Beautiful present food, local & delicious. A relaxed atmosphere with personal and friendly service. Reasonable priced and would recommend booking a table so you don't miss out on the experience of eating here.

Absolutely fantastic. I'm a vegetarian and wasn't sure what to expect but the staff were so helpful and every dish that was bought out was delicious. My partner had meat dishes and said they were incredible. Would definitely recommend.

Not been here for 20 years. Booked it for my best friend's birthday. She's awkward (a coeliac). Was every bit as good as I remembered it. My friend had exactly what she wanted off the menu, no compromise. I will not leave it so long to return.

Very hospitable, didn't wait too long for food. Catered to my chilli allergy by changing the crumb on the lamb. So tender, perfectly portioned plate of food. Fresh potatoes and vegetables. Everything complimented each other. It was delicous. Dessert was amazing too. Had a edible salamander on both our desserts. The chocolate and fruit shot matched my dessert tart which was a lovely surprise. The local raspberry cider was good as well and I've managed to find some at home. A real hidden gem! We would come again.

Nicest food we have ever had. Great cosy little restaurant with brilliant friendly service. Portions were perfect. This is our second time in mevagissey, and first time here. I would call this a must visit, at least once.

My wife and I ate here last night and thoroughly enjoyed the food and a lovely bottle of wine. We had three dishes each (including 5 different ones) and each was as delicious as the last. We weren't sure how full we'd feel after three dishes but it's amazing how quickly they fill you up. We still had room for a plate of cheese and a shared dessert though! Well done to the new owners, a completely different dining experience in the village and we're sure it's going to be a big hit! The service was excellent too! Good luck!

After a week in Somerset Devon and Cornwall this was hands down the best meal we had. Recommended to us by a local. Superb local produce, carefully prepared and expertly presented. Fresh flavours, slightly complex but not overly complicated. Simply combined but creative enough to be interesting. Hot crab starter was wonderful. Fresh off the boat hake, chunky and flavoursome and very glad I managed to squeeze in a dessert. Also the English white wine treated a little light to start but quickly grew on me. It feels like this place should have an accolade or two , although maybe the couple running it may not want that. Lovely service too.
