The Waterside in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Disfrutamos mucho de la comida aquí la semana pasada después de volver a Flushing de Falmouth en el ferry. Éramos los únicos en el restaurante, pero nos encontramos con un agradable, aunque ligeramente bienvenida reservada. Gran selección de mariscos con king Harry mejillones, una bouillabaisse, curry de pescado y marisco, así como pescado y patatas fritas y otras opciones. Nos encantó el hecho nuestro hijo de 7 años no fue presentada con un menú para niños de pizza, croquetas de pollo, etc. y pude elegir del menú principal o entrante. Ella escogió el plato de mejillones como el plato principal, y también disfrutamos de la bouillabaisse, que estaba lleno de peces y ella pescado. El pescado y las patatas fritas eran también excelente. También comimos en las siete estrellas y mi marido y mi hija también probamos el Royal Standard, que me dijeron que era excelente. El Waterside es más caro que tanto pero definitivamente vale la pena una visita.

Fuimos aquí una noche de entrada en Flushing así que no puedo comparar con los otros restaurantes aquí. Aunque es una gran ubicación y buen ambiente el personal era bastante brusco y le faltaba un sentido del humor. La comida estaba bien presentada pero no había la variedad de platos de pescado que esperaba dada la reputación y la ubicación. En general, fue una experiencia muy normal y es bastante caro para lo que teníamos.

No sólo excelente enfoque - especialmente pescar justo - como esperábamos, pero muy agradable de comida por el personal y gran aliento a nuestros niños pequeños (2 en un grupo de 9).Bill muy razonables y servicio totalmente en línea con nuestro (relativamente rápido debido a los niños) necesita. café fuera también era bueno.

Reservamos en durante su estancia en una casa en Flushing. entorno impresionante y vistas. Dado el grueso de TripAdvisor, teníamos expectativas altas para una comida estupenda. alegre atmósfera informal, cerveza, sidra y café. Teniendo en cuenta este restaurante está justo en el agua, teníamos expectativas altas del marisco. mejillones, Pollock, y estilo mediterráneo pescado cocido fueron generalmente aburrida. El aspecto más molestaba de esta experiencia es que cuando pregunté si " todo estaba bien?» al final de la comida nos dijo que no, y ofreció retroinformación constructiva pero la actitud de chefs ( tomó la factura) era "no gracias, que puedes ganar algunos, pierdes algunos" o palabras a ese efecto. Dado lo positivo TripAdvisor comentarios me chocó en esta respuesta. Aparte de una vez me olvidó té helado, no comimos en el Waterside para el resto de nuestra estancia, disfrutando buenas comidas en las siete estrellas y Royal Standard. Sé que la atención al cliente no siempre es justo pero por favor por lo menos la voluntad de entender y escuchar las vistas del cliente - clientes perdonaré la bajada rara si sus intenciones encontrado como honorables. Estoy poniendo nuestra experiencia a "un mal día en la oficina" y con ganas de probar el Waterside otra vez el próximo año.

Nos alojamos en una cabaña Flushing, muelle, 2 minutos. Fuimos allí dos veces para cenar como una familia de tres (42,41,13 ) y una vez para el té y scones. es predominantemente peces pero también tienen un par de otras opciones en el menú.Nos quedamos encantados con la comida y el servicio que recibimos, representaba una buena relación calidad-precio para la calidad de la comida que se sirve. Recomiendo encarecidamente, nos encantó

We stopped here for lunch, food was excellent and those little extras and attention to detail was much appreciated. Great location! And at last a place that served builders tea

We had two great family meals here while staying in Flushing. Fab location - ask for a booth and you really feel like you are on a river boat! Really friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and a good selection on the menu including daily specials. We can highly recommend the steak main course and the daily special fish fillet - both excellent. It was a pleasant surprise to find such good food within walking distance - we will be back next year!

This is the best "the Quay" has been in many many years, a real return to form. The fish is always the main to go for and on this occasion it was a perfectly cooked hake fillet.

Lovely fresh fish, largest piece of Haddock I have seen in a long time. Good choice on menu and specials board (Camel Valley sparkling). Excellent service. Will be back for more, the seafood platter sounds delightful.

We didn't think this looked too promising when we first drove up but further investigation proved us wrong. We sat at a table outside and enjoyed a drink while watching the ferry going backwards and forwards The menu at the Waterside has many tempting offerrings with an emphasis on fish. The host was very welcoming and helpful and although we were not able to stay for dinner that day its on our BIG "to do" list when we are in Cornwall later in the year. The breakfast menu looks fantastic.

Today our party of nine enjoyed lunch at The Waterside Resturant in Flushing. Everything was perfect made more so by the attention of waitress Annie and the company of Paul, the owner. Paul has revived the fortunes of this place and through his efforts he deserves to succeed. It's well worth a visit.

Fantastic meal here on Saturday, the Hake was superb and my wife loved the Paella.Very friendly staff and being on the quay you actually felt like you were on the water. We have added The Waterside to one of our favourites and will be back very soon

Good food, friendly and efficient service. I went there for lunch with a large group. We were welcomed and promptly made comfortable. I had a fish stew, which was excellent. Others were very pleased with their assorted fish dishes. Deserts and local cheeses also highly recommended. Wonderful waterside views in both directions.

I would just like to say I went on a Thursday when they have a special on which was a paella wow.. which I can honestly say it tasted amazing the flavour was great the fish came off the boat that day I just wish I live closer nice location over looking the harbour and they have a great wine list and really helpful staff can't wait to go back... Thanks again guys Tobi and Lou xx..

This charming and original restaurant is particularly strong on local and fresh fish. The menu changes each day according to the catch. We had scallops in their shells with dashes of sausage and salad and delicious home cooked fish cakes followed by hake with spinach and a lovely paella (hardly any rice and mainly fish). Lemon posset followed as did a tray of yummy local cheeses. John is a friendly manager who manages to make you feel at home and makes helpful suggestions on the ever evolving wine list.

We were warmly welcomed by John the manager and shown to our table which had a fantastic waterside view. My husband started with home made leek and potato soup - a glass of red wine for me. The beef and ale pie was tender and tasty - my husband's choice. I had the delicious fishcakes. Scrummy puds to follow. A great meal, fantastic location and very welcoming staff.

we go to this restaurant regularly as the menu changes frequently according to what's in season and what's been caught fresh that day. The fish is local and it's very well priced.

We stopped for a lunchtime drink and a snack in the middle of a long walk on a cold day. The place was almost empty but the owner was friendly and welcoming and we had a lovely lunch. Would definitely return if in the area as we felt like valued customers even though we didn't spend much.

Delicious & varied seafood dishes, relaxed atmosphere and great service. We have visited this restaurant twice (so far) and thouroughly enjoyed both meals, particularly the scallops & hogs pudding. There is no children's menu but you can order a child's size meal from the menu.

Visited Cornwall to see friends and came to the Waterside around this time last year and had a wonderful meal - the food was really delicious and the choice amazing! So I came back again with some friends and I have to say I was really disappointed. The menu was a lot more limited and there wasn't anything that special so went for fish and chips in the end. The meal was nice but nothing amazing. Not sure what has happened since I last came but a bit of a shame as the location is fabulous. Will come again next time I'm in Cornwall but more for a quick lunchtime bite than for a meal in the evenings I think. Sorry Waterside!

What a warm and friendly welcome. Went with my partner for a meal never been before but will be going back very soon. The staff where excellent, food was i cant find the words just wow. The Waterside is small but would recommend any day if its just a romantic evening or a group they will look after you. You must go.

It's an unexpected find, occupying a prominant location on Flushing quayside. I have visited twice, and it's an ideal place to relax, take in the views, and enjoy good food.We had scallops with hogs pudding, followed by Szechuan Crab, which was one of the daily specials; a whole cooked crab served with a Chinese inspired jus, a side of green salad and fries. The service was friendly; emerging from the kitchen, the waiter warned us that our crabs "look like real beasts" and reassured us that they were open till 11pm if we needed extra time to finish them off! They were big, and had a lovely fresh sea-salt aroma. We made quite a mess cracking open the claws and picking out the meat, and it was very enjoyable.There is a good choice from the boards, and the drinks were reasonably priced, but we were too full-up to try a desert. Maybe next time.

Just came back from a week in Flushing and after eating our meal at the Waterside on the first evening enjoyed it so much we came back twice more before the end of the week. The people are nice, we liked the fact the menu changed each time - we had a great meal every time. The scallops were fab as was the crab crostini and we thought the prices were reasonable. The views from our table were lovely, we thought we were on a boat at times. Plus they are dog friendly and you can eat inside with your pet - bonus!

On a recent trip to Cornwall, staying in Flushing, we decided to try out the Waterside Restaurant, which is on the Quay side and were extremely impressed.The atmosphere was great, service second to none, and the food excellent with a wide choice of Starters and Mains - not sure about Deserts as we were too full to attempt them. We went on three visits during our stay, and without a doubt, it was the best restaurant we had visited in the area, and had tried quite a number!A truly, reasonably priced Restaurant, well worth a visit - we will certainly go back.

This was our second visit to Flushing so we thought we would try the Waterside and we were not disappointed. We were seated promptly to a booth with a wonderful view of the river. The menu was limited but with excellent choices, mainly fish, but we were not hurried in our choices. The food was freshly cooked and tasted very good. Everything was reasonably priced from the food to the wine and the port with our cheeses. The service was attentive yet respectful of needing space to decide. Background music set the scne for a delightful evening.

We were made very welcome from the moment we initially inquired for a booking. On arrival we were shown to our table with a lovely view of the village (attached). I'd noticed a cask of local beer and ordered a pint. Although unfortunately the cask was empty, the moment was well handled with good humour. Food was fresh and very well prepared. I recommend the scallops served on hogs pudding, a local variation on the black pudding, but more peppery with sausage meat. Both main course fish dishes were also first class. I'd recommend booking and one final comment - dogs are also welcome if accompanied by well trained adults

This was a very good place for an impromptu lunch.The staff were very helpful although the service was rather slow but we weren't in a hurry so it didn't matter on this occasion. The menu is very varied and food is fresh. We had very good scallops as a starter and a main in monkfish and scallop kebabs. The crab sald was a disappointing little pile of crab meat in a dressing.The views are very pretty.

My husband and I and our two children had lunch here and were disappointed with the food and attitude of the chef/owner. The moules marienere were just mussels in cream without any garlic or seasoning and after eating just two I sent them back to the kitchen. I was not offered a replacement dish and the chef did not think to come out and discuss with me why I was dissatisfied with the retrured dish. However, my husband did note that several of the kitchen staff had time to peer through the galley style window to see who had returned the dish. When the bill arrived I was shocked to see that the starter I had returned for being sub standard had been included. When I raised this with the waiter I was told I still had to pay for it. Obviously short term gain/profit of £6.50 was worth losing future business over. For the duration of our holiday we ate at the Royal Standard where the surf and truf was £5 cheaper and of much better quality. The Royal Standard staff have a great attitude to customer service that leaves the Waterside wanting.

We arrived on the Saturday to mixed weather. Having previously visited Flushing we knew this long stone hut, that isn't much to look at from the outside, is a gem and a great place to eat in with wonderful views of the river from both sides, that's if the fishing boat doesn't come in!We booked a table that night for Sunday lunch time and as we know from last year it can get rather busy. If the ferry isn't working it is only around 10 minutes drive around to Falmouth. The food was served prompt and well presented with good sized portions.My crab claws starter was a little too cold for my liking, I would have preferred them to have been cooked fresh rather than obviously been re cooked and then taken direct from the fridge.Our three main courses were good and very filling so no room for a pudding sadly.

Visited with my husband on our first night of a week in fabulous Flushing. We'd had a quayside coffee earlier in the day, sat out in the sunshine taking in the stunning view towards Falmouth. We'd found the staff (owner?) very helpful and friendly so decided to eat there that evening.Raised booths inside give excellent views over the water to Falmouth and to Flushing. Decor is a little country-kitchen for our tastes but pleasant enough.For starter I had garlic prawns - I'd expected fewer larger ones, but they weren't bad. My husband had mackerel pate which he says was tasty but not outstanding.I had fish chowder which was quite tasty, average really, but my husband's fish (hake) n chips he said were excellent and definitely recommended.Dog owners will like this place - canine friends welcome inside and out.

It was a dreary,drizzly lunchtime when we found this delightful eatery on the quay. The person who took our orders was a little reserved but pleasant and left it to Drummer, a very waggy black Labrador to welcome and charm the diners. I had scallops with hog pudding, which is a local pale spicy sausage, which was lovely and both complimented each other well. This was followed with a duo of halibut and plaice with samphire on green beans and new potatoes. Absolutely brilliant! Well cooked, a nice portion of both fish and very tasty. My wife had monkfish and scallop kebab with cassoulet and rice. Again, well prepared and the two fish presented in a more unusual way. I was not able to have my first choice of sweet but the sweet board was quite different from the usual lunchtime fair usually experienced. To comment on the ambience is unfair as it was lunchtime and very wet ouside and this is a quieter part of the Falmouth area. But it is, after all, all about the food and this was excellently prepared food from boats tied up to the quay outside. Thanks for brightening our day Waterside!

Small but utterley superb fish restaurant, located right on the waters edge where fish is still unloaded so basically much of what they cook goes from boat to kitchen in seconds. Don't be put off by the outside as although a beautiful location the building itself is lettle more than a shed but oh what delights await you. If you don't like fish don't bother as the only concession is 1 veggie choice and a surf and turf - otherwise it is fish all the way and soooooooo wonderfully cooked and presented. Went with a party of 4. 2 had surf and turf and 2 had lemon sole. A bottle of wine, an orange juice, a coke and a glass of beer, 3 had sweets which they tell me were superb, total bill £110.00. 5 stars all round for food, service, ambience and location. There is limited parking on the quay but if you are staying in Falmouth so much more fun to get the ferry across or call up the water taxi service.Dogs Welcome

I would just like to say this is my second time to the waterside, i love the sea views you are right on the harbour any closer and you would be in the sea.. the service is friendly and attentive we even got the pleaseure of meeting the chef, the sea food we had came off of the boat that was sitting outside of the restaurant (you cannot get fresher than that!) my wife is not a big sea food fan but was well fed with some of the non-sea food options. My advice, try the chefs own Houmous and make sure you leave enough room for The home made dessert! I am heading back down to Cornwall in a few weeks so plannining on checking out the breakfast menu! thanks to all the staff at the waterside for a great night, Lou and Tobi....

A welcome re-opening of a restaurant at this location. Food good, and a reasonable menu rotation, with fresh/local fish (and other produce) well represented. Friendly and knowledgeable staff who seem to care about what they are doing. From time to time proper beer. When the weather is right, the outside seating is a great boon. I'm a bit uncertain about the dog issue, but if you want your dog to join you in the restaurant, it must be a plus. A tie up with the Flushing Ferry would be a plus, but it closes down far too early in the evening to provide convenient transport. At least there is the water taxi.

This is the first visit since the closure of the old, excellent, "Sticky Prawn" at the same location.The reception was outstanding......lots of enthusiasm, warmth and excellent service. We were delighted to be able to take our dog who is an integral member of our family and was also given a warm welcome.The six of us tried a variety of dishes. For starters, there was a big demand for the fish cakes, which were universally given a thumbs up. My wife and I shared the shell-on shrimp which while excellent, were simply too small......our guess was they were 16/20s instead of a more appropriate 8/10's, which made them almost impossible to peel.For mains, we all chose the available fish....lemon sole, plaice and halibut. All were excellent and perfectly cooked. But oh, the veg had much to be desired. Strange, undercooked potatoes that appeard to have been boiled and then quickly pan fried (?). A small bowl of mixed veg did little to inspire.As fish lovers, we shall certainly return but hope that the quality of the accompaniments improves greatly. We shall certainly try some of the advertised "standards" such as the onion soup and mussels.There is no question that the idea is right with the core menu based around fresh catches, and the excellent service certainly is a welcome plus.

We had a great Sunday lunch, choice of three different roasts with all the vegetables, as much as you could eat. Plus a wonderful rhubarb and apple crumble and a baileys cheescake. Even though the weather was atrocious the atmosphere was warm and cosy and very welcoming. Also went for a very good evening meal. We can thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic spot and lovely restaurant but very disappointed with food and service was not great.Our starters were fine and more than enough to eat but my wife and I both had different main courses which were both killed by too much and too heavy sauces.My wife had monkfish which was well cooked but its delicate taste was completely overpowered by rich spicy sauce.My stir fry chicken was also coated in a sweet chilli sauce which was too much.The waitress took our dishes away and made a comment about the rich sauce but then did not come back to offer desert or coffee!! Our waiter was very friendly but overall will not return

I've been here a few times now and I'm never let down by the quality of the food and the atmosphere. I love the morning bacon sandwiches on a soft white roll with butter... hungry thinking about it!Can't wait to find an excuse to go for an evening meal!

What a lovely warm welcome on a cool March evening. We are so pleased that we discovered this little gem of a restaurant, which is right on the water's edge in Flushing. The food was superb - we thoroughly enjoyed the locally caught fish & fresh veg, followed by a delicious chocolate torte - accompanied by a glass or two of wine for me and some local beer for my husband! We are only sorry that we shall not be there for the Oyster & Fish Festival later on this month. Many thanks to John, Vincent and Paul - we shall be back!

I would just like to say wow the food was amazing and a great selection of fish and meat dishes good food and affordable and lovely atmosphere felt very relaxed and beautiful surroundings would highly recommend and will be going back, Thanks for a great night..Tobi Louise.

We had a lovely dinner. The meal was good quality home cooked with a nice selection of both local fish or meat dishes. The wine list was good and affordable. Warm and friendly atmosphere. Will certainly return on my next visit to Flushing.

The best meal I have had in a long time and seeing as I live in France this is saying something. There was a great choice of delicious food! For starters we had prawns in garlic sauce which were caught that afternoon! It was delicious, my friend and i spent ages enjoying each and everyone! We then chose the cod and garlic mashed potato with crushed black olives and the flavours were amazing. To finish off I had the baileys cheesecake which came with vanilla ice cream and it was the perfect finish to a lovely meal. The environment is lovely and cosy and the service is great and the staff are delightful and very friendly... i know the first place i'll be heading when i next return to Cornwall!

We came here for lunch on a Saturday in December on the strength of some of the great reviews on this site. However, the restaurant was empty, very cold (we did not take our coats off) and the menu was not at all like that advertised on the website. We had wanted a light lunch and there was a lot that was not available. Both the food and service were very average.

The breakfast I had here was by far the worst I’ve had in Falmouth. Cheap white bread for toast, sausages that were tough from being kept hot for too long, tired fried potatoes and the skin left on the hogs pudding, all heaped onto the plate. It was relatively cheap, so more a spot to take on fuel than enjoy a quality breakfast.

I regularly visit the water side they have a great atmosphere there and are really friendly, good prices for the quality of the local produce and the flavors that they bring to light in there delicious meals. I even go there for a quick take away cup of coffie, bacon and egg bap when im workin over flushing in the mornings its really handy and very delicious.

We sat in the sun, surrounded by the sea and these old granite walls. The food was excellent and good value, the service was good too!

I went with my family of 10 for my husbands 60th Birthday, we had a fantastic evening, they knew my 2 year old grandaughter would be with us, and they made sure there was a highchair crayons and colouring book.Nothing was to much trouble, food was excellent, and staff were very friendly.

We had Sunday lunch at Waterside. The food was excellent (we had the Sunday roast, which was also very good value) with decent portions and plenty of veg. Very good homemade puddings. Good, if short, wine list. Staff were friendly and helpful, and setting is lovely - an old net loft on the quay with views of the harbour. Definitely recommended!

Had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch, food was lovely and good sized portions, and friendly helpful staff. Local quality food at reasonable prices with lots of local fish on the menu. Thought the kids meals were very good value too. Will definitely be trying again, a nice place to go for lunch, dinner or afternoon tea. Would highly recommend.

I happened upon 'Waterside' whilst on holiday with my family, I understand that they had only just opened and decided to take a chance as the menu looked very enticing. In fact it was so enticing we ended up having three courses. The local ingredients were prepared to perfection. I had the scallops to start, fantastic, followed by the catch of the day, haddock, in a bag, divine, and managed to share a lemon tart, raptures. My family all had different meals and equally enjoyed their food. We live in London and eat out often. This was by far the best meal we've had in years. This, combined with the great atmosphere, service and location make it a must when in Cornwall.We go to Cornwall several times a year and will definitely return to 'Waterside' at the soonest opportunity. I can't wait.This is 5 star +++

Went for an evening meal at the newly opened Waterside with family. Just love the cosy atmostphere and friendly welcome! Had a lovely meal and the scallops and fish in the bag were just delicious! Great menu and lots of yummy choices. Had such a lovely evening and what a location! Will be back soon!

Newly opened, this restaurant has gone for local food, including fresh fish and shellfish. I had a lovely meal (the tarragon sauce was fantastic).... lovely atmosphere and I was allowed to take my dog - who was supplied with dog treats from behind the bar!A thoroughly brilliant evening and we have since been for homemade cakes and morning coffee but they are also open for breakfast at the weekends and lunches daily - try it!
