My wife and i have been visiting this place for over 9 years , we often also go with our old neighbours . In all this time we have found the service , quality of food , cleanliness and value for money hasn’t changed . There are many owners of restaurants on Canvey that should make a visit and they will learn a lot . Lilly has always been front of house and is so good with my wifes dietary requirements ( Gluten Free ) and so knowledgeable about all the menu.

A belated Valentine's Day dinner, we were made very welcome from start to finish. The staff were very friendly and didn't rush us between courses - nothing worse than being chivvied along to get you out, this certainly wasn't the case here. Yes, the prices may put some off of coming here, but I can honestly say that it was money well spent, and the environment was perfect for a couples meal, although we sat next to a family and they seemed to enjoy themselves too. I think this is a venue for all occasions and the food was exquisite; all of our courses were piping hot, and the flavours were outstanding. The portion sizes were set for comfortably full, rather than needing to have something because you're still hungry. For a good meal out, I would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant and I already have plans to return!!

We walked in at our allotted time. Stood for a couple of minutes while being ignored by staff busying themselves with making up tables etc. Waved toward a table in the corner. Not auspicious but ok. Drinks order taken, we just opted for a litre (should have made more than 1 and a half glasses each of white sangria. Which consisted of some chopped apple and orange some white wine not chilled and Ice. Was a bit underwhelming really. We were not really feeling the love at this point. We had some olives and bread and butter. The butter was the pre packed single portion variety. No oil or vinegar etc. We ordered mains. My partner had the seafood stew special which was served with some rather lifeless bread, but the stew itself was excellent. I had a mixed meat skewer with some extra king prawn. Was asked if I wanted hot piri piri which I did. It came up with a rather disappointing salad a little equally disappointing rice, and some excellent if sparse fried potatoes. The prawns turned up 5 minutes later. The meat was good (the piece of steak was tough and chewy but flavourful, though the piri piri was all but absent. I think with the prawns the cost was around £25. The prawns were over salted We both had a dessert which was OK. A coffee and a Portuguese take on Amaretto ( which was excellent). By this time and having had to fight to get the attention of the lad laying up tables in order to order, and failing we were served by a lady who was pleasant and attentive. Overall for £120 with a tip, for 2 it was underwhelming, it may just have been that night after all the Christmas madness. We will give it another go soon and see how it is. But for now, it’s average service and despite the excellent fish stew. Average food.

Each item showing possible allergens clearly and as part of the description of the dish. Everything we had was cooked to perfection and well presented. I have no qualms on recommending Douro Valley as an eatery to visit.

This restaurant well deserves its high ranking. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced, while the suggestion of 2-3 "tapas" per person was exactly right for us - the garlicky king prawns were a highlight, but it was all tasty. The restaurant makes some concessions to where it is (see photo), with some fairly standard bar offerings, but the house wine was very drinkable and the staff were excellent, attentive and discreet at the same time. Although our table was at 9 pm and we were easily the last to leave, they didn't put any pressure on us to go, even though they must have been longing to press the ejector seat button. Highly recommended.

The food was nice, I didn't enjoy mine so much but that was more poor choice than quality as I wanted to try something different. Prices were reasonable, we didn't drink alcohol so coukdnt tell you what that was like. All in all a nice night. My wife enjoyed her chicken dish and left me with food envy.

Been here many times very good prices and decent quality food, lot of different types of food to choose from, however I would say from experience I wouldn't get the fish & chips here as nice as it tastes but on a few occasions me / my family tried to order it after tasting it first time round and they didn't have any (I suppose it's not a chippy & not many people go for that here) so something like that I'll go to a chippy - everything else is spot on !
