The Tearoom in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Lovely little bar and eatery right in the harbour so perfect views Staff was very friendly and seemed happy to be there Got to try there cocktails there amazing flavors Little bit dearer for some items but that the price you pay for quality Popped back a few times whilst we stayed there last week

I visited St. Ives today and noticed that they were doing Crab Sandwiches, so thought we would try them. Greeted very, very politely by the waitress. When the Sandwiches arrived, they were true value for money and very fresh. If your in St Ives well worth a visit

Delicious crab sandwiches with salted rosemary chips, friendly staff and lovely views Would definitely recommend

My wife and I had probably the tastiest mussels we have ever eaten here, I had the Thai chilli mussels and my wife had the mussels in white wine sauce, the bonus is that once you have eaten the mussels you have the most amazing bowl of soup, and if you pair that with the artisan bread you really are in for a treat.

Delicious food with great atmosphere and great views and a good spot to people watch. It’s also dog friendly which is even better

Simply the best seafood linguine I’ve ever had. Shellfish cooked to perfection and an ample portion, my two boys were in heaven. The mackerel and Nduja prawns were also exquisite, as were the rosemary chips. I would highly recommend this place. Huge thanks to the very welcoming staff and clearly very talented chefs. Thank you for a meal to remember 🙏😊

Welcoming, accommodating, friendly staff. Best Margaritas in St Ives! Delicious Mussels too! Highly recommend. Stunning view of the harbour. The perfect day ❤❤❤

Fabulous. Stumbled in by chance for lunch. Food superb. Seafood linguine great. Local crab, mussels, and prawns, squid. Hake amazing, and the halloumi ciabatta tip top

After visiting this restaurant several times over the last few years it was clear that there had been a change in the standards of both service and the food served. The menu is more limited which is fine, however several dishes on the tapas menu were out of stock which we weren’t told about until sometime after ordering. The bill was not adjusted until we asked and was then done incorrectly. The home made lemonade tasted like water with a slice of lemon added. The tapas dishes were mediocre to say the least and not a patch on the previous years dishes. Really disappointed to see the change to this once small business, unfortunately we won’t be returning :(

The Searoom has an exciting menu, great service and exceptional food. We ate at the Searoom 3 times in a week - twice for dinner and once for lunch. The crab sandwich was a real treat for lunch.

Great service. Staff are all friendly. Lovely venue. All in all a great experience!! Would defiantly come back

Booked a table a couple weeks prior & was not expected on arrival. Waited 15 minutes & went to the bar to order to be told it’s table service. Ordered food & drinks, food was cold & had to be sent back. Went up to the bar to pay the bill & was asked ‘are you here for take away drinks’… no recognition throughout.

We stumbled upon this restaurant on a day trip to St Ives. A lovely setting and good food. I had the mackerel burger which was fantastic. The service was slow but then again done with absolute enthusiasm and with a smile. Great selection of beers and cocktails- My wife had the Bloody Marry which was hot, spicy and everything it should be. The mussels were also delicious - so much so much Son picked up his bowl to finish the sauce !

We were offered a choice of tables on arrival and opted for one in the window, overlooking the harbour. Really good tapas menu and we enjoyed every dish. Service was a little slow, but we were in holiday and in no rush, so it didn't really matter. The guy who is front of house was really grumpy and stern, but we thought maybe he was having a bad day. Anyway, we booked again for another night and he was still grumpy and stern, which amused us no end. We really enjoyed the food here and he certainly didn't spoil things for us. He's obviously just not a people person!

Lovely food and we did have a lovely evening. Although the man behind the bar needs to go on a customer service training course - rude, surly, not welcoming. Remember we pay your wages

Absolutely lovely, authentic food and great service. Such a cozy atmosphere inside… perfect for friends and couples.

Great location but service was very poor and food was just about satisfactory.Tapas is available at many St Ives venues…….and at a better standard than here.

Lovely spot overlooking the harbour spoilt by the terrible attitude of the man behind the bar who clearly couldn't give a sh1t.

If you want your garnish chucked into the glass by hand, and be charged a service charge for buying a drink at the bar, this is the place for you!!

Beautiful views of the Harbour. Food was very nice. Bit disappointed by our welcome as we had booked ahead and were not expected. The member of staff seemed unhappy that we were there

Be it Brexit or Profiteering the good work in the kitchen was ruined by the dreadful service. The staff did their best but we couldn’t get our preferred dinner slot and then the place was half empty on the night. It was tasty but pricey...

Si nunca has probado una hamburguesa de arenque , ven aquí , el mejor sándwich de pescado que probarás en...

This was such a surprise.. hadn’t eaten here on previous visits An unusual but thoughtful menu i has pork belly and kim chi and my friend has the beetroot and mackerel - absolutely sublime and great wine selection and gin obviously Good service and very...

We decided to give this a try having walked by for a number of year’s when having the kids in tow. This time, no kids and a desire for something a little different. We ordered a few small plates and a bottle of wine with...

Extremely tasty food! Make sure you ask for the specials. Prebook so you aren’t disappointed. Every table was constantly filled

We stopped off here for some hot drinks. No complaints. Good frothy coffee and tea in a glass (posh). Staff friendly. We didn’t eat but the food looked so good!

Really lovely place. Delicious small plates for sharing and a fabulous gin and tonics. The meatballs are amongst the best we’ve ever eaten. The pork belly was also delicious. Lovely service as well. Definitely worth a visit.

One of our best experiences on this trip. We had been before and the food was memorable hence our making sure we went back. We were not disappointed it lived up to our memories and expectations. Really good vegan options as well as meat and...

Amazing experience. Food and drinks were fantastic, the service was good, and the relatively small size of the venue gave it such a quaint, homely atmosphere. The view of the sunset from the large window at the front of the restaurant was incredible. So picturesque,...

What a fantastic experience, the food was fabulous and the service superb- thank you Lucy. A (relatively) hidden gem. We’ve already booked to come back.

Best food in St Ives. Must try the mussels in white wine sauce which was a dream, and the crispy slow cooked pork belly. The crème brûlée for dessert was just the ticket to sample Cornwall’s famous dairy produce

Every dish ilwas delicious and couldn’t believe the quality especially after trying all the other top rated restaurants this week. I can only give this a perfect review as the service was also faultless. We will be back!!

We visited 2 years ago when I think it was called something else... but revisited based on remembering the amazing food. Did not disappoint. Great sharing dishes. Dog friendly. Nice staff. Defo worth a visit!

Excellent food, really well conceived and executed. Lovely cosy room right on the harbour with a bar in the corner. It has a sister establishment a couple of doors down which is also excellent.

Love it, Dog friendly, caters for Gluten free for the lioness, Mega relaxing!! We have seen this business grow from the Tearooms to the Searooms and still they manage to impress everytime

We visited one evening with family , the food was delicious , fabulous small plates and lovely friendly staff , well worth a visit

A casual, walk-in, week-day lunch turned out to be one of the most delicious, modern, thoughtful meals of my not-so young life. (I am a greedy 51-year old Londoner who eats out a good deal for work and pleasure, and never leaves reviews.) The crispy...

A lovely place for a lazy lunch in the window seats. Great menu for cocktails and small plates. Although our visit was slightly spoilt by the table outside smoking which was blowing directly onto us though the window. Yak! I wouldn’t have thought this was...

The food is exceptional. Service needs a bit of work but really friendly. Dogs welcome if behaved. Back to the food… we ordered 5 small plates, and each one was very good. Candied Walnuts on Beetroot and Goats Cheese was delightful, as was my favourite,...

We happened upon this gem. It is relaxed and unassuming. Each of the four of us had different meals and all were excellent. It is to be highly recommended. Paul

Everything was good except I Began to think dogs were an essential acutriment. We really enjoyed our visit.

We enjoyed a lovely evening here, a pleasant and quiet atmosphere with excellent food and service. The tapas we chose had a spicy Middle Eastern flavour, ordering 3 each hit the spot.

We came here for dinner during our stay in St Ives. The food is exceptional, probably the best food we have ever tasted. I am vegetarian and my partner is a meat eater so we had a selection of things we could share and then...

When the evening is clear and warm, you want to take a seat outside in one of their tables facing the harbour, from which you have a premium view of this beautiful village. We had a local beer and a selection of their tapas, imaginative...

Fabulous Food and service We were late in the evening and took a chance and we were very pleasantly surprised. Really delicious, high quality food. Superb pork belly, mussels, fish goujons. All great!

Headline says it all really. So the bill came to £87.25 then 10% gratuity added so final bill was £95.98. This was for 2 cocktails, large sparkling water, bread and butter and 6 sharing plates. The staff are super nice, the restaurant is small and...

If you want a top experience, walk along the harbour until you get to the Searoom. The perfect place for The view The cocktails Delicious food Enough said!

Cannot fault this little gem on the harborside at St Ives. Food was delicious, mussels and fresh mackerel. Recommended wholeheartedly

Have popped in on a couple of times for a drink and a snack...just had drinks and fries mind you...they tasted great with a drink...staff are wonderful and friendly...setting perfect watching the boats bob in the harbour and people watching...was envious of the wonderful food...

Dropped in for a quick bite on a lazy mooch around St Ives. Wow what a fined. The location is in prime position looking over the sandy harbour area and the plethora of boats. We managed to get a window seat and scanned the menu....

Perfect location with a sea view. Every mouthful was a delight to eat. All flavours went together perfectly. Can’t wait to go again to try more delights ! Staff amazing too. We think it’s pretty special.

We had a tapas style dinner on a busy summer evening- the kind waitress squeezed us in although it was pretty busy. The food came promptly and was delicious. The food beat some of the London restaurants hands down. Fresh, vibrant and tasty. We’ll be...

sat outside, nice view of the water, great menu and cocktails, highly recommend the extra 1 min walk to get out of the center.

Excellent for food, location and service! Small plates and tapas are delicious, the drinks are fantastic, recommend the St Ives gin! Beautiful harbour side view, booking is a must especially in high season.

Yummy food and good cocktails. Service was pretty good too, and of course the setting right on the waterfront can't be beat. Standout dishes for us were the burrata salad, blistered peppers and courgettes with labneh.

Having visited most - If not all - cafes and restaurants in St Ives, this was a last gasp booking having passed by and seen some intriguing looking plates. We had been slightly put off by a fairly limited menu but each plate surpassed expectations...

The food was incredible, the staff were lovely, and the drinks made me stumble a bit as I was leaving.. top service and top food just got married so we are in st Ives for a little mini moon and that was a great date...

We had most of the menu and every dish was delicious! Can’t pick a favourite! Desserts were also amazing. Best place we’ve eaten in St Ives. Will definitely be back

Don’t get me wrong, this wasn’t awful, just meh! The upshot was I had a single prawn, two fish goujons, three chips and four muscles for £107 quid. Portions were small and well overpriced. Pound for pound the worse meal of our holiday so far...

Without a doubt the best meal we had in St Ives. From the gorgeous harbour view to the delicious food, this place was perfect! The menu isn't huge but it's clear what they do, they do well Every dish was tasty & gorgeous selection of...

Pretty good all round. Small dining room and just a few tables outside, so can be difficult to get a table (booking essential), but on the plus side, service is very fast, and plates are small, more tapas like, so turnover can be quick. Seemed...

Had a late lunch here on Saturday. Sat outside, greeted by lovely friendly staff. Accommodating and helpful, recommended some lovely dishes. Food and drinks were acceptional. Tapas was very tasty, like nowhere else I've tried. Beautiful location, on the front able to watch the world...

Rude unwelcoming staff . Our first visit was enjoyable however we returned two years later and were made to feel extremely unwelcome. Will not return again .

Excellent experience and thanks to the joyous waitress from Darwin, Lancs who mad3 a difference. The food was exceptional, eclectic, creative, and well cooked.

They found us a wonderful window seat as requested during pre booking, and the staff were friendly, welcoming & attentive. The cocktails were to die for, really really tasty, and although they didn’t taste very strong, the effects of four were soon quite noticeable! :-)...

Enjoyed the food here a lot but for what you pay I think it underdelivers. The hake with warm tartar sauce was the highlight along with the mackerel. Prawns were as expected but not deveined and no discernable garlic in the butter. I was surprised...

We sat on the front overlooking St Ives Harbour the parasol offering relief from a very hot sun. I ordered the IPA and canarian potato with smoked mackerel mouse. The pint did the trick, clean, crisp and cold....the whipped mackerel mouse was light and tasty...

Just what we needed, a pleasant cocktail and tasty tapas. All served by friendly staff. Open on a Monday night unlike quite a few other places .

Absolutely delicious plates of food and good service in a lovely location on the harbour. Thoroughly enjoyed it all. Thank you.

Really sad and sorry to be writing this review but as soon as we sat down we were spoken to with sarcasm and utter disrespect. We were very much looking forward to eating there but after being spoken to in such an unexpected and rude...

Went there Thursday afternoon, it was the worst cocktail ever had!! Big waste of money and then we got charged service charge to for the drinks which has never happened at other places for drinks! If we had known there was a service charge we...

First class cooking and cocktails one again. Had the olives , Canarian potatoes with whipped mackerel mousse, breads then prawns, octopus, mackerel , pork, mussels. All top notch washed down with some Lebanese red. Cheese & brownies with dessert wine. We weren’t in St,Ives this...

Lovely variety of small plate dishes and sides. We loved the lamb albondigas, chick pea dhal and slow cooked crispy pork belly. Great view. Would have liked to have seen a wider selection of beers, but otherwise spot on!

Outside seating, with the dog, great service, the mussels and sides of fries, plus lattes were superb. Will visit again

Too delicious to describe in full detail. Have to pork but don’t miss the mussels, the arancini is a must. The king prawns are regal & their mackerel mindfully crafted. Their gin options are far too easy to sink into with each one, a thoughtful,...

We had 3 of the small dishes for lunch and were all great. Place was dog friendly amd staff were really friendly. Also had the homemade lemonade which was a delight!

This is our 2nd visit here following a visit last year. The menu had changed slightly but the choices and quality if food were excellent just as before. Also love the Super Berry gin on offer! Staff were super friendly and really helpful in working...

Booked here for a birthday with the family whilst on a visit to st ives. Super cosy and warm feel to the place, all staff had a smile on their face and nothing was too much trouble. Food was amazing, all small plates/tapas with lovely...

We randomly walked in here one day after walking around, and absolutely loved this place. Their food (ideal small plates for me!) is amazingly good, the St Ives Gin is lush(!), local beer lovely, and Rory and team looked after us so well that we...

Loved the heart warming decor of this place and the friendly staff who knew about the drinks. Amazing view and I loved the vintage chairs. No food as kitchen shuts at about 10pm, but not sure if you would be able to eat any vegan...

Visited here last Tuesday during a trip to St. Ives with my boyfriend when on holiday in Cornwall & oh my days, this restaurant is suddenly my new favourite place to eat/ drink (even though it’s 280 miles away). :( My boyfriend’s family visited here...

The food here is amazing! For four of us we decided to share 8 dishes overall which meant we could try things we’d never usually consider ordering. The ray wing and haddock arancini were 10 out of 10. The price is high but for the...

So glad we booked as Sunday evening in St Ives many places were closed. We had some trouble with the menu ! Mainly because everything sounded so yummy we really wanted to try it all. There are lots of incredible small plates, basically tapas. We...

Visited last night and we were blown away by the food and drinks. We tried about 8 of the small sharing plates and all were fabulous - unfortunately no room for desserts. The gin sangria was great and refreshing.

Restaurant is at far end of the wharf. Were lucky enough to get outside table on sunny March day. We had 2' small plates' both of which were along with 2 cocktails excellent. One of the nicest restaurants we've visited.

A lovely setting beautiful gin selection superb tapas and the service is second to none always a pleasure when we are here

A local shopkeeper recommended this restaurant to us. We thoroughly enjoyed the tapas menu. Everything tasted delicious. The gin was good too!

Found this on our first evening in St Ives. Lovely win and my wife says fantastic gin. Having found it, it was frequented regularly. I can recommend the Malbec wine and whilst trying a number, my wife says the super berry gin is brilliant, needless...

Each time we come to St Ives we pop in here for a drink and a bite to each and every time we do we are given a warm welcome. The drinks are unique and delicious and the food is fantastic! The staff are always...

We had a wonderful evening at this cosy, harbour side restaurant. The new menu and cocktails are brilliantly put together and we tasted lots of small plates along with delicious St. Ives gin and cocktails. We’ll certainly be back as the service was 5*. Our...

This quaint little restaurant was such an amazing surprise. We booked in advance, which I would highly recommend as it is very busy! The food was outstanding, service was amazing! The vegan options were incredible too. We will definitely come again

This is the 3rd time we have visited the Searoom’s and unfortunately each time the attitude of the blonde waitress is appalling, you are made to feel unwelcome, and she’s just wants to rush you out!! It is such a let down when the drinks,...

This is a great little restaurant. The food was tasty and quick, the atmosphere was really nice and the staff were really cool with us bringing our small dog. We were one vegetarian and one meat eater, and we both had lots of small plates...

We visited here on a warm August evening. We were sat in the window area & had wonderful evening views over St Ives, watching the seals. There was a good selection available on the menu & we were not disappointed, the food was delicious! We...

Tldr; Can’t recommend based on our experience in Nov 2021: just another seaside rip-off with a pretentious menu. We booked a table for our last night in St Ives (early November) on the strength of positive google and tripadvisor reviews. The tapas menu was enticing...

Lovely food and really helpful staff, if you have an allergy they are really accommodating. Would definitely go again if I get back to St Ives.

We stopped for a drink and the staff greeted us with friendly faces and smiles. We sat outside as it was a warm October day and had a great view. I had a lovely gin which tasted great. Really nice place to stop. Staff were...

This restaurant is a must if you love tapas! We had a window seat with beautiful views over the harbour. Staff were lovely and friendly and helpful and the tapas was amazing. All fresh, seafood was great and a good range to choose from!

Knowing we were going to St Ives for 4 nights we checked Tripadvisor for recommendations around allergy restaurants. The sea room came out well so we booked. A bit surprised to have to give credit card details for the booking but happy to receive confirmation....

Lovely staff with perfect food and gorgeous weather for October. Great location overlooking the harbour nice to chill enjoy the food and watch the world go by
