    A very nice little restaurant, partly inside, partly on a terrasse. Friendly service, delicately food and a fantastic view at the sea.

    Located on the great surfer beach of Porthmeor, with expansive views of sea and sky, it's a great seaside location.

    Fab, fab, fab!…read more Rustic but modern decor, right on the front at St Ives. Even on a rain lashed Friday, it was cosy and welcoming. We couldn't get a table right away but staff ushered us in so we could wait for our table and shelter from the rain. Food options look lovely - the menu board was so tempting and appeared to be very Cornish in flavour by combining options composed of lovely local produce. I came for the proper Cornish cream tea - even gluten free and it comes with authentic Cornish tea (tea made in Cornwall) - yummy! Seriously, a great place. I found it on google after searching for gluten free in St Ives and it was amazing. They cater for 'normal' people, but most of the menu can be catered for in gluten free form - breads, cakes, scones, quiches, pastry products which I was so impressed by. The menu is marked G which shows the GF options available. Makes a change from the one or two options - usually soup or salad... The scone was to die for - two scones actually in a cream tea with clotted cream and jam and a pot of tea - £5.95 but well worth it. The scones were the best GF ones I've come across and my mum, although not a huge scone fan, raved about her non-GF ones all day! I even had an extra scone - purely to use up my left over jam and cream of course as it was so great. The jam was lovely - clearly local and home made and definitely not from a supermarket jar - I could have ate buckets of it with my scone it was so good. If I'm in Cornwall again, I would definitely make the trip to St Ives to check out The Tea Room - there was so much on the menu I would have had, if I wasn't maximising the cream tea opportunity. Staff were friendly and helpful and certainly not judgemental about the GF girl and the three scones... :-)

    A nice, simply laid out cafe on St Ives harbour, where I enjoyed a very tasty leek and potato soup…read more One of our group received something they had specifically asked not to have with their meal, but it was an easily rectified problem.

    I wasn't quite sure what to make of this place, its brash exterior seems a little out of place in…read moreSt. Ives' historical street frontages; but we were assured by our local chums who had made the reservation that it was THE place for seafood, and they were right. Having got ourselves settled in and drinks ordered, we were told to go and peruse the day's catch in the counter and pick our choice of main course. There is a 'standard' menu on the tables to help you decide, and it would be much easier if they just let you choose from that instead of having to huddle round the counter; still, it's a nice option to offer. We picked the seafood medley for two, which offers a good cross-section of what's on offer, and it was just the right size to satisfy the appetite without resorting to gluttony. Everything was very tasty and well-cooked - it doesn't get much fresher than this! For dessert, I couldn't resist the chocolate, hazelnut and tia maria torte, although in deference to my dairy intolerance I had it without the clotted cream. To give them their due, the server did come and ask if I was OK with that as there was some dairy involved in the torte itself; I responded that sometimes I'm prepared to suffer a little where chocolate is involved! I'm glad I did too, it was absolutely yummy, and I love the little crunchy sugar-caramel decorations that accompany several of the desserts. I'm definitely bookmarking this place for the next time we're in St. Ives.

    When we arrived our table has been given to 2 people, the team advised us we had to wait. We…read morethought it was terrible service as there was a few empty tables of two seats and the two people were holding our table. The team didn't even offer us an aperitif while waiting so we left and went to a pub next door to spend our money. 40 minutes later... our table was finally available. As a starter, a few of us had the scallops. The dish was well presented but the scallops were pretty smalls and tasteless. Two of us had the whitebait fritters, the battered was light and crispy around the whitebait, a fine starter but nothing exceptional. For main some opted for monkfish, Cornish megrim sole and sea bass. Some others had duck or chicken breast. I didn't think the main were nicely presented, they were quite simple. I had my monkfish as recommended with hollandaise sauce. It was two tiny pieces of monkfish, it was good but again I wasn't impressed by the dish and by its taste. For dessert, few friends shared a chocolate and orange creme brûlée. I didn't like it and I just thought this dessert shouldn't be called creme brûlée but chocolate mousse ! Overall I didn't think this restaurant was amazing. Maybe on this day we were not very lucky and the team was not at its best. The person who booked this place goes very often to the Sea food cafe and she was very disappointed by the night too and the lack of great service.
