Breeze in Isle of Wight

We sat 13 down for a post party Sunday lunch, excellent service, great food. Enjoyed it so much we are all returning with more guests in December.

Ordered white wine spritzer, with lemonade. Received a large wine and a separate lemonade. I would have thought the bar staff would understand the word spritzer. They have 1 vegan dish and no plant milk for tea or coffee. Service was hit or miss. Such a shame, used to be such a lovely place, catering for all diets

We come here every now and again due to proximity to our house I refused to go for years due to bad service but started again this year After this experience I will be taking another break Had an expensive steak which was good Chips that came with it were terrible. Every other one was practically raw They have ditched the cheese board so if you don't like sweet things there basically isn't a dessert option any more Drinks arrived after our food despite us chasing them

A lovely findwhile on the island. Stopped here purely by chance. We had great food and excellent service. Lovely surroundings. Fantastic fish and crispy chips, and beautiful fish pie with vegetables. Thankyou and I would thoroughly recommend to all.

We have been customers of the Breeze for many years. Great location and we have always enjoyed excellent food/service. So on Friday we decided to try the fish and chip evening special. Despite only 2 tables being occupied , it took 35 mins for our fish and chips to arrive. The actual meal was just awful. The fish had been overdone with batter - it was rock hard , nearly black with very little fish in it . A very disappointing evening. Please ,management - get this sorted . We will be back so hopefully thinks will improve !

Really disappointed. The past 9 / 12 x months ‘The Breeze’ has gone right down hill. We used to visit weekly with the children but even they’re now complaining about the food. We thought we’d pop along this week and give it another go. Shouldn’t of bothered. My daughter had mac & cheese which had no cheese / taste whatsoever, really bland and she refused to eat it (she’s five). I had the ‘Prawn Sandwich with crispy onions’ which I was really looking forward too however it was awful. The brioche roll was hard and stale, the prawns and crispy onions were freezing cold like the whole thing was taken out of the fridge ‘pre-made’ and served. Needs some proper chefs….

Fantastic booked at late notice and was accommodated with no problem , great menu , great service , I’d like to say a massive well done and thank you to Shannon , what an assist 👍

Ate here September 2022 the Food was absolutely amazing and the staff very friendly views also very good. Would 100% recommend x

I wish I had read the review below which said prepare to be disappointed because this is exactly what it was! Staff are inefficient as mentioned in some reviews. She had to take our drinks order three times. This should have raised alarm bells . When our drinks eventually arrived they took our food order,no problems. Half an hour later the same waitress explained that there was a problem with their gas and that most of our order would not be available, she also told us that this was a problem ALL DAY! If this was an issue then why was it not relayed to us? While trying to decide what to do another incompetent staff told us the gas was back and they would try our order again. After 15 minutes ,guess what the gas was off again! We promptly left our drinks and went. What a shambles! They have so much young staff that have no idea what they are doing. This place has so much potential but I can see them losing customers unless they get their act together .

We have visited the Breeze on numerous occasions over the last 12 months Every visit has been a disappointment Staff who really dont know what they are doing and often dont seem to care As for The Food on offer Be prepared to be totally underwhelmed This place could and should be so good But unless the management is changed i fear it never will !!

There were eight of us who visited The Breeze today. The staff were great and handled a lively group of people with ease. The food was amazing and our meal was topped off with the Best Cheesecake we have ever had! Deano you are an amazing chef, thank you!

We booked for a Thursday evening and the restaurant wasn't busy. We attempted to order starters but kept being told our choices were not available. Eventually managed to order 2 starters and 2 main courses. While waiting for our starters my husband went to the bar and got more drinks. He informed the waitress which table we were at so they could be added to the bill. However it didn't stop her running after him waving a card machine shouting 'you haven't paid' He explained that we were eating and hadn't paid for the food yet and our other drinks had been added to the bill. She went away but it hadn't stopped other diners looking at us like we were trying to get away without paying. Our starters arrived and were nice. A waiter cleared our plates and asked if we'd like to see the dessert menu. We laughed and said we hadn't had our mains yet. So we waited. And waited. And waited. We'd been in the restaurant over an hour by this point so we asked a waitress where our mains were and she replied she thought we'd already had them. She checked in the kitchen and came back to say the kitchen hadn't done them - we had been forgotten. We gave up at this point - told them to forget it. We paid our bill and left. Ended up getting dinner elsewhere.

We went as a large family group one evening and found this restaurant a really lovely place to eat. Set alongside the marina it had a great view across the water. The food was plentiful and tasty. The team really looked after us all. The meal was good value. Would recommend this place.

Out in the boat today and decided to tie up at Island Harbour and have lunch. Greeted by the Manager who was extremely approachable and clearly enjoyed his job. Weather was good, so we sat on the decking and looked over the Marina. Good choice of beers and what I’d call a functional menu. Not pages and pages of choices, just a handful of starters, a handful of mains and some light snacks. I personally prefer this as you know it’s not mass produced fodder! We had Margarita Pizza and chips. Pizza was a good size, freshly made, nice thin base and very tasty. Great location, attentive staff and well run. See you soon…..

I have been visiting the Breeze for a couple of years and it was always one of the best places to eat and drink on the Island. The staff were always fantastic and obviously experienced. I went last week and it was completely changed. All th old staff seemed to be gone and in their place very young inexperienced people , which is fine but with no obvious leadership it was a mess. Diners were complaining about the food wholesale and they didnt know how to handle the complaints. I waited 45 minutes for a salad , desoite it being mostly empty and I know that others waited even longer. I saw many plates being sent back to kitchen uneaten. In the end we had to laugh at the amount of complaining we could hear, it was a farce and the staff looked totally fed up and demoralised. The menu is dire with most prices being around the same amount, who is doing the costing there? They used to do such a fantastic menu, something for everyone. The specials board that used to be full was empty. And to boot, we had tried to eat there a few days earlier but was greeted by a sign saying problem with the gas, so was unable to open, only to find out recently that it was infact closed due to bad hygiene in the kitchen after a failed inspection. This was reported in the local media. After years of regular visits, we will not return. Such a shame.

We visited the Breeze for an evening meal whilst visiting the Isle of Wight. It was a return visit having enjoyed a trip last year. We were amazed at the quality of the food. The kitchen should be extremely proud of the standard of food...

The Isle of Wight is overrun with venues serving frozen chips with overpriced mains. This is one of them. The restaurant asked if it was a special occasion, our friends got married, we bought champagne. Were they interested? Of course not. At least 6 front...

We booked this for our first night on the Isle of Wight having seen the previous positive reviews, something that no longer seems to be the case looking at the most recent ones, and it's no wonder why. The initial service was ok and there...

We were extremely disappointed with the Breeze and would not go agin until they get their act together .The food was not the cheapest but it was mediocre with hardly any Gluten free or vegan options .One meal was burnt and the fish pie was...

What a shame. A lovely location great building decor and bar staff but what is going on in the kitchen. We waited 1 hour and 10 minutes for 6 meals.it was not busy. Evidently the new chef has changed the menus and gone on holiday....

I recently visited this restaurant and the food was amazing!! The Chicken Pie was AWESOME. I don't normally eat desserts but I tried the new Lemon Tart and I was speechless ... It was AMAZING!! The staff were helpful and friendly and I would recommend...

My enthusiasm for this restaurant was severely tested on my latest visit. Whilst it remains a pleasant location to eat when visiting the marina the service standards are simply dreadful. Orders get lost the food is poorly presented and seemingly cooked by untrained chefs. An...

Popped into the Breeze this lunchtime around 12.30. Found a lovely table outside. My husband bought a couple of drinks at the bar and picked up a menu. We only wanted a sandwich. Returned to the bar to place the order. Told, no, if you...

Me and my partner came here on Friday night, we ordered a meal each (it wasn’t that busy) which both arrived an hour and half after we’d ordered. I went in after an hour and asked where it was to be told it would be...

Just popped into this place as a quick and easy mooring, the food was great and the service was great, thank to Kaz, Leonia, Kaylee, Tish and Devon. Only downside was we could heR the chef being very loud and rude Overall a great experience

We decided to pop in for some light food and drinks , we were greeted by a friendly waitress and seated at a table, she then said she would pop back for our order, another waitress came back 5/10 minutes later and we ordered 2...

Went there for morning coffee and toast. The staff were obviously having an issue. They were all very grumpy about something. No filter coffee available so offered instant, ordered toast, it came ready buttered but not buttered properly, then when we ate it, they’d obviously...

popped into the Breeze for a spot of lunch , we were served by a lovely young lady called Devon she was nothing but smiley and helpful! Every time i looked over she was running around being helpful. Someone get this girl a raise !!

I was told they had stopped doing breakfast only to watch staff ordering food after I was told this. There was a group of us on our motorbike’s looking for a lovely breakfast bare in mind it was only 10:40. The staff were really unhelpful...

My title is it, the bread they buy must be the so cheap 50p a loaf ? if that you must be aware that nice thick bread/sourdough looks and taste really good , the porched eggs would have been good but they were warm, the...

We had a lovely lunch here on Wednesday with family we hadnt seen in ages. Service was great, one of the lovely ladies even went and held the baby change door open for me as I clearly had my hands full! Its the little things...

Had a lovely mother and daughter lunch before a hospital appointment. Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. We both had the cajun chicken steaks and it was mouth watering!! Highly recommend.

Visited this place a few times, always good food and service. Need to sort out the outside non smoking area better and signage. When I challenge the waiter about it he felt uncomfortable and offered me to move while they carried on smoking. After the...

We sailed over from the mainland and moored on the jetty. The food was excellent as was Leona the waitress. The fish and chips were great as were the moule. The location is lovely overlooking the harbour. Would recommend this place to all.

We had a great meal with the very best service from Shannon & her colleagues. Happy, airy and breezy environment. Perfect for families and larger groups. Make sure you try the specials!!

Sorry to say but the meals weren't great. We did mention this and they were apologetic to be fair. Some of the mussels weren't open, which I didn't realise at the time is a sign they're unsafe to eat. If I'd known that I wouldn't...

Slow service today despite staff outnumbering customers According to the wife the toilets were a mess. She had to provide a child with toilet paper as there wasn't any in child's reach Have come here off and on for many years but only because our...

We arrived at the Breeze about 2pm for lunch with friends. The staff were really friendly, they brought an umbrella over to shade us and welcomed us and you could tell that they wanted to be there. The food was great I had the Hunter...

Rach and Ben are amazing bar staff always happy and friendly and helpful Dean the chef makes amazing food Danielle is very welcoming

Awful service, food wasn’t much better. The soup starter came with a bread roll which had had the middle taken out of it. When we questioned this the manager said ‘it’s one of those baguettes that doesn’t have any bread in it’ This comment really...

My partner myself and two friends booked a table at the Breeze for Sunday lunch today. We all chose one of the Sunday roasts with one of our party choosing a larger adult portion and the other three choosing the smaller child’s portion. When the...

We prebooked our meals as we were a group of twelve thinking it would be quicker once we had all arrived. One of the meals was for a child but an adults meal arrived. The meals were brought out one at a time, I had...

We visited this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon in May, it was busy when we arrived, but were seated straight away (pre-booked). Unfortunately we had to wait for 15 minutes for someone to come over to us for our orders, and a further hour for...

This was recommended to us. Table booked for 1pm. Looking forward to a nice Sunday roast. Still waiting for food at 2pm. Asked the manageress how long we would have to wait. She sent a young waitress over to tell us it would be at...

Chef was a complete genius helping my wife with her allergies and tweaking the special to work for her. Fantastic meal with great service, will be back for sure.

Disappointed. The liver was overcooked and reduced to a pulp. I hoped the apple crumble would be better, alas the crumble was undercooked. Also, the Cape Gooseberry garnish had mould on it. When this was mentioned to the server the garnish was taken away. We...

Disappointed, used to eat here all the time, started poorly many years ago and then improved dramatically to become one of the best restaurants on the Island. Unfortunately our visit didn't live up to expectations, an hour wait for food, in fairness, they warned of...

What a great place to visit, highly recommend! Stunning location, food, drink & staff were amazing-especially Kaz who was super efficient, knowledgeable and very personable. Will certainly return on our next visit to the Island.

Searched the island for a new place to go and came across this little gem. Served by the fabulous Kaz who was super attentive and friendly (great recommendation on the wine 😜) we all enjoyed a lovely meal. Great portions and relaxed atmosphere. Reasonable prices...

Had we not been tight for time and hungry the three fish meals would have been sent back! The steaks and chicken were good, excellent chips. However, those of us who went with the healthier options of the special cod and salmon. We’re disappointed. The...

What’s happened to the Breeze? It used to be such a lovely place to go. I’ve been twice in the last couple of weeks and whilst the food was lovely the service was suffering. The first time there was a big party of foreign youngsters...

Came back with friends, all off our meals were lovely and good value. Really nice staff. Highly reccomend the puddings. My friend had fish and chips, huge battered fish really nice. Lovely decor, cannot fault.

front of house and the kitchen staff was amazing aswell as Ian who personally delivered our meal with his sexy smile 😘 xxx

Fantastic service, lively atmosphere. food cooked by Ian was delicious 10/10 chicken was falling of the fork. Will definitely be back again

On entering The Breeze at 11.30am and finding it completely empty, I was quite baffled when asking for a table for coffees for 3 people if I had booked!! I was shown to a table. I waited 10 minutes and then I asked a waiter...

I booked in advance and checked that they could cater for my dietary needs. I have IBS and severe food intolerances to garlic and onion. I was reassured they could cater for my needs and to remind waiting staff, who would inform the chef. Once...

Very disappointed with everything at the Breeze today! After putting our order in for a special family occasion of twenty people five days before and being told every thing would run smoothly it was far from smooth! Only some of the food came out together...

Spur of the moment decision to visit the breeze, we had not booked. It always looks very nice from the outside, when we visit the boat yard. We were not disappointed, we sat in the function room, which has a decking area so ideal for...

Great service, good food, friendly atmosphere. The staff are attentive, the setting is good and nicely spaced out so not sitting on top of each other

Great atmosphere lovely food. It’s sad to read here that people appear to have had bad experiences, ours was quite the opposite and this is not our first visit. We really enjoyed our food and can’t fault the attentiveness of our waitress whose name I...

I stopped here with my family for some hot drinks. I was utterly disgusted to have to ask the waitress to replace my sugar having watched her dip her bare hands into the sugar cube bowl, remove the cubes and place them into a bowl...

Visited The Breeze to celebrate a family member’s birthday. The atmosphere was amazing and staff went above and beyond. Food came out quickly; meals were well presented, tasty and filling. The chef came out to check all was ok, a nice personal touch. Would definitely...

Great, friendly and above all humorous service from the lovely Kaz today when we popped in for a coffee while on our walk. We will definitely return!

lovely time staff were so helpful - that's about all I can say. the kids park is a dream - the food is not great

Have visited The Breeze three times during past month for birthday and family celebrations. Cannot fault the food or friendly service. On one occasion we were booked on family table of 17. The food came out hot and the family all ate together. Smain was...

Terrible, barely acceptable food, old beer, non-existent service. I can't get into a full rant but my advice is to avoid.

Every time we visit as a family, Smain, the head waiter makes are time so pleasurable. He is always so polite and kind and nothing is ever a problem! He makes the experience of eating out at The Breeze restaurant just so more enjoyable! A...

Lovely family friendly restaurant. Nice outdoor play area for the kids. large size food portions for the price. Friendly helpful bar and waiting staff. Our waiter was SMAIN excellent service!

The food was poor, dry chicken with next to no mushrooms hidden underneath and presentation was nothing like the website, which looks quite refined. More like low end pub food. The waitresses were friendly but the two waiters almost threw our food and drinks at...

So where do I start…. We ordered at 12.40pm after waiting for 10-15 mins to just even get some service. Then we waited 50 mins with no sign of our food.. I spoke with AMY and she said “as there is a big group who...

We have been visiting the Island Harbour Marina for many years partly to enjoy the food at the Breeze. Over the years the restaurant has become popular with non-boaters so much so that it is now very difficult to get a table. Despite arriving by...

Whilst the staff were friendly, the young man who brought our food had a terrible cold (by his own admission). He wasn’t wearing a mask and was coughing and sneezing all over the place. There were no Covid precautions in place other than a few...

Went for a birthday lunch, but unfortunately a bit disappointed as food was not that great. Loaded potato skins were not very warm nor the scampi. Feel sorry for the restaurant as they are obviously suffering, like so many in the hospitality business, with being...

We were a party of 4 adults and 2 small children … the location is wonderful but we had to wait a long time for food … the service was shocking and we were told that due to staff shortages had to get our own...

We stumbled across this restaurant by accident as we normally search for pubs with kids areas. In general the pubs that have the best kids areas have average food. Not this place. We’ve been twice and the food was excellent as was the kids area....

As a party of seven adults and two small children we were happy to have a table to ourselves adjacent to a lovely play area with boats to look at . A good choice of food and drink . Meals were freshly cooked , promptly...

Really enjoyed the smoked mackerel and smoked salmon salad and the ploughman's. Both were very generous portions and excellent quality. There is lots of seating outside and in and a decent children's play area. Nice views over the marina and up the river Medina.

A group of service users visited for a birthday party. the food was all pre ordered before hand but took 45 mins after booked time to come out. The staff were unhelpful and due to service being so poor service users had to go and...
