Went there on our daytrip to St Ives. Nice burgers, relaxed atmosphere and great view of the harbour. The chili fries are extremely hot, perhaps a litttle too hot. read more

Firstly, Blas doesn't take reservations - which means you might be facing a queue, and with good…read morereason too. Their food is superb. My 6yr old and I nipped in at 6:30PM on a recent trip to St Ives and couldn't have been more impressed. The decor is trendy, the service is excellent and the food is excellent. The waitress found us some space tucked in the corner at a little bar area but we were seated in minutes. The menu is interesting and there are lots of 'quirky' GBK style things. Great if you like that sort of stuff but I'm a cheeseburger guy and that's what I had. Rupert (the tiny taster) had a children's burger, which was still £6 but he ate the lot - and he's a burger aficionado. In short - this is a great place but expect to pay London prices for a premium burger. The real differentiator is their desire to do everything in the 'right' way. All of the decor is reclaimed, the meat is locally and organically sourced, even the cola is non-branded and made with agave nectar (instead of high-fructose corn syrup). My only complaint (more of an observation really) is that the music is quite loud - great for atmosphere but it was all a bit much for a very tired 6yr old. If you enjoy a good burger and you're happy to pay for it then you must try out this trendy joint.

We had an early sitting which meant that we got offered any table we wanted, which I always love. The good: 1) The décor and music were really cool. 2) Our waitress was lovely and helpful without being too intrusive. 3) The nachos were the best part of our meal. The tortillas were freshly fried which made them really tasty. I could have eaten more! The not so good: 1) The drinks wasn't that great. I like really thick milkshakes made with ice cream, but these ones tasted just like flavoured milk. I would have rather have had nesquick. And my pina colada was served with a lemon slice! So - the rest? Well, my bacon cheeseburger was huge but I wasn't really a fan. I just didn't enjoy it very much. It didn't say anything about sauce but it came covered in sweet BBQ sauce which I wouldn't normally have - add that to the sweet bread roll and it was just too much sweetness for me. My boyfriend got a chicken burger and I really wish I'd gone for that instead. Please understand that this review is based on my own tastes and I urge everyone to give it a go, but it just wasn't for me.

There are at least three different veggie burgers to choose from. I had the Halloumi burger both times because it was AMAZING and I could not get it out of my head! Hallounmi cheese, sundried tomatoes, portabella mushroom, and more in it. I was so satisfying and 'meaty'. I would love to try the other veggie burgers but I couldn't resist the Halloumi one again. It was served with thin chips and great homemade coleslaw. The chips were nice but nothing special and the tasty coleslaw portion was a bit on the small side (order extra). The décor is fresh and funky and the music is brilliant (feel good old classics). They even have special offers on a Monday. No phone signal as it is in a basement, so you actually have to talk to each other!
Sometimes I feel bad about writing reviews of places because I really, really want to enjoy them,…read morebut they let me down. That was my experience at The Meat Counter. It's a cute little restaurant with a small number of seats, but that's not a deterrent. The burgers on the board looked absolutely amazing, so we decided to get one cheeseburger with blue cheese and bacon and one of the bbq pork burgers (topped with bbq pork). We also split their animal-style cheesy chips. I also had a root beer (yes, they have root beer in the UK!) So the burgers. We split them in half, and they were two different buns. The bun on the pork burger was the right size, but a bit stale and crumbly. I would have preferred the burger to be cooked a bit more pink in the middle. And unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of flavor all around (the meat definitely needed more seasoning.) The cheese burger had a massive bun. It was way too big for the size of the patty, so we ended up eating only part of it. And with a blue cheese burger, I expect a nice rich experience, but it was still kind of bland and under-seasoned. And the animal-style cheesy chips. Coming from the US, I expected an In-N-Out animal style thing, and they were just some chips with a bland cheese sauce and a few chopped pickles. Not quite the animal style I was hoping for. So a good effort, but for me, it was lacking. Which is unfortunate. It's a super cool venue, and the music was great, and the workers were super friendly (and attractive!), but the food just really didn't stand up for me.

Luckily we were sat right under the specials board from that I instantly chose the fried haggis and then a ox cheek dish to follow. I also decided to sample a fire side cocktail which packed a punch of tequila. The fried haggis was sublime with it poached egg and was the perfect amount for a starter. Cream spinach was ordered to accompany my ox cheeks which turned out to be so tender! However it was so rich with the red wine sauce and mash that i struggled to finish. To complete the meal I opened the gin menu which was extensive. My friend had one that changed colour where I got a sake based one. Each one was carefully presented with delicate fruits .. Overall a very lovely place and a must to attend to in St Ives

But it was kind of pricey, especially considering it didn't come with bread or anything on the side. Flavorful and well-made, though.

I heard others being asked if they wanted dessert, and I might have been interested in that (which speaks to how non-full I felt after my meal), but I was ignored for too long. That was annoying, but they've got a vibe here that makes it a pleasant place to hang out. Great location on the Wharf. Worth checking out, especially if coming in just for drinks on the pub side.
