Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food was some of the best I’ve ever eaten - if not the best."
  • "The hake, octopus and mussel stew was one of the best meals I’ve had in long time."
  • "Superb food with innovative and passionate ideas."
  • "Food was excellent you could tell great care had been taken in putting together the meals, great balanced flavours with quality ingredients."
  • "Most amazing beef, loads of vegetables, Yorkshire puds to die for and dessert that was so good that I had to squeeze it in even though I was full!"
  • "The sticky toffee pudding with px sherry was the best sweet I’ve ever had at a restaurant."
  • "The food is very well put together and cooked brilliantly."

Cons:

  • "The fish was generally tasteless and overpriced - it was £26 for what was essentially a meal I could’ve got at the fish and chip shop."
  • "The beef was nice, but could have done with less smoke."
  • "The food was a bit bland, quite oily, and not what I was expecting from the price."
  • "Rabbit was a bit salty but food is high quality."
  • "We had roast pork, arrived with an oversized, over done yorkshire pudding, meat was excessively fatty and under cooked, veg was over cooked, gravy like water."
  • "The crispy fish option promised.... but did not deliver - it was little more than fish & chips."
  • "Very bland tasting. The cocktails were lovely and a decent price but I feel that the rest of the food was made to look overly fancy."

Service

Pros:

  • "The staff were amazing, the food was some of the best I’ve ever eaten - if not the best."
  • "The staff were extraordinary welcoming and helpful."
  • "The staff were very friendly."
  • "The staff are super!! The views are pretty special too!!"
  • "Customer service was amazing and made us feel very welcomed."
  • "The staff were excellent and even let us move table to have a prime harbor view spot."
  • "The staff is brilliant too, made our dinner memorable besides the great food."

Cons:

  • "Arriving a little after our appointed booking for 8.30pm, the attitude throughout seemed to be how quickly we could be served and exited."
  • "Service was a little confusing, I got asked several times if my food or drinks order had been taken."
  • "It was very busy not enough staff but the one's working did the best they could."
  • "The waiter we had had a bad attitude."
  • "Some staff appeared condescending and judgemental."
  • "Really disappointed with the customer service here, booked a table with a window seat as a birthday surprise, for the next evening, which apparently is on a first come first served basis, so as there were no bookings at that point, we took our chance, on arrival there was a window table set up for two, that apparently was reserved for someone else."
  • "Our waiter got between me and our baby so I couldn't reach her."

Atmosphere & Location

Pros:

  • "This restaurant is phenomenal! Food incredible, atmosphere on point and the staff are super!!"
  • "Location was perfect right on the shopping area and harbour and plenty of nice pubs and bars."
  • "You get the chilled laid back experience while eating some of the best food the town has to offer with a fantastic view of the harbour."
  • "Fab decor. With amazing views."
  • "The views are amazing!"
  • "Great views over Falmouth bay and towards Flushing."
  • "One of the finest views of the harbour in Falmouth."

Cons:

  • "Went here for our anniversary. Location is special but it was the worst meal we have had in a long time."
  • "We weren't lucky enough to get a table in a window but we could still enjoy a little of the view as the sun set over the water."
  • "A fire was lit downstairs and smoke bellowed up into the bar and restaurant we all left with a banging headache."
  • "We had to ask for the 'toons' to be turned down, as we were sat near to a speaker which appeared to diminish any conversation to a lip-reading exercise."
  • "Great location & friendly staff, sadly now that they have attempted to move upmarket, they have removed provision for smokers which means that if you are a smoker you are expected to smoke on the street."
  • "Although the apartment has some nice touches it is showing signs of wear and tear and is in need of a make over and a real deep clean."
  • "The room didn’t have a dishwasher, now TV or Amazon Prime. It was also a little less clean than we have been used to from other airB&B’s so felt we had to amend this before we could relax."

Value

Pros:

  • "Good selection of wines and beers, friendly service and reasonable prices."
  • "The prices are fair."
  • "We paid much less that I'd expect: about 75GBP for 2 mains, 2 drinks and 2 desserts."
  • "You get what you pay for and this is worth every penny."
  • "The place had a great atmosphere and was great value for money."
  • "And great value considering the location the atmosphere and the well thought out menu, it's always had me trying something new."
  • "The food and drink were brilliant and good value for money."

Cons:

  • "£6 for a pint of cider and £18 for a burger and chips, albeit that it was a very good burger, I still feel it's overpriced."
  • "Main course was tiny and they are charging top money."
  • "Gets dearer every time I visit. Small wine, two pints and an alcohol free beer came to over £20."
  • "For four people no starters, no desserts and only four small diet cokes the bill was just shy of £80.00. We nearly fell out of our chairs...."
  • "The Sunday roast was good, though overpriced."
  • "Rip off merchants looking to exploit people. Avoid."
  • "Disappointed, cold fatty roast, greasy yorkies, thin watery gravy, over priced for what it was."
