Me and my wife had a sensational flavour fest dinner here last night. Both had mussels, they were plump full of flavour and the broth they came smothered in had great levels of depth also there were plenty of them for a starter. The our main course was the star of the show! We had a fresh king Prawn curry that was honestly the best tasting curry weve ever eaten. Levels of heat and taste all over the place, no rice needed as there was so many different veggies sat alongside Juicy king prawns. We described this dish as Love in a bowl! Chef had taken pride in this! We will back

We were looking for a seafood restaurant in Newquay and this gem was recommended by a taxi driver. From the first moment we were welcomed in, the service was exceptional a lovely calm waiter and a smiley friendly waitress. The food that followed was unbelievably good. Highly recommend the mussels they were huge. The place was buzzing. It rounded off a brilliant day. We will be back.

As a foodie, This was a very disappointing meal. The food did not match the descriptions on the menu. If you are expecting a gourmet meal of higher quality, this is not the place. The food was similar to semi-decent pub grub, just for twice the price. The menu sounds extremely nice, but unfortunately the food doesnt meet the expectations the menu sets. Staff and service was amazing, 5 star service, but the food does not live up to the reputation at all. Way too overpriced for the quality. As a foodie, I would not recommend this place for other than a beer in the sunshine.
