Harbour Master

Dinner for 2. We had fresh fish and sides. Extremely good! We sat outside under heated lamps. Perfect, dog friendly. Cocktails and huge choice of food. Great deserts, too. Friendly server very helpful. Will revisit, thanks again.

Lovely place to eat and everyone loved the fish dishes and wine choices but very disappointed with other aspects, which should have been better for the price. Service was very friendly and prompt though unimpressed with their recommendation of the pistachio tart which wasn’t great. I did let our waitress know this but she didn’t say much in reply. The children’s tomato linguine seemed to be literally tinned tomatoes on pasta rather than a lovely, homemade sauce. The new potatoes in the side dish were slightly hard and way, way too garlicky (and I love garlic) and the twice baked soufflé was extremely disappointing (heavy and dense, maybe reheated). Crispy cockles were a mix of good and chewy.

Nice setting by the harbour. Strange service model. First you are seated by receptionist but without menus or option to request a drink. Secondly menus arrive (eventually), despatched hurriedly, again no option to order a drink. Carafe of water delivered. Finally abrupt young man arrives to take order. Meanwhile receptionist seats new arrivals at table that needs cleaning - why, when plenty of clean tables available?This could all be so much better. Coffee however was absolutely delicious. The young man who delivered the drinks to the table was very pleasant. Wine upwards from £10 a glass.
