    Absolutely super place to ride out to for delicious food, excellent service and a smashing view. We booked a table in advance (a group of four) and mentioned we were coming on motorbikes so would have helmets. The wonderful staff helped find a secure place for them to be stored, much easier for all concerned as it’s busy for a very good reason 🙏🏍️🌊🐠🍟💜

    Visited here on a lovely day, with dog, prior to walk. Very helpful staff, order taken, delivered as one would expect. Bill arrived with service charge thereon at 12.5%!! Really? You're a very nice cafe/restaurant in an enviable position, not Chewton Glen.

    Fabulous location and great staff who are always willing to help. I take my elderly father and he really enjoys “under the sea” breakfast and cappuccino. Never stay too long but we are always very welcomed, hence always return.

    The food the staff the restaurant and actual place is good, but this is the second time we have not had complete food orders, two of our table had the bigger breakfast which states 2 of everything but where both short of items, we didn’t realize it until we left when someone said your breakfast was much more expensive than mine and you didn’t get a lot more !! She had taken a photo of menu the meals so we looked. We will return but will be watching you .

    Lovely place to eat due to setting and the breakfast is good quality, however quite expensive for the size portions you get in comparison to other places you could go
