Meal for two in restaurant was fair, fish was nicely cooked but expensive. Main issue was one surly male member of staff who insisted on having an outside door open as he was coming and going. It was a cold day and customers were reaching for their coats. WE and others complained to a waitress who closed the door, but the gentleman returned and opened it stating it must stay open as he wanted to go in and out. Zero customer service and a threatening look to all customers. Reported to manager who said 'its only one member of staff'Hi, we are sorry you feel this way about your experience at our restaurant and I will be talking to the staff about this situation. The issue with the door and bins is hard for us to get around as we have a certain time they must be taken out and the walk way from the back to the front needs to be open all the way through. Usually we would sit customers away from the door and do the bins as quickly as possible. The customer service you received will be seen to.The price of our restaurant is extremely low to other restaurants around the area and we were set to cheap and value for money on trip advisor. We also do student and OAP deals that aren't match anywhere for a sit down meal with waiter service.

Our first visit was for an evening meal and both the chowder starter and sea bream main were very tasty, well presented and good value. Service was very friendly and efficient. The chef's presentation of the meals is better than average and thankfully everything came in/on crockery rather than a piece of slate / wood / whatever the fad is this week - well done! We came back for drinks on two other days and sat in the grounds overlooking the waterfront - idyllic. We'd certainly go back for food and or just drinks. Recommended.

First class family run Italian restaurant with accent on fresh fish. Quite inspired cooking and marvellous welcome

Reviewed By 42GeorgieB

I’ve lived in Colchester for years, and I’ve always walked by here, on the way to a night out, thinking ‘must try that place’ and have never gotten around to it, until my friend came to Colchester. The food is absolutely divine, the service is accommodating and excellent, and it’s just a really lovely atmosphere. AND it’s family run and the prices are very reasonable. Don’t even bother with chain Italian restaurants, this place is far superior.

West Mersea Oyster Bar

Reviewed By rosegq

We went there for a late lunch thinking there wouldn’t be that many people as it was late (2:00). We had to queue for about 45mins but it was absolutely worth it the tooth was delicious. Just be aware that you have to order everything you fancy on that queue cause otherwise you’ll need to queue again.... You can seat inside or outside if the day is nice. Probably week days it will be less busy than kn a weekend. But be aware that you’ll need to wait.

Reviewed By Adrian_COLCHESTER

An authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of Colchester. Efficient service. Excellent value. Good range of pasta dishes and risotto with more expensive meat and fish dishes also available. My wife particularly enjoys the lasagne because it is free of garlic. Our own slight criticism is that the fruit juices are not good quality. Desert includes a very nice tiramisu and delicious panda cotta.
