Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lovely setting and huge amount of money spent in restoring and modernising after a fire that gutted the building. Made the most of the setting overlooking the harbour and Mounts Bay. Welcome good, food average and I felt expensive so not sure if locals will...frequent. Helpful regarding allergies.More

Great place for a casual dinner. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great food and lots of it! Staff were attentive without overdoing it. The food came quickly and was delicious. We had the Fish Pie, Beef Lasagne and a fantastic steak burger.

Disappointing overall. It was not value for money despite a lovely location. Food was expensive. In particular we had the hake special - 24 pounds and the serving was very small- see photo. My husband left hungry despite ordering a side of what turned out...to be a very small serving of fries for an additional 5 pounds .More

Good service, nice ambience, lovely location and excellent food. The staff were very obliging and always at hand. We spent 4 hours eating and drinking ending up on the terrace for our desserts and final drinks. The mussels were plentiful, fresh and well sized. Certainly...a dish to repeat in the future. All in all, a great Sunday lunch and worthy of a return visit.More

Came here for my mums birthday lunch, expecting nice things due to the reputation and the price. My mum and her partner had the lamb leg which was too fatty and the top slice seemed quite dry. My partner had sausage and mash which wasn’t...a generous portion at all as it didn’t fill him up. I wanted to order the lobster sliders however they didn’t have any so I ordered tiger prawns with chorizo and salad as a starter with a side of Parmesan truffle chips to make up a main. The tiger prawns were £9.50 and I had 3 prawns, a few leaves and tiny bits of chorizo the prawns tasted regular nothing special. The chips barley had Parmesan on which I had to ask for more. I would also suggest to put the truffle sauce on the side in a pot which most restaurants do as I could barely taste the truffle sauce. It was as if I paid £7 for a bowl of regular chips. For a birthday lunch that me and my partner travelled all the way down from Plymouth just for my mum to be disappointed was such a shame. Nothing worse then having a birthday ruined with an overpriced lunch not worth it. We would’ve have ordered a dessert as we were all still hungry but didn’t want to waste another £40 on further disappointment. I never complain and I hate writing bad reviews. Shame.More

Lovely meal for 4 while on holiday in the area. All ate off the specials board for starters and main courses. Service was excellent- warm and friendly, efficient but not rushed. Enjoyed a post dinner cocktail on the terrace which was a perfect finish to...the evening. Only slight gripe was with the cheeseboard I ordered - cheese was still chilled so didn't get the full flavour I should've and didn't understand the frozen grapes? Still would definitely recommendMore

Reasonable prices. I had starter size portion of moules, my son had ham...egg and chips. Both were simple meals presented and cooked beautifully. Local , massive mussels and nice sliced ham for my son. Definitely recommend.More

Stopped with a party of 10. Mixed adults and children. Great service and really good food, plenty of variety. Everyone was very happy. Great specials. Really enjoyed the sole and would recommend the scallops. If you don’t know the area you might not stop here...but do call in if you are in the area. We parked in Sandy Cove Car park which was really close.More

I don't think so - but contact them and ask! They are super helpful and lovely and if they can't sort you out themselves, I am sure they will point you in the right direction.
