We saved a visit here for the last day of a weeks holiday. I wish now we'd gone sooner so we could have gone more than once!! It was fantastic. From the great quality of the food, to the warm friendly service, I can't fault a thing. We found it to be great value, the tapas we had was a good size, and everything was beautifully presented and very tasty. We went on a Thursday evening in October and it was fairly busy, so I'd book if you can.

We were recommend this place by the owner of the hotel we were staying at in St Ives. We booked a table.for.a Thursday evening, and the restaurant was fairly busy. The food is tapas style and was of a good quality and very tasty whilst being reasonably priced. The service was quick and the staff were all really pleasant and polite. I would definitely recommend this place to eat out if you are staying nearby.

Love sitting outside in the early evening watch the boats bob and people watching. The staff are lovely and the atmosphere chill. Bit of background music which I'm not always a fan of, but it's just about right volume and vibes pretty good.

We had lovely food here. It's more tapas like. The seafood is paired with quite strong flavours which do hide the seafood flavours a little, however I wouldn't say on this instance it is a negative thing as they are also delicious and they compliment each other. Excellent service and beautiful location

We went in here as walk in for a late lunch. The restarant has a small plate menu, we order around 3 dishes per person. When we salt down we ordered chops for our 2 year old. They never turned up even with our main meal. The food was hit and miss, and sometime more style of substance to the detriment of the taste of the main ingredients. We ordered lemon sole, prawns crab, squid, mussels and scallops. We ordered some truffle chips (these arrived) A lot of mussels had grit in them which ruined the dish for us. When the waitress came to take the dishes and ask how the food was. I did tell her about this, with no expectation other then an acknowledgement and to let the kitchen know. The response I got was like I said something crazy, no apology was offered and infact we were promptly given our bill without even asked if we wanted anything else. Great location, okish food and poor service. I would give it a miss.

Very unaccommodating with allergies!! My son has allergies to egg, nuts and sesame seeds, we were told all the fryers had been used to fry sesame seeded products even the bread had nuts in it..!! So it didn't leave anything on the menu for him to eat. We we're a party of nine so we asked if we could pop next door to the fish and chip shop and buy my son some chips to eat whilst we all had something from the menu, we we're then told no by the owner that wasn't an option!! even though you're chips we're fried in oil that had been contaminated with sesame seed products!! So we all left and ate elsewhere, with my 11 year old son apologising to us all for ruining the meal because he has allergies, 😡 we explained to him it certainly wasn't his fault and not every restaurant is understanding or accommodating when it comes to allergies..!! Even though they should be.!! Anyway we went to Beer and Bird and what a difference they were amazing cooked his food separately even though they also offer dishes containing sesame seeds, we spent well over £250 on food and drink there, 😊 🤔 Great business sense 👏🏻 for a £2 portion of chips brought from a neighbouring restaurant you missed out over £250 worth of business 👍🏻👍🏻

We sat outside and ordered some drinks, while studying the food menu for our family of four. The waitress then made a point of coming back out to state that dogs were not allowed inside, so if it started raining, we wouldn’t be able to come inside. We pointed out that our lovely Lab is a guide dog (she was in full regalia so this was very obvious as she lay perfectly under the table). It then started raining, so we asked to move to the table immediately inside on the opposite side of the window pain to us. The waitress said that this was a table for six and could only be occupied by six, not four (our party size). I queries this as it was a table of four and two pushed together….. the waitress stood firm and said a six only. We got the message at this point, didn’t order the food we were about to order and drank up quickly. Even more disappointed, on using the toilet before departing, we found the table of six still vacant, another table of four vacant and a table of four occupied by one solitary diner. Unfortunately we can only deduce from this that service dogs are not welcome at Cintra as we were blocked at every attempt to occupy a table inside and order meals for four! The experience and treatment of our party was wholly unacceptable !

We are locals and love this fish bar but today the service was terrible.I have been recommending friends and family to visit Cintra but now I cannot. We are normally given water and small taster while you wait but this didn't happen . We had to get someone's attention so we could actually order drinks and food. there seemed to be lots of the staff behind the bar talking and one or two busy taking food to tables to outside customers. The person who took our order didn't ask about allergies. My daughter in law who is allergic to nuts ordered moroccan lamb and when it arrived it was covered in nuts so was unable to eat it .there was no mention of nuts on the meal description on menu! . My daughter had had the same meal two days before and it did not have any nuts. I felt so embarrassed for the service we received and feel some of Cintras staff need extra training on hospitality. I advice the owner / manager to look at video footage.

We visited here with our family (4 adults, 5 children) on Tuesday last week. The food was good, the only reason I’ve rated it three was because the salt and paper squid was tasteless, however, we were happy with everything else. The reason I’ve rated our overall experience a 1 star is due to the service. We had one lady in particular (blonde hair), who was miserable and really rude to my Uncle. We had five kids with us, we just kept getting funny looks off this waitress (not sure of her name), huffing when we asked any questions or requested anything from her. I requested the bill, the waitress just brought the card machine over. When I asked for the receipt/bill she said she ‘doesn’t have one’. When I told her that I needed it, she said she can’t get one. Anyway, we ended up paying it (£175). I was happy about this as the kitchen accidentally brought out two of our plates twice so I was concerned this had been added to our bill. As soon as we paid, the waitress turned round to my Uncle on the table opposite and told him to keep his son quiet (he’s two years old). Why wait until we’ve paid to be rude to us?! He said, he’s literally a child, they can be loud, especially when the overall atmosphere is loud which it was. She walked off, we got our things together, to which my Uncle then went over to the bar to ask for a manager as he was really annoyed at her comment. He explained what she’d said to him and the other staff were embarrassed by her comments. Unfortunately the manager wasn’t there.. the waitress then came in and began to say that we should have kept him quiet because there’s other people in the restaurant. Never in my 9 years of being a parent, have I ever been told to keep my child quiet!! So rude and unprofessional. She had a terrible attitude and completely ruined our experience. She was very argumentative as well. The other staff came out after us and apologised because they were embarrassed by her comments and behaviour and said they would be reporting it to their manager the following day. I hope they did report her to the manager and she is dealt with. Not someone who should be working in a restaurant if you can’t be nice to people or treat their children respectfully. Due to this we definitely wouldn’t return and would advise anyone with young children not to visit either, unless you want to be made to feel bad and uncomfortable for having a child, who is simply being a child!

What a delicious dinner it was! This restaurant came as a recommendation from the hotel I was staying at when I asked where to find delicious seafood. My waitress, Ella, gave me great recommendations. She took the time as well to have a quick chat, checking up on me and making sure I was well taken care of. NOW the food, wow, just the muscles on their own deserve a praise but all the dishes I had, the scallop, mackerel, lemon sole, squid, even the bread were all packed with subtle and well paired flavours. Cooked to perfection, the fish simply melted in your mouth. And the deserts as well, not pictures because I could resist digging in were amazing, and I highly recommend the blackberry parfait and the buttermilk panacotta. Will be recommending this little gem to anyone visiting St Ives.

Waited ages for our starters, roughly around 35 mins When we finally got them they were cold, we returned then we waited another 10 mins before asking and the waitress response is they will come after being warmed up, but then does it take 10mins for chips to come out? We still didn't get our chips and finished our drinks, we asked the bill as this was too long, they had the audacity to put this on our bill even though we never received it!

For a “Tapas” restaurant, the food wasn’t terrible, but given we were near the sea, the prices were way too high. Not even in London have I ever paid the higher price they charge for a single oyster as I have here. Sadly, it's a "nibbles bar/restaurant" serving tapas. Not really a place to have dinner; for the sum we paid, we could have chosen better dining establishments nearby. A really disappointing encounter!

Went in hungry and left hungry. For what you get it's way too expensive, the dishes are really small. For example the 'ray wing' isn't a ray wing, it's 1/10th of a ray wing. Some of the food did taste good (mussels were nice) but the highlight of the meal was the complimentary starter. You need to spend a good £30-40 to get a somewhat filling meal here IMO and for the quality that's really not worth it.

Manager served us. Tried to steer us onto small plates. Looked at the price of small plates and thought no, that will be £30 each without anything else. Had crispy calamari to share. Over dressed with chopped chillies which completely overwhelmed the squid. Had seafood soup. Lovely soup but only about a third of a bowl. Lovely mussels and prawns in it. We ate somewhere else 2 nights ago and couldn’t finish the food. Cost £50. Ate at Cintra with about a third of the food we had 2 nights ago. £47. For 1 squid and 2 soups and a Coke. Other restaurants in St Ives were full tonight. We were 1 of 2 customers at Cintra. That tells a story on its own. Feeling underwhelmed and ripped off.

Food was OK but came out at different times and the dishes we picked we wanted to eat together. A couple got cold way to quick for tapas style. We had cocktails which were lovely before meal. Once food came we would've liked wine with this but were never asked if we wanted anything else or anything else to drink. It was very quiet and although staff polite when they did talk they were not attentive. We would've had wine and probably stayed for more drinks after but were disappointed. On a personal opinion the music was terrible and to load. A real shame

Ate here on our 1st night in St Ives & it was so good we booked in for a last night too & we were not let down. The food on each visit was delicious, good sized portions & very well priced. The service on each occasion was also spot on. Staff are very attentive & very professional & friendly. We ate seafood on both visits, choosing from the Specials Board on 1st visit. I had the most perfectly cooked Hake with a deliciously creamy parmesan mash whilst my girlfriend had 3 fab sized pieces of monkfish which were again perfect. My girlfriend also had the best oysters she has tasted for her starters. I took a gamble on the creme brulee as a dessert which I don't always enjoy. This version however was by far the best I have ever had & could happily have eaten a second. The evening was completed with each of us ordering a Solero Martini...OMG. This really did taste like you were sipping a melting Solero ice cream. It was amazing!! On 2nd visit I had the perfectly cooked fried mackerel fillets whilst my girlfriend enjoyed delicious mussels. Will definitely be booking again when we are back in St Ives

We come to St Ives a lot and we have noticed this cafe is often quite empty with the exception of peak times. We thought we would give it a go. The menu looked a little limited if you like fish, and the restaurant half full. We hadn't booked so were advised we could have a table for an hour for 2 people, which seemed reasonable until the waitress said 'but you can only have one course'. The comment came across as quite rude, we were then told there was more seating downstairs if we wanted, so we opted for that. When we went downstairs it was empty and 3 tables were set for 2 people, we were told we could either sit at the high bar chairs or at a tiny table for 2 in the corner. I asked were the other tables booked as more roomy, only to be told no they weren't booked/reserved, they had been set for 2 people but 'we might get bigger parties in'. At that point we left and went to a competitor where the food and service were spot on. I would advise if you strongly want to go book in advance, but to be honest I wouldn't bother. The waitress was polite and apologised as we left but the damage had been done.

surprenant ce restaurant qui de l’extérieur a l’air d’un snack. plats bien soignés, poisson frais, belle présentation, même pour le menu enfant. prix élevé par rapport aux restaurants français comme tous les restaurants anglais

The seafood cafe is always on my radar when in the area and never fails to deliver. A great menu as standard, specials are always worth a look, and drinks selection is fantastic. The cafe itself is fantastically laid out and very clean. Staff were very attentive and served with a smile. If you're in St ives, it's a must visit restaurant. Booking using their online system is easy and highly recommended

We've been eating here for over 7 years - we would never visit St Ives without visiting our favourite restaurant! Great fish and seafood, as you'd expect, but all the fresh vegetables and side-dishes are perfect too. Friendly helpful staff, nice atmosphere, always a treat.

The food was nice but there was no prices on the menu we ordered 4 fish and chips and 3 soft drinks and a coffee when we paid it was just under £90 for 4 of us, bit of a shock, won't be hurrying back at those prices

Last time the large fish, chips and curry sauce very good. Today what a difference. Large fish was not worth £8.50, skinny( more like a flat fish) and nearly broke my tooth on the chips so hard on the outside. Disappointed.

Clearly the website needs updating as they appear to be closed for the winter. Tried on Thursday 3rd October at 1pm and they were closed with all tables cleared away.

Have a takeaway fish and chips most weeks. Opened the box to find a ridiculous fish portion, thought that we had been given a childs size,it was so small,hake was 10 pounds and cod 7,with chips and peas came to best part of 30 pounds. Shame but at that price ,you would expect a half decent fish,won't be ordering again
