told that the kitchen were closing soon, we would have cooperated with the staff to help them work to their time scales."
