   Food was acceptable at best. Location was the only high point. View and staff were great. But priced way above quality.

   When visiting St Ives we have managed to visit most years to Porthminster restaurant. Have to say this was the best year to date. Amazing service couldn’t do enough. The kitchen should be super proud of the food, attention to detail and all this whilst catering for gluten free allergy. Loved every minute. Can’t wait to go back and would recommend anyone visiting to get booked.

   Our second visit and was as brilliant as we remembered it. Superb service. Attentive without being over the top. Food was excellent. Such a difficult choice from a varied menu. All dishes served hot and flavoursome. (except dessert!) A really great relaxed lunch dining experience. We'll be back!

   The food and service was excellent. This was our third visit and we travelled 90 miles from home in Devon. The only issue was the overwhelming number of dogs. I often wonder why the best restaurants don’t allow dogs.

    Service was terrific, lovely choice of drinks. Menu was slightly limited but what we selected was well cooked and delicious. Tender stem was slightly under cooked for my personal liking but we are all different. Desert of mille feuille was one of the best I've had Lovely evening.

    I cannot fault the food which was very good. I was surprised how much the prices have increased from last year. I know their energy costs have increased. I thought the 12.5% service charge that was automatically added to the bill a bit cheeky and made the overall bill even more Probably will not come back at these prices.

    I was ‘told’ you must go to the Porthminster Beach Cafe if you visit st Ives….so as always I did as I was told…and what can I say the meal was truly fantastic! I went for my girlfriends birthday meal and we both said it was some of the best food and service we’d experienced in our time in Cornwall. In particular the staff are truly amazing. We had the tasting menu which was great…my only slight gripe is I felt it was a little over priced..but only a little👍🏼….almost forgot the view over the beach really made for a perfect afternoon evening.

    Service and setting are to be commended but the food was very average, we had a far more enjoyable meal in St Ives for a third of the price. Sadly the prices do not reflect the quality of the food.

    Nice location along the beach. We loved the service and the food offer. Only disappointments were with the starter,I actually got 1 scallop for the scallops dish and with the Fish curry,where I found a whole star anise and wasn’t really rich in fishes(5 mussels, 1 king prawns, 2 prawns, 1 small piece of monkfish). One of the dessert, the millefeuille was raw,but they were happy to remove it from the bill.

    We had a lovely lunch. The food was great and the beach setting stunning. The service was extremely friendly but the food was a little slow to arrive. The food was absolutely delicious, everything we ordered was well cooked, tasty and high quality. It is a tad on the expensive side, particularly the starters. Good wine list.
