Very nice restaurant! Excellent food and view of seashore, sunset! The oyster is very fresh. It's my first time eating fresh oyster without any cooking. Never thought such fantastic tastes. The other seafoods are also very good. We arrived slightly late near closing, so we didn't book a table, just sit and order. I guess it might need a pre-book for popular hours. The only thing is that the car park is very small, for less than 10 cars. So if you are driving to the restaurant, make sure to find a place to park. We also take a walk after that. The sunset is so beautiful ! Best seafood experience ever !

Had to wait (about 30 mins) for our orders and it wasn't that busy. The seafood platter is still worth the trip every now and then. The parking can be a bit 'tight' as it is a very popular restaurant.

We went late October and it was a beautiful day so we had a wait a while for a table outside (we also had our dog with us so outside was the only option). Love the atmosphere being right next to the water. Once you bag yourself a table, you go inside to order and help yourself to cutlery etc. The food was fantastic, lovely fresh oysters and prawns, decent fish and chips. However the food took ages to come out - no wonder the wait for a table is so long!

They need to have a bigger restaurant and car park as it can be crowded at times esp summer.Apart from that food was awesome 😍👌.Great host and friendly people. Would highly recommend this place to seafood lovers.

Nice location on a sunny day. Service was quick and friendly. We choose from the specials. I had a crayfish and salmon salad which was well presented with copious amounts of salmon. The good lady had grilled oysters with cream and parmesan which were well cooked and meaty. Both dishes came with really nice fresh bread. We would definitely go back. The best seafood on Mersea Island this time around.

Lovely food, very busy, people were lining up to sit outside!! Nice staff as well. Look forward to them opening the out door seating area so we can get some sun whilst we eat. Even the dogs loved it and they were welcomed as well

What a treasure! We had a fantastic lunch here. The oysters were superb, fish platter fresh and plentiful and staff friendly. Red velvet cheesecake was the best I've had. Can't wait to be able to come back.
