"The atmosphere was lovely. Very relaxed with friendly attentive staff. Then the food came, good on the eye but underwhelming on the palate. I’ve both had the fish soup starter, rich in fish but devoid of flavour until we cracked salt and pepper until it, then it became a slightly acquired taste but pleasant enough. Main courses were smoked duck and rib-eye steak. The duck was tough and again devoid of flavour for done reason, best part of the plate were the carrots The steak was cooked as requested but the fries were hard. Some mustard helped with overall flavour. Dessert was crème brûlée and an orange/chocolate torte. Easily the best course of the evening, flavoursome, well presented if very sour fruit on crème brûlée. No wine was taken with the meal, but excellent water was served."

The Red Duster situated in Cowes offers a great food, good portions and a cosy atmosphere. The place was very quiet, understated but well worth a visit . Prices very good ..

The service and quality of food was outstanding. It was nice to have a starter and main course that tasted as expected from reading the menu. Kay was excellent in looking after us and is an admirable ambassador for the restaurant. Very, very well done.

Saw a menu for this restaurant in holiday home and thought it sounded good. Came across it when we were in Cowes looking for somewhere to eat and decided to try it. It lived up to expectations. We only had a main course and it was very tasty with good service and atmosphere.

First visit here for this summer season and what a great visit it was. The menu is superb. Really tasty, robust food. Or starters were the chowder, liver and bacon and the smoked salmon profiteroles. Mains were the Gaelic cod, Thai monkfish and the duck. Generous portions, tasty food. Good bottle of wine. Super service a very friendly team. £50/head. Great value.

We were instantly drawn to the frontage of this restaurant and the menu looked delicious. Once inside the waiter looked after us and nothing was too much trouble. We choose the Boursin chicken and the Gaelic cod. Both dishes did not disapoint and it was one of the best meals we have had. Yes you do have a little wait for food, but it does say on the menu meals are cooked to order and the wait is worth it and to be honest it wasn't really a wait, you are looked after and it is a place where you can relax and enjoy the food. The restaurant is small and intimate. Which is perfect to enjoy your meal. We will definitely visit again.
