We have been to this restaurant many times over the years and after our recent meal we wondered why we don’t go more often. The owner is a friend but also would respect an honest review. First and foremost the food was exceptional and definitely the best we have had in recent times. It’s not a place that piles food on a plate and so once you taste the food can you only understand that it’s quality and not quantity. Every course (3) was delicious, presented on the plate beautifully and something different from the norm.
It’s not a cheap place to eat and nowhere is anymore but the food stood up to scrutiny.
I’m doing a review in depth because I was blown away by the food. The restaurant could do with refurbishing and the staff were not up to the standard of the food. It’s very difficult to get staff that stay around and Brexit hasn’t helped. The front of house should and must reflect the kitchen, which it doesn’t at the moment BUT the food was so so good that it just made up for the front of house and surely it’s all about the food.
So our review reflects the the food which was simply fantastic. Other aspects are sometimes very difficult to get right in a seaside town.
We absolutely endorse the great food, which is definitely the best in Newquay.

Stunning views and good food. We had a short break here October. Staff are lovely and the rooms are beautiful and clean. The views from the balcony are stunning. Well worth a visit. We'll definitely be back!

Great venue for dinner overlooking Newquay Harbour. Food was delicious and fresh. Staff were attentive but did not rush us. Only downside was quite noisy as floors are slate and music is playing.

If it’s possible i want to give them for than 5 star, why not!
We booked table for 2 at 6.20 and they said we can choose where we want to sit. So we decided to sit outside. The restaurant can see the view of the whole harbour but that’s not the point.
We order king prawns and mixed tempura for starters, and we were quite shocked for the potions of food. I had to finish half of it because im afraid i can’t continue with my main course.
We had caught of the day ( which is sole) and crab linguine. And as I expected, the potions were big, i cant finished even if I tried to force myself (because the taste was so wow)
I don’t think this place is pricey, to be honest compared it to the potions of food and the quality of the ingredients. I think they are so generous!
And of course the service, exceptional!

Another fine lunch in what has to be for me personally the best restaurant in Newquay, always come here every time we are down well done and if open around Christmas we will be in again.

We had an amazing meal at this quaint restaurant overlooking the harbour in Newquay yesterday. The food was delicious and the front of house professional and friendly. We shared a starter of beetroot risotto with burrata, followed by cod loin with vegetables and fish and chips, finishing with trifle which they likened to Eton Mess. All dishes were so colourful, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. As seasons visitor’s to Michelin star restaurants over the last 30 years we consider the food and presentation to be up there with the best. Big shout out to Dale the restaurant manager and Andrew for great service

Nice fresh seafood. A bit pricey but usual Newquay prices. It was very quiet when we visited in November, but great location with amazing sea views.

Absolutely beautiful place, amazing quality food, lovely staff and the most beautiful scenery. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended, a great touch on our break away.

Amazing food and great service. Definitely try out the steak, mini but mighty. Took the photo after the first bite - apologies!

A lovely dinner here with my wife. The food was top notch. The waitress was fabulous! Well worth our drive down from Polzeath. We will be back with family again soon!

Brilliant evening at Harbour Fish and Grill in Newquay tonight! Aaron Janes and his young staff gave us an unforgettable evening: amongst other things we had cajun tuna and a fantastic Eton mess, wonderfully prepared for eyes and palate. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed and the young staff made the whole evening the best one we ever had! All to a very moderate cost! We may very well come back back from Sweden just to visit Harbour Fish and Grill again!

Had a excellent Sunday lunch, shared a starter between 3 and then the lovely roast beef just fell apart in your mouth. My sweet the rice pudding was delicious and I didn’t want it to end, different tastes and textures unlike any other rice pudding I have ever had. Trouble is I have travelled home today to Retford and I will have to wait a few months before I am back in Cornwall to visit again. Very welcoming staff i.e lovely Spanish lady. Will be back

I went with a friend for my birthday. We shared a starter followed by our main course or crab linguini and sole. Both were cooked to perfection with lovely flavours. We didn't have a dessert as the options given didn't appeal and we felt may be quite heavy late in the evening. As I have a fairly small appetite the portion size was idea. The food served was hot too.

A friendly welcome and attentive service, including giving great confidence in providing gluten free choices. Delicious, beautifully presented food which we couldn't fault. Can't wait to go back and try something else off the varied menu. Thank you to all the staff for creating a wonderful eating experience.
