What a fantastic area to have lunch. Really nice selection of food, great and helpful staff. If you can sit out side ie the weather is good, then your get to enjoy the birds sitting by you waiting for you to finish :)
The view across the bay is very post card scenic which adds to the ambiance

After many recommendations we decided to venture up to Juliet’s garden for something to eat . On arriving the sign said closed but we walked in to at least see the views . Anyway we could see that there were… people inside and a young lad did pop his head out and said they were open . We went inside and the young lady at the bar just said to grab a menu and find a table and Someone should be with us shortly . This was when things went down rapidly. Now we are aware that the majority of establishments were getting ready to close for the season but if your happy to take our hard earned

An absolute gem. 4 stars simply because service was rather slow and people werent served in order of their arrival. This impacted on the time left to explore the island before our ferry left. Nevertheless, a large jug of Pimms was enjoyed in the glorious sunshine with absolutely stunning views across the harbour. All meals ordered were thoroughly enjoyed and were really fresh, tasty and of the highest quality. We would definitely return.

Yes the view here is as glorious as people say, the food excellent too. We actually came several days ago to find it closed due to the 'pingdemic'. Today we returned and after a short wait for a table we were glad we did.
Crab was off, they had been so busy, our Platters included squid instead, which actually preferred. All the food was delicious and plenty of it. The visit was made even more enjoyable by the temporary staff that had been drafted Inn their name badges made things really good fun and 'all hands to deck'. One lad's saud 'don't ask me I am 13', another 'don't ask me ask my mum

Juliets garden has definitely been one of our favorite places on St. Marys island. It offers a beautiful view across the harbour and it is a lovely spot for food and drink throughout the day but is particularly special if you are seeking an evening meal and / or drink at sunset time. Its strategic position, along the coastline path, makes it a perfect spot for a relaxing break during your walk on the island. Even more relaxing if you enjoy nature, the garden like environment provides green surroundings and the local birds (mainly bold and friendly sparrows) really enjoy interacting with you

Arrived 1:30pm when the restaurant wasn’t overly busy, waited for 15 minutes to order, no crab and no any quiche so pretty much half of the items on the menu were not available. Ordered just a cream tea in the end and waited for another 40 minutes…very poor service and the food quality was quite average
