Had a lovely lunch in the Cracking crab with friends. Crab salad for two of them, scallops for another and just prawns for me. All were good quality and tasty apart from the fries which were anaemic and cold! Presentation was good and service fairly prompt apart from my prawns which turned up 10 mins after everyone else's meal! Pleasant views though only average for Cornwall. The restaurant felt a little cliquey - not sure why and this is down to the customers not the restaurant owners. There was just than strange atmosphere that you get when people seem to think they own the place! Funnily I had noticed this but said nothing but my friend commented on it.

The Olive Tree in St Merryn opens for dinner from Tuesday to Saturday from 6.30pm). Our food is largely influenced by Mediterranean cuisine and, indeed, anywhere you might find olive trees growing. We focus on making the most of the wonderful fresh produc

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.
6. 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.

Arrived and stood waiting to be seated, 3 barmaids/waitresses standing chatting. Eventually one came over and we asked if it was ok to just have drinks and she said sure just take a seat and we will come and take your order. The room wasn't even a third full and we took a seat and after ten minutes we got up and left as the three ladies were still chatting and laughing at the bar. We remember it as the Upper Deck and had some lovely memories of those times. This however was not one of them

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.

A 10 minute walk from the main Polzeath beach the Mowhay cafe is a daytime cafe which becomes an excellent restaurant in the evening. The daytime food and drinks are fine, but the evening menu is something else. The starters are interesting with reasonable portions and the main courses are just great. My son and I both chose the fish curry, the flavour of which knocked spots of most Indian restaurants. Many places let standards slip when it comes to desserts, falling back on catering pack or ice cream. Mowhay desserts are made in the kitchen to order, and are a type and quality rarely seen. The service is capable and friendly, and the bill is reasonable given the quality of the meal. Our visits were a highlight of our week in Polzeath.

Enjoyed several dishes, each were excellent, my favourite being the red mullet. So many layers of flavour and to think this is all achieved in such a tiny kitchen!
