    I went here with the family on a Saturday night. I called ahead and booked a table…read more Upon entering the table we were greeted immediately, by two smiling waitresses. One with menus and the other with the reservation list. Seated straight away, drinks ordered and delivered all within minutes. Boom. No faffing around which was spot on. We placed our orders and it wasn't long until our starters came out. The halloumi and sausage went down well, as did the calamari. I have to say that the potato kofte although tasty enough was rather dry and only like warm. Not that happy with it to be honest. The mains all then came out and were good to be fair. The mixed grills were appetising and done rather well, chicken shush was yummy and the tiger prawns were piled up high and tasty. The waitress we had was a poppet, and really rather amusing. So was all over it, and we didn't have to once try and grab attention or wait for drinks. Not that she was overbearing either, didn't notice she was there really but every thing was just spot on service wise. The decor from the first step (toilets are upstairs part from the disabled one), is really shoddy, grimy and not good. The grease on the steps you can feel underfoot, the pint has scuffs and handprints all over, chipped and dirty. They have two single toilets which both male and females can use. To that end, the toilet seat was always up and there were pee stains on the seat, so I ended up hovering over! There has been precious units in the bathroom that have drilled holes and different coloured paint. Such a shame as the first step up just lets the place down. However, in summary, in the main, good food, excellent service, ignore the decor and pee and I'll be most definitely returning. A welcome addition to the Barbican/Plymouth offerings.

    Excellent modern food! Everything we had was outstanding. Including rib eye beef; vegetable curry;…read morepan fried mackerel; mackerel pate; charred kale; baby gem salad; peas with mint and butter. Very fresh, creative, great flavors. This is the place to come for your vegetables; they do a great job with them, nothing over cooked, and have super variety. Also, we got lucky walking in at 6:00 without a reservation, and had to be done by 7:30. So, get a booking in advance if possible. Highly recommended.

    Porthminster Kitchen is lovely. They have really friendly staff, gorgeous seafood and interesting…read moredeserts. It is located upstairs so also has beautiful views of St Ives harbour. We tried: - Mackerel pate: Oh my goodness I loved this! I could eat a bucketful! - Scallops (one came with bacon jam, the other with mac n cheese and truffles...) These *were* good, but I think I have been spoilt by the truly stunning scallops in Japan...so they didn't quite compare. - I had the hake, served with potatoes and beans. It was light, perfectly seasoned and delicious. - My husband had the sea trout with some sort of ponzu sauce. I tried a bite of this and it was also lovely. - I also tried the frozen apple desert, which was a bit of a work of art! I liked it, but had food envy for the white chocolate mousse. My friend (who booked a table for us) told me that the owners also run the Porthminster Beach Cafe, which is more famous, so harder to get a table. It was pretty busy when we visited, so it is probably worth booking a table in advance, even if this is their less-well-known resturant.
