I have been a regular over a seven year period, lost touch over the last 18 months or so as I had moved to a differat part of the island. Thourally enjoyed a meal again last night and I have to question why we stoped going, I guess Jersey just has too many restaurants. Great little restaurant super team who... More

Can't say enough positive things. This is the first time I've felt strongly enough to write a review. We visited on a Saturday night it was busy but felt relaxed, we didn't feel rushed - only welcome. The staff were friendly, with great recommendations on both food and wine. The menu extensive, and the specials mouthwatering, it was too hard... More

Went here on a Friday night and there were a few large group tables in at the same time as us. The food here is usually really good and the portions are generous and service friendly. Only thing is that the service - as friendly as it is - can also be very slow. Half of our table got their... More

First impressions were good. The place was busy and had a nice feel about it - bubbly like Italian restaurants are supposed to be. We ordered garlic bread to start and were surprised to be given half - four slices arranged prettily in the plate with spaces where the other half should have been, We were not too bothered as...

Dear Madam, I wish to appologize for the disappointment that you experienced while visiting our restaurant the other day. I'd like to explain a couple of things that you mentioned and hope that we can share why and how we do certain thing, certain ways! On a Friday and Saturday evening our one pizza chef will make between 120-150 pizzas... More

Took a local's recommendation and visited La Cantina. We were not disappointed! We all loved the pizza! The gang voted for a repeat visit the following day. Marcus, the owner, spent quite a bit of time talking with us and really made us feel at home. A winner! More

It depends what floats your boat, and what you're in the mood for I suppose when it comes to eating on the island, this restaurant was just the job for what we were looking for at the time. Friendly mix of staff, in a very relaxed inclusive atmosphere. The food was lovely, and was delivered with a smile from the... More

Having read good things in the local 'Appetite' magazine - which had pointed us in the direction of the fabulous and Michelin pub guide recommended Bass and Lobster in Gorey - we expected much much more. Pretty grotty location with averagely uninspiring interior and grumpy waitress. Fabulous sounding menu and 'specials' resulted in average food falling well below the promise... More

Unfortunately we didn't find this restaurant until the last day of our holidays, otherwise or we would have returned many times. The food is excellent, nothing is too much trouble, my husband and myself are vegetarians and we were well catered for. In addition if we were unable to find anything on the menu to our taste we were offered... More

Nicely decorated restaurant with a nice atmosphere. However, from rave reviews on this website, was expecting better. Not very good value for money. Food was average. More
