Overall a great night at mariners.
We were well looked after and all needs were accommodated within a few minutes.
We had to wait 1:45h for a table on Tuesday night as they were fully booked, however when we arrived the restaurant was already almost empty which caused the star drop in atmosphere.
Food overall was very good.
I had myself scallops as a starter which were presented great and seasoned just right. The only let down was the temperature of the dish, as I would like them to serve a bit more hot. They were served on cold plates and cold puree which dragged down the temperature of the dish quickly.
As a main we both ordered Beef Wellington.
The fondant potato was executed just perfectly, with great flavour, seasoning and creamy texture. Green beans were vibrant, fresh and cooked just right on al dente side.
Jus was mediocre, lack of deep of flavour and felt like was helped to thicken with starches. Beef wellington itself was a great piece of meat with well cooked pastry, served exactly to the desired temperature, however it lacked seasoning during the searing process, also there wasn't much mushrooms (just little bit on the top) which combined with mediocre jus just felt more like unseasoned steak experience what took one star on food - however meat was great texture and flavour itself.
For desserts we had creme brulee and cheeseboard with coffee.
Timeless creme brulee had great flavour and sugar was caramelised just right, but texture was already slightly on scrambled side, what bring down overall dish to being good, not excellent.
Cheese plate was a nice surprise, as selection of 4 cheeses presented well in room temperature with flavoursome relish and jelly on selection of crackers accompanied with celery sticks was just perfect. It was one of the best cheese plate which I had for a long time.
Americano coffee has excellent crema on the top, served just hot enough, however coffee flavour was more on sour side what I personally liked, but for some coffee lovers it may be bit too much.
Really enjoyed the food but a was a little conflicted about the chicken. The menu said spring chicken and I guess in my head I thought of a chicken breast but was served a whole baby chicken. It made sense when I thought about it but felt a little odd when it first came out! (But that's just me.) The starter (fishcake) was lovely and my partner thoroughly enjoyed his satay chicken starter and steak main. Very efficient staff too and lovely atmosphere.
We had a lovely meal at Mariners on a cold February evening.
Despite it's age the boat come restaurant was warm and cosy.
The menu was small and concise and everything we ate hit the spot.
The grilled sardines and the pork belly were particular highlights.
A group of four of us who were sailing got a late (9pm) booking on a Saturday. The food was excellent and there was plenty of choice on the à la carte menu. A great wine list too. It was busy but the waiting staff were attentive and very friendly. The setting was great and everything was ‘ship shape’! At around £50 per head, including wine and drinks, it was really good value too.
Great food, friendly staff and a nice view over the water.
Great food, hospitality and ambiance.
Nice and warm and happy atmosphere. Went here for late mother's Day celebration. Views over marina good. Aesthetics great. Staff approachable and well humoured. Soundtrack and system in good taste and contemporary.
Been here before, will also come again
The food was good. Scallops and duck were phenomenal, but the steak was lackluster. It's absolutely beautiful and has so many options. I would love to return one day.
Lovely restaurant on an old boat. Decor is nice and the deck is lovely to sit on when sunny. The set menu is very good value for money. I had seafood skewer which was delicious and my partner steak which was HUGE but a little cold unfortunately. The waiters and chef provided the most excellent service though and insisted it was absolutely no trouble to swap it. Food is fresh great quality and tastes delicious. Drinks were good too and reasonably priced. The starters are excellent value at only £3!!!!! Eat here.
Recently visited to have a meal for our a anniversary. The atmosphere was great and staff very attentive. Food was delicious and we had a very nice time.
