Emily's in Cornwall

Truly outstanding. The most beautiful setting, some of the best food I’ve ever had and excellent drinks.The dining room is fronted floor-ceiling entirely with glass windows / doors overlooking the magnificent beach. We were on one of the tables right by the windows and I’d suggest asking for one of these (or even better in the sort of conservatory which was only for larger tables) for the full experience. It’s also nicely decorated with pressed seaweed works from an artist in Fowey.We had elderflower martinis as an aperitif then the 2-course lunch. The salmon sashimi was top quality fish served in a simple but elegant soy sauce with yuzu. Salt cod frittatas were so flavoursome. I had cod for mains which was once again a light, delicately flavoured dish that allowed the quality of ingredients (the cherry tomatoes, for example) and cooking to do the talking. Nick had stone bass in a curry sauce which was also excellent, as were the fried potatoes and tender stem broccoli we had as sides. Both white wines were delicious (Vermentino then Chablis) and complemented the food perfectly. The Hungarian dessert wine I had was outrageously good.£100 a head when you add in coffees. At that quality we were happy to pay it.

Glorious scenic setting, with friendly and welcoming staff, elevated to the heights by superb craftsmanship in the kitchen. There's little more to say. What more could you want? With the emphasis on fish, obviously, our dishes were flawlessly prepared. OK, it's a little bit pricey, but use your money to make memories. You'll make them here.

We dined here after see Emily Scott on a Rick Stein programme recently. She had just catered for the G7.We were blow away with food choices we made on our visit.Everything was delicious and the setting beautiful as hopefully my photos capture.

Our dinner at Emily Scott Food was the absolute highlight of our holiday in Cornwall. Of course the restaurant's location is stunning. Every table has a beautiful view of Watergate Bay, no matter where you sit. But Emily ticks all the boxes for a great dining experience. She puts so much love into every detail and you can see that not only in the styling of the restaurant, but also in every dish that is served. Each plate is like a painting and Emily's food is absolutely delicious. Seasonal with beatiful ingredients. The service is also very friendly and relaxed. My absolute number 1, can't recommend it enough.

Style over substance. I went to this restaurant the night before my wedding with my mother, sister and auntie. It was meant to be a special night, instead it was the most disappointing experience I’ve ever had. The service was the worst part of the evening. The waiter was so uninterested from the start. We waited 1 hour 45 minutes for our starter, no apology offered. We were given our main courses not too long after our starters were clearer which was good. We were offered the most insincere ‘sorry for your wait’. We were so fed up we asked for the bill (twice!) once we had finished our mains. Very poor experience on what should have been a night to remember ☹️

What a delight this restaurant is. The food is simple and yet has finesse. The staff are charming. The decor is bright and breezy. We can't wait to go again. Emily Scott is one of Cornwall's true gems.

What a fabulous meal. Service was excellent, with a perfect balance of attention and intuition from everyone. The food was absolutely outstanding. While we didn't have everything on the menu, we did try our utmost to do so! Everything was fantastic and what a view!! Very, very highly recommended.

A bit pants really. We took our 14 year old son for his first "fine dining" experience and it was totally disappointing. Both courses that my son had were very over seasoned. Poor basic cooking, over priced, not at all exciting (his main was removed from the bill but damage done). Emily states that less is more - perhaps quite a bit more would help - and I mean adventure not volume or salt. We may have just been unlucky but it did seem like one of those "I saw you coming" places. Poor.

A beautiful spot looking over the sea, lovely decor and friendly staff. My food was nicely made but starter and main were very very salty (and I like my food well seasoned - I carry salt in my purse!!!). I did give them the feedback. Highlights were the bread and cep butter, the Tonka bean white Russian and the wine (great wine list). Overall experience very nice but the saltiness and lack of balance on my dishes because of this was a problem and I could finish neither.

A completely amazing experience. Food was incredible and the views over Watergate Bay go hand in hand with the choices on the menu. There to leave an impact!Staff were attentive and polite, the service great throughout. Considering this was only the fourth week being open, I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you!
