Swallowtails in Burnham-on-Crouch offers a picturesque setting overlooking the marina, yet the dining experience has proven inconsistent. While some patrons enjoyed delightful meals and attentive service under new management, others faced long wait times for mediocre dishes that missed the mark entirely. Reports of unappetizing food, such as greasy fish and poorly executed paella, overshadowed the restaurant's potential. Although the younger staff displayed commendable courtesy, a rude managerial presence marred the atmosphere for many. Despite appealing views and a varied menu, the restaurant struggles to balance enjoyability and service, leaving diners divided on whether to return.
