Great private location along the beautiful tidal road. Authentic decor and outdoor style layout. Staff took the time to explain how they operate and serve during distancing time. It was very clear and you could tell they had thought about it. They use a separate table to serve and collect on, keeping not only the staff safe, but customers too. No other restaurant has done this so far that I have visited. Menu is all delicious. Supporting local businesses with the produce they buy is a big win for me. Staff were friendly, but not overly friendly - would be my only feedback. Heard about this through word of mouth and will pass the recommendation on.

Been looking forward to coming to this place for ages, finally booked for my partner's birthday and we were a little disappointed. A lot of options on the menu weren't available and it was only 7.30pm! Service was very slow, when shown to our table we were sat for a while not doing anything! Might have been good to have been seated with the menu so we could have started looking through that or something!. Could do with more side options. What we had ordered was lovely but Not sure if we'd come again!

I had high expectations based on reviews. Initial welcome was super friendly and enthusiastic (young, blonde, curly) but she was the exception, everyone else was a bit serious and dour. Beyond fish the menu is quite/very limited which is fair enough but for the veggie in our group there was very little on offer - realistically she would have done better to stay at home - but it is a fish restaurant! We had three different fish dishes: scallops, mackerel and lobster. I think for all of us expectations (and price) maybe enhanced, and definitely exceeded reality. My mackerel was nice - having not had mackerel for years - but it was probably overcooked and tougher than it should have been. OH enjoyed her lobster but not sure she thought it was worth £40 We ate on the last day of EOTHO so saved £40 which made cost bearable, without this ........ In short: been there, done that, wouldn't go back
