We were lucky to just walk in and get an inside table at 2pm. Very pleasant quick service, did not like wine served from miniature bottles. However the crab baguette and crab salad were so out of this world delicious, so fresh and sweet, that we would give 10 stars if possible. Very nice view of the marina, we really enjoyed being on this floating cafe. Our only regret is not having enough time in our itinerary to visit again.

A very windy and wet day. Choppy sea causing the restaurant to sway slightly whilst try to eat. It made the visit interesting, but still had a great meal with drinks. There were seven people in our group for meals and drinks. Limited parking here.

Booked a table outside on a Sunday. Enjoy lovely views over the water. Simple menu but perfectly fresh and tasty. We had lobster and crab, the crab was amazing. We shared a mixed chilled bottle of Rose from Provence. All the staff were friendly and efficient. Unisex toilet nice and clean. Highly recommend.

Gosh! How absolutely lovely this is! We had the dressed crab salad and thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful! The Speciality Seafood Platter looked amazing but we knew we could not manage it all sadly. We had swans and ducks swimming outside our window and were quite entertained by people arriving on boats for lunch. Definitely book in advance. There are two sittings at 12 noon and 2pm, but they are pretty busy!

Lovely place found by just passing by. Great service. I had prawn sandwiches, and my daughter had prawn baguette accompanied by a great salad. Kids had chips and ice cream🤣🤣🤣

Never had seafood before and this blown our expectations out of the water. Was very nice! While it was costly for 2 with dessert it was well worth the price with us only going once! Would 100% recommend if you're looking for seafood in the Isle of Wight! Lovely area.

We'd seen the reviews and decided to treat ourselves my wife said it was the best crab she'd ever eaten and is now in her top 3 meals ever! Make sure you book! Yes it's on the pricey side! Yes the people who work there could force a smile! But overall well worth a visit
