We booked this restaurant a few weeks before coming and I am so glad we did . We were able to sit outside which was lovely, the staff were friendly and the food was really good. We had the crab which was very tasty (and messy!). Also had good cocktails options!

We had a fabulous meal last week at Espresso, seafood was delicious and the service was great, very friendly staff and it was lovely to chat to the owner. It was a lovely surprise to find a restaurant of this standard which I booked purely on the reviews about a month before our holiday.

Thank you so much Helen and Izzi for an amazing Sunday lunch. We had clams and fish soup for starter, lemon sole and a large crab for mains, followed by a medley of desserts. What a treat! We will look forward to visiting again. I would highly recommend this little gem 🦀🦞🦐🦪

Sunday Funday at the Espresso Seafood Bar and Restaurant. We skipped breakfast at our hotel to enjoy a late afternoon lunch with Espresso. Where do I begin?? From the friendly greeting throughout our dining experience was on point. The dishes were prepared in excellence and even my husband said the cuisine brought him back to Singapore and the Caymans. C'mon, to find a place here of all places?? We can't even find a place of this caliber in my village in London!! BRAVO 👏 👏 Staff quick to service, seafood quality hard to be found at this level....Espresso deserves 5+ for their warm hospitality and positive experience. Thank you 🙏 ~ Mary & Geoff. My husband has all the cool pics..check his review on TripAdvisor ;-) #foodcoma

This place was a little surprise for us. We had mixed of fresh oysters to start with, then server also seafood small plates such as the sea bass ceviche, seafood soup, crab croquettes and chilli clams. Impressed by the dishes and saw the freshness of the lobster the next table ordered, I also ordered half a lobster and my partner had a whole lemon sole. All the seafood were very fresh and tasty. The portion size of the clams was a little bit small. For the lobster the waitress kindly accepted my request for the crusher claw.

A truly sublime restaurant, the food is exquisite. I tried skate and black for the first time which was out of this world. I recommend booking in advance since it seems people realise how good the food is. Dogs are welcome if you don't mind sitting outside.

A great dinner experience with colleagues last night, cosy place both out on the deck and indoors later on. Fantastic seafood and the wines to match, skate with black butte was magic. Thank you for the restaurant team there for taking good care of us 👍🏻 🇬🇧
