Reviewed By willmkent

we visited this restaurant twice whilst in falmouth, on the first occasion we were in the main happy with the food although there was a delay on one of the tapas dishes turning up to the point where we were about to pay when it arrived, we had assumed it had been forgotten but anyway not a problem..so we went back again a few nights later and didnt have such a good experience in that the tapas my wife ordered all arrived in a timely fashion which she obviously needed to eat whilst still hot, however i didnt receive the tapas i had ordered till 20 minutes after she had eaten hers , i did enquire as to where my dishes were and the reply was that "this is how tapas works and the chef cooks it when he can"...so in effect we had a disjointed meal eating at different times which we didnt feel was acceptable ..it was a shame as having visited a second time we had hoped for better service..It is with great shame that I read your review as we try our utmost to make sure all of our customers have a great experience with us.From reading your review, it seems that the main reason for you not enjoying your visit was that the food (Tapas dishes) came out one by one and you were not sharing the dishes with your wife. Thus the dishes she choose came out first and the ones you wanted came out later. Tapas should be served dish at a time (as stated on our menu), sometimes two and for sharing. We don't send out dishes all together as this is not how Traditional Tapas works or a kitchen could cope. If you had informed us that you were not sharing we could have tried to send a little of each out so you could have both dined at the same time (this does not always work when very busy though - we try). I thank you for dining with us and hope you will give us another go.Best regardsMike.

Visited with family for cream teas at lunchtime. Service was excellent helpful and friendly. There was a wide choice of scones of generous proportions and lots of jam and cream (no need to ask for extra). Quality was excellent including the gluten free scones. tucked away but well worth seeking out.

Indidog Eatery

Reviewed By Brookman93

I visited Indidog back in July 2019 with family and my other half, we had a three course dinner and cocktails. What a lovely venue with a lovely view of the harbour and surrounding countryside. The owners are brilliant, the food is well made and tasty, the bar and waiting staff know their stuff regarding cocktails, drinks and food. Hopefully this will prove to be a popular mainstay with the locals and tourists alike.

Food was very heavy and calorie laden, had heartburn for 2 days afterwards .garlic bread was literally dripping , if you like greasy food its definitely for you, I had the scallops which I thought was a healthy choice, but they were so swamped in sauce they were deemed tastless.Sorry to hear of your disappointed. The scallops are actually one of our most popular dishes and we've never had a complaint about them. it's a shame you didn't mention any of the issues during your visit with us. I'm also very sorry you had too waste time writing your very first review on trip advisor when again you just have simply mentioned it on the night . What did you have for mains ? Hopefully they were to you satisfaction ? Also the only gave 2 stars for service. This shocks me as Sarah is an absolute diamond of a host and is fantastic with all the customers. Thank you for you wordsPaul

In Falmouth to visit the Maritime Museum and decided to have lunch here. Very pleased we did! We both had roast beef (sadly for my husband lamb wasn't available) and it was delicious, served pink just how we like it. Accompanied with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and parsnips, mashed carrots and swede plus a bowl of cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage in cheese sauce. Highly recommended and remember to book as they were very busy. Looking forward to returning!Hi there and thank you for your kind review.We're all delighted to see that you enjoyed your visit to the Kings and we greatly appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback.We do apologise that we were unable to offer our full regular choice of meats due to a supply issue but this has now been rectified so your husband will be able to enjoy a lamb roast on your next visit!We look forward to seeing you both again very soon!The Kings Crew

New owners but still providing a very good quality dining experience and service. Ceri looked after us very well and explained the dishes and how she and Matthew had taken over from Ken and Wendy who should be pleased their hard work to establish Olivers has not been wasted. We had booked a month ahead of our visit to Falmouth as we know from past experience that the restaurant is very popular and the Saturday we ate it was full and were turning people away. The food was as good as ever with very original touches. We had mackerel riillettes, scallops starters, hake, duo of pork for mains and a stem ginger panna cotta which was brilliant. The wines by the glass were delicious and the small bottle of prosecco was a great way of getting a single glass of fizz. Very good luck to this young couple's adventure

Pennycomequick

Reviewed By j_james0707

We visited on Sunday night after seeing the positive reviews on Tripadvisor.We didn’t book (there’s no option on the website but the team told us next time fill in the enquiry form and they’ll confirm.)I’d recommend booking as there are only a finite number of tables and it is clearly very popular.For good reason! Despite the lack of booking the super friendly team made sure we were accommodated.Service was prompt but not rushed. Very chatty but not intrusive. Laid back but on the ball too.Food...terrific. We shared an indulgent Camembert together and then both had the burger. Bursting with great flavour and texture.Excellent selection of beer, nice wine list for the location. And value! We are Londoners and so the reasonable prices were very refreshingThank you team, it was lovely.

Cutty Sark Falmouth

The Cutty Sark has an informal pub style dining area on the upper level as well as more formal restaurant on the ground floor that is also available for private party hire.

Reviewed By neverfor

I booked a table by phone and was surprised to find the Pub restaurant almost empty. We were worried whether this was because the food was not up to much but were in for a surprise.The roast lamb with vegetables we ordered was lovely and rich, very tasty.Quite a different experience from other Sunday roasts in town recently, which haven't been up to scratch one way or another, from lukewarm or uncrispy roast potatoes or swimming in gravy.We found out later that the Pub had only just restarted offering Sunday lunches.Definitely worth another visit or two.
