First visit to the Bistro. We were impressed with the professionalism of the service. The food was great. It was early evening and the Bistro was a little cold to be sitting in.

First visit I'm sure it won't be the last. A little disappointed that the fish pie was sold out even though we were there early in service. There was a problem with our order getting through to the kitchen so we were offered a complimentary drink while we waited.

Casual, yet classy atmosphere with pleasant but not over familiar staff.Full English breakfast x5 was really tasty, loved the fact that the plate wasn’t greasy and the meat was lovely quality. The sourdough toast, I have to say was incredibly difficult to eat as it was so solid -( I know that this can easily happen with sourdough.) Incredible views across the beach.

Went for a business breakfast and asked for somewhere quiet. That didn't happen and when the cooked breakfast arrived, it was quality stuff, but little of it and no beans! Always have beans with breakfast, don't you?

I have dined here before and been pleased. Maybe it was because we were among the last servings on ` busy Sunday, but although my soup starter was delicious as was the dessert, the main course was something of a disappointment. The beef was tough, the roast potato hard and dry. My companion had no complaints about her meal and we would certainly eat here again.

My favourite restaurant didn't let us down on what was a really special occasion - my husband's 80th birthday. Even the baby at the next table behaved! The welcome and service is friendly and efficient without being obtrusive. The menu is special without being too complicated, and there is no sign of the dreaded 'little plates' - don't go there, guys! The pace of the service is smooth but never rushed. Everything was absolutely delicious. Back soon...very soon!

Good vfm with really tasty food . Although portion size varies between customers . We ordered the halibut which was small compared to the portion at the table at the side of us . That being said the food was tasty and well presented.Nice buzz to the restaurant and friendly staff who took the time to chat to you . Espresso martinis with baileys are the best ! We have been before and will definitely return .

I took family members there for breakfast. Everyone was very pleased with their choice and all commented on how flavoursome and perfectly cooked and presented the different dishes were. I am proud that it is a place in my neighbourhood. The atmosphere was just right - quiet enough for us to talk amongst ourselves without raising our voices (there were five of us) but not so quiet that we had to lower our voices.

We were given a voucher from our son and daughter in law supposedly towards the cost of a meal as a thank you. We were presently surprised that the voucher covered all. The meals were absolutely delicious couldn't fault it . I have an unusual allergy but all was dealt with
