   Our meal was spoilt by a very loud man making very inappropriate comments about many subjects including miscarriages, erectile dysfunction etc and female diners . It is a shame a staff member didn’t ask him to quieten down.

   Great meal. I would recommend the monkfish curry -- full of flavour but not too hot. Delicious!

    We had a lovely evening thank you. Food was great and service very friendly. As I said to the young waitress perhaps make it more obvious that some of the desserts are ‘deconstructed’ as some people might not be amused, but our desserts were delicious.

    Came here on Sunday & both my husband & I had the roast beef lunch which was delicious! My plate was full, must have had at least 6 veggies with a large Yorkshire & own pot of gravy! What’s not to like! The cauliflower cheese was exceptional. Such good value. Too full for dessert.

    A fabulous eatery, set in the St Ives waterfront. It was our 25th Wedding Anniversary and the service was impeccable. Friendly, attentive staff and an eclectic range of music. The finishing touch was the discovery that they sold Pol Roger champagne, our absolute favourite. Will definitely be back!

    I live locally and over the years visited all the restaurants in the town except the new ones which opened in the last year... I had never tried Porthminster Kitchen before. We dined out the previous evening and had a very pleasant meal and evening... The previous evening meal we had one starter and the drinks we had were just the same as we had at Porthminster Kitchen last night.....However, the Porthminster Kitchen bill was 33% more in cost!!!.... I agree that the food tasted wonderful, exceptional in taste...I could not fault the food.... the chefs are talented and exceptional, innovative in the design of the menu and cooking... The staff were friendly, polite and helpful...The staff were excellent.. But a prawn is a prawn, potatoes are potatoes, vegetables are vegetables, mussels are mussels... The previous evenings meal was just as enjoyable but cost 33% less!!!....Was the Porthminster meal worth 33% more??...33% better???...The answer is NO. Would I return???. NO.. Far too expensive...Porthmister Kitchen are doing something right, they are busy...But I wont return...They just need the vistors to come coming back too.

    Easy to make a meal without having a main course, which is useful for us with smaller appetites. Their Porthminster wine is good too.
