Seafood Cafe & Restaurant in Cornwall

I will rate this place with a 5/5 according to my scale.Food quality: 2.6/3Ambiance of the place: 0.3/0.5Authenticity/ innovativeness of the place: 0.4/0.5Value/Price of the place: 0.4/0.5Service of the place: 0.4/0.5Total: 4.1/5We ordered a pair of seared scallops with seaweed butter and porthilly oysters, the smoked mackerel fishcake, potted Cornish crab, and the mussels and chips. Other than the crab, which was okay, everything else was outstanding. The oysters were fresh and complemented by the onions, the seaweed butter under the scallops were amazing, and the sauce of the mussels was creamy and a delightful complement to the mussels. This is one of the best seafood places in St. Ives, and I would recommend everyone to come and try their food.

Staff and decor good. Sadly the food fell short of expectations on this occasion. We ordered a steak - came cooked nicely but sides just included mash potatoes and peppercorn sauce. Salad, vegetables, mushrooms or onions would of completed the dish. Unfortunately the crab liguine tasted of lemon and any other ingredients (even the chilli) were over powered. Pretty amazing looking cocktail.

We ate at loads of places during our little trip to St Ives & this was the best restaurant we ate in. The mussels stood out though they were served with chips but was much better with bread (we ordered that separately). Tasted fresh & the sauce was amazing. Best mussels ever.

This lovely cafe was advised from a local fisherman and he was right.The place is really nice , situated in the centre of the Town. Menu has a good selection of starter, mains and sides . The majority are fish and seafood, good selection of vegetables dishes and some meat based ones.The fish and seafood were perfectly cooked, tasty and delicious. Portions are very good and and prices are right for this high quality. Staff is welcoming, warm and very kind.A very good experience

My family all ate lunch here today and it was delicious, clean plates all round . Friendly staff, lovely food and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

This is one of the two best European seafood restaurants I've been to, the scallops, king prawn, mussel were all perfect. If you go to St. Ives, you must eat this seafood restaurant.

Pleasant place for lunch! Especially recommend to orders mussels & chips here! To my own surprise they were really good when comparing to the ones I tried in France and Belgium which are famous for cooking them. However, oysters weren’t good, seemed like a waste of money (they were over salted and each costed us 3.5£).

I'm really struggling to give this more than 3 stars which is a shame because of all the reviews we read which was one of the reasons we ate here. The place is big and has a real 'tourist' feel to it. The service was a bit all over the place. We had 6 oysters to start with and they came on a slate plate - by the time we had finished the ice they came on had melted and was all over the table. Nobody cleaned it up so we had to! The seafood chowder was fine. I had fish pie as main and it was good. My husband had the Sole and said it was OK. There was nothing wrong with the whole meal - it was just average.

We had the most amazing meal here, food was incredible. The best meal we have both had in a very long time. Service was impeccable, all needs met with a smile!

Great spot if you have a reservation.The service was excellent and the food and presentation were great.Family friendly, good menu items for everyone in the family.Beer and wine selection is limited but they have good options, even Argentine wine.The location of the restaurant could not be better, though it must be noted that the restaurant does not have WiFi and mobile phone reception is very poor in St. Ives.Overall, a great experience for my family.But remember, book in advance!
