First things first. The view from the terrace across the course and out towards the setting sun are simply breathtaking. Definitely worth a visit to enjoy a drink and a sublime sunset - but take something warm to wear as it's often breezy and very cold.Sadly, our food came nowhere near the level of expectation that the setting and the price-level established.From little things...such as balsamic glaze being used in place of vinegar in the oil and vinegar dip, and served in a ramekin (so that bread emerged drenched in oil and with a too-sweet molecule of balsamic clinging to it).To more serious issues...crispy beef with no crispiness whatsoever; plaice dish lacking in flavour; and astonishingly even staples such as fish and chips and bacon and cheese chicken burger lacking flavour and seasoning. How is this even possible?!On the plus side, the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc was excellent (though they tend to be a safe bet these days wherever you go).We'd lost all confidence by the time we'd struggled through our main course so opted to call a halt, but the two who did really enjoyed their Eton Mess.If you've read this far - do please give me an encouraging Thumbs Up helpful vote!Many thanks, Foodandkindness

Great, great, great! As one would expect, our meal was delicious! I had cod and spinach/watercress salad, followed by salted caramel cheesecake! Utterly to die for - both courses! My husband chose lemon sole followed by chocolate ice-cream! One of the best fish and chips ever and the batter was so light! Who doesnât love Rick Stein? He knows his food!

We went to Padstow and hadnât booked but we were quickly seated. I ordered crab and prawn cocktail and my other half the squid starters. We also shared an oyster starter and they were absolutely fab! Marie our server was friendly and attentive. All the starters arrived in good time. I followed mine with perfectly cooked mussels and he had the linguini which he declared as very tasty. The mains arrived quickly and were piping hot. We then opted for sticky toffee pudding which we shared. The whole meal was well worth the money and the service from Marie was excellent. Highly recommended as the quality of food was excellent.

Too many servers, inefficient organization getting in the way of the food. Servers were nice, but it is unacceptable to me to have to speak to 7 different persons. The food was very good, ate a plate of fruits de mer for two with a bottle of champagne. Nice choice of wine.For this quality of food and price, the service must be improved, not the servers.
5. Pucelli's

We had an evening meal here, no need to book, but because we didnât we missed out on the fabulous view. Pucelliâs is a first floor restaurant right on Padstowâs beautiful harbour, when itâs warm enough the full length windows are folded back, so a window table just adds to the experience. Our food was served quickly, was freshly cooked and was of high quality. The waiters were friendly and helpful, happy to chat which we always find a nice touch. We would have no hesitation in recommending Pucelliâs as a great place to eat.

Took my friend who I trained as a cook with 40 years ago! I was apprehensive but there was no need. Good food with great service from a Polish manager. Luckily it was a Monday so half empty and so we got a table easily. What a treat at a good price.

Rick Stein's eponymous Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, North Cornwall sets a standard for fine cuisine, attentive knowledgeable service, and unpretentious atmosphere. Let me start with the surroundings.The restaurant is located near the harbor in the picturesque town of Padstow, hard by the Camel River estuary. The dining room is decorated with an eclectic assortment of contemporary art work; if you are interested, your server will gladly provide you with a coffee table book identifying the various artists and briefly introducing each work. The service was friendly, attentive, and unobtrusive. My wife and I enjoyed seats at the bar which provided an opportunity to engage our waiter in conversation throughout our meal; but he never intruded. Despite a full house, everyone on staff made a genuine effort to make us feel like we were the most important people in the restaurant.Believe it or not, the quality of the food exceeded the excellent service and the ambiance. The menu is creative, but not overwhelming. All major ingredients are locally sourced. Consequently, the seafood is as fresh as any I have ever encountered, including in the best restaurants along Florida's Gulf Coast. My Wife enjoyed a crab linguine starter followed by grilled Cornish sea bass. For me it was Cornish crab with kale and wasabi mayonnaise followed by baked red mullet stuffed with white crab. Decaf tea and a delicious creamy cheesecake provided an appropriate finish to an excellent dining experience.Reservations are required. Coats and ties are not.
