Ocean View Restaurant in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Had the joy of eating here with family twice in the past couple of weeks. The first time was nice, however a little limited on the choices that we liked in the menu. But what we did order was lovely and empty plates all round. The second time we visited we were told it was the first night with their new menu, which was fabulous! Really tasty and varied food. Again really enjoyed by all members of the family. The hotel is a family friendly hotel which caters brilliantly for young kids with a indoor playarea etc, so a little hectic with kids running around enjoying themselves, however the staff are relaxed and attentive so it never felt overwhelming.

We ate in the restaurant one night, I had soup which was warm not hot. My husband had the scotch egg but the sausage meat wasn’t cooked properly. I had roast beef for main, it came and looked great but everything was cold. The gravy was gloopy and set, I bit into a roast potato and that was cold. The waitress took it back and two minutes later brought it back and said the chef had changed it! Still cold and the half a roast potato I’d tried was on it so not a fresh meal at all. The plate got sent back again and this time a new fresh plate of food came back. The waitress said I wouldn’t be charged for the meal. Unfortunately the damage and my opinion was already formed of the restaurant. Two other couples eating by us couldn’t eat their meals as they were cold. It wasn’t even busy in the restaurant so no excuse.

We ordered a chicken burger, and seafood pasta. Chicken was chewy and basic, my pasta was ok they didn’t have salmon so added hake instead. Expensive and disappointing considering the price. We visited another hotel for dinner and was exceptional now that’s what you call a burger! Huge portions and cheaper !

A family party of 6 pre-booked 24 hours prior online and received email confirmation. On arriving we were left waiting at the doorway for a while. Eventually a waiter came over and asked our room number to which we replied we were non-residents and had pre-booked. He went away and a lady came over and said we had no booking with them. I showed her the email but she still didn’t agree. Eventually the manager came over and apologised and said he had just found our online booking! We were then left standing while they prepared our table. We were finally seated and a waiter took our drink orders followed by our food order. We all ordered steak and at last relaxed to enjoy our evening. After 15 mins a waiter came and told us the bad news - they only had 4 steaks available!!! We did feel sorry for the waiter as he had been given the role of the bad news and was so apologetic. I thought this should have been given to the manager to do but there was no sight of him at all. We decided to leave very disappointed 😔 They did say the drinks were on the house which was little compensation to a spoiled last night in Newquay. Cannot comment on the food but the ambiance was awful with no atmosphere whatsoever. Disastrous evening for all of us.

Como este hotel está justo en la carretera de donde alojarnos, nos decidimos cenar aquí. Sólo para decir que su personal es encantador y que es que se detiene. Mi esposa y yo tuvimos el hongo de arranque, éste no era en absoluto lo que esperaba. Básicamente un plato de champiñones con un montón de salsa espesa y un trozo de pan. No una barbaridad de sabor. Principales un filete con salsa de uso para mí y mi esposa con queso azul y salsa de Oporto. En realidad, tuve que envió mi carne la salsa de uso era tan caliente. se quemó la boca, y suponer que era (el director) confirmó este restaurante no era justo después de probar este mismo. Después de mi paladar se calmó, recibí un nuevo bistec y después tuve 2 picaduras he dejado el resto de anillos, ya que era insípida y las patatas fritas, champiñones y cebolla eran simplemente cata grasienta/aceitosa y sosa. Peor comida jamás y un desperdicio de dinero. Salimos sensación bastante enfermo y muy decepcionados, ya que el restaurante era encantadora, y como he dicho, el camarero era estupendo.

Spent the day in Newquay during our holiday and consulted Trip Advisor to locate a suitable place to lunch.Ocean View fitted the bill and we were only 50 yards from it at the time so in we went. Nice warm welcome from the proprietors and friendly chat followed. We were given time to decide and then the order was taken.Within minutes the food arrived, piping hot, fresh and appetising.A most enjoyable experience and really good value for money - it's such a shame we live over 300 miles away or we would be regulars.Give the Ocean View a try - well worth it !

Hotel provided a super birthday cake to go with our choice of meals. We had a window table with a great view of the sunset.

Food choice excellent Pleasant waiters / waitresses who provided very good service Spacious dining aea

nice views food ok but presented nice not a lot of choice everything seems to be in a sauce , soup tasted all the same

une catastrophe totale ; le pire désaccord de saveur jamais enduré; inimaginable de traiter le homard et le client de cette facon

A weeks stay in the Esplanade Hotel where the ocean view restaurant is was fantastic . The food was outstanding

I liked the view of the beach and the surfers and the fish dishes, particularly hake and scallops and the service was excellent.

Great sea view from the window. Menu well presented and a good variety. Food is a very good standard. Helpful and friendly staff who go out of their way to please you.

Food and staff excellent, lucky to get last table on Saturday night, would definitely recommend reserving a table.

Locally sourced food cooked beautifully and presented well. The service was quick and efficient with stunning views of fistral beach.

awful food, raw chips! how can they not cook chips and a pizza! My partners stone baked pizza can un cooked and the meal was expensive.

Nipped in for breakfast and was so impressed by the top quality food, service and polite way we were treated, I would highly recommend a visit!!!! the breakfast was one of the best I have had and the staff were so friendly. Ten out of Ten !!! thank you Ocean View !!! set us up for the day.

I have never put a review on trip advisor before, it is was only because I was prompted to when we left which i found amusing as we had already complained and nothing had been done. We went for Sunday lunch and Santa's grotto at the weekend. Food was poor we all had the turkey and it was dry and tasteless. Staff didn't seem to have a clue what they were doing let alone how to give good service! I had to ask 3 times for cranberry sauce and still didn't get any (I gave up after that) the young lad that served us seemed disinterested we mentioned that we were not happy with our meals but nothing was done, no manager could be bothered to speak to us and we were still charge full price despite leaving 50% of it. Then we went to see Santa and this was even more disappointing than the turkey. Basically I would not recommend this place in the slightest, there are far better family restaurants in the Newquay, and I will definitely not be returning!
