This, I believe, is the only Michelin starred restaurant in Penzance, and it is situated behind the…read morefamous Admiral Benbow in the Chapel Street area. It is certainly not the place to go for quick, cheap nosh-up. This is the other end of the scale, with all dishes being painstakingly put together and presented. The serving staff have expert knowledge of all things being served, showing chef-like passion themselves for the dishes and food on offer. You do get the fancy, rather large plates with what appears to be a small portion of the food delicately arranged in the middle, with dribs and drabs of the relevant sauces around the outside. However, the quality is superb, and the portions are actually rather good. This is certainly not to everyone's taste, but if you are looking for fine dining with excellent quality food (and you have a lot of money) this is the place to go without doubt.

We went recently having bought a voucher worth £50 for half price via Pirate FM. On arrival we were…read moreasked to sit and have drinks and browse the menu while they bought out apperitifs - lovely touch! When I mentioned that we had this voucher the menu's were whisked away, and we were left with only the a la carte, which did not really have anything I particularly wanted as I don't care for fish. I chose the cornish beef fillet which attracted a hefty £6.75 supplement - the price for a la carte is £24 for 2 courses and £29.95 for three. As vegetables are not included with the meal we added that to the order, another £3.95 The food was absolutely wonderful - very tasty and beautifully presented. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the surroundings were pleasant. We only had one alcoholic drink each and ended with coffee but the bill came to just shy of £37 to pay after the £50 voucher had been deducted. I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wanted fine dining and can afford it, as for myself - when I win the lottery, perhaps I will return and bring family and friends with me :-D

The restaurant was busy and fortunately had a table open despite not having booked ahead. We were lucky because the restaurant got full quickly and had a warm humming background murmur without being loud or disruptive. The naan was light and flavorful. The balti chicken was good enough to be my son's new favorite dish though could have been spicier. The vegetable rice was excellent. I got to try a new beer that I had never had before (Cobra). Locals at the table next to us said it was the best Indian in the area. We are definitely glad we stopped in!

The service was quite slow, I reckon they didn't expect a busy night on a Wednesday hence there was only 1 staff serving on the floor. The superb meal paid off so I won't complain.
