I went in the late evening on Christmas Eve.It was cozi and I had a pint with some friends : can't comment on the food. They kept background music low so we could chat. Friendly staff and beautiful views.

Very small portions, charged for extra veg and gravy. No mocktails. Got 1 sprout and the other cut in half, which I then had to chase round my plate. Mash small and hidden under turkey. Carrot and parsnips was miniscule. Staff were passive aggressive. Wish I had spent my money else where. Plus had to stop on way home for a sandwich.

Thank you to the chef and our server last Saturday for my brother's birthday lunch upstairs. I'd had never been before but it's my brother's favourite, they catered very well for our group of 19 including excellent GF options, every single guest was delighted ?. I will look forward to returning myself. Well done all and have a prosperous holiday season . Trish x

Good quality food and good portions. Staff were friendly and helpful. The surroundings were lovely too. Not a massive place so best to book.

I recently visited with my wife and parents for breakfast here as we live just down the road. First time I have been but won’t be the last! Food was really great - had the big fry and my mum had the French Toast with caramelised banana. So tasty! Service was brilliant as well! Thanks and certainly be back soon!

Great place for breakfast. Extensive menu and all nicely presented. We had reserved a table which was good because the place was quite busy.The pancakes and Eggs Benedict were fabulous.The service was great and friendly and the prices very competitive.We will definitely be back.
Had a lovely meal last night, food, service, value for money, and friendly helpful staff. I hadn’t been in a while but will definitely be back again soon.

Visited here on a very busy Friday evening. We had booked our table in advance and glad we did as I doubt we would’ve been accommodated without a booking. Staff were extremely pleasant, happy, friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was lively in the restaurant and the beer garden out the front was packed. Food was absolutely fantastic. I cannot fault one thing. We shared the goats cheese crumble starter which was beautiful and more than enough to share. Very fresh & tasty. We both had steaks, sirloin & ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection, they were so tender and the knife was barely needed. We had pepper sauce and blue cheese sauce alongside our steaks which were beautiful and creamy. Sides were chunky chips and Parmesan & truffle skinny fries. The wine list is fantastic, very good range of wines and the cocktails looked great. Views across the bay are second to none. We had a lovely evening here and would highly recommend popping in here for a drink or a bite to eat.

First visit in a long time. Very pleasantly surprised. Extensive lunchtime menu, very reasonable prices including wine. Food and service excellent, without going into detail, all four of us really enjoyed our lunch, plentiful and good quality. Will be back.

Called in for food on spec last Friday at 6.15pm, saw a free table in the front lounge but before we could sit down we were approached by a waitress who asked if we were eating or just having a drink. I replied that we would ideally like to do both. She informed me that the table was reserved from 7pm so we could only have drink there but not get fed. She stated that they were serving food in the back bar or we could try and find a table outside. I asked what the situation was in the back bar and was told it was busy. I asked for some advice as to what would be the best thing to do and at this the waitress reiterated the position, whilst turning her back and walking away again stating we could try and find somewhere to eat outside but we couldn't eat at the table we were standing beside. So we left without food or a drink. I emailed the establishment to complain. I described the waitress and her manner in the belief that she might be given some advice about customer service and we might get an apology, but bizarrely the respondent had a go at me and didn't have the common courtesy to sign their reply. Would it have been too difficult to get us a drink and look out for a table for two? Yes according to the Esplanade, their staff were far too busy. Never again.
