"We stumbled across the copperspoon by chance. We had been at the near by Marazion beach when we took a stroll into the beautiful town. The window displays of freshly made scones, cakes and cookies caught our attention. As it was a blustery day we felt a hot chocolate was what was needed. We were not disappointed. Firstly we were greeted and chatted about our visit to the beach. While our hot chocolates were being being prepared, the staff advised us of a good spot to sit and drink with stunning views over to St Michael's Mount. We took the advice and took our drinks to the Green Landing near by and yes the scenery was breath-taking. The drink was very chocolatey and covered in cream, marshmallows and a flake. Yummy This warmed us up nicely for another walk along the beach back to our car."

"Bruce’s tasting menu was the highlight of our 10 day gastronomic tour of Devon and Cornwall. For someone who claims never to have visited Japan, his kaiseki menu would do even Endo proud. His interpretation of chawanmushi was sublime with a fresh and crunchy shitake and caviar. Superb fish fresh from the quay and the locally grown vegetables were delicious. Even the shiso tasted like shiso tastes in Japan, a remarkable achievement given that shiso in UK is generally bland and disappointing. Three things to bear in mind: 1) try to show up at 6.45pm to get the best tables. Dinner starts promptly at 7pm. 2) don’t expect any meat. 3) Bruce leaves the kitchen between every other course to describe the following two courses. His account of where he sourced the ingredients and how he prepared them is truly fascinating. Finally, a meal at the Shore is not only a true feast for all your senses but also incredibly good value.

"Small menu. Four starters and mains of steaks with your choice of sauce and four fish dishes.My husband and I opted for the scallops and sweet potato soup to start and sirloin steaks. Starters were tasty although not large. The unusual coconut roll served with the soup was delicious but tiny. Ditto the complimentary roll with speciality buttet we each received after placing our order. Our sirloin steaks were good but medium rare, rather than rare as we requested. This was a little disappointing for a restaurant that bils itself as a speciality steak and seafood restaurant. The steaks were served with excellent skin on chips, a half tomato and a caeser side salad. Shame there were no other choices my husband likes neither tomato or caesar salad but there were no alternatives. Service was prompt but rather impersonal it sounded rather as if the servers were reading from a script. The restaurant also lacked atmisphere: It was surprisingly unbusy for a Saturday night yet they wouldn't accept any walk ins.Our two course meal for two with a bottle of wine totalled before tip, which I guess is reasonable for a steak meal. We enjoyed our meal but probably wouldn't rush back, particularly as the menu is so limited."

"What a lovely restaurant. The vibe is quaint calm and professional. The smell as you walk inside screams “This is going to be a fantastic meal” the waitress was very prompt, thoughtful and attentive too even as they were really busy. This is 100% a must go when in or around Mouse Hole. I only wish there would have been an explanation of the dish and it’s ingredients as the food was being presented at the table as the food was just so good it deserved more attention.

"The experience at Tremenheere Kitchen was absolutely fantastic. The service was extremely friendly and attentive, making us wish all service was as great as theirs. The staff, especially the girls working that day, were incredibly nice. The food was beautifully presented, delicious, and fresh. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning. After exploring the magical gardens, we were welcomed with big smiles from the staff. Luckily, the sun was shining so we got to enjoy sitting on the terrace. The food and drinks arrived quickly, and we asked for recommendations from the fish choices, both deciding on the crab linguine. It was absolutely delicious, especially when paired with a glass of French rosé. The staff member who recommended the wine clearly knew their stuff, as it was top-notch. We ordered coffees afterwards, and our waitress made sure to time it perfectly so we could enjoy them after finishing our wine. The attention to detail from our waitress made the experience seamless for us. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend not missing out on this place, even if you're not visiting the gardens. It's a great spot to just pop in. I suggest calling ahead and booking a table as it's popular. If I could, I would give this place 10 stars."
