Restaurant Reviews in St. Ives

we ate here this evening this is the best Italian food I have had for a long time and certainly the best in cornwall. The staff were efficient and very very pleasant the food was wonderful and the price was not too dear. Overall we shall be returning over the summer.

Visited for dinner on our last eve at St Ives Holiday village 13th May 2012. Booked table in bar earlier that day which was all reserved and staff very welcoming. price was extremely reasonable and food gorgeous. definately worth a visit . 10/10

We searched the internet whilst on our holiday for a nice country restaurant & came across the watermill inn. As soon as we entered the car park we felt the warmth & atmosphere we were greeted so warmly we didn't feel like outcasts & was accomadated very well indeed we had our son with us & even when we asked for smaller portions for him they done this with no fuss or problem the food was lovely worth every penny we all had starters, main & 2 of us had desserts & drinks it was fairly priced we were very happy indeed & if we visit cornwall again or know anyone that is visiting we will definatly recommend the watermill inn.
if there was any faults the only fault I would say was that as the weather warms up & you are eating upstairs the heating needs to be turned down a bit as it gets very very warm other than that sublime!! thank you so much for topping our holiday with a lovely meal!

brilliant food carvery a good deal,puddings scrumptious would happily recomend the lemon cheesecake with double cream of course

We enjoyed some innovative and interesting flavours with alexanders soup & an oyster rissole, but the portions were meagre in relation to the prices, luckily our friends saw the funny side and we made a joke of looking for the promised elements of each dish. The passionfuit mousse was lovely but on our second visit inside a week we were advised that it was not suitable for vegetarians, having already ordered and eaten it once. I was disappointed by the acidic white wine; not good value as I didn't finish my glass - a first I think. Fine selection of rum though. Real ale was very average.

What a wonderful find, great food, great setting and friendly staff. The gardens are beautiful complete with its own stream, big hit with the kids

We stayed at Smeatons View, St.Ives during the February 2012 half term break... what can I say? An absolutely stunning cottage/ apartment located centrally in the busy Fire Street area and within 2 mins walk to the harbour. The quality and standard of the accomodation was second to none, with every concievable gadget or device - like being home from home. The whole family now have post holiday blues.... thanks for a truely wonderful experience.

Not our first visit. Warm welcome and warm fire which is very welcome in November. Food excellent and plentiful as usual. Deserts to die for (had to take mine home though, eyes too big for tummy) Had some meat left over so asked for a doggy back (takeaway container) and not only got our leftovers but some additional slices in the box - our dog was very very happy and a big woof to Mike and Yvonne and their Son. We visit every time we visit Cornwall but there are as many locals as tourists which I always think is a sign of a good resturant.

Cavery and evening menu meals here quite "made" our family holiday! We all eat different things, are used to eating in expensive restaurants, and are really pretty fussy,yet we all came away incredibly happy every time we visited!We also had a wheelchair, we also were made to feel exceptionally welcome. Go there! It's great!

Visited on Sunday 23rd. with a family group of 6 adults and 1 infant (8 months old).

Used to be a regular diner but had not been for over a year. Now under new management and was most impressed with changes to decor and seating arrangements.

The carvery food quality was excellent, reasonably priced and customer service was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely return - a terrific place for a family party!

Well done and tahnk you.

One of the warmest welcomes we have ever received in a restaurant. On holiday with our son and daughter in law with their (very) new baby. We were welcomed into the cosiest part of the bar, and helped to bring in the pram. The menu was great, several classics, but also a special section that allowed you to 'build' your own meal from a selection of ingredients. Everything was freshly cooked, not a frozen chip in sight (the chips were really good!)and the desserts were delicious, again all home made, and different to the usual run of the mill fare. We went back twice and look forward to visiting again when we return to Cornwall. Go and see Mike and Yvonne - you won't be sorry you did !

This place is very good, great service...friendly and with a smile. Staff are very helpful too. Set in an old school house with great features, not far from St Ives. Food is very good, tasty and well prepared. I've eaten in many country pubs and resturants and this has to be in my top 10 list! Well worth a visit!!

On the 21st Sept 11, we found this lovely family restaurant to be friendly, comfortable and interesting, as it used to be an old school house with many original features and memorabilia. The service by the owners was warm and very obliging. The menu was good and the food was of excellent quality at a fair price.

Fabulous, fast food the way it should be, all prepared using local Cornish produce. Very good choice of vegatarian burgers, I wanted to try them all so will have to visit again soon. I have wanted to visit here for ages but would always time it wrong as you can't book and it has always been busy or just about to close. Definately worth the trip to St Ives for!

We ate here last year and made sure we booked again for this year. A very warm welcome in a beautiful building. The service was second to none and the food was fantastic, crab starter and prawns for main which there were loads all i can say is booking again for next year and well done for the customer service.

What a beautiful place the lady who owns it made our evening so wonderful we had a lovely meal then a tour of all the rooms we sat by the log fire & being in the wheel chair made no differance she then saw us back to our car & to top it all the food was great came out on time was hot & it was delicious give this pub top star

What a welcome we received on arrival, my wife is in a wheelchair and we were helped greatly.
The atmosphere was fantastic (even though we visited first week in September) and there were not many in. The menu is comprehensive and takes into account all tastes.
The meal we orderd was freshly prepaierd and was delightful. I would have no reservations in recomending this fine eatery thank you.

Hosts Mike & Yvonne are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble, food was excellent & freshly made. A nice touch is that you tailor make your own menu by choosing from the options offered including meat/fish/veggie. We will definately eat there when we go back to Cornwall.

The welcome Mike and Yvonne extend is warm and friendly. The food at this restaurant was wonderful, perfectly cooked and locally sourced. The puddings were simply out of this world. Eating here made our holiday simply perfect. Thank you. Cant wait till next year.

Sensational food, delightful service and charming decor make St Andrews Street an absolute must for any visitor to St Ives. The food is utterly scrumptious and the menu varied. A real treat and we can't wait to go back next week! Thank you!

Excellent restaurant, very pretty outside and very quirky decor. The tuna dish was superb as was the monkfish and the accompanying potato. Staff excellent and very obliging, they were willing to provide a plain meal for a child. Well worth a visit.

Excellent food at reasonable prices, in a relaxed family atmosphere. Landlord is helpful and welcoming. Service is excellent. Defintely worth a visit, especially if you are a family eating out

The Tyringham Arms presents itself as a pub/ restaurant to be highly recommended to all. The pub is an appropriate choice for both couples and family. The restaurant offers a good choice of menu using fresh local produce at affordable prices accompanied by friendly accommodating staff serving the food.

The hospitality and welcome were superb, and the carvery was outstanding. Not a huge selection of veg but everything was freshly prepared and cooked to perfection, Compliments to the chef! Would most definitely recommend.Thanks Mike, Yvvone and team, see you next time we are visiting the area.

Fantastic. If you only eat out once in St Ives, make it here. Great food, service and atmosphere. Simply fantastic evening.

We stayed in Bills Loft in St Ives through The Cottage Boutique in March 2011 and we cannot praise it highly enough. From the start of the booking right through to our arrival Claire and her team were wonderful. The property was amazing and had everything you could possibly want in a holiday home. A wonderful stay in St Ives helped by amazing weather and a property we just didn't want to leave. Can highly recommend and have already booked another cottage for 2012 with the Cottage Boutique.

Shopping around for somewhere to eat, came across the Tyringham Arms. We are a family of 4, and were made more than welcome with friendly and efficient service. We were too late for the carvery, but the steaks we had were cooked just right and the children loved their food. The desserts were mouthwateringly good. Basically, good food, warm and friendly welcome, good service, I would not hesitate in recommending this for a family or couple, excellent.

we absolutely love this place. We have just spent two weeks in st ives and ate here twice, each time our meals were cooked to perfection and presented really well. The puddings are to die for. Whenever we are in st ives this restaurant is always our first choice. The staff are also really friendly and look happy in their work.

Had an absolutely delightful evening. Food was delicious, cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. It arrived in a timely manner, without being too quick or too slow - just perfect. Staff were very courteous, polite and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The restaurant had a lovely calm ambience despite being busy. We were left to enjoy the rest of our wine instead of being rushed out the door after our meal for our table. Something for everyone on the menu. Definitely recommend and will be most certainly visiting again.

we have just had a meal at the tyringam with our two children.We recieved a wonderful friendly service followed by perfectly cooked, fresh food in a lovely setting! We are local and will definately be returning frequently!!

I highly recommend the Tyringham Arms. My husband and I had the Carvery where there was a wide choice of very tasty vegetable dishes, (lot more choice than other carverys we have had elsewhere), nice crispy potatoes and boiled potatoes and choice of meats and all cooked to perfection. Fantastic homemade desserts, plenty to choose from, even though I was full I had to have one (they have a good offer if you have carvery and dessert). The service was excellent in a lovelly light and open roomy restaurant. The Tyringham is an easy place to find and will we going there again soon.

Warm welcome, fantastic food. Great location and excellent value for money. Highly recommended and we will definately be going back.

what a fantastic place food was great portion size fantastic michael and yvonne were great [see you next year]

What a fantastic place to eat. Great choice of fresh, home-made meals at a reasonable price. Mike and Yvonne were really friendly and helpful. My only regret is that we only found this place on the last day of our holiday!

Great restaurant, good choice of options, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. One of Cornwall’s hidden gems. Defiantly Worth a visit!

We had the best meal of our whole two weeks here, and a comfortable stay too, with our dog. Breakfast was also outstanding, but it is the dinner we shall remember for a long time. We shall return, hopefully.

Hosts Mike & Yvonne are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble, food was very good and freshly made. A nice touch is that you tailor make your own menu by choosing from the options offered including meat/fish/veggie, and I eat gluten free and they sorted that for me too! We will definately eat there when we go back to Cornwall from Stockport again.

excellant food all fresh no frozen,a warm welcome from all,great steaks,chips out of this world,would not hessitate to go ther again

Ate at the restaurant last sunday 25/6/2011 did not book and it was full but were offered a table in the bar, it was perfectly acceptable and having 4 young children with us was more informal. The meal we choose was the carvery which was very good , large selection of vegetables so that everyone was happy and the desserts were huge and gorgeous but so much to eat we had to take them home. Would happily eat there again next time we are in Cornwall.

The best vegetarian meal I have ever had I would go there every night if I lived in St Ives :) The meals were beautifully presented and the taste wow ! You were very well looked after by the friendly staff , a lovely atmosphere.

Excellent Food, Atomsphere, Hospitality and Sense of Humour. We would without doubt visit this restaurant again when in Cornwall.

i think the food was delicious, good portion size and we were made to feel very welcome excellent service all round.

I am staying with cousins who live in St Ives. I have just taken them out for a "thank you" meal. We were all delighted with the experience. The restaurant was pleasing to the eye and the food delicious. It was beautifully presented and the portions generous. Plenty of choice for all tastes. In fact a rapid return visit is necessary to try some of the dishes we did not eat tonight!

we found this very nice restaurant near the camp site we were staying at. we were greeted by very friendly staff who made us feel welcome. the food was out of this world. most of it is home made and very very delicious. our kids loved the food which is something in itself , a chance to drag them away from the usual mcdonalds, pizza or my wife's cooking ( she'll kill me for saying that). highly recommend the steaks which come with chips and salad and sauces are extra. i had the chocolate pudding with ice cream which is made on site and was one of the best i have ever tasted. my wife who was on a diet had the strawberry pavlova which again is homemade and to die for.all in all a lovely place to have a meal with friendly staff, a great atmosphere and great food. i'm not one for doing these reviews, but i thought this place neede a mention!!!!!

Meeting Family staying at the St Ives Holiday Park, we quite by chance passed the Tyringham Arms and decided it looked convenient to use for our evening out.
Our initial impression was one of surprise at the unusual but ideal use of an old School as a very pleasant airy and roomy eating venue.
We were very warmly welcomed and it was immediately apparent that the Landlord & Land Lady wanted to make every effort for us to enjoy not just our meal but our whole evening.
Tables were clean, nicely laid out & there was so much room. The menu was excellent. A wide choice of steaks in type & sizes to meet all appetites. A good selection of typical pub food, and a novel 'make your own' meal from a choice of chicken or fish & meat I think, which you then individualise with choices of rice noodles or pasta, salad or veg and other accompaniments as sauce etc. Additionally there was a good childrens menu.
When the food arrived it was obvious this was all fresh produce that was beautifully prepared, my husband in particular appreciated 'real' chips & handmade onion rings with his superb steak. All our meals were delicious and with generous portion size. We left room for dessert because being 'eagle eyed' we had seen some amazing plates delivered to an adjoining table..we were not disappointed...all home made..so rare these days..they were as lovely to look at as they were to demolish. My Sticky toffee pudding was the best I have ever tasted and includes my own ( I have cooked professionally) and my husbands Rhubarb & custard meringue roulade was innovative and simply delicious.
Michael & Yvonne have not been here long but they deserve to do well..nothing was too much trouble..there is a pool table & dart board tucked away from the diners..just the ticket for occupying an energetic 8yr old...and I believe the gardens are extensive. Prices are very reasonable..and I'm told that their Sunday Carvery is a weekly sell out.

I absolutely love this restaurant! By far the best in St.Ives,the food is beautifully prepared and presented;the restaurant is immaculate and the staff are wonderful.

Have had a superb meal this evening. We were welcomed warmly by the friendly host (who has recently taken over), given a good table by the window (we ate very early with our 3 yr old and had our pick). Our drinks were served promptly & once we had ordered a lovely plate of fresh poppy seed bread with pesto dip was presented. My meal of salmon gravalax, followed by scallop risotto with preserved lemons, and my hubby's meal of fillet steak was superb. Excellent fresh local food with well crafted flavours by the new chef, they catered brilliantly for my dairy intolerance & made my little one also feel very welcome. I had a good wine & my hubby draught peroni. The quirky interior and top notch food is well worth a visit and now one of my favourite places to eat in St Ives - I look forward to our next visit.

Brilliant...Sunday lunch superb wine delicious and enjoyed the quiz evening..made our holiday great ...well done

Straight away I loved the crisp, fresh decor and the privacy of the room behind the main room where we could chat quietly.
The extensive menu included a set courses (2 or 3) for a special price which was a good deal.
We both had a fish course for our mains. My husband also had soup as a starter. Everything was fresh, beautifully seasoned and not over-fussy. My sole, in particular, was wonderful.
The pace was relaxed and the young waiters were intelligent and extremely polite.
Sadly, we were so full after mains that we could not try the desserts- next time!!!
This is our first ever visit to Cornwall, so we will definitely make The Wave our regular stop when we return.
excellent in every respect. Thank you!

We have visited the Mex on more than 30 occasions, both by ourselves and with parties of friends. We both love the feel of the place, the friendly staff and the piping hot tasty food. The one problem we always find is only choosing one main course, when we like nearly all of them! We usually start with the sharing platter which is a selection of some of the starters complete with three dips. The spicy meatballs on it are a real treat as are the ribs. The service at The Mex is first class and they always have a smile on their faces. Don't miss out, drop in for a meal if you are visiting beautiful St. Ives.

Attractive range of appetising dishes on offered - especially the seafood. Excellent cuisine and attentive service. Not cheap dining but very good value for a first-class dining experience. Thank you.

We ate here on Saturday night, 30th April. What a place. The food was lovely, the scenery was great, and a novelty to use buckets from the beach as wine coolers. It was nice to sit a watch the ocean. (Could have done without the large table letting their kids run riot.) Not the restaurants fault. Made a lasting impression. Will go again when in Cornwall.

Went here Good Friday, and we were not disappointed. The service was good, the food was tasty and the staff were friendly. we booked and good job too as when we arrived they were fully booked. Very pleasant experiance. Will go back

delicious fresh fish cooked to perfection. Splendid wines to complement the excellent menu. Wonderfully friendly, and helpful staff.... however busy & whatever month we have been....and we have eaten here dozens of times. A winner!
Don't miss it!

We discovered this restaurant in the 2011 Michelin Guide and it didn't disappoint. The food was absolutely superb and incredibly reasonably priced given the quality. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful and the views from the upstairs window tables well worth requesting when booking. Incidentally, the desserts are well worth having - I don't normally bother but I am glad that I did at the Alba.

Parking in St Ives is challenging though... it may be worth considering a taxi if possible.

Just spent a weekend and came across this restaurant, we eat there on saturday night and the food was that good and the wecolm we got, we just had to go back there on sunday for the carvery.

A group of us from work went to the Tyringham Arms for a meal last night, and we had a wonderful time. The new owners Mike and Yvonne, made us very welcome and the meals were huge and very reasonably priced.
We shall all be returning with our respective family and friends for furher meals and evenings in Mike and Yvonnes company, and will be making it a regular venue for our works gatherings.
A must if you want great food and a lovely atmosphere.

we went to the mermaid with friends and had the set christmas menu
the food and the service were very good and it was excellent value for money

we went to the loft for our christmas night out from work
the food was excellent
the service was really good
we had a lovely night out our only complaint was that it was a bit cold

My family visited your restaurant in August whilst on holiday,the service,atmosphere and food were brilliant so much so that we ate here once a week for the3 weeks that we were on holiday.
The food is really delicious and well worth the money,will definitely be back in 2 years time when we visit Cornwall again.`

Hobblers is a real gem, we were visiting the area for one night and came up trumps when we found this place. They have a large range of fresh local fish and meat, the staff are very knowledgable about their product and are happy to answer questions. The service was fantastic, the staff clearly enjoy working here, and why not as they are serving fantastic food. If you are in the area Hobblers is a must!

A great restaurant in a fantastic location. The food was excellent, the menu varied and original. The staff were very friendly and it had a warm, seaside atmosphere. The squid was divine and it was a wonderful place to celebrate our Cornish Holiday. I would highly recommend but book early as the best tables are snapped up quickly, according to our waiter they are booked months in advance.

Been to this Bistro a few times the service, atmophere and food was the best, so when we got married down here at the end of June we held our wedding breakfast here, and yet again they did us proud, Thank you so much xxxx

I love Mexican food. So I went there with my Family last month. We each had a different dish and everyone was spot on. The spare ribs were amongst the best I’ve eaten in the UK. And the prices were very good. You got large portions for your money. It has a nice cosy feel and I suspect family run as the staff really seemed to care.
The only fault was they do not sell Frozen Margaritas, A Tex Mex without Frozen Margaritas!. However the food was so good I would go back.

I had a very enjoyable evening at this restaurant on a recent trip to St Ives. Service and food were as outstanding as I remembered from a previous visit in 2009. Staff were warm and friendly, yet unobtrusive, and the ambience cosily relaxed. I had lamb - succulent, subtly flavoured and imaginatively presented. My partner had tagliatelle, and reported that it was bursting with flavour. Starters of scallops and goats cheese were excellent and the puddings memorable. The perfect end to our holiday. I strongly recommend Alfresco.

I have only been to St Ives twice and both times have eaten at Hobblers and it has been incredible. The Staff are welcoming and explain everything so well and the food is out of this world. Cant wait to return. Better still please come and open a restaurant in Milton Keynes.

This was our first trip to St Ives and I wanted to find the best restaurant I could to ask my Girlfriend to marry me. I couldn't have picked a better place than the Hobblers. It's a beautiful eatery right on the seafront that had some of the best food I've tasted in a long time. Extra special praise should go to the amazing staff who made our night extra special with the excellent service and warm welcome we received. We truely were blown away by this magical place and will be returning as soon as possible. I walked into the Hobblers with a Girlfriend but walked out with a fiancee and some amazing memories. Highly recommended.

We had a superb evening at Hobblers - very friendly service in a cosy environment. Great food too!

We had friends visiting the first week in august and with five young children between us wondered where was best to eat. We made absolutely the right choice in The Loft, the food was fabulous (including a thoughtful child menu!) and the staff couldn't do enough. My 3 year old loved the mussels so much she still talks about them! Really lovely experience thanks x

Hello my husband and i vistited your restaurant on wednesday 28th july and may i just say that the meal was just perfect,the waitress's were very friendly,we found the whole night totally enjoyable and we will recommend 100% to our friends,we have now been here twice and on both occasions the evening has been PERFECT.
Thank you for a really great eveing and we will see you next year.:]

The Loft is a little gem in St Ives, devine food, wonderful atmosphere and very friendly staff even for four legged friends! We first walked in after seeing their chalk board outside saying that dogs were welcome on The Terrace, a perfect find if you want to eat fresh local quality produce and not leave your pet dog home alone. Bella assured me that her fresh water was first class! We first went for lunch and can't rave enough about the crayfish sandwiches, sooo good! We went for dinner another night and tried some Cornish fizz, it was excellent, albeit a little explosive to start with! Would recommend this place to everyone, the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Happy first birthday, here's to many more. Son, Daz and Bella the Beagle

Fantastic location, fantastic food, open all year and very friendly staff who are very helpful. We have been using On Shore on a regular basis for 6 years or more and one of their best Pizzas is the Duck Pizza with an oriental flavour. Last Saturday, there must have been a different chef working as the Duck Pizza arrived tasting of tomato rather than Hoisin sauce which completely changed the taste. The staff kindly produced another which was the same and then a third which was back to normal, so a big thanks as my trip to St ives would not have been complete without the experience. Thanks to the staff, once again.

I took my fiancée for a special holiday meal, boy was it special. The best meal I’ve ever eaten. The staff were extremely friendly and the food truly amazing. I would recommend it to anyone. A big thanks to the staff & the exceptional chef’s for a great evening.

Had dinner on the terrace at the Loft on a gorgeous sunny evening, the food was amazing along with the service and staff, can't fault this restaurant and will definitely make it a regular haunt in future. Can't wait to go back!

had breakfast one sunday......WOW its got to be the best PAID brekkie i've ever had. lovely people,great service and fab food.

Had lunch with some Chinese friends from GuangDong Province, with whom I work in China. They had never eat at such a restaurant with such beautiful views and setting, and tried virtually every local type of food and several local drinks, including Cider and Camel Valley wine. The next time I went to China my friends had sent their revue of the resaurant to the whole GuangDer Corporation !!!! What a fabulous accolade! It is our favourite place to eat, and now is known throughout China !!!!

Absolutely gorgeous food, had the carvery and would recommend, meat cooked to perfection and good value for money

What a find! Gorgeous building and interior, delicious menu, and lovely staff. As an Aussie having lived in London for a little while, this was one of the best food evenings I've had in a long time!

Went out for a walk with mywife one evening on holiday and came across this fantastic restuarant. After being greeted with a smiling happy very polite young lady, we were shown to our quiet table. The menu was very appealing and the quality of food served is first class. Very fresh and very well presented. So much so that we went back again a couple more times for breakie and lunch!. We both really hope that you try rhubarbs, and we hope that it continues to be a huge success, because IT DESERVES TO BE, its FANTASTIC,, Thanks from kenny and sandra

The restaurant has a warm and friendly atmosphere with excellent cuisine freshly cooked to order.

Fantastic good value home cooked food every time. Try the two course filet steak meal for two with a bottle of wine for just over £26 it is great value food.

WOW.fantastic carvery, main menu and desserts.All beuitifuly cooked and served piping hot.The service was very good and reasonably priced. I strongly recommend a visit to this establishment.

Being a midlander i don't get much chance to eat a lot of fresh fish,so whilst looking around st ives me,my wife and two year old son came across the beach restaurant.Everything from the friendly welcome,excellent fresh food and quality service was 5 star. The owners/managers must be very proud of this esablishment and staff who were also very welcoming toward my son.

This cafe is wonderful. It is a rare occasion when the location, food, wines, service and atmosphere combine to make a memorable eating experience. The food is excellent, innovative, interesting. It's true to its setting; it has Cornish ingredients, beach friendly vibe and relaxed yet contemporary feel and menu.
A visit complements a day spent on Porthmeor beach or a visit to the Tate. The quality and innovativeness of the food matches the view. The cafe is locally and family run and this resonant through the experience. Each detail has been well thought through and this all adds to a wonderful experience.
The cafes real success is in its wide appeal for all. I have enjoy a drink at sunset on the terrace overlooking the Atlantic sea; a coffee part way through a coastal walk; a fun family meal; and grabbed a smoothie for breakfast on the way into the surf!
The sun, sea, sand, food, wine and service – all make for a fantastic experience.

This is the first time I have been to St Ives and we were just staying for one night. The restaurant was fully booked but we were able to get a table later in the evening. My partner and myself had a mackeral pate starter and pizza for the main meal. There was a delay on the starter being served but the waitress gave us complimentary glasses of wine and the restaurant was very busy. We both thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the customer service was excellent.

Good Food, Service and Value
for Money, will come again.

Two meals out in one week.
Thorougly recomend the Mussels.
Great Service, Friendly Staff.

Great meal, enjoyed the carvery with friendly staff and wicked desserts

Yummy comfort food served in a unique and friendly setting. fantastic!

we both love our food and we love this restaurant,we travel from worcs to st ives at least once a year sometimes twice,for a short break holiday.the main reason we do this is because of this wounderfull restaurant.if your visiting st ives this place is a must. we have been for around seven years.

Perfect. Meal and service cannot be beaten and situation suberb.The best vegetarian meal ever enjoyed. My partner who non veggie enjoyed the what he would describe the best.Would recommend this restaurant to everyone visiting St Ives.

This is a very friendly, attentive restaurant with excellent food and good wine! It is small and cosy and although they were busy they gave us plenty of time between courses.

A party of 9 adults and 3 young children had lunch on New Year's day at this superbly positioned reataurant. We were greeted by the very friendly staff who wished us all a very Happy New Year. All the staff were anxious to make sure that we had a great time. There was no waiting as our orders were taken quickly. Particular attention was given to the children. Our meals came promptly and were all of a very high standard.We were all able to eat our starters and main courses in a leisurely manner without pressure to move out for anyone else.We would all recommend this restaurant to anyone both for the quality of service and the superb food. Families who are looking to eat out in St.Ives need look no further than this restaurant.

We are regular visitor to St Ives and are always looking for good places to eat rather than what can be the norm i.e. typical mediocre 'tourist food' delivered with indifferent service by seasonal staff.
We have found what we have been looking for at The Loft.
We ate at the loft on a wet Saturday evening at the end of October so a quite time, the look of the place had set our expectations high as the appearance leads you to believe this place knows it's business.
We were not dissapointed, from the moment we walked in we were looked after to the best standard and served food of the highest quality by staff that had real 'interest' in the job at hand.
The meal we had with friends that night was one of the best I have had in St Ives.

Well done to all at The Loft, keep up the good work, we will eat with you again.

Visited the Badger on Sunday for lunch.Probably the best value Carvery in the district. Plus deserts to die for.

Stumbled on Hobblers by chance but came away well fed and impressed. Tasty, well presented food cooked as we wished and served by a pleasent and efficient waitress. Excellent in all aspects, we will definitely return. Highly recommended.

Superb. Some of the best cooking I've tasted in years, plus a friendly atmosphere and great service. The highlight of our stay in St ives

Exellent food, romantic, relaxing atmosphere. We go back every year. Would definitely recommend the fillet steak tornado Rossini :)

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was heavenly. I had the Terras farm duck breast which was cooked to perfection, my partner ate stuffed lamb breast best he'd ever had! Followed it off with a whisky from the extensive range of malts.Yum!

This restaurant has to be the best that I visited in St Ives. A window table on the first floor had lovely views over the harbour. The service was friendly and the menu was full of local fresh fish and seafood. I had squid with Chilli and my partner had mussels. Beautifully presented and well cooked. For main monkfish in parma ham and sea bass. Again both dishes were perfectly cooked and well presented. Would definately recommend this restaurant for price, food and location as well as friendly staff.

We chose The Loft as the venue for our wedding reception and we couldn't have asked for a better evening. Tony & Louise have worked very hard to create a fantastic restaurant where it's hard to choose which is better: the views or the food.

Prior to the event Louise showed that nothing was too much trouble, our numbers changed a couple of times as did our requirements and all of this was dealt with immaculately and the attention to detail we had on the night was second to none. At times where I popped in to ask some questions you could see, in dealing with parties of 2 or 3 that the same level of care and helpfulness was given.

Tony created a special menu for us and this allowed him to show his skills to the full. I can honestly say i've not tasted food so good for a long time. My main of sole fillets stuffed with crayfish tails was fantastic: the combination of flavours was a taste sensation.

The restaurant, while not on the seafront, is in an excellent location being a very short walk from both the harbour (go through the sloop craft market) and porthmeor beach. It's also just a couple of minutes away from the Tate. The terrace offers fantastic views across the bay.

I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough.

In order to 'review' Hobblers, I almost had to dig out the trusty old thesaurus, because there's only so many times you can use the word 'Brilliant'..and that's really what it was.

I must admit to the fact that when first walking towards the restaurant (situated in a beautiful part of the St Ives waterfront), I was a bit hesitant, simply due to the fact that I'm not a fan of seafood at all..but seeing the menu contained a healthy supply of non fish based dishes I was happy to give it a try. As it turned out the meal was so darn good I had to go back again a few nights later just to check it wasn't chance!

I've always found that cooking a fillet steak is a bit of an art form, especially when ordered rare, well if that's the case than the chef's creative talents are far in excess of Mozart and Picasso! Melt in the mouth steak both nights (fillet steak on night one, and a perfect 'tournedo rossini' the second), with just the right amount of side veg..
I'm also pleased to state that my partner enjoyed her meal as much, stating that it was the best seafood she had ever had (and unlike me, she's a big fan!), it is obvious Hobblers sources the best local catch, and again benefits from the illustrious skills of the chef.

Also of note is the fact that throughout the meal, and afterwards, we never felt rushed to leave to make room for others, and the waitress, together with the 'hostess' really do take the time to make you feel welcome in their 'home' and from the moment you walk in, they make you really feel that you're their number one concern.

I really can't recommend Hobblers enough, the restaurant itself has a warm and comfortable feel, the service is fantastic, and, perhaps most importantly the food is simply sublime, I greatly look forward to my next visit when I return next year (and believe me, even with the 4 hour drive I'm half tempted to make a special trip before that!)

Well done all at Hobblers, and thank you so much for two fantastic meals

Perfect food, cosy surroundings and friendly efficient staff who appear to remember us each time we stay in St. Ives

Initialy we tried the early evening special which was excellent value with no compromise on quality. We returned later in the week to sample the full menu. Lovely interesting surrounding and excellent service.

If you like comfortable cosy surroundings with excellent food and good service Hobblers is an excellent restaurant. Plenty of variety to suite all tastes.

Visited the Lifeboat Inn for lunch when seeing the sights in St Ives. Attracted by the wide variety on the menu, especially childrens choices as I had my one year old with us. Great to see childrens options without chips! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone with children, the staff were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble, even though nearly every table was taken. The staff definitely left a lasting impression, and made our visit to St Ives all the more enjoyable!

We had a family meal here during our holiday in August. Friendly, helpful staff. Even though it was a busy evening, the food came quickly and was beautifully presented, even my fussy son enjoyed his meal. My daughter and I indulged ourselves with one of the delicious desserts and my husband enjoyed the real ales on offer! Definitely recommended for a visit if you are in the area.

Brilliant restaurant ambience is superb and the food is out of this world. Prices are good too, nothing too expensive. Everything was first-class

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The food is full of flavour and is healthy and wholesome. I have eaten here several times and each time have thoroughly enjoyed myself. Not only is the food fantastic but the setting and staff are friendly and relaxed- the perfect combination for a good night out.

What a treat! On holiday in Cornwall travelling in our camper van with our 7 year old son, we decided we needed a scrummy treat so we booked (booking is a must)in to Hobblers in St Ives for dinner. It was just perfect, for any of you who have young children you know a dinner at such a restaurant could go either way but we were in luck. There is no childrens menu but the Moules were to die for and our son ate his fill. The staff were attentive but not stuffy and dress was casual but smart. The restaurant itself is one of those higgledy piggledy affairs with low beams and twinkly lighting and an easy relaxed atmospheare. The food was wonderful, a good selection on the menu and specials board. All in all a scrumptious feast. Will definately be visiting again. Thanks to all at Hobblers, a holiday high for us.

Amazing food, good service, very good waitress who was very helpful as i have food intolerances. Definately recommend the creamy pepper chicken

Whenever we find ourselves in a new place, we make sure to ask our taxi driver to recommend somewhere to eat. In St. Ives, we wanted to see if there was anywhere beyond the obvious fish and chip restaurants in the harbour. Without hesitation, our cabbie recommended The Loft and we weren't disappointed.

I'm not a big seafood eater so didn't really know what to order from the menu that would suit my fish palatte that up until now only knew cod, haddock and tuna. There were non fish and vegetarian options but as we are by the sea, it had to be done! I explained this to the waitress and she was very helpful in recommending dishes that wouldn't freak me out by having shells and heads still attached!

For starters I had a lovely warm, whole, cornish goats cheese with roasted vegetables and honey glaze while the partner had roasted red pepper and butternut squash soup. Both were excellent. The goats cheese was so creamy and really worked well with the vegetables. The soup was nice and peppery and quite a parge portion for a starter.

For mains, we did not opt for the day's special which was turbut served on a bed of muscles, instead, I took the waitresses recommendation of herb crusted halibut with dauphinois potatoes. THe fish was meaty, firm, perfectly cooked and not over-powered by the peppery crust. The partner had the whole lemon sole with chive butter and herby potatoes. Even though served whole (my partner is a big seafood fan), I did venture a taste and it was lovely. It had been skinned so it didn't panic me too much and the flesh came away so easily from the bone and worked wonders with the citrusy chive butter. We complimented the mains with a bowl of roasted vegetables.

We didn't have pudding, instead we finished of our very resonable priced and very drinkable bottle of French Sauvignon Blanc watching the young seagulls struggling to stay standing on the roof tops out side of the the window.

Would really recommend this restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgable about all the dishes on the menu and able to recommend dishes and wine without you feeling like a complete numpty! Great place.

Absolutely Fab!
Ate here at 8pm on a Thursday night - there was a very friendly atmosphere. Alot of vegi restaurants feel as though you are in a daytime cafe but going here feels like a treat.
The food itself is top-notch and very nicely presented - clean, vibrant flavours, no stodge. The menu changes but Oli had a stilton, beetroot and walnut salad to start which combined together very well. My favourite course was again a starter - pea and chilli soup with homemade bread - delicious, a kick form the chilli but not overpowering. The bread was warm, doughy, and was lovely dipped in the soup.
The desserts are good (we had lovely toasty scotch pancakes) although a bit lacking in 'comfy' choices - it would have been nice to see a crumble or pie on the menu.
Its BYO which means that the bill is not too much either - for 3 courses it wont be over £20 a head.
Staff are attentive and it is most definately worth a visit, vegi or not (Oli loves meat but loves it here too!) .
Bon Appetit!!

We have been visiting St Ives, several times a year for at least the past 10 years. Every time we visit we eat at Peppers at least twice during a week. Their food is consistently of a high standard and the service is excellent. Their prices are astounding and ensure that they are an all round year venue for locals as well as the lucky visitors who come across this great restaurant. Whenever I visit I always, to the amusement of my family, always opt for the Mediterrenean Vegetable, Goat Cheese Pizza with Basil Oil. It is to die for, so my view is why try to improve of perfection. Looking forward ro my next visit in just over one week and at least two visits in September.

Excellent food, worth the price. Friendly staff and good service. Lovely spot off the beaten track, away from most of the other tourists!

What a wonderful restaurant. The food, service and atmosphere was excellent. We would highly recommend this to others. Real Italian food that was simply delicious!!!

My wife and I went to the Loft on a rainy Saturday evening in July (aka the summer) and have to say that the meal we had was one of the best we've had in St Ives over a very long time. The staff were attentive without being overly so and the food was excellent. We had scallops on black pudding and ham hock terrine followed by a fish mariniere and the fillet steak Dianne all of which was of the best quality and cooked to perfection. The only down side was that the portions were so substantial that we couldn't manage a dessert! Certainly this has become the preferred restaurant in St Ives for us.

Fantastially fresh seafood restaurant with a well balanced menu, served in a cosy atmosphere. The mussels and sardines starters were superb. The Coquillles Saint Jacques and Monkfish Medalions as main courses were the perfect follow on - All dishes were beautifully cooked with exquisite flavours and a presented in an un-fussy, yet temptingly appetising manner.
The waitress was delightful with a perfect mix of professionalism, knowledge and humerous nature.
10/10!

Had dinner for 2 here at a busy time so we were extremely lucky to get a table just by popping in. The food was excellent, the staff welcoming and friendly. Although the restaurant is very small we were comfortable and definately rated this as the best food we had in our one-week stay in Cornwall, where we visited many different places! Highly recommended, thank you!

Living in St.Ives I am surrounded by great restaurants and trendy bars. However I have not enjoyed a meal this much for a long time!
Being a vegetarian I normally have to make do with bland pasta dish or a mushroom stroganoff, if I’m lucky! So it was fantastic to have the opportunity to choose from a well thought-out and delicious menu that not only adequately catered for myself but also for my vegan and meat-eating friends.

The atmosphere was buzzing yet casual and perfect for a catch up with the girls or a romantic night out with your better half!
I regularly eat out at The Bean inn, without giving a second thought about who I’m taking with me because inevitably they love it as much as I do. The staff made me feel welcome and instantly I relaxed into the nature of the ambiance.
I love it! It’s my first choice every time and my friends will agree.

I have had several meals at the Mex and can highly recommend the food . Service was excellent, but the real highlight was the authentic tasting Mexican dishes. I have visited Mexican restaurants the length and breadth of the country and this is in the top three.

It was the last evening of our holiday in St Ives, and although the weather outside was awful, the ambience inside this restaurant was a delight and helped make an evening to remember. What a good restaurant should have: excellent menu (it was a difficult choice especially off the special listing), good wine list, attentive and efficient service, busy, noisy and with a great view even though it was raining! I wish we had eaten here more often!

We were impressed by the friendly efficiency, good service, management and, above all, the menu at this busy restaurant when we were on a recent holiday in St Ives.

unspoilt,friendly & relaxed pub with an extensive local menu promptly served and at reasonable prices.looking forward to a revisit asap

Wow where to start on a review for Hobblers!!We found Hobblers about 3 years ago when on holiday in cornwall and fell in love with the food, we returned the following year bur were unable to get there last summer as we were staying to far away. Despite this once we knew about our holiday to St Ives and phoned to book a table at Hobblers Helen still rememberd us which after nearly 2 years is lovely and speaks volumes about the servive you will get when you are there. All the staff are very polite and friendly and that makes for a lovely atmosphere, its so cosy on there its very easy to get talking to your fellow diners!!
Now on to the food...... We stayed in St Ives for a week this year and ate at Hobblers every night( Apart from monday when it was closed!!) and every meal was amazing!! I tried alot of the menu from the Sole A al Mer to the Carpetbagger steak and i would recomend all of it.. The parmesan and garlic mash is to die for!!! If your visiting St Ives id say its a must that you go for atleast 1 meal at Hobblers, it will be the best money that you will ever spend on a meal, just make sure you book!!!We will without doubt be going back again next year and cant wait!

Had the carvery on 5/7/09, best we've ever had. Meats succulent! Friendly service and well organised. We'll be back next year!

Once again we enjoyed some wonderful meals at the Mermaid over the 17 days we were in St Ives, not only is the seafood wonderful but they know how to cook the perfect steak which comes exactly as ordered, as for me I like well done, in many places that usually means well done on the outside and very dry inside, however, at the Mermaid they get it right each time no blood yet moist inside. Some of the starters and deserts are also a delight.

We found this lovely restaurant at the end of our stay in St Ives and wish we had found it at the beginning. Food, service and atmosphere was first class.

What a hidden gem this is! The unimposing doorway in Fore Street leads downstairs to the cool, spacious and modern Restaurant. We visited last week and on the night one of the three front of house staff had called in sick. The remaining two staff worked their socks off and provided excellent service. Rarely have we been able to say that everything about a meal was perfect, but at Pizza Patio it was. It had been a very hot day and we wanted something light. The menu has plenty of more sophisticated alternatives, but I went for the Spaghetti Carbonara with Garlic Bread with cheese. It's a simple dish but very easy to get wrong. Our Carbonara was quite simply the best we have ever tasted. The Pizza were also light and full of flavour. We will certainly be going back soon.

An altogether wonderful evening. My husband said it was the most wonderful steak he had ever had in any other Restaurant including Queen Mary 2. We were reluctant to leave. We shall definately visit again.

What a lovely pub, very friendly staff, and the most wonderful food my partner and i had scallops (from falmouth) with pea shoots to start followed by boccadon veal shin(heavenly) and my partner had st ives rump steak best steak ever amazing, and to finish a gorgeous homemade treacle tart. this place was great. well worth every penny and a tip on top!!!!!

Just got back from a lovely week holiday in St Ives and we really enjoyed our lunch at The Beach Restaurant, the food was lovely, great service and we were lucky enough to get a table in the window so we could enjoy the nice view of the bay too! definately recommended!!

We eat in restaurants Switzerland, beautiful places in the Black Forest and Belgium. The Mermaid is equally as good as them all, the staff are very friendly, nothing too much trouble and the food delicious. Worth every penny. I would also say they we eat at the Helsetown Inn, just outside St Ives and there you can have an excellent Sunday lunch and lovely evening meals. A true locals pub and very friendly.

I strongly recommend the "Hobblers Seafood Restaurant". My wife and I went there last Sunday (24/05). Since English is not our first language, we didn't understand the manual very well. The lady in the restaurant was very patient, kindly explaining to us everything. After we made the order, we later found out that we had to catch the bus soon, so we cannot wait till the food that we ordered was ready. The lady was very kind to cancel the order for us immediately and helped us to order another one which needed less cooking time. We are so grateful for that. Moreover, the environment and the service are very warm there. It was really an enjoyable experience there! 

A great restaurant and very relexed and food was fantastic, so good to have a choice of vegetarian food and not your usual goats cheese choice, a very well thought out menu and use of local produce. The lady who served us was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Will eat there again and have recommeded the place to our friends.

100% incredible. We loved this place so much. Everything….the décor, the food, the service, the atmosphere, the staff, the music and the wine, were all so splendid. We were VERY impressed. I really am a very fussy eater which results in me being quite a tricky customer, and often becoming a little bit stressed in restaurants, but I am delighted to say that I REALLY enjoyed the evening at Hobblers from beginning to end. It was superb.

The food (fish dish, and steak) were divine. We could tell both were super fresh, and both were beautifully cooked to perfection. Honestly, this really was the best place we ate during our holiday down in Cornwall…..and we went all the way around the coast! Massive thumbs up. We will be going back on our next trip to St Ives, and recommend you check it out.

Hobblers Fans!

My friend and I passed this place last week and thought it very cute and appealing from the outside so went in. They were pretty fully booked but could squeeze us in downstairs. (They had to turn away several people while we were eating as they were full, so advance booking is pretty essential.) After eating there I could see precisely why they were fully booked on a Wednesday night in April out of season. What delicious food! A huge range of fresh, local seafood and fish with a great choice of steaks as well. The giant king prawns I ordered for starter were indeed giant and cooked to perfection. My choice of main was a special ‘the carpetbagger’ – a popular choice I was told and I can see why. A generous portion of fillet steak topped with a plentiful brandy (I think) sauce and mussels, cooked exactly as I had asked for it. My friend loved her lemon sole. The chef clearly knows what he’s doing here. The portion sizes were perfect – not too full but no room for dessert (almost a shame as they looked lovely too). They have an excellent selection of wines and an extensive menu, all served in a cosy, traditional seaside restaurant. And when the bill arrived we were actually quite shocked as to how reasonable it was – under £50 for two of us. The service was excellent and the lady who served us was friendly and very accommodating. I was so impressed I booked a table for our next visit there and then – and that is a first for me! Can’t wait to go back on Sunday! Highly recommended, I will find it hard to go anywhere else now whenever I’m in St Ives.

This quirky old style restaurant was a delight from the moment we walked in. Deep dark woods everywhere which give a great feel to the cosy seating arrangement. The food oozed passion from the chefs who obviously took great pride in thier work. The fish was of the highest order fresh and flavourful and the steak cooked to perfection. The house wine complemented the food well as did the service. The waitress had that fantastic knack off always being around with a friendly hello but never being in the way. And the host was delightful. The vast number of spainish and portaguise partons asking for the sardines is a true test of how good this restaurant must be. The bill a well deserved £100ish for 4. Bargain! Well done Hobblers

Our visit to The Badger Inn was most welcoming, the staff were very friendly and extremely professional, together with delicious food and a excellent selection of wines and beers this restaurant comes highly recommended. We had a lovley time.

Our 3rd year running to eat at Blas. Good vibe, good music & fantastic food!! As a coeliac( I can't eat wheat), this place is heaven! Majority of burgers are wheat free and the staff were only too happy to use my own gluten free bread. My son Rowan (10) loves this place too. We look forward to another visit next Easter.

This restaurant really cannot be faulted, and as a chef I am very critical.
The atmosphere is extremely relaxed, the food is of an excellent quality and the variety is good.
My wife and I recently stayed at Coast B&B, which is also extremely good, and decided one night to dine in the restaurant. We were very glad we did, and ended up dining there for three out of our five nights.
The food is very well priced, especially when compared to other locations around the St Ives area.
Paula and the team have created a great restaurant here, one which is definately worth a visit. I am just glad that it is 300 miles away otherwise the wife would want to dine there all the time.

Went there purely by accident, the restaurant we should have gone to over booked our table, so we came here, best mistake we made and have been going back year to year. Staff very friendly, food excellent, quality surroundings, and this year we taking friends with us for a small celebration!!!

The Bean Inn is a fantastic restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed and very welcoming. The food (vegetarian) is fabulous and the good value for money. My husband and I are regulars to this restaurant ever since it opened and love it so much!
It offers a "bring your own wine policy" which is great. Paula the "chef" is brilliant along with her "waiting staff!" If you have not been, we throughly recommend a visit!

We have a holiday let in Carbis Bay. every time we come down we always end up at La Casita. The quality is always good with lots of fresh fish options. The price is also right with sensible priced veg and lovely lovely puddings. The owners taste in wine is spot on and the service is friendly. You cannot beat a night out at La Casita.

we come to st ives every year and our holiday would not be complete without dining in this fine restaurant.

We last went to celebrate a friends Birthday. A group of eight of us, sat on one long table. Wonderful choice of dinners to cater for all palettes, not just hot and spicy. My favourite is a creamy chicken fahita. Various seafood,meat and vegetarian dishes to chose from. Also some irresistible specials. We also had wine and thoroughly enjoyed the jugs of Margarita! Starters and sweets were plentiful and all the food is to a high standard. The music and the subtle lighting really added to the atmosphere. Great for a romantic meal for two, as we've frequented The Mex previously. Can't wait to visit again. Thanks to the Mex

Having had the pleasure to dine at the Beach Restaurant both at lunch time and in the evening I can honestly say that it is a 5 star establishment!
Great food, friendly and accommodating staff and fabulous views of St Ives Harbour await visitors! I can hardly wait to return!

Extremely clean restaurant. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food was absolutely stunning, well cooked and presented. Will definately be revisting when next in Cornwall. 5*

Excellent unfussy food, attentive staff, and a very nice place to stay for a few days if you love walking.

We have eaten here a few times. Wonderful food in a relaxed and friendly environment. Lovely views too.

We stopped for a light lunch in October and had a wonderful crab sandwich and delicious home made carrot cake. It was the best lunch we'd had for a long time, well recommended with good service and friendly staff.

Amazing views, great food and unbelievable value. Really enjoyed our night with you last night, thanks to the team of girls that were working, oh and the boys in the kitchen too!

Three of us had the most fantastic lunch last week, the highlight of which was crab linquine with chilli, although the bitter chocolate brownie with chocolate mousse was superb. This is definitely a foodie's paradise, but with ample parking and lovely clifftop walks to finish. Can't wait to go back and try other items from the menu.

My partner and I ate here having seen this last year but arriving just after it had closed for the afternoon!
A great local pub with a varied menu, lots of choice, good pub food and generous portion sizes.
I chose a ploughmans with local cornish cheese and my partner had the steak and ale pie.
Both were freshly made, the pie homemade and the ploughmans with freshly baked bread.
A very busy pub, clean and friendly staff. Good service and polite.
Good for a lunchtime bite or evening meal depending on what you are looking for.
Very good value for money - only downside is the parking as limited and on quite a busy road.

I brought my family to Onshore last weekend and can say that it was a fantastic meal and night out in a quite sunny St Ives. The service was excellent, and the food even better. The tapas I can highly recommend and the seafood mains were a work of art- oh and all overlooking the harbour. A good time was had by all 4 of us

What an absolutley lovely meal, mackrel starter and the special of the day, Hake, was just delicious, my full compliments to the chef, service was excellent and the view out to the harbour rounded off a perfect meal to end my holiday.

We visited St Andrew Street Bistro to celebrate our twins 18th birthday and we certainly were not disapointed.
The menu had something for everyone without being too extensive, the surroundings offer great interest and you are made most welcome by the very friendly staff. But above all the quality of the food at St Andrews Street Bistro was simply excellent! This is a must for all who are dining out in St Ives. Congratulations to all involved.

This is the second year running that we have been to the Saltwater Cafe. The same high standards of service and cuisine were much in evidence. I particularly enjoy the little extras, such as the wonderful spice mix that come with the starter bread. The ingredients are superbly fresh and the menu is varied but sensibly short. The service is superb, with no questions asked about who is having which dish - she just knows! I was pleased to see a very varied age range amongst the clientele and everyone seemed happy. The food is beautifully cooked, so what more can you say?!

We've been down in Cornwall on holiday for just over a weeek and have eaten at Onshore 3 times now. Each visit has been a delight not only because of the amazing views over the harbour, but the service and the food are utterly exceptional. Daily specials are a real treat, it's 1 of the reasons we keep coming back.
Brilliant place, keep up the hard work!

We first came across the gem of a restaurant 3 years ago and at the time it was fantastic. On our most recent return trip it was with a certain amount of apprehension that we booked again. Was the food going to be as good? was the service going to be just as friendly? We found that there was nothing at all to worry about. to start we had the fresh scallops and the grilled trout (special) which were amazing, then we had the line caught cod and the lobster special with tiger prawns and scallops - there are no words to express how good this all was. To finish we had the cheese board (with port, as must) and the chocolate pot (with the Elysium Black Muscat Dessert Wine) which were amazing.

Overall this was quite possibly the best meal we've ever had and was even better than our first visit all those years ago. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone.

the beach is fabulous.
the service is great is the food is teriffic.
they are funny to kids when you are ordering and are very nice as friends.
food is great as a have a fussy brother that does not eat anything but when i want to the beach restaurant it made him feel so hungry he didn't know what to eat it was that delicous.
i would defantly reccomend this anyone that likes fish and more.

My partner, David, and I stayed at the Badger Inn for a week in June 08. The welcome was warm, the atmoshphere welcoming and the food consistently excellent and plentiful! The room was clean and comfortable and nothing was too much trouble for Charles and his staff. We had a lovely week which was made all the more memorable as my partner proposed to me on our first evening there! (and I accepted of course.....)

We would gladly go back and we recommend it to friends and colleagues whenever asked. thank you for very pleasurable stay.

We love Coast and it is the first eaterie we head to when arriving in Cornwall every year. The food is lovely and the service is always very friendly

this resturant is simply the the best place to eat in st Ives , i have two boys under the age of two so you can appreciate what a hand ful they can be , but the staff were fabulous with us catering for the boys as well .
but above all the food is amazing we ate there twice on our stay please try the monk fish beautiful !!!!
word of warning though please call and pre book a table as they get so busy

We ate here last week after a tiring day trip to St Ives. We were looking for a resturant at a really quiet time (5pm) when everything seems to shut! We were a party of 6 with 2 small children and we had a train to catch! We came across this restaurant by accident and we found the service initially slow are were a bit agitated. However, we explained to the waitress our rush and she was very attentive, brought colouring for the kids, told us the quickest meals on the menu. We ordered, the food was quick to arrive and absolutely delicious (more waiting staff arrived as we were eating too!), The views were fantastic. I would recommend this restaurant, our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer as. if the main course was anything to go by, the starters and sweets would be worth going back for!

I recently had lunch at this great little eatery. The menu is impressive with lovely fresh fish a plenty. Staff our friendly and you can even do a great bit of people watching if you are sat by the window. A great wine selection too. Some beautiful sancere. Make sure you book.

This is a great place to eat. The staff are very friendly and efficient and the food is of fantastic standard. The menu is varied and makes you want to try something new! Goat Curry for example! I will go back again and would not hesitate in sending my friends their too.

Fabulous restaurant! Exceptional value for money, lovely vibe, gorgeous fresh food - "modern british". We went to St Ives for two nights over the May bank holiday 2008 and went to this restaurant both nights as nothing else looked up to their standard.
Highly recommended!

We ventured to The Mermaid on our second to last day of our holiday to celebrate my birthday. I was certainly not dissapointed with my starter of scallops or my main of surf and turf. I know it sounds a bit boring, but the main was fantastic, a great big steak done medium as asked for, and five fabulous juicy prawns on top. My other half had the duck to start and there was plenty of it, followed by one of the specials, a 16 oz T-bone steak. It was hugh and after eating it all he felt like he deserved a t-shirt! They also had lobsters on the specials list and from what I could see of them heading to other tables, they looked great. This restaurant is definitely on our list of restaurants to visit the next time we are in St Ives.

Having enjoyed several evening meals in Onshore several years ago, I was delighted to have the opportunity to lunch there during a recent trip to St Ives. The views are pretty good too, either the harbour or the wood burning oven catch your eye as you munch your way through a mouth watering hand made pizza or another of equally stunning dish. Chinese style pizza? Genius! I once even enjoyed sipping a bottle of champagne with one of their pizzas. An unlikely combination? Perhaps, but perfectly matched none the less. Fabulous staff make the visit complete, with excellent waitresses looking after you. A definite must have on your to do list in St Ives!

fantastic, we have been to st. ives 4 times, every time we eat here, the service is amazing, and the food is even better!

Has to be the place to go for a sunday carvery, great food....

My family and I always make a point of visiting this restauant when ever we are holidaying in Cornwall. The food is excellent, good large portions and value for money. Always freshley cooked with excellent service given by their staff at all times. This places does a very good trade so at lunch times and dinner times during the summer months make sure you get there early so that you get a table. Child friendly with childrens menue. The toilets are also very good and always clean and tidy. Excellent views of the sea and harbour. Definately worth a visit.

We went over the weekend purely because we love the location, but also because we saw the new menu signs. What a great mix to the menu now with tapas, salads along with all the old favourites from seafood to pasta to pizza. daily specials are now part of the furniture and a totally new wine list make this a haven for a really great time. We like the changes. Simple but really effective, oh and great value too...which helps

Stunning food, stunning setting and outstanding service. Having enjoyed both lunch and dinner at this location on several occasions I would highly recommend it. Each dish is mouthwatering and the choice means you have to return time and time again to ensure you get the opportunity to taste everything on the menu. As for the bread that is made on the premises and then served each evening...what more can I say!!!

4 of us went to St Ives last week for a meal and decided to try Onshore on the harbour front. The setting coupled with high quality food and service will ensure that we'll happily return soon. Great menu, funky open kitchen and contemporary feel also made for a really enjoyable experience. Open one in Falmouth please!

Wow this place is fantastic.
From the 21 wines by the glass to the perfect lunch finished with an excellent coffee, these guys know what there doing. please open a Hub in Bristol!

excellent carvery, very good value

excellent food nice surrounds helpfull staff

We went down to St Ives again for new year, arriving at 8pm Sunday evening (30/12) we dropped our bags and headed straight for Coast. It was packed but we didn't have to wait long, as soon as someone left the table was cleaned and we were sat overlooking the harbour.
The food was even better than we remembered, this place is fast becoming a reason to visit St Ives in it's own right.

My partner and I have visited this restaurant on many occasions and feel they deserve recognition for their food the cleanliness and the very friendly atmosphere created not only by the owners but also the staff.

Our party of seven had a fantastic night at the Badger for Burns night,

The Scotish themed menu was interesting, well cooked / presented and very tasty, the Scotch beef on the carvery was especially tender and full of flavour.

Our evening was greatly enhanced by the friendly and helpful staff.

We will be back..

Stuart Phillips.. St Ives..

The food, as well as the ambience and the friendly staff at the Badger Inn stand head and shoulders above their competition. The roasts are exceptional and the desserts are as good as any restaurant around.
I highly recommend a visit there when you are in St Ives.

I always look forward to my visits to St. Ives, a welcome break from city life. A highlight of my visit is always a meal out at The Badger Inn. The Badger combines everything that makes eating out so enjoyable. Friendly service, a welcoming ambience and great food at so reasonable a cost. The carvery is the best I have ever experienced. All the roast meats are superb but if I had to single one out it would be the lamb, what a delight. The vegetables are fresh and cooked to perfection, so rare to find this in a carvery. And, where else would you find a carvery which offers such delicious vegetarian options which always win the highest praise from the vegetarian member of our party. A good selection of wines, as you would expect and reasonably priced. Will I be going back to The Badger? You bet I will, I can't wait to return.

Stopped at The Badger Inn while passing through Lelant. Had gone past many times, but never called in.
Managed to get a table in the Conservatory with great view of the garden (must be great in summer). Had the Sunday Lunch Carvery and it was probably the best I have ever had. Great value and service. Must go back for the main menu or one of their theme nights.
Loads of parking, luckily very child friendly, good range of beer for my husband and nice wines for me.
Well worth calling in.

Myself,my fiancee and mother in law ate at the Watermill on New Years Eve and we must just tell everyone how much we enjoyed the meal. I had tempura prawns to start and the batter was so light and scrummy!! My partner had devilled whitebait and he was also suitably impressed! For mains i sampled the beef tails and they were out of this world, the jus which accompanies in was just gorgeous and the beef very tender. My partner had the mussels which he always enjoys and my mother in law said she had the best steak ever!! Even if it was well done!!! The treacle puddings and custard for pudding really finished off a very enjoyable evening. We also wanted to mention the young waitress who was on duty that eening, she was very busy but polite, friendly and very good at her job. Thanks all - what a way to end 2007!!!

We had excellent food yesterday, at first unsure as I am not used to all the fancy food, but I gave it a try and the food was delicious, reasonably priced and with the delightful view what more could we ask for.
The menu changes regularly so the menu is short but varied.
we will be back!

An excellent meal in a restaurant with a super view of busy St Ives. The early bird menu is really good value

love it love it !!!!!
really enjoyed our meal it was stunning and the waitresses were really friendly nice atmosphere cant wait to go back even if it is 40 miles away well worth the trip cheers

Just spent a week in St Ives ate out every night with a budget of between 350 -£80 All we can say this Restaunt (the wave) was head and Shoulders above every other in St Ives. My wife had Sardines for starters could not have been cooked better I had figs which wcould not be faulted. For the main courses she had cod with a pesto top on a bed of safron potato mash I had cornish lamb both main courses were ececelent. This food was as good as any we have eaten any were in the world. Do not Miss Eating Here it won,t be long befor celebs and the like will be crowding in here.

My wife and I have just spent a fabulous week in St Ives finished off with a superb meal at the Wave on our last night. The only problem I can find with this restaurant is that we did not go there at the begining of our stay as well. Superb food with impeccable service and a great atmosphere. We will be back and I recommend anybody to eat here!!!

This is my new favourite restuarant in St Ives.

We first used it when we stayed in the accommodation upstairs (Ocean Rooms), the breakfasts are really good with much more choice than the "full English".

I had the Sea Bass with feat a chive mash and mussel sauce which is simply magnificent, my wife had the nerb crusted cod which again was a real hit. Starter and dessert menus are a little restrictive, but what there is is very good - my wife says the Tuscan Salad ,which is a main course but she had it as a starter, is the best salad she has ever tasted (and she eats a lot of salads!). They also make the best cappuccino in Cornwall (Tip - try and get the Australian guy to make it for you!!)

Wine list also good - we particularly enjoyed the Orange St Cabernet Merlot - and on top of all this you get the best view in St Ives. Thoroughly recomended!!

we always go for our sunday roast when we come to cornwall but for the first time i was really disapointed the tables were so close together you couldn`t move we were left about 20 mins before being served the barman couldnt talk english or understand the drinks i asked for .the food was good cant complain about that but i hope the fact the place is so popular hasnt gone to the owners head

We come to Cornwall every year and spend time with my partners mother.
We came accross this high cafe that serves everything from breakfasts to main meals. The staff are ever so friendly and are perfect. They treat you as human beings not just another tourist that has come to town.
It is situated in the high street heading down towards the harbour.
Thre food is absoultly pukka, the breakfast both vegetarian and also regular breakfast come highly recommended- really capture the real essence of a proper english breakfast!!

We are becoming regular visitors to St Ives and have been to Coast twice in the last few months, once just the 2 of us and once with our 3 kids. On each occasion the meals have been excellent, the best pasta dishes we have ever tasted, anytime anywhere. Service is quick and polite, the surroundings clean and comfortable and the food excellent value for money - and I haven't even mentioned the view yet !
For both of us definitely one of our favourite restaurants anywhere.

We four hungry touring cyclists started to panic when we realised we'd be arriving in St Ives the next day having not made a reservation for the evening meal. One of us knew a good restaurant there, but not the tele number. So after a quick call via directory enquiries we were booked in. Restaurant texed back to confirm. But oh no! It's not the one we thought. It's a place called Pasta Patio. Pasta where? Shall we cancel? No. Let's risk it. Sort of like a blind date. What a brilliant decision. We each had a perfect italian meal (and we are choosey)right in the centre of the town, in a handsome Romanesque setting. Well prepared pasta and pizza with good wine at a price to make even us yorkshire cyclists reach for the wallet without wincing. The garlic bread parcels incidently, are a must.

We ate at The Mex in St Ives in August 2006. We had not made a booking, it was 9pm & they didn't really have any room (there were 5 of us)- BUT we were asked if we wanted to wait. Within half an hour, after a couple of drinks we were shown to a table! I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. The food was amazing with lots of choice for one very fussy eater & one veggie - FANTASTIC! So much so that on booking our trip for 2007 the first thing everybody said was "We'll definitely be going back to The Mex for a meal!"
Can't wait so booking a table in advance for our long awaited return!

What a lovely place for a relaxing cup of coffe and a good chat with a friend. There was a good selection of Deli items and some excellent items suitable for gifts or even to take home as treats. Whilst I did not have ameal, the choice on both the lunch and the evening menue seemed good. I would love to go back and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Ate out at the mex on 12th July 07 after reading recommendations on the website and was not disappointed. The service was friendly, waiting time was minimal and the food was delicious.Can't wait to go again.Booking recommended.

Fantastic food, I love the unusual combinations of flavours. I haven't had such lovely seafood since I left Hong Kong 7 years ago! I'll definitely head back for more.

We eat in resturents Switzerland, beautuiful places in the Black Forest and Belgium. The Mermaid is equally as good as them all, the staff are very friendly, nothing too much trouble and the food delicious. Worth every penny.

We ate early evening on Thursday 12th July 2007 during a family holiday, and two out of three of us reckon these possibly the best meals we have ever had. My teenage daughter's pizza was without doubt her best ever, straight from the wood-fired oven, while I had perfectly cooked scallops with a saffron risotto starter followed by the fantastic monkfish tagliatelle. Service was attentive without being OTT, and everything was very reasonably priced. Onshore may not be the best known seafood restaurant in St Ives - it is certainly the best value with no compromise on quality.

Visited the Coast yesterday evening. The view of the harbour with blue skies and sunshine (for a change!) wonderful.
My partner has an allergy to dairy products and the staff were very helpful in adjusting items on the menu. Starters - tempura prawns with a sweet chilli sauce and salad. Chilli beef nachos with sour cream, gaucamole and salad - delicious.
The main course of fish pie was pure heaven with every mouthful.
Didn't have enough room for dessert unfortunately. Service excellent. Being early eveing, we were lucky as we hadn't booked a table but will make sure we do next time. Highly recommended for both quality, quantity and price.

We ate at the Beach Reastaurant on our most recent visit to St Ives. It is not our first visit to the restaurant, we keep returning due to their excellent quality produce, food and standards. The waiting staff and friendly and the views are excellent of harbour. Overall I feel on our many visits to St Ives this restaurant has not failed to meet our expectations on each occasion. I can wholly recommend a visit.

We have visited this lovely restaurant 2 years running now on our holidays and both visits have been the same - excellent food and service, nicely decorated. I would highly recommend to anyone!

My husband and I ate at the Mermaid twice in 4 days, as the quality, freshness and presentation of the food, the friendly, individualised and efficient service by the staff and the atmophere and look of the Mermaid's interior were really excellent. I was surprised that it wasn't in 'The List' booklet that we picked up from our hotel, as we ate at one restaurant from 'The List' and the Mermaid was by far better. I will defintely recomment the Mermaid to anyone heading that way. Thanks to everyone there.

We stayed in St Ives three nights at ended up eating at the Mermaid every night as the food was so good. We had the early bird special two nights which meant we got a three course meal for the price of a main. The fish was absolutely fantastic, everything was cooked to perfection and the summer pudding was to die for. Service was very good too. We will definitely be back.

Have beem going to St.Ives for over 30 years,cannot find anywhere better.

super, smashing, lovely. pouring with rain outside but what a find this place was, on the harbour side in st ives. cracking toast Grommit

We have spent the Bank holiday weekend in st ives, just writing to Recommend the hub on the harbour front. Had a great lunch in there saturday, the food drink and service were all excellent. thanks to all the staff. ps thanks for the hangover after spending sunday night with you the band were great.

good honest yummy food! i enjoyed it, my husband enjoyed it and thankfully the children did to, because an evening out with the three of them somewhere they don't enjoy is no fun for anyone! we'll be going back for more.

Wow amazing pizza's this was a real gem to find. The man with the shaved head (owner) i think was really good fun and helped us polish off 3 bottles of bubbly. your round next time.

food was fantastic on our last visit to the mermaid but to be honest its always great. Mat in a great host and quite sexy if I must be honest his charm and good looks and real attention in detail with the food really make this place a pleasure to come back to time and time again!

What a gem, fantastic location the view is to die for and the food, drinks and service were top drawer real quality at very reasonable prices. we spent most of our week in the place and cant wait to come back down in June. hats off to you all at hub for a amazing venue.

I have told so many people to eat here. It is so different than a lot of restaurants in St Ives. This place has character. The ambiance is nice and the food very good . Not what you expect anyway. I had a lovely piece of hake with pesto potatoes and veg. Truly great. Book up though they were turning them away on Friday .

We took a hen party of 24 people to this restaurant last night. The service was friendly and understanding especially given some of the party games we were playing. The food arrived quickly and was hot and very good. It is an added bonus that we were able to bring your own alcohol especially for our larger party. The restaurant is small but has a great atmosphere which helped the other patrons feel at ease with the celebrations and some even joined in a little which was great. I would defintaely recommend this place if you like a relaxed atmosphere, good food at good prices and friendly service.We all had a great time here!

great food, reasonable price. lovely place to eat

Stayed just up the road from The Watermill at the beginning of march 07. Myself and my wife went there for a meal, I had the steak and ale pie and my had the liver and bacon - absolutely superb!!!! 10 out of 10 would recommnend it to anyone!

were at the mermaid over the weekend, reat value, real vegetables,
It is a must try for st.ives well done all at the Mermaid

on the last night of our trip we went to to mermaid, we were so so dissaopionted we had not found this place before,as we had probably the best meal we had whilst in the uk let alone just beautiful St.Ives. Neil had the scallops to start which were cooked to perfection and I had the special monkfish cooked in beer batter, Wow.
mym main course was the lamb which again which was a blast and neil had the lobster, and if you are into your pudding you must go for the Bruille, absolutely ammazing.
the place felt great looked great and really was great, we will beb back next time in uk

I took my two teenage daughters, my husband and his parents to onshore last Saturday evening for what I thought would be a quiet meal. It turned out to be a really lively and wonderful evening. The atmosphere is very relaxed but the food is the quality of fine dining with a twist. We got chatting to the table next to ours who also had a fantastic evening and i'm sure we all outstayed our welcome. I would definitely recommend the seabass and the seafood thai laksa from the vast menu. Kids had a veggie pizza to share with salad and wedges and the quality was superb. Price much better than expected for a family of 6 all having 3 courses and wine very reasonable!! We will be back.

What a fantastic turnaround Charles Inkin and his staff have acheived in a few months. Now the best Sunday roast for miles and a very good place to eat at any time.

becoming a bit of a regular diner here the food is excellent, all locally sourced and cooked to perfection with outstanding flavours. the lamb shank in particular was delicious and just fell off the bone and who would have thought you could make mashed potatoe so smooth.the staff are very friendly and welcoming, so to are the lovely log fires at either end of the bar, a nice reward at the end of a brisk stroll along the coast path.fantastic!!!

HAVE VISITED ST.IVES FOR OVER 30 YEARS DINED HERE FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER BEST IN TOWN

The Pizza Patio Restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, modern and stylish decor and the food is amazing! I would go there again any day!

Is there a better carvery in cornwall? If so ive not found it. abosutely first class. My one very minor issue is my partner always gets more roast meat than myself (about 6 times in the past three months)

A fabulous bar/ resturant where nothing seems to be too much trouble. My partner and i often spend sunday pms in the hub, the food is fabulous and the bar staff are all friendly and helpful. paul

i recently went to st ives for a holiday and spent a lot of time at the hub,i think it is very trendy and that the bar staff are really friendly.i will deffinately be visiting the hub next time i am in st ives :)

We returned to Beck's after a gap of over 10 years to find the quality absolutely unchanged, excellent fish and chips superbly cooked and generous in quantity. Backed up by a wide variety of starters and desserts, this is a great place to have a good meal at a reasonable price. The staff are friendly and approachable and there is a large bar area (much patronised by the locals, which is a good sign) where you can wait till your table's ready. Very highly recommended.

Went this weekend to the Mermaid, having been before and had an excellent meal, we had the fillet steak and the chump of lamb. I t was the best tasting lamb we have eveer had, it was really tender and so much meat we had a hard job finishing it. The steak was cooked to perfection, the knife just slid right through the meat. Absolutely lovely meal - would go there every week if we could afford it!

We've lived in Cornwall for 6 years now and have tried most restaurants in St Ives and the surrounding area. We tend to avoid St Ives in August but we had some friends down and decided to treat them to a meal at Onshore. We had heard really good things about this place recently. We booked last minute and could only get a table outside but what a treat. They had the heat lamps on and the ambience was wonderful overlooking the harbour. We had mussels to start which were out of this world. Steve then had the fillet steak. He said it is the best meal he has ever eaten. I had the seafood risotto and our friends had the cod and the sole from the seafood specials board. The pudding selection was also good and the home-made chocolate and orange torte was truly delicious both to look at and to eat!! The bill was reasonable even after our 2 bottles of house Pinot Grigio which was also delicious. The service was excellent even though the restaurant was absolutely packed a young lady called Ellen served us and really made our evening. All round the best experience we have had in Cornwall and I recommend it to everybody and anybody as the place just seems to suit everybody from families to couples and youngsters looking for a good night out!

Fantastic! Would thoroughly recommend & can't wait to go back!

The Wave is my favourite restaurant. If it were not 200 miles from home I would dine there more often. The food is sublime, the service faultless and, all things considered, the cost is more than reasonable for a restaurant of this quality. Other so called "premium" establishments would do well to look to the Wave, I have not found another restaurant that has even come close. I cannot sing the praises of The Wave enough. You will not be disappointed.

Great Sunday Lunch

Great location, very relaxed, no annoying kids (no offence kids) and some unexpectedly good live music!

This is DEFINATELY our first choice in going out for a meal in St.Ives & everyone we have recommended it to absolutely loves it too!
The food is delicious, not your every day menu which makes a refreshing change. Really relaxed atmosphere & GREAT artwork for sale too.
WELL WORTH A VISIT!

Get hot at the Mex. Great food and service. Lovely selections and friendly atmosphere. The bailey's cheesecake is to die for.

Beck's is absolutely superb. The interior is unashamedly 1970's, but the fish and chips are second to none. Thick fillets of the freshest fish you can buy in excellent batter. The chips are lovely too. If you're in a rush, there is the takeaway, which in fact serves the restaurant. Don't leave West or mid Cornwall without visiting Beck's.

The best food experience during our short stay in St Ives. Food was well presented, beautifully cooked & reasonably priced

After a Blas burger you won't want to visit the golden arches ever again - unlike most 'fast food', this smelt delicious as it was cooking and tasted even better. The decor is eclectic and the ethos admirable. And the small space encourages chatting to strangers. Brill!

This wasn't cheap but it was absolutely delicious: a real gem.

We've eaten at many restaurants in St Ives and this is still our favourite. Absolutely fanastic food and excellent service in smart, clean surroundings. The combinations on the menu make choosing very difficult. However, one of us has to have the white chocolate cheesecake which is sublime. It's not too expensive for this standard of cuisine either.

Gorgeous food, reasonably priced with a fantastic atmosphere. Without a doubt, the best restaurant in St Ives. A visit is definately recommended. I can't wait!

A warm and friendly atmosphere with vegetarian delights in abundance combine to make a trip to this restaurant a must. Carrot and coconut soup with Vietnamese coriander was simply mouthwatering. Main courses exceed all expectations offering delights such as smoked tofu and red onion marmalade with a sweet potato or mustard mash and wild mushroom and chestnut filo parcels with tarragon cream. For desert the homemade rasberry ripple cheesecake and hot chocolate fudge cake were scrumptious. All meals can be
adapted to suit and vegan diet and there is plenty of room for al fresco dining weather permitting. All this and not a veggie lasagne in sight !

we went to Coast a couple of saturday's ago for an evening meal with a party of six friends. we were down for a short weekend break and it made our weekend! the staff were very friendly and efficient the food delicious and a an overall lovely atmosphere we will definately be booking in for our future visits and be telling our friends too! thanks for an enjoyable evening. Mrs W Paddy

My husband and I were very impressed not only with the menu from which we had trouble choosing but also with the amount of food that we received. The quality of the cooking was superb obviously only the best products had been used. The staff were excellent nothing was too much trouble even though we had picked a very busy evening to eat.All in all a very enjoyable evening in lovely surroundings... We will be back on our next visit to Cornwall and hopefully staying at the hotel .. after such a wonderful dinner I must try breakfast!

At last a decent vegetarian option in St Ives! My partner and I visited a few weeks ago and although quiet (time of year) the atmosphere was warm & friendly and the food out of this world. The prices are really reasonable and you can even bring your own wine. I will certainly be back soon.

After an extensive refit it was a great improvement, the decor reflected the quality of the cuisine and ambience of this excellent establishment. Great views of St. Ives harbour.
