This is a lovely tapas restaurant with a great atmosphere and superior food. I was disappointed not to get mussels but they had obviously been popular that day. The food we did order was lovely however, particularly the scallops and fish goujons. The only reason I've downgraded by one star was that it felt as though we had to wait quite a while. It all came out at once which took us a bit by surprise. It was well worth the wait however and the wine was also delicious - everything I felt was fairly priced.

Walking around a rainy night in Newquay we weren't expecting much, then came in here and just.,.. yeah, I'm off to pleasure myself as my god this was that good nothing else legal can compete with the comedown from how tasty this was! Staff all seemed lovely, local and outwardly happy and they have a DOG MENU! Next time I come back down here I'm going back in until they pour enough calamari into me that I'm legally a squid.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant. I would firstly like to say that the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, I would give the staff 5 stars. Unfortunately, the food really lets this place down. I ordered multiple small taps dishes, the food was lacking flavour and needed salt. But there is one dish that was extremely delicious, this was the Chinese Butter Monkfish Bites, all the other tapas dishes that I ordered just lacked so much flavour. The prices of the food is way too expensive for the quality. It costs between £50 and £60 for just two people to eat, the price is just not acceptable. The restaurant has a traffic light type system on the table, this light button which you press to gain the attention of the waiting staff is very dirty around the edges, this is not acceptable, these need to be removed off the tables or thoroughly cleaned. I have visited twice and both times I ordered the tapas and it wasn’t great.

Having read the reviews prior to attending, expectations were high but sadly we were left disappointed Firstly we were advised no tables available in the restaurant when clearly there were. We ordered 5 dishes and all were delivered relatively cold, in fact we advised we had noted the oyster had been standing under the hot light for 10 minutes and was cold and when we told who we assume was the manager, he picked up the oyster and proceeded to eat it and then say “wasn’t very warm I’ll give you that” We unfortunately didn’t enjoy much of the food and therefore can’t recommend this restaurant

All the family thoroughly enjoyed our tapas at the fish bar..including the dogs! Holly welcomed us and was a brilliant waitress at attending to the dogs so well, giving them their own dog bed, water bowl and doggy menu! Emily was also a very friendly waitress making sure we had everything we need. Overall it was a 5* experience and we will all be back.

The only thing that could be considered "negative": our dog was already served, we didn't even sit there 😄 He was given his own bed, a bowl full of anchovies and water. The food for us two-legged friends was also really tasty and if we are in the area again, we will definitely stop by again. Thanks for the nice evening 😊

Was really looking forward to trying after being unable to get a table when we were last here. Sadly, we were left disappointed, very long wait for food then when it arrived one of the main dishes wasn't what we had ordered - the waitress apologised and said they had 'run out of Calamari and sorry it looks crap' when she brought it. It was replaced with the right order but the seafood was very heavily breaded with not much flavour to any of the dishes. Overall expensive and underwhelming.

Very nice place, service was very nice and friendly, although everything took a bit, we got our drinks after 30 min of being there but, on the positives, pur table was ready before our booking time. Food is good, we had pescaito frito (I am from Málaga, the place of pescaito frito, and I can say it was very decent), patatas bravas (they were nice but I've assumed I'll never find proper bravas in the UK), fish croquetas (nice flavour but they were actually fish cakes) and prawn and crab nachos (nice but literally 2 prawns and some crab). Overall, it's the best tapas place I've been in England but as a Spanish, I'd give it 6.5/10. There's parking but limited placws (about 6/7 cars max) and they allow dogs, which is a BIG plus :)

Booked this for my birthday whilst in Cornwall for the weekend. It is one if the best restaurants I have ever been to and would 100% recommend. It is dog friendly and the staff there provided a little dog bed and water straight away, as well as offering some whitebait for her at only £2. We had cocktails and tapas. Cocktails were lovely and the food was unreal, a fab selection and super tasty!

I have never been to a more dog friendly restaurant in my life they seem to truly love dogs. On arrival we were offered a dog bed and given water and a dog menu. We have many of the tapas items on the menu and all were delicious only one small criticism a lot of the fish on the tapas menu was fried I would have loved to see a fresh mixed seafood dish. But still 10/10

We thought some of the tapas plates were slightly bland. However, the Dover sole was superb. When we compare to similarly priced fish restaurants elsewhere in Cornwall, the food quality in this restaurant is not in the premier league. Shout out for the push-button service that we found useful.

We had phoned this place many times in the three hours before we set off to go there, but none of the " Just left school" kids could be bothered to answer. .40 minutes walk later we arrived at their front door....displaying a Closed sign. As it was only 8.40 and Google says they open until 10, like anyone else would have done we enquired if they were in fact closed, and was told Yes by the girl at reception who was just out of nappies I think. I replied " oh, Your ad on Google says you're open till 10 " " Well !! We've closed early tonight' was the dismissive response, at which point we left. SO, Dear management team, I'm not looking for the generic apology, or even an invite to return with the offer of discount. I don't WANT anything, I WANTED something and you failed to deliver. You even failed in the basic requirement of Customer Service. Dear owner, Read the first line....WE spent several hours trying to make a booking by phone...but no one answered...SO Yes...you are correct we did not have a booking in place. I have no problem with young adults starting out in their careers....But assumedly as I was....Trained in how to speak with customers etc etc.

This is one fantastic place, the food was epic, good beers and wine selection. The staff were faultless in there service and personalities. The linguine tails, pil pil, bravas all very good indeed. The atmosphere is very relaxed and nice. One almost gripe is we had our table booked for 2015 and even though we started early we were told the kitchen had closed after our first orders arrived (without warning), however, we explained we weren't advised of this and they allowed us to order our final round of tapas. Fully recommended!!

This place is an absolute banger! Tapas small plates are the way forward! They have a excellent bar with all sorts of different beers on tap which is so har to come by! The fish plates are absolutely banging and if you enjoy small plates like me, I say this place gives the fish house a run for its money! Reasonably priced and awesome flavours! They also have a cool light system for ordering on the table so there’s no need to have to catch eyes or snap fingers(if you’re a tool) at the wait staff of whom are simply awesome! The chef is a super beautiful, happy lady who bounces around the kitchen with joy and you can really taste the love in the food! All the bar staff are real people and happy to be there which in part rounds off the atmosphere superbly. I highly recommend you book in and treat yourself to an amazing feed.

Transport this restaurant and staff to the top establishments in London or Paris and they would beat many hands down ! It’s a very rare thing to encounter genuinely affable, impeccable service combined with fantastic food, fun and dog devotion- but this place has it all ! Greeted by name , guided to our table which already had a smart, clean dog bed and bowl of water waiting under the table for our “ extra guest” , shown the ingenious colour coded button light which you press for ready to order/ wanting service/ to pay we were already entranced. Surroundings of rope lights and “the hut” give off a mellow mix of surfer, Santa and ski hut vibes. The tapas dishes were , however, the piece de resistance - delicious selection and not one disappointed. Not to be left out, there is an inexpensive “ canine menu” - but when our fussy one turned her nose up at rabbit, she was then pampered with whitebait - followed by chicken ! A truly delightful evening out and that v rare experience ( for us) of wishing we had booked to eat there for every day of the holidays! Will definitely return. Miss dining here and you truly miss out a Cornish treasure !

The puddings were very special too. The tables are cleared away quickly and you have a coloured light system at the end of the table to order or to pay your bill. Brilliant idea. The place is comfortable, great music playing and it’s well decorated. Will definitely be going back and taking family and friends. Very well done to all who work there!!!!

Cuisine par excellence and wonderful service - a magic combination. My wife and I visited on Saturday March 23rd on our first visit to Newquay. Unwisely we had not made a reservation (the restaurant is extremely popular) and frankly we were 'chancing our arm' hoping for a cancellation. I spoke with Simon who kindly agreed to arrange a table for us at 7.00pm. We returned at the due time and were seated within seconds. Marvellous ambience with a cherry warm and welcoming buzz pervaded the restaurant. We were served by a young lady (I'm sorry - I cannot recall her name), who was blonde haired, slender and graceful. Her cordial attention and prompt genial manner were a credit to her. Our food consisted of a series of Tapas dishes each dish seemed to surpass the previous - a myriad of gourmet delights. I don't pretend to be a food critic - however this was fine food - the best we enjoyed during our stay in Newquay. Don't miss out - visit The Fish Bar - but make a reservation!

Staff were very friendly however the food was extremely disappointing. The pepper, crab & prawn item on the specials and the garlic mushroom was delicious, everything else was not nice. Mussels I had the cream sauce and it tasted weird, mussels itself were super fresh but the sauce made it taste weird. Monkfish was super disappointing the fish itself was good, sauce was way too overpowering. Scallops on specials were idk seemed abit undercooked in the middle and it wasn’t hot when it reached our table. We also had a Fritos dish like their seafood mix and it was tasty but not worth $18.50 at all. Super disappointing meal for $75 Update: had to look for a toilet 30mins after the meal and everything came back out, I believe it was either the undercooked scallops or the monkfish sauce or mussels sauce that tasted off

Even on a wet Wednesday the place was buzzing and that’s testament to the quality of the food and the service. We ate in the tapas bar because the restaurant was full but it was casual, cool and just plain good fun. We had the choice of about eight tapas dishes, which were perfect for a pair of pescatarians. The service was first class - attentive but genuinely friendly and the quality of the food was amazing. I can’t even select a highlight because it was all delicious. All the little added extras made us feel very special.

Dined here for my partners birthday as we tried to book last year and couldn’t get in! Let me start by saying the food and quality here is 10/10 I think I could eat the tapas here everyday for the rest of my life. The pigs cheeks were possibly the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth…. We ordered a fairly extensive selection from the menu which is full of awesome creations so you’re spoilt for choice no matter what you like really. We did however feel a little forgotten in the corner. The restaurant has in my opinion a genius solution to calling attention to staff with a light system on the table. Upon sitting this was explained to us but unfortunately our light seemed to have ran out battery which our waitress acknowledged and said she’d keep an eye on us as we couldn’t signal in the same way as other diners, sadly this didn’t quite happen and we were left for a while waiting to order. We did also order another bottle of wine three times for it never to arrive which was a shame. However this has not deterred me at all from the possibility of returning. As a hospitality professional myself I understand that staff have bad days, when something changes that you’re not used to (in this case the light calling system) it can be hard to adjust, the restaurant was also busy. The customer service skills displayed by our waitress when she was at our table where fantastic and her menu knowledge was seriously impressive. In conclusion, go to this restaurant you will not be disappointed it’s first class, just check your lights working when you sit! Thanks again for a memorable evening we will return!

The place has a great atmosphere with a varied & interesting selection of background music played at the right volume. We were served by the very friendly, witty & helpful owner.

Booked here to dine with a friend and review some well recommended tapas dishes. Staff were amazing from start to finish, attentive, polite, nothing too much to ask, and above all, friendly. We shared a bottle of white wine which is reasonably priced at £22.50 for a Pinot Grigio and was lovely to drink. We ordered a selection of tapas dishes to share, my favourite being the Gambas Pil Pil, full of flavour and a good amount of prawns in the dish. You were offered complimentary olives with the wine, we declined, but a great addition if wanted. In total we ordered 5 tapas dishes, and one garlic flatbread to share, of which we highly enjoyed 2 tapas. The ones we were not so keen on, for our personal liking, was the patatas bravas, honey soy chicken and the langoustine tails, nothing wrong with the food in terms of the cooking of it, I would say more preferred taste down to the individual. We found the tomato in the patatas Pravas far too sweet, almost like the kind from a tomato purée tube. The langoustine tails were perfectly cooked, my only comment is that it said on the menu with a coconut coating, and we couldn’t taste that at all, the chicken was nicely cooked, just purely not to our taste with the soy being a bit of an overwhelming flavour. The mushrooms, prawns and garlic flatbread were amazing. Full of flavour, good seasoning / spice and I would highly recommend these dishes. Overall, with the absolutely amazing and attentive service, alongside the dishes that we did highly enjoy, the good wine & nice atmosphere, we would definitely recommend a visit, and I’m sure we will return in future.

Ci siamo recati in questo locale guidati dalle recensioni e siamo concordi con il giudizio positivo espresso da molti avventori. Appena entrati siamo stati accolti cordialmente e siccome non avevamo prenotato ci è stato dapprima comunicato che non c’era disponibilità di tavoli ma subito dopo ci è stata proposta l’alternativa nella sala di fianco a quella adibita a ristorante, dove poter degustare una serata a base di tapas. La sala propostaci non era certo un ripiego ma una sala arredata tipo pub, con bancone e tavoli, e abbiamo degustato una serie di tapas molto gradevoli, con birra come dissetante. Locale molto gradevole, personale molto cordiale, cibo di ottima qualità, e rapporto qualità prezzo assolutamente adeguato. Che dire? Assolutamente consigliato. Ma ricordatevi di prenotare

Very expensive, such small portions, was advised that each tapas plate was about right for two people, so as there were 4 of us thought we would order 4 dishes, which was enough. So disappointed I could easily have have eaten all 4 myself. On...

We had tapas, and we had 6 dishes, they were all fabulous. We also had a cocktail each which was lovely. Kezi was our server, she was friendly and attentive and made us so welcomed. We wish we had longer left in Newquay, as we'd...

It pains me to write this review because I want to keep it a secret, however they deserve the credit. The atmosphere was great, from the owner’s father at the bar (whilst we waited for our table) with his stories, to the attentive waitresses who...

A lovely little tapas bar which specialises in fish, hence the name. The food is excellent, the service is great and done with a smile. You must pre book though as it's popular. I can recommend the scallops and the cod cheeks 😉

Very good food and service - and a cool ‘light system’ for getting the attention of the staff.

Terrific, staff and owners were superb and clearly cared about service and quality of the whole experience. If you are lucky you might get a free bowl of whitebait 😉

This is a popular restaurant and we just managed to get two places at the bar seats on a Saturday night. We couldn't fault the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The bar menu offers a restricted choice but we found more than enough to...

Having looked at the menu and not being a massive fan of fish dishes, I have put off eating here, particularly in light of the queues you generally see of people waiting to dine. My wife, on the other hand, does enjoy sea food, and as there was no queue, we gave it a go. The staff are very friendly, attentive and efficient. The first waitress who attended us took our drinks order and explained the menu to us. They are small plates but larger than tapas style. Good for someone like me, who has little experience eating fish (other than battered) and might like to try something new. To order, you mark your selection on the menu and hand it over to a waitress. It is a process I hadn't come across before but works very well. I had scallops and mackerel, and my wife tried the battered cod and prawns. We also had sides of chips and new potatoes. All the dishes were nicely presented and very tasty. The staff checked on us several times, and the interactions between themselves and the customers helped to make it a very comfortable and relaxed mid day meal. I will definitely return and would even queue (for a short while) for the same experience. I think I'll try the crab dish next time. It looked very appetising. In summary, it was well prepared, tasty food, served by good staff at a reasonable price.

This is a fantastic (tiny) restaurant, one sitting only, tasting menu only, with most courses seafood based, ingenious, delicious and perfect size. With 14 covers it's really intimate and has converted us to raw oysters! Highlights on the menu were those oysters, the tempura ones too, the trout, the seabass and the very unusual "cheeseboard" dessert, with amazing toasted malt loaf. A wine pairing is offered (quite quirky) and we again decided to share one (generous glasses!), with an occasional beer too. The atmosphere is lovely and although, we chose to sit at one of the two tables, we were close enough to the "theatre kitchen" counter seating to hear and see the fresh food cooking and chef chatting. Amazing evening, we will return and wish OFS well in the off-season
