Fantastic meal. My partner booked in for my birthday and I had a fantastic experience. Every course was brilliant. The pairing wine was also delicious. We will be back!

Fantastic in every way. But most importantly, the food here is 10/10, great quality produce, cooked perfectly. All three of us agreed every dish was lovely, and we especially enjoyed the rhubarb dessert! This place is a must visit if you’re down in Port Isaac!

A brilliant evening! Welcoming, friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Well worth the trip from the Isle of Man.We will be visiting again!

A set fish menu where every dish is well thought out and bring you lovely flavour combinations. We also thought the recommended wine was a very match..Couple that with an intimate setting, friendly and faultless service = Excellent food experience.

Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen - 2nd visit and enjoyed another wonderful evening with amazing food, cocktails, wine and service. Picture perfect plates of food that excite the palate. This is a great place for lunch or dinner. If you are in Port Isaac go and check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

Nathan Outlaws Fish Kitchen is a bright oasis of life, in the ghost town, that Port Isaacs resembles out of season.Probably my 5th or 6th visit to this cute, compact little restaurant. I've never been disappointed, the food was absolutely exquisite, the service faultless and the atmosphere welcoming. Thank you to all the staff inside & outside of the kitchen ?

So glad we decided to visit this lovely little restaurant to celebrate a special birthday. I believe only offering Sunday lunch for a limited period with menu changing every week. Everything on the menu was explained to us plus the catch of the day specials. Every single dish was lovely, every single morsel was delicious. We decided not to have wine, just cider. And a shout out to the staff, all so pleasant.

We dined here this evening as part of the Winter Foodie Break offered by the Nathan Outlaw business. The wait staff were superb; friendly, polite, accommodating and perfectly balanced in terms of comment. The kitchen staff turned out eight superb courses, and for our tastes (very personal thing) we rated the Dover Sole tops, then the red mullet, the crispy hake and the smoked cod’s roe. We found the ‘pace’ of the dishes to be spot on, perfectly timed. We accepted the recommendation of the Soave Classico and had no regrets, a beautiful wine. For me, presenting the Dover Sole with garlic, squash and cheese, allowing each element to be tasted without any one of them overpowering the others is masterful. I rarely comment on the reviews of others but can’t help myself this time - too many fish courses at a Fish Kitchen? Complete bonkers. And leaving hungry after this tasting menu? Nonsense, a complete fabrication. I’d highly recommend this outstanding restaurant.
We loved everything about Outlaw’s, it was exceptional. Every dish was delicious and the service was great too. It’s in the prettiest little cottage, which just adds to the incredible charm of the place.

We had dinner here as a belated celebration. Improvement on New Road as not so many courses, be both love fish but there comes a point when enough is enough. A couple of the courses were unusual, the cuttlefish curry is not something I would order, and never will again. My husband was greatly looking forward to the tuna, unfortunately here it was so overcooked it tasted like a burger. The side order of cabbage was delicious, possibly as I was craving vegetables after two nights of nothing but fish. Like New Road we wouldn’t eat here again

Booked for our anniversary meal on a Monday out of season and restaurant was full. Warm welcome and choice of table. Great service throughout. We definitely had favourite courses - the Pickled Mackerel was absolutely outstanding, as was the brill on the bone with grilled cabbage (who knew that despite a perfectly cooked fish, the cabbage could be the star of the show?!). Dessert was full size and the flavours were incredible. Only course we were a little unsure on was the breaded lemon sole - just felt a little out of place when accompanying all of the other delicate fish courses but this may have just been us. The cocktail at £17 may have been a little expensive, also, but ultimately up to personal discretion on whether you order or not! We especially appreciated the nod to locality and sustainability within the menu, and the donation to the RNLI (you can see the slipway of the beach from where we were sat!) on the bill was a nice touch. Would go again for a special occasion

The set menu is £88 and left us hungry. We had high hopes for the flavours but they didn't meet expectations - apart from dessert which was delicious. Most courses consisted of tiny amounts of raw fish (cured or pickled but still transparent with an unpleasant jelly-like texture ) with small amounts of wonderful sounding accompaniments which were actually quite bland; e.g. there was a mushroom sauce which didn't even taste of mushrooms. The meal wasn't balanced; the only carb was a few bits of brioche with blackened stripes from the griddle as the starter with cod roe (this was shared between 2): and the only real portions of veg in the whole meal were a thin wedge of undercooked drumhead cabbage with Cornish cheese crumbs (which only tasted of charcoal) and there were some thin slices of raw cauliflower with one dish (a very small portion for 2). Another dish was fish tails - bits of bone with the most miniscule amounts of fish on- I found them unpleasant and left them. The drinks were extortionately priced - £55 for a bottle of the recommended wine; £5.50 for one third of a pint of beer, and £17 for a small cocktail. The waiting on staff were professional and pleasant; and the service was excellent (you are limited to 2 hours at your table, but faultless prompt service enabled the meal to be completed in this time). The produce seemed high quality and fresh, and was beautifully presented, but even so it was mostly inedible to us. The restaurant was atmospheric but very cramped, and as everyone is seated at a set time (ours was 6 o'clock) this caused congestion in the door way at the start. The tiny toilet had no hand washing facilities and opened straight into the restaurant -close to a table; very unhygienic. Obviously from other reviews a lot of people like this kind of food but we didn't. Sorry... but we wouldn't recommend it. A £450 bill for 4 and to go home hungry is not great!

It would be hard to think of much to add to all the excellent reviews, but we too had a wonderful evening here. When we arrived I found we had got the time wrong, but the delightful young waitress did all she could to stop me beating myself up over this. Both waitresses were personable, kind and hardworking. And obviously the staff working in the kitchen were also top class. Out of the seven courses I think my favourite was the turbot; though the coconut pannacotta for dessert was fresh and lovely too. Great, accomplished cooking.
