What a surprise! I also got one of their specials - Halloumi Burger which was equally fresh and tasty. I highly recommend eating here.

They also excel at that delicate balance between doting service and just bringing food out. Being here early in the season meant we were first to be seated for dinner, but if you're going to be here during the height of the season, book ahead - like two weeks ahead. The fish and chips I ordered were the best I've ever had, with the mashy peas tasting fresher than their name deserves. The breeding on the fish was perfectly crispy, which meant the fish inside was steamed to perfection. My dining companion's white crab linguine was also a work of art. Generous chunks of crab were steeped in a rich sauce to adhere perfectly to the pasta. Fortunately, she couldn't finish the plentiful portion, so I was enlisted to help. It was a happy duty. We were recommended a local cider, which was tasty and snappy without being overly sweet. I opted for a Guinness, which, when activated with the ultrasound exciter, brought out the full flavor of the brew, as well as the rich texture. We interacted with at least four members of the waitstaff, and found them each charming in their own way. Friendly, flavorful, and fun. What more could you ask for in a dinner experience?

SALMON, OTTERS & DUCKS The Daily Telegraph wrote: Henry Williamson,…read moreborn in 1895, served in the trenches during the First World War. This extremely sensitive, highly strung and romantic soul never recovered from the horror and the disillusionment he experienced in Flanders. From 1921 onwards he buried himself in the little North Devon village of Georgeham, seeking an escape from inner torment by exploring and writing about the wild and unfrequented landscapes of Exmoor. Growing up in the London suburbs, I was eternally gratefully for his highly-acclaimed works 'Salar the Salmon' and 'Tarka the Otter' which would instantly transport me to my beloved North Devon, where I spent so many happy times visiting family during the summer school holidays; a real home from home. My parents went back to their original home there upon retirement and I still visit my mother there when possible. Tonight we must go the Rock at Georgeham, she announced during a recent visit, so go we did. I had a vague memory of having gone there many years ago, but vague it remained. It is essentially an old timbered pub, with a modern conservatory. Food is served in both areas and we decided to sup some Rioja in the traditional area. Photo link: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd76/Textklick/Qype%20pix/067bf03a.jpg The menu is very convincing and even more so the specials menu, which is displayed on a board but also available in print. Photo link: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd76/Textklick/Qype%20pix/4ac9c2a0.jpg I thought that that the 'Georgeham cured ham' sounded pleasingly alliterative, poetic or whatever, and it certainly did not disappoint. The pan roasted duck breast was sensational, although I did not take so well to the 'gooseberry tarte tatin' which was 'tarte by name and tart by nature'. I think duck really deserves something a bit sweeter, but if anything it was my fault because I chose it. La contessa and la dowager contessa were delighted with their choices. Reasonable prices, excellent food, great ambiance and also friendly staff who definitely seemed just that bit more professional than average. Do take a look at the excellent website and if you are in that neck of the woods, you will not regret visiting.

The restaurant is small but beautifully done, with artwork, coasters and other decor from a local shop and a seaside feel to it. The bathroom is extremely small (think of an aircraft lavatory), but I otherwise had no complaints. We sat at an intimate table in the window that offered a pleasant breeze from the open door and at the same time, a cozy nook that allowed us to speak rather than shout. I ordered a perfect caprese salad with fresh mozzarella di bufala, plenty of basil and ripe tomatoes, and a beautiful sprinkling of olive oil. The lemon sole was absolutely divine and accompanied by a delicious salsa verde. Though people rave about Fifteen in Watergate Bay, I found the quality of the food at The Harbour to be superior. It was fresh, well cooked, and truly delicious. That being said, I suppose you get what you pay for: the bill at The Harbour was also far more than the bill at Fifteen. Jason runs front of house at The Harbour, and I thought his service was excellent, although I did get the impression we might have rubbed him the wrong way when we complained about the parking situation (note: during the summer months, Port Isaac is home to Fisherman's Friends, an a cappela singing group. Thousands of people flock to the town to hear them perform Friday evenings on the beach, which means you'll probably be paying for parking a mile away from the restaurant). Nonetheless, I found him to be very attentive and polite.
