Great food, view and service. Special shout out to Lola for brightening our evening. Expensive but recommended.

Lovely, tasty, Mediterranean food. The service is 100%, very efficient and all the staff were friendly and ultra polite. The food was served piping hot and was delicious, I recommend the salmon on the specials board. My friend enjoyed her steak which was cooked to her liking. It's a beautiful setting and has a nice ambience, like being on holiday. Highly recommend.

We came for a late lunch/early dinner and can't fault anything! We had a few different small dishes and it was all rather nice. What really made everything perfect was the young lad who took our order and served our food. He actually made the effort to engage in some conversation with us ?? also nothing seemed to be a problem for him.....which really does make the difference

Fantastic location- on a gorgeous day looking out onto the marina you could be anywhere in Europe Good menu options and my ‘pollo salad’ was delicious- my chum chose the pablos salad with goats cheese and again yummy - good service and lovely atmosphere

Went here for the first time after walking past over the years and wish we'd stopped in earlier.An excellent varied menu with some interesting options. The staff were friendly and attentive, the food was of excellent quality with very generous portions and the pricing very fair indeed. We will certainly be back.

I went with a friend and she ordered burger without a bun. They suggested extra salad for her. I ordered the cod. When food was delivered my fish was lukewarm. My friend’s dinner arrived with a bun. They took it back and it took a while to come back. When she cut into the burger it was still raw in the middle. She sent it back again and when it came back he chips were so hard and inedible. We spoke with the manager who said she spoke to the waitresses and they said we had said the food was fine! She offered to give us a free dessert. We were given the blackboard to choose from but after 40 mins we were still waiting to order. We called a waiter and asked for the bill. We then got the bill adjusted and went elsewhere for a dessert. It was not extremely busy and the staff congregated by the kitchen and were not being attentive. Will never return here. They don’t over good service and the food is very hit and miss.

We just turned up at midday & asked if there was a table for 4 of us, luckily there was, I’ve eaten here several times & wanted to take my friend who was visiting. We sat outside near the water, the surroundings are beautiful. 4 of us ate. When our food was bought out it was all piping hot & delicious I had the spaghetti carbonara, my daughter had penne salsicca my granddaughter had tagliatelle salmone & my friend had crema risotto. The portions are just right & everyone said how delicious it was. All the waiters & waitresses are constantly busy but all very happy & cheerful I would definitely recommend anyone to eat here, I can’t wait to return.

Staff were rude and inattentive. Waited over half an hour to give our food order. Were left to sit out in the rain (even though there was an umbrella next to us - they erected the one for the table next to us but just left us sitting there). When we eventually got fed up and moved inside we were told “no we’re fully booked” even though there were several tables free and we just wanted to finish our drinks before paying, so weren’t going to stay long. We asked if they could put the umbrella up then and they said “no”. What awful awful attitude of the staff!!! Food was nice… but we won’t be going back. Staff were clearly underpaid, poorly treated, or just hungover from the bank holiday, but if you choose to work in customer service, it’s KIND OF YOUR JOB to be polite and nice to people.

Fantastic Italian cuisine, very tasty pastas and pizzas. The staff could not do enough for you and are very friendly. They are children friendly too!

A busy, noisy restaurant on a Saturday night with a perfect view of the water. Wait staff were efficient and friendly. Full assortment of pizzas, pastas and other dishes. Our food was tasty and prepared quickly. Side salad had a good helping of protein. Sticky toffee pudding was good but not excellent. Overall food quality was good. This is a great place to come with a group of people but not if you want to have a quiet meal.

If you're after a filling lunch by the waterfront you can't go wrong with Pablo's.Staff were helpful and friendly and promptly showed us to our table.There is a separate section of the menu dedicated to vegan food consisting of pizza and pasta options. My wife and I went for the £11.95 pizza which includes 3 toppings of your choice.What they do is good and my pizza was tasty but personally I would like my peppers roasted for longer and my onions more caramelised. I also think the choice of toppings could be increased to include artichoke or meat alternatives.Highchairs are available and our son loved the pizza and fries. I'm sure he could have had a whole portion to himself.The drinks selection is impressive, even including an alcohol-free Heineken which did not feature on the menu. So if you can't see what you want it might be worthwhile asking.It was £33 before service for two pizzas, fries and 2 drinks. I feel this was good value, especially for the amount of olives I got, the view and speed of service.A return visit this summer is certainly on the cards!

Friendly & welcoming waiting staff. Plenty of seating inside & outside, with great views of the harbour.Very varied menu, lots of choices, good value for money & a large selection of Gin menu.I recommend the seared tuna salad.

Pablo's is one of our favourite places to eat in the harbour. Good selection of delicious food, great views from the terrace and lovely friendly and helpful staff.Would definitely recommend ?

So disappointed with the ‘service’ we received here on Saturday evening. Given that I’ve had a medical procedure whereby the majority of my stomach has been removed, I requested a Children’s menu from the waitress. Her curt response was, ‘I don’t see any children?’ I had to shout (it was very noisy) that I had a medical exemption card, and she replied, ‘no, you can have any meal starter size, you need to be under 12 for a child meal.’ No eatery has ever responded like this. When my ‘starter size’ pizza was served, it was, as I’d expected, far too big to finish. Food was ok, not homemade authentic Italian, though. Pablo’s, here’s a hint, if a customer tells you they have a medical exemption, and a card to prove it, accept it as such. Don’t assume the customer is trying to diddle you out of £3! (Kids menu pizza £5 ish, and starter size £8) We won’t be back.
