Had this place recommended to us and owe them a drink. Friendly service from the moment you walk in the door. A bit of kitchen theatre watching the chefs do their magic and absolutely stunning food. Clams followed by lobster, prawn and crayfish risotto.
We ate at Salt & Samphire last night and I still haven't stopped thinking about it! The service was the most welcoming, attentive and friendly I've ever had in a restaurant. The staff have created a real family-friend atmosphere and were so knowledgeable about the menu. Plenty of gluten-free options which is a rarity so really good to see.
As for the food...... If I could give more stars I would. Absolutely delicious. We cannot wait to go back.
I have to echo a previous review, the lobster, prawn and crayfish risotto is one of the best dishes I’ve had. The lobster was so perfectly cooked it was amazing.
We arrived in St Merryn really late and we’re looking for somewhere to grab anything. We went in and the kitchen had just closed but Lauren (I think) said if we ordered straightaway she’d see what she could do.
Between us we had 2 risottos, hake or sole (?) and pasta. We left 3 bone dry plates and only didn’t finish the pasta because it was such a generous portion. We all then had chocolate and caramel tarts. Again, so yummy!!!
By the time we’d finished it was closing time and Lauren said good night and we finished up with the owner (Tim?). He was as friendly and nice as Lauren.
Excellent restaurant and staff, and even better food. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.
