Yes. Yes. Yes!! It is absolutely unbelievable - I've never tasted such finely prepared seafood!…read more So: lobster & crab rolls - delicate, tender with the discrete palette of flavours that sent me to the moon. I went for two starters, so 2nd one was: whelks on sourdough bread. Yes. With the right amount of chewiness, watercress on the side...I cannot express how much I loved it. Didn't eat bread as am not a bread person but shell fish....yum. The menu didn't have dairy-free desserts so they made me dairy-free pavlova which was so absolutely perfect - I'm taking off my imaginary hat. Service was good - attentive and making me feel very welcome. If you're ever in Newquay - go for it.

Great food and quick service. Rating given as someone who…read moredoes not eat at Michelin starred restaurants. My partner has a condition which limits what she can eat. The only thing she could eat here was chips. I had the mixed fish linguini, my partner had some chips and my daughter had the children's tomato linguini. The Fish was very special; freshly cooked prawns and lovely mussels. The linguini in both dishes was cooked to perfection. Service was quick and polite. The chips were amazing which was brilliant for my partner as all holiday she has seen everyone around her eat lovely food while all she could eat was the most basic things. The restaurant still has an old charm to it, it hasn't been polished into a chic modern restaurant, and I love it more for this.

My husband and I made an online reservation before arriving in Port Isaac, and I'm glad we did…read more Outlaws is truly a fine dining experience that every foodie must try! The set menu allows the diner to experience an array of flavors and textures, and the small plate portions make it possible to fully enjoy each course. The cozy, bright interior provides an intimate setting perfect for couples. A stone's throw from the Port provides a beautiful view that enhances the whole experience. Each course was artistically presented and introduced me to flavor combinations I'd never imagined. I was truly moved by the craftsmanship and attention to detail in every dish. Outlaws is hands down one of the best places I've ever been.

My wife and I went for dinner on our last night in Cornwall (Aug 2013) when the restaurant had only…read morebeen open for a week. The restaurant is tiny and boasts what is possibly the smallest and most ingenious bathroom in the world! The menu changes daily and is full of Nathan's signature touches. Portions are small and designed to be shared like Tapas. Pick five or six between two of you and you get a great variety of top quality fish dishes. Be aware that it's quite a walk from any real parking, as it's tucked away down in the bottom of the village, right against the harbour and flanked on three sides by pubs and looks down the harbour slipway. Also, talk people should wear a helmet due to an extremely low ceiling with exposed beams. The food, though, is awesome!!! :) Definitely Michelin quality.

On a quick trip away to Cornwall to take care of wedding planning, we stayed at the Retallack…read moreResort and Spa, home to The Green Room. In our room, we glanced at the sample menu and it looked appetizing, so we opted to just have dinner at the restaurant instead of trekking out and driving someplace else. (After 5+ hours, driving didn't seem like much fun.) We had a reservation at 8:00, but we arrived at 7:30. We opted to have some wine in the lounge and check out the menu until the time of our booking. So the wine list isn't elaborate or extensive. There were some interesting choices, but it wasn't the most exciting. However, the two wines we did have (a Marlborough Sauvignion Blanc and a Rioja) were incredibly tasty. As we were perusing the menu, we saw that the executive chef of the restaurant was the 2008 Masterchef winner: James Nathan. We're avid Masterchef watchers (all three shows!) and this just seemed like an added bonus: to get to try food from one of the famed winners. When you watch the show you always wonder if the food is really as good as the judges say, or whether it is a bit exaggerated for purposes of making a good television show. Well I can say that it is definitely no exaggeration. We opted for the five-course a la carte menu (as they were only doing the tasting menu on Thursdays). It's the same as the three-course with a tomato essence (consomme) amuse bouche and a mango, lemongrass and ginger sorbet palate cleanser between the starter and the main. The other half and I are terrible at restaurants, we always want the same thing, so we both ordered the mussels (in an Asian-style cooking broth) and the lamb shoulder confit. The mussels were fantastic. They were far better than any of the mussels I had in Belgium (and I had a lot: I had three meals in Belgium and all I had were mussels) which was incredibly surprising! They were so soft and just barely cooked to perfection. None of them were rubbery. One I had was incredibly salty and had a rush of sea water, but they were heavenly. And the broth was divine. I love Asian-style food, and this broth was probably the best mussel broth I've ever eaten: Garlicky and gingery with a mix of soy and hoisin sauces. Delish! I want to go back just to eat the mussels again. They were that good. They are probably going to be the bar I hold all mussels up to from now on. I suppose the freshness level really has a lot to do with the closeness to the water: They get them fresh every day. The lamb was killer. Moist yet crispy, as a confit should be. The vegetables were just how I like them, slightly underdone and very crispy. The potatoes were tasty (although they were also slightly underdone: not inedible, but I do prefer my potatoes fluffier than these were). I ate the whole thing. For dessert I had sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream and the other half had the cheese plate. They do local Cornish cheeses (as you would expect). The pudding was really well done and the clotted cream paired perfectly. I would have liked a tad more sauce, but it was really delicious. I had a cappuccino. It was delicious. The end of the night coffee often can ruin a dinner for me, but this one was absolutely perfect. It also turns out that the table next to ours was full of James Nathan's family. He came out to chat with them, and also talked with us. He loved all the compliments we gave him about his food, and he seemed quite humble when we said it. He also moved around and chatted with the other guests which was a nice touch as well. The last time the chef came out and said hello to us was in France, and it was a pleasant surprise. If you're staying in the area, definitely make an effort to come out and visit The Green Room. The decor is a bit basic and understated, but the food is really top quality.
