It was such an amazing opportunity for me to have dined in here during my visit in Cornwall area with my friend's family. The restaurant is in great location overlooking the ocean at Watergate Bay just a bit up north from New Quay. The restaurant inside is very airy, open, simple but modern looking. We all opted for the tasting menu. Everything was excellent from the start to finish .. appetizer, salad, small plate, main course, and dessert. The service was also excellent. The coffee (in my case hot tea) was served after meal as well. The tasting menu is pretty pricey but well worth it. If you are ever in the Cornwall area, this is one of the places that shouldnt be missed!

Didn't eat bread as am not a bread person but shell fish....yum. The menu didn't have dairy-free desserts so they made me dairy-free pavlova which was so absolutely perfect - I'm taking off my imaginary hat. Service was good - attentive and making me feel very welcome. If you're ever in Newquay - go for it.

The only thing she could eat here was chips. I had the mixed fish linguini, my partner had some chips and my daughter had the children's tomato linguini. The Fish was very special; freshly cooked prawns and lovely mussels. The linguini in both dishes was cooked to perfection. Service was quick and polite. The chips were amazing which was brilliant for my partner as all holiday she has seen everyone around her eat lovely food while all she could eat was the most basic things. The restaurant still has an old charm to it, it hasn't been polished into a chic modern restaurant, and I love it more for this.

The portions of fish were generous and the price is right for what you get. The service was well-- serviceable but I wish they were a bit more attentive. We finished our meal and waited probably a good 10 minutes before we had to ask for the check. Then we waited another 10 minutes for us to wait until we finally had to ask to server about paying and we got directed to the front to pay. Perhaps we Americans have a different set of expectations at restaurant and I'm certain there was an amount of miscommunication on our part. I still love the food and totally recommend visiting here for the food but I just wish that we were a bit more clued in as far was the check was concerned.

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?
