The Seafood Restaurant

We ate here a for lunch, a few days ago, and the food was lovely and the staff were very attentive. The only negative was that whilst we understood it to be a 3 course lunch special, we had checked with their customer service team and they did tell us (twice in fact), that we would have a choice of three dishes from each course - it turned out there was no choice and because of that we would likely have gone elsewhere. Having said that, whilst we might have chosen different meals, had we had a choice, the food was absolutely lovely !

We have eaten here many times previously but this was by far the best experience we’ve had… Food was outstanding, excellent choices with high quality wines to accompany food. Service was to the highest standard with our waitress Eleanor just amazing (only been at the restaurant for 4 weeks!!). Thank you..

I can’t recommend a meal here enough. The food is excellent and ‘good’ portions, the atmosphere is great - very relaxed but appropriate and the staff are excellent- friendly & attentive but not overly so, and able to make recommendations based on experience. Rick is a bit of a hero of mine and his flagship restaurant does not disappoint.

From arrival to departure, the staff looked after us well. Zoe and Poppy were helpful and knowledgeable about the food and wine, which was really helpful in our decision making. The main man was in the kitchen, "cheffing" away and our table overlooked the prep area, through the doorway so we could keep an eye on him! As you'd expect, the food was exceptional and served in a timely manner. We had champagne as an appetiser, scallops as a starter (grilled and sushi sed) with poached trout as a main. All wonderfully prepared. The sauvignon blanc went down a treat too....! Finishing off the meal with a Rum Baba and a profiterole, the kitchen staff also produced a personal message for my wife that was unexpected.

Had one, of many, of my 50th birthday celebrations in this lovely restaurant. We had 3 different starters. The sashimi, the tuna tartare and the souffle. All were fabulous! Then Hake, monkfish curry and the squid ink risotto. With softshell crab & heirloom tomato salad chasers! All absolutely lovely. Great wine too. And a complimentary glass of champagne when we first sat down. Absolitely stuffed when we left, luckily we were staying at St Edmunds House just behind the restaurant, so not far to walk. Can't recommend enough.

Amazing food, lovely staff and beautiful setting. Enjoyed the Tempura Soft Shell Crab for Starter, Roast Monkfish for Main and Affagato and the Peanut Butter & Banana Cheesecake for Dessert 🍽️ we really enjoyed a glass each of the Chenin Blanc Secateurs (large was around £15). It’s an extensive wine list, but I recommend that for a white wine.

8 of us went to Rick Steins for lunch. It was absolutely fantastic. Food excellent, staff knowledgeable and friendly. The restaurant is spacious and clean. I had the cheese souffle, fish curry and a fantastic chocolate pudding to die for. All washed down with good wine and a drop of water. The bill was a pleasant surprise bearing in the the name & location £100 pp. Gold stars all round.

Dined here for a celebratory dinner. Welcoming friendly team. Delicious food, we had a selection including fish stew and fish curry dishes. Reason overall rating was a 4 was because not all desserts arrived at same time. Given two out of three were cold (one plain ice-cream which needed to be eaten as stated to melt) not sure why this was not possible at this premium restaurant. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a lovely family evening here.
