The food was exceptional. We attended with our extended family for a wedding celebration and we were looked after by James who tended to our every need with a smile on his face! The food was sublime, we all had 3 courses and had empty plates every time. We will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff at the Harbourside Refuge that made our lunch today so special. :)

The most delicious meal we had during our stay in cornwall. Such a good range of gluten-free options. LOVE that it is dog friendly as well so my boy didn’t have to be left home alone. Emily served us and was really friendly and helpful. We’ve been coming here for years and it is always a highlight.

Very good food in a super location. The presentation is good and the staff are friendly and forthcoming with information. We went twice on our visit and enjoyed the restaurant on both occasions.

Loved this place, first time I've been since Mr Stein sadly left porthleven. As a local we need to support stuff like this, it brings people to our area who spend in the other shops and businesses. This will also encourage more businesses to come to the area etc. So I will be going again soon. One criticism although slight, please put on wines that I can't buy at Sainsbury's, this was disappointing, I like to try new wines at nice restaurants (which this certainly is), not wines I have already bought considerably cheaper from the supermarket. Lovely food, fantastic helpful staff, local employer.

Delightful. Did exquisite. Service personable and friendly. Location awesome. Chocolate mousse, cherry filling with milk ice cream over a brandy snap is a dessert highlight for quite a few years! Magic.

Superb food and very friendly staff! If you are in Porthleven, you have to try the Harbourside Refuge. I recommend you book ahead though, as like most of the restaurants in the area, they are busy.

Some really nice dishes are available, but for a high-class harbourside restaurant, I would expect more seafood dishes on the menu. What there was was high quality and tasty.

Every time we visit Cornwall we have to dine at Harbourside. The quality of food and wine served by attentive and knowledgeable staff never disappoints. Thank you Michael Caine for keeping your brilliant restaurant open during troubled times.

We loved this place! Everything was superb. The atmosphere was relaxed but the service was attentive and friendly. We felt very lucky to be able to get a table upstairs on the terrace under a brolly, in July. The food was fabulous. Perfectly cooked fish, delicious oysters. Can't wait to get back there in the spring.
