   Just amazing! Certainly the best meal we've had in 2 weeks in the UK & one of the best meals we've ever had. That's saying a lot for 3 serious foodies who've traveled extensively & came to this area for Rick Stein's seafood restaurant in Padstow. The food was creative & magnificent, with a blend of subtle flavours & textures. Wine matches truly complemented each tasting course.

   I booked at No 27 terrace as a treat for me and my partner while on a family holiday in St Ives. Which we have now decided will be an annual thing, as we where so impressed and in awe of the dinning experience. From the appertif to the dessert, it was a full dinning experience that did not disappoint. From entering and being met by a smiling server to being served the food by the head chef. It was an absolute pleasure to be served by the head chef, which to me shows how proud he is of the dishes, which he has every right to be as it was gastronomical winner from the amouse bouche to the dessert. When you can get someone who has a great hate for blue cheese and goats cheese to eat these things not only happily but finish the plates, you know you've got someone who knows how to balance a plate exceptionally. Mine and my partners favourite dish was the plaice, mussels, prawns, in a calvados sauce. There was talks of bathing in this sauce. St Ives is all about the fresh fish and use of local produce and this was showcased in this dish. We then went on to differ in our opinions of the next best dishes, but the fact that every dish ingredients were locally sourced, we where told what time the fish came off the boat and the edible petals came from their garden. The food here is a masterpiece, would definitely eat here again.

   St. Ives is very very lucky to have Grant Nethercott! This has to be one of the best tasting menus and wine flights we have experienced. It is also incredibly good value for such wonderfully prepared and presented food. To have Grant talk you through each dish is brilliant and a testament to his passion for the menu he has created. We will definitely be returning and hopefully sooner rather than later. Thank you!

   Another amazing evening at 27. As always, the food was outstanding; our particular highlights were the mackerel and beetroot courses but it was hard to choose as everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were brilliant, and we loved hearing from Chef Grant about the provenance of each dish. We were also lucky enough to get a window seat and had a perfect view of the fireworks as part of the St Ives Food Festival. A fabulous evening.

    27 The Terrace never disappoints. Absolutely delicious tasting menu using many local ingredients, including wonderful fresh fish, with well-paired wines. The chef personally explains each course at your table, which is lovely - interesting and exciting to recognise flavours and ingredients he’s mentioned. We’ve been lucky enough to enjoy tasting menus in several big cities. None of them has beaten 27 The Terrace for flavour and creativity. The service is warm and efficient. We always feel very welcome. Truly our favourite restaurant for special occasions.

    Had a beautiful meal here which was thoroughly thought through from start to finish. The atmosphere was light but felt intimate and special. It was amazing having the head chef describe the dishes and talk about the origin of the produce. It was our engagement and Grant really kindly helped us toast the occasion with complimentary champagne which was a lovely touch! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    The entire dining experience was personalised, with Grant introducing each item on the tasting menu. From the amuse-bouche to the wonderful dessert, every dish was beautifully presented and delicious. Particular favourites were the plaice with lobster bisque and the home-made pastrami. The entire staff was welcoming and added to an unforgettable experience. We had a bottle of the South African Sauvignon Blanc, which was excellent. Congratulations on a triumph .

    Excellent food, served by the man himself! Fantastic, creative dishes that really impressed and made those tired tastebuds sing. Just what we needed as an evening out minus the gaggle of teenagers we seem to be accumulating. Sorry about the mark-down for value for money, but could I really justify spending this much every day just to feed the family? No, but we'll definitely be coming back on our next visit to St Ives. Staff were fantastic and joined in with our experience - it wasn't just "here's the next dish". They talked to us about how we felt about what we were eating which really helped with the experience. The fact that all the ingredients were locally sources made you feel that you were really buying into something special about Cornwall. See you again!

    A Christmas treat to ourselves and well worth the little bit extra paid . Went for the tasting menu and every course was a delight but the three fish course in particular was amazing. Thank you Grant ( head chief ) and Rees. Only criticism from me , not husband, was I was cold but it was freezing night .

    We had the full experience with the drinks flight and had an amazing evening from start to finish evening every single course was fantastic. The menu provided did not reflect the ingredients and skill put into each dish. Grant introduced each of the dishes explaining what ingredients were used and where they had been sourced. Rhys explained the wines served with each dish which were a perfect match. Service was great. With the quality of food and service being so good booked again for the next time we visit St Ives

    We booked for the 6 course tasting menu which is served by the chef and we were blown away by the service and the presentation of the food. The room itself is the perfect size with limited tables so you really do get an attention to detail that could be missing in a bigger setting. The wine pairing with the dinner could have had more description or reasoning as we felt it didn’t get as much attention as the food which was a shame however this didn’t distract for what was a wonderful evening. We would recommend here if you’re looking for quality food and an intimate setting.

    Tasting menu displayed the full skills and versatility of the chef, who personally introduced each course. Excellent local ingredients. The food was beautifully presented and served at perfect temperatures. Highlights: duck breast with a perfect Bordelais sauce reduction, using Zinfandel; the dessert of poached rhubarb with crushed gingerbread, orange and a taste of coriander. We shared a flight of wine and this provided a number of original and interesting choices that all complemented the food very well. The ambience and location are elegant - the building itself is historic- and, given the quality of the experience, remarkable value for money.

    This was the third time eating at the Dining Room at 27 and it was as wonderful as ever. A delicious menu of mainly fish was skilfully created and explained by the head chef, Grant, and the service was smooth and professional. Our highlight was the beetroot dish, the duck and the trink milk dessert. Highly recommended.

    The tasting menu was very good. The wine flight was paired expertly and certainly added to the experience. All courses were great, although the scallops course was less impressive. We weren't offered the optional cheese course. Compared to other tasting menus locally, this is good value for money as it is well thought through food that is not reliant on theatrics. Service maybe needs some polish. Overall, a very pleasant night, and we would recommend it.
