CHARLIES in Fore Street in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

The view from the restaurant is stunning and we caught it at sunset. The food is alright and two of the dishes were liked, but I couldn't finish my bbq rib dish (too much of the pico).

Enjoyed the mackerel pate and risotto, both dishes were delicious. Only point of note was the size of the tiny tables in comparison to the enormous plates. Eating was challenging with limited elbow room!

Absolutely terrific restaurant in Carbis Bay very close to St Ives. Visited tonight with my wife and 3 year old son. First impressions were great, they have a lovely outside seating area, and inside the place is adorned with stuff to nail down the fact that you are in a Spanish restaurant. Really nicely done. Service was brilliant, very chatty and friendly, and fast. Food wise: We had bread plate and some anchovies to start, then the lad had chicken strips, chips and salad. Loved it. Well - not the salad but that’s not the fault of the restaurant, he isn’t a fan of green food unless it’s peas or grapes. Then we have various Tapas dishes. Patatas Bravas, Chargrilled Steak, Chicken Panko, Tomato Salad, fried squid. Then we all shared some Churros and that very typical Spanish dessert….Eton Mess! Not that we were complaining, it’s my wife’s favourite dessert. All the food was superb. Brilliant meal. Really enjoyed it.

Food is awful. Zero flavour. Very disappointing. Won’t be back Toilet was dirty. Sink unclean, tap broken and a dirty towel to dry your hands with

Fantastic food service and atmosphere. Really enjoyed a chilled evening with brilliant food
