We went for a very late lunch to celebrate my husband's birthday. There wasn't much they could do about the weather - it poured - but the views over the bay were spectacular and we really liked the restaurant set up. It was casual and relaxing, and the guy that seated us was extremely helpful. He even put our minds... more

My partner and I had the pleasure of going to the Hix oyster & Fish house for a celebration meal. The decor is simple but pleasant. The view across Lyme bay is outstanding. We ordered oysters to start followed by Crab and a simple grilled fish. The food was pleasantly served, little garnish but the seasoning was correct and the... more

My wife and I visited Hix for our joint birthday / anniversary. We stayed in Lyme Regis only, to visit this restaurant. On Saturday we had a fantastic meal of the freshest seafood avilable. The decor was befitting a sea-facing restaurant with washed pine tables, a wooden floor and windows to the sea. It reminded us of a warm evening... more

Yet again we had a superb meal at Hix in Lyme Regis, this time as a late birthday celebration for my fiancee. We took my father along with us and he was most impressed with the standard of the food and the very warm welcome we received from all the staff and in particular Jonathon who is an integral part... more

My friend and I visited Hix Oyster and Fish House for lunch on 23rd.September 2009, although we had not booked we were found a table fairly quickly in a crowded restaurant.I say crowded because there were far too many tables for the size of the restaurant, atmosphere was completly absent. The food was far too expensive for the quality, quantity... more

Lots going for this restaurant - particularly the location - but quite a bit to grumble about. This reviewer far prefers to find the good in things rather than seek out and emphasise the bad - BUT - £10.75 for 4 thin strips of tasty smoked salmon - only one red or white wine below 20 quid !! - the... more

This is our 2nd visit here, the first being in March this year (2009). We had such a fantastic time, even though it cost a fortune (approx £140 for 2 of us!!) after a couple of bottles of wine, and more than a few Cider Apple Brandies to finish! The service was wonderful, suggestions were forthcoming when we couldn't really... more

If you are in Lyme Regis and looking for good food in a contemporary setting + a great view Hix is the place for you. It really does not have any competition in its class. Hix is a bit hard to find (above the gardens overlooking the harbour) but well worth it. Not cheap mind, but great food and good... more

If you are looking for a decent seafood experience on the Dorset coastline, this will scarcely provide it and prices are very much mid to high end London prices. Whilst our starters were pleasant enough (recommend the scallops), 4 thin strips of smoked salmon for £10.75 hardly seemed like good value. Our mains were disappointing, in particular the lemon sole,... more
