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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Excellent environment, good food, amazing cheesecake. But the reason I will put such an excellent score is the service, specifically Carys.

Great food, amazingly friendly and helpful staff however far too noisy… music blaring which meant that you had to shout to each other to be heard … and with everyone doing the same thing it was uncomfortable

Fabulous Beaujolais Day food. Very impressed with every course. Seabass melted in my mouth and the chocolate dessert was the perfect finish. Definately next year and in between! Thank you so much for a wonderful day!

Was expecting more - menu limited, expensive, portions small, service poor and ordering a nightmare (wanted us to use an app') a large table for a family event was split in two - for their convenience (not ours) and still the gap between serving 1...and then the other was appalling. so much so that managers were called and free drinks issued (we didn't ask for them). the food - was good, please don't take the service thing as the norm. Maybe it was a bad night.More

A great restaurant and one I frequent often.... as they specialise in fish, which is a favourite of mine that's what I normally go for, but tonight I went for the Rib Eye Steak and on my word, it was like cutting through butter, great...texture and cooked medium rare just as I ordered. Not a great chip person but their chips are excellent, more like mini baked potatoes! The food along with the wonderful service where you are always made to feel like part of the family rather than just a customer makes this a wonderful venue.More

Went for a friends birthday so was prepared to spash out a bit but £65 each (including wine) a but steep. Food was really well cooked and served and excellent staff throughout. Great for fish lovers and really good steaks too but be prepared to...pay . Charging £3.95 for half pint of Estrella a bit naughty when a pint costs £5.95More

Expecting to find a wider variety of available seafood in general. The fish on ice showing cloudy eyes made choose the meet option on a “fisherman’s” restaurant.

I visited a few years ago and this place was amazing. I’ve returned and extremely disappointed. The food is not terrible, but bang average at best for the price and the nature of the cuisine. Starters were cold, side dish were dry and over cooked....Fish dishes were bland. Nice enough staff and service, but a very rushed experience. Food came out too quickly, which suggests all food is pre cooked and reheated.More

Amazing food at this restaurant. I had Colley which was the fish of the day, which was beautiful!! The potatoes with the mojo sauce were fab, too. Can highly recommend the rice pudding for dessert. Helpful and friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere! Will definitely return!
