"Yet another wonderful meal at this amazingly under reported restaurant. I would like to keep it secret but it wouldn't be fair! We always take our visitors there as it never disappoints. Don't go to early in your holiday, nothing else will live up to it. Excellent value for the standard."

"This was truly one of the best lunches I've ever had. It was the first day of our vacation and the sun was shining. The staff were cheerful and engaging, and the music was delightfully lively. The mussels were absolutely incredible, and the fries were just fantastic! If I were to find myself on my deathbed, instead of my life flashing before my eyes, I would feel content just remembering this amazing lunch spent with my wonderful family in such a beautiful setting."

"EDIT: THIS VISIT GAVE ME BAD FOOD POISONIN WHICH I AM STILL RECOVERING FROM! Where to begin. Me and my partner has eaten here before and the first time was absolutly amazing. Everything came quick and fresh and couldn 't stop talking about this place. Yesturdays evening was the complete opposite. Service was quite slow, after you order your first drink it takes a while to try flag anyone down to order again, when we did the person said they would bring us a drinks menu then completely forgot about us. We ordered a bunch of starters and that alone took about 30+ mins to come to the table. When it finally arrived, the squid was very tough and stringy. The oysters were good so I will give them that, but it 's hard to mess up something you don 't have to cook! Our third starter was the ham croquettes. These were absolutely stone cold to the point I thought it was meant as a cold dish till my partner told me it wasn 't. I can only assume things were sat at the pass for ages. Another worrying thing that happened was with their newly installed fireplace at the back. There was only one family of 3 sat at the back with us next to this fireplace and at one point it was bellowing out smoke into the back area causing all of us to cough. The smell of smoke was so strong and stayed for a long time, I felt very sorry for the family closest to the fire. The staff did not seem to know how the fire place worked and we 're just hoping it fixed itself. Ok back to the review...We put the starters behind us and decided to look forward to the mains, they all sounded absolutely mouth watering! I went for the pork chop and my partner the Malaysian chicken thighs. Once again, from finishing the starters to getting our mains this took around 40mins or more to come out. Now I do not mind waiting if the kitchen is busy and wants to make everything perfect and fresh, however, there were not that many people in the restaurant at the time and what finally came to us was unacceptable at this price point. BOTH dishes again were very cold! My pork chop was quite underwhelming, I could taste the flavours and it went well with the side salad and apple sauce but I was expecting something a bit more special. The same goes for my partner, she liked the flavours in the chicken thigh dish, but it again was entirely cold. At this point we were so hungry we gave up and kept eating. Before we were asked how things were, the table of 3 next to the fire had called over the staff and were having a long discussion pointing to various plates on their table. In the end we managed to catch some of the conversation which turned out to be the same complaints as ours (food was nice but everything was cold and wished it was hot) when they took their plates away I could see quite a lot was left. When we finally managed to speak to somebody and gave them the exact same feedback we was told that the dish came with side salad so you know, hot and cold together sometimes things get cold I was a bit shocked by this as my chop was nowhere near my salad and neither was my partners chicken. It felt like she was giving excuses for the kitchen staff instead of acknowledging there was an issue or helping to find a solution (something again you wouldn 't expect at the prices they are asking £30-40 a mains) We decided to leave it at that and both of us agreed we would never be returning. It wasn 't until the end of our meal a lovely waitress came to clear things and asked again how we was doing and how our meal was. We explained our issues and she just stood and listened and apologised, she then thanked us for bringing it to her attention. After she came back with the bill she explained that she was not happy we had a bad experience and many items were cold so put on a 25% discount telling us that she remembered us from our first visit and didn 't want this to be our last and hoped we would come back and give them another go. This was the only saving grace of the entire night for us and because of her we are willing to try Kota Kai again, hopefully when staff food are up to standard."

"Great dining experience with friendly staff and a wonderful view. I've eaten here twice this week and highly recommend the fish and chips with homemade tartar sauce and the Cajun chicken burger. Everything was delicious!"

"One evening, my wife, adult daughter, and I decided to visit this restaurant in Porthleven after reading previous reviews. We arrived around 6pm and were surprised to see how busy the pub was for a midweek night in November. It appeared to be a popular spot for locals, with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Although there were initially no available tables, we managed to secure one after about 15 minutes, giving us time to look over the menu. I ordered the short rib beef pie with mash, mushrooms, and carrot, my wife chose the Megrim Sole with sauce and greens, and our daughter opted for the pepper sausages on a bed of mash and lentils. While all the meals were tasty, we were somewhat disappointed. My pie was small and shallow, more like a meat patty than a pie, and the portions were not very generous. Additionally, my wife's Megrim was delicious, but our daughter's sausages were the only hot items on the plate. Despite these shortcomings, we enjoyed the evening, the pub atmosphere, and the overall flavor of the food. However, we were disappointed by the portion sizes and the temperature of some of the dishes.Overall, while we may not return due to these issues, we did appreciate the experience and the taste of the food."
