    A fantastic location and restaurant setting: huge, floor to ceiling glass frontage with views of Carbis Bay and beyond. A wonderful choice for a special lunch or dinner - particularly for a special occasion/celebration. All staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, attentive and passionate about their work. Little details, often missed by other restaurants, make this place something special. Dishes were truly inspired and beautifully presented, with each dish explained in lovely detail by staff. Each course, on the Chef's Taster Menu we had for lunch, was like a little drama of its own! The huge amount of work and passion put into every dish is to be marveled at - this is, obviously, reflected in the bill. Always happy to pay for such high standards! Sommelier was very knowledgeable and passionate, able to give information on all drinks available.
