Delightful dinner at Salt and Samphire. A very nice restaurant run by a dedicated couple. We both had the Durban curry which was very flavorful and just on the right side of ๐Ÿ”ฅ ! Not too expensive with a good choice on the menu. I would say that the open kitchen is perhaps too open...if it could be screened a little more, I think customers might prefer it.

Only regret is that we haven't been there before. Moderate prices for such a wonderful meal. Lovely staff, efficient but not intrusive. Came away feeling more than satisfied, varied menu prepared to perfection. Would give more than 5 stars if possible, many thanks.

Had high expectations and really looking forward to the evening. The food I have to say was amazing 10/10.The friendly staff that we read about, I really don't think they knew we were there. We had to wait over an hour for our starters and a long wait for our mains, which we were told we were in a queue!! So disappointed!

We had a superb meal there tonight. My wife had cauliflower popcorn starter and I had a dish of mixed seafood a la Gallega brined and served in a delicious spicy sauce. Mains were two types of risotto. One was primavera served with foraged greens, mine was prawn, lobster and crayfish. Both were sublime and very generously proportioned. The whole menu was imaginative well thought out. We had no room for dessert! We had our Yorkshire terrier with us and she was given a blanket to lie on, a bowl of water and a few biscuits. Itโ€™s just a shame we wonโ€™t be able to visit again before going home. If you are in these parts please give this restaurant a visit. Itโ€™s much better than the local pubs you hear so much about.

We have eaten here maybe 4-5 times. The food is excellent, better than what you will pay much more for in Padstow. Itโ€™s a great atmosphere and vibe in a small, family run restaurant. My perfect kind of place, small, attentive and amazing food, all cooked and prepared with real passion. We had Korean Chicken Burger, Monkfish & Honey Parfait, all of which were absolutely delicious, as always! Canโ€™t wait to come back *****

We ate at Salt & Samphire last night and I still haven't stopped thinking about it! The service was the most welcoming, attentive and friendly I've ever had in a restaurant. The staff have created a real family-friend atmosphere and were so knowledgeable about the menu. Plenty of gluten-free options which is a rarity so really good to see. As for the food...... If I could give more stars I would. Absolutely delicious. We cannot wait to go back.

Had a family meal here last week and have to say was superb. Quality of food was excellent as were the portion sizes, the service also on point with a very good selection of wines. After visiting the Cornish Arms earlier in the week would highly recommend this place as far better value and quality. Try for yourself you will not be disappointed.

Update 28 July 2023 Still great. Had the ribs, fantastic. Also ordered was the (signature) risotto and pork chop. Unfortunately, the only single sitting venue in St Merryn now. Good food and friendly staff. Relaxed and refreshing. They currently operate a table for the evening philosophy; like the other classy venue in St Merryn. Try it.

I have to echo a previous review, the lobster, prawn and crayfish risotto is one of the best dishes Iโ€™ve had. The lobster was so perfectly cooked it was amazing. We arrived in St Merryn really late and weโ€™re looking for somewhere to grab anything. We went in and the kitchen had just closed but Lauren (I think) said if we ordered straightaway sheโ€™d see what she could do. Between us we had 2 risottos, hake or sole (?) and pasta. We left 3 bone dry plates and only didnโ€™t finish the pasta because it was such a generous portion. We all then had chocolate and caramel tarts. Again, so yummy!!! By the time weโ€™d finished it was closing time and Lauren said good night and we finished up with the owner (Tim?). He was as friendly and nice as Lauren. Excellent restaurant and staff, and even better food. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

WOW WOW WOW !! Perfect ending to our 7 night stay in cornwall. I had the cray fish and lobster risotto and OMG wow, it has to be one of the best meals ive eaten in years, it wouldnt have been my first choice but having read the reviews on here before booking, I went for it, i genuinely didnt want it to end , every mouthful was delightful, melt in the mouth . ive eaten in some top restaurants in my time and this is up there without a doubt as one of the best places ive been to , from the service with the friendly staff , to the amazing food. We also ordered the lobster, steak and fresh pasta for the kids , we also couldnt help ourselves and ordered desert too ..... and yes its was all amazing . Yes yes yes . I wish I could take this place back to london with me . I will be back next year without a doubt , already looking forward to it. Keep it up guys :) .

Service was OK, but the big stickler was the inaccuracy of the menu as it was different to online and also they had increased the prices considerably. The starter was nice but I would have expected better quantity and quality for the prices charged. For main, we were not informed of choices unavailable which left options lacking again.

Just had a meal here. I have to say it was the worst dining experience we have ever had. On arrival the restaurant was empty but we were put on a table in an annex on our own. My wife's meal was not good but I had to go to the bar to complain. No one came to the table to ask if everything was OK. They didn't even offer anything for our poor experience. Would not recommend this restaurant at all.

Excellent food this evening in a very friendly and unpretentious restaurant. Starters of scallops and peppers, followed by hake and a beautiful risotto. The best meal of the week (out of four different establishments) in St Merryn. Knowledgeable staff re: gluten-free and offered suitable alternatives. Very friendly staff both front of house and chefs. Competition in St Merryn needs to watch out. Thank you.

What a great restaurant in the heart of Falmouth Cornwall. We've ordered a mixed grill from the menu and the meat was so tender and nicely marinated that it would melt in your mouth. One other thing was their homemade yogurt, which I have fallen in love with the unique taste as it reminds me of my childhood back home and my grandma's home-made yogurt. I'm going back there again to order some more of that amazing yogurt ๐Ÿ˜‹ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ
