The best restaurants in Ventnor East Isle of Wight South East

Having eaten here 2 nights. The food standard was excellent both nights. The ambience in the restaurant would be better with more clients. The service on both evenings was attentive without being intrusive.. The trout small plate was delightful in taste and presentation. The lamb and duck dishes were cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. Both dishes were well balanced and filling. The cod dish was very filling and an unusual presentation of cod and crab. The meal was complete with great champagne and wine without a need for a pudding! Compliments to the kitchen brigade and waiting staff

Pictures don’t do this hotel justice. It’s absolutely stunning inside and out! We had a fantastic stay! The breakfast was excellent and the hotel facilities were great. Thank you Hillside Hotel we can’t wait to return.

A fabulously creative selection of choices as well as a full English option. All cooked to order and fresh, the quality was superb and the staff friendly and knowledgeable about the menu ingredients. Good coffee too - not an easy thing to find.

We went for a coffee and were tempted by the freshly baked cheese scones. Definitely the best we have had and would highly recommend!

We arrived at 3.30pm for tea and light snacks en route back to our holiday cottage. 4 adults and two dogs. We were at first impressed by the lovely views and sat down to peruse the menu. A man called Paul arrived at our table and immediately looked at his watch and said you having got a lot of time to order any food , I enquired what the last time for ordering food was and he said he would have preferred we had arrived earlier, as 4pm was the sort of time they wanted to stop food. We were there at 3.30pm prepared to spend about £50.00 with snacks and drinks but his face looked angry as he shrugged his shoulders when I reminded him it was only 3.30pm. So annoyed at their overpriced snacks and tea at £2.80 per person we decided that this establishment did not warrant our custom or money beyond a drink as I was with my 82 year old relatives who needed a drink. We had the tea and left. Paul if your cafe is doing so well that you can turn trade away then thank god you have a view as there would be nothing else to bring tourists to your cafe / team room. Give this place a miss , they don’t need the custom and your not missing anything either.

Pleasantly surprised on our first visit to this restaurant, the service was excellent and the staff were on point and overall a very good night out. The sourdough pizzas were very good a long with the starters and salads that our group had and I doubt it will be our last visit either.

Good size meals, especially breakfasts. Good cuppa, no frills just true value, friendly staff. I would visit again and recommend this café.

We ordered 2 breakfasts and lattes, these were very good and tasty. Friendly staff and ambience good, only marked down as the seating appeared to be made of pallet type wood, so could snag on clothes or give splinters....

This place is a godsend for parents looking to entertain little ones on a wet day. Lots of toys, soft blocks to climb, and hot coffee for parents! I have a 3 yr and 1 yr old - and they were both happy for a good hour and a half.

Nice pub, good service hope it does well

The portions are always generous and the variety of the menu along with the quality of the food is top notch. If you want old school cafe vibes and options of halal then this is One of the Top 3 Best Cafes in the whole borough in my opinion.

Come here for the steak, desserts, wine and personal service from the owner. One of the better places to dine in Ventnor. Be sure to phone ahead as they only open a few tables at a time.

As someone who live to the rear of this bar I and many others have complained about the excessive noise, anti social behaviour, drunks flowing into the rear car park as if it part of the bar's property . They also use the car to park their vehicles as if their own yard without paying for a ticket. The children's slide and climbing area (if approved) is monitored from a distance! With all the anti social behaviour around this area the owners do nothing to help improve it; especially the noise polution this bar and it's clientele create! The "new. Management " promotion is a joke! Just the same anti social crowd! No respect for any neighbour even after the recent "noise complaint" raised with the council! Close the place as it should not have rear access / facilities within a residential area! Gives Ventnor a bad image!

Fab lasagne, as always. Really friendly staff.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. This place does look a bit jaded but don't let that out you off.. Our food was absolutely delicious
