I highly recommend both the Bass and the Haddock, as well as the Dessert Soufflée and Apple Pie(? . Every single component of every dish was cooked to perfection. A little on the pricey side but well worth every penny Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Luxury, Great view, Romantic, Quiet

Only downside is that the price point was we felt very high. (Also note there is very limited parking, although we had no trouble walking from Port Isaac)

Food was absolutely delicious but portions were little bit small. Even though it is fine dining restaurant portions could be larger a bit to enjoy the food. read more Food was absolutely delicious but portions were little bit small.

Couldn't believe the bill they presented me with. Extortionate. And we left hungry. Cancelled the tables we had booked for the rest of the fortnight. The other families we usually meet there also did the same. The ambience has died as virtually nobody is dining there. In previous years booking was essential now just turn up as there are plenty of tables. Not surprising really when they charge £7 for a beer and £85 for a small Monkfish as a sharing dish. Insulting.

As it is (very fast) tapas style service, we wanted to order some dishes and then order more later if needed. However, we were told that the kitchen closes at 9pm, so all our main course tapas dishes would need to be ordered before then. Why take bookings for 8.30pm (or 8.45) then?? When we queried this, the waitress said others had asked too, but that was just the rule. Piece of advice maybe listen to your customers? We did manage to order a few more small plates just after 9, but they were all on the table within another 5 minutes, meaning that we had finished eating by around 9.15pm. We ordered desserts, which we are eating at 9.30pm, only an hour after sitting down, accompanied by the smell of cleaning fluid as the staff cleaned the restaurant around us (we were the last people in there). The food was OK, but not as good as it used to be and certainly not justified by the extortionate prices we ended up paying well over £300 for 6 of us (with two bottles of wine and one beer) for an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience. The restaurant needs to realise that people spending this amount of money do not want to be rushed, and want to be made to feel welcome. It was quite the opposite it felt like a money grabbing exercise by people who don't really care. And, as I said above, we will not be back. Shame.

What a little Gem. Stunning food, great service in a lovely location. Highly recommended. Parking A bit restricted but definitely worth the walk. read more What a little Gem.

Imaginative food at an affordable price, with a menu slightly changing daily, great staff, definitely a recommendation from me. Would have liked more local caught produce on the menu such as lobster, scallops, etc. Of the 3 places we eat this probably edged it on the food front. I have given the other venues 5* also BTW.

If busy, I could understand, but it wasn't busy at all. A younger person walks in and gets served before me, even though i was waiting, which I found very rude. To top it off, I wasn't expecting the shock of the price for a glass of wine- the fact of the bar person apologise for the price says it all, I found this extremely sad, in a place which was perfect in every way, welcoming, price, and now got greedy

Waited to be served for ages. I think the food is very overpriced!! £18 for a sandwich?! Joke. Nice cosy bar area, and beautiful port, shame the pub is situated where it is. Sadly won’t be returning, don’t know why people even go!
