I own a business so I would never give low stars to another business because it’s just arbitrary, so I have given 5. Great location and good food but you are seriously losing out on two key areas. 1. Answer the phone! 2. Ditch the bell system. The staff need to be out there mingling and making sure everyone is taken care of and upselling more drinks and deserts at every opportunity. Not disappearing and waiting for a bell to ring. Those two point alone are losing you bookings and income.

A great location right on the water, with a lovely “boat atmosphere” inside. I had the halloumi and mushroom vegetarian burger and it was unique and not your average veggie burger. Servers were kind, helpful and attentive. A peaceful spot.

Last night of our holiday, and we had our eye on this place on the sea front. Very busy but worth it. Friendly staff, good service, fair prices, excellent food. We had the ventnor crab ramekin and breaded whitebait starters followed by the seafood linguini and Aberdeen Angus burger, fantastic food, cannot fault anything. Wonderful end to an amazing holiday

The food was ok. Everybody else had good food. My fish pie was ok, but was perhaps a bit over zealous with the cheese. It was swimming in cheese oil. I love love cheese normally but even that was a bit too much for me!! Prawns were rubbery as well. Another person had the cheese “fondue” sadly not accurate as it was a baked Camembert. Could come unstuck with that - because it is a slight mis-representation - but it was still nice.

Lovely view over the sea. A limited but tasty menu. The chicken salad with new potatoes was good and the sticky toffee pudding excellent.

We booked the night before and had Sunday lunch. The best Sunday lunch we have had in a long while, not to be missed. The chef at the Carvery station was a delight! Huge selection of carvery items and all delicious. The whole family enjoyed it and the staff were so welcoming and kind. Highly reccomend this place.

Great food and great staff. The whole family enjoyed themselves. Baby changing table is located behind the first stall of the women's. You can conveniently call staff via a table button - something you need to teach kids not to play with! I ordered their last seafood linguine which was delicious, the variety of seafood wasn't a lot but the crab and lobster bisque was on point. Would highly recommend.
