The waitress was an absolute star, she persevered with two pensioners. The fish and chips were a tad disappointing, though the fish was well cooked, the chips were suffering from anaemia. I would struggle to describe the mushy peas but my wife's side salad was brilliant. All in all, a little disappointing, though we would go again.

We called into the waterfront, with 4 people,3 wheelchairs and walker plus 3 staff from our care home today. The staff were very kind and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Mostly we had fish and chips which was superb and we would definitely go there again

Lukewarm chips (and that's being generous) soggy thin batter on the overcooked mushy (and very slim) large fish fillet and the fish tasted like it had been cooked in old oil. On a plus, the mushy peas were nice.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The prices are good for a seaside town. The coffee is amazing and the food, from the cooked breakfast to cod and chips, are a treat. The fish is daily brought and very fresh. The chips are homemade, not frozen. It maybe only small but it is lovely. The cook and owner is lovely and even comes out to make sure everything is ok. They are lovely people. We recommend the cafe for anyone and the take window, is the same quality food you buy from the cafe. xxxx

They spent more time thinking through the wallpaper than the fish or chips. Honestly, some of the most disappointing fish and chips I’ve seen, outside a Tesco frozen aisle. It was all mushy, not just the peas. Also, the service was confused and slow. They forgot our drinks and we sat without cutlery for a while, after our food was in front of us, getting colder. Won’t be back.

We were drawn the lovely new interior and were so impressed and very happy with the service and food. I accidentally poured sugar on my chips and got given a new portion free of charge. The manager, Tommy, and his staff, Ruben and Lindsay, were warm, friendly and helpful. PS great tunes, thanks for putting on the Craig David ❤️❤️❤️

Me and my friend had a ve delicious lunch yesterday here. A huge portion of fish and crispy chips fried in fresh oil. Tom and Sylvia organized an excellent service. If you add a great location of the restaurant, this is the best place to visit in Southend!

Terrible service. A woman was super rude to me and my sister when we were paying to eat in. Price is ridiculous for eating in. Never coming again.

We visited bank holiday monday and only went for a coffee, the staff are friendly and helpful and answered some questions about the coffee which is easily the best coffee we have had in ages. The barista this day made the perfect coffee and the staff are so friendly and polite. If I could give 10 stars I would, and i am guessing the owner is a Elvis Presley fan

The food is absolutely dreadful for example the chips was like a seagull had got them out of a bin and they found them on the street and put them in the microwave and served them and don't even get me started on the price £9.50 for a jacket potato it's daylight robbery please avoid like covid-19

Horrible cold chips. The sign outside said 'traditional fish and chips'. Couldn't have been further from the truth. More like frozen chips

Do not recommend this place, chips are really bad and a veggie burger was just a roll with a tiny frozen burger. Avoid as there are better places to eat in Southend-on-Sea

Absolutely appalled by the experience we had on Sat night. Booked a table for 11 people (family came down from Ipswich, a yearly catch up). It was booked a couple of months ago and confirmed on the day. Was never told there were a few sittings. Our meal came fairly quickly and all was good up to that point. As soon as our meal was finished so our bill came which we never asked for as we were still drinking. They never even asked if we wanted a dessert or further drinks. We sat for a short while but was asked to leave as they needed the table. We were fuming as it had only been just over an hour since we got there. A long way to come for an hour. Needless to say we will not be going there again. So please when booking there make sure they tell how long you have.

We visited for my husband‘s birthday. We were a table of five and arrived at 7 pm. On arrival. We were the only diners in the restaurant. Three other tables were occupied by the time that we left 9 pm. This was a sat night. The menu has changed fewer choices or maybe fewer fine dining choices. The signature dish seemed to be the steak either steak on the stone or cooked so we opted for steak. The menu even contains a little joke. “Don’t ask the chef to cook well or medium well “ I opted for medium rare so when it arrived, I struggled to find the pink meat. I also ordered some garlic bread for our daughters, it arrived smothered in cheese but no mention that it would have cheese both daughters don’t eat cheese . The waiting staff require additional training. A female server. Didn’t even apologise when I complained about my steak instead told me it would be a further 15 minutes for a new piece , that wouldn’t work as everyone else had been served. They would’ve been nearly finished when mine arrived. Her solution was to scrap the order all together, but I came to a restaurant to eat. That wasn’t a good solution, the senior server, or maybe the manager later came over and offered to compensate for the steaks and provided a discount, which is really good of him, the chips could’ve been triple cooked for that crispy restaurant feel they suspiciously look like they may have come out of a packet also . After we complained about the steaks, we didn’t receive any additional service. We had to request a desert menu, being gluten-free. I asked what was gluten-free on the menu. I was told nothing it’s not completely unusual but usually you’re offered either ice cream or sorbet. We had the feeling that we were no longer wanted so forfeited the deserts for our table of five, asked for the bill and left, one of our diners was in a wheelchair, no point did anyone offer to open the door so we navigate of the double doors ourselves and left disappointed . Positively the cocktails and the beers were delicious. My recommendation would be hire some staff that smile or are attentive, become a bar and do what you are good at. This used to be one of my husband’s favourite restaurants in Southend. I’m not sure will visit again though. Bad times!

Really disappointing as the place seems to have gone in rapid decline - why do you only seem to stock hampers for everything? E wonderful selection of cheeses in the filled cabinet has been replaced by tacky gift hampers and boxes - it’s feels like a Christmas stall. While the deli food is still pretty amazing and very tasty - the truly delicious Dirty Rueben is worth every single penny, the homemade lasagne (both beef and vegetable) is great and the cheeses and antipasti never disappoint, but it’s become hugely overpriced and service has declined too, it’s not friendly. Some staff are, but some means I won’t enter so I don’t have a row about the sour faces! Dark haired young lady with wonderful body art tattoos - smile, or get a new job where you don’t need to face customers. I hear her be aggressive to other team and NEVER EVER is welcoming. Almost a deterrent. I remember when I’d have conversations with the teams years ago and chat about the days while filling the basket with wonderful foods, those days are gone. A huge shame, as it is good food, but ditch the hampers all year round, and tell the team to smile.
