The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

Perfect spot for a drink, lovely lunch or coffee by the sea. Super friendly staff. Amazing croissants! Seating inside and out.

The building stood out among the run down shop fronts, it must be haunted with the age of the place, it definitely drew me in, lovely girl on the bar, we managed to get in just before they stopped serving food, I had the Tag Bol (Tagliatelle Bolognese) and my partner had the Steak and Ale pie, proper home made grub, reasonably priced and they even offer light bite portion options on some of the meals, a place I won't forget and hope to revisit.

Booked in for friday lunch which was excellent. Good choices for all courses, and our food was freshly cooked, well presented and tasted wonderful. The service was prompt and pleasant, and the atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. Can highly recommend and look forward to another visit.

The service was very terrible I wanted to place a order but I was ignored like a ghost The members of staff are not competent at all I was very disappointed

We had a good night at Flanagan's to celebrate one of our friends birthdays. Kelly Burke was playing and he was fantastic as always and helped make the evening go with a swing. We all dined beforehand and, although I enjoyed my food, some of our party weren't so taken with theirs but we still all had a good time. In summary Flanagan's is a great music venue with great views of the pier and Sandown seafront and serves good reasonably priced food.

My first time trying this place. Just like Chinese and Indian food it’s westernised to cater for the western tastebuds, but I do love their fish cakes and coconut rice.

Amazing food and Hannah was lovely. Recommend this place and next time we are over on the island we will be in for food

Have been here before and been better impressed. The food was OK, quite good even but I'm not sure how good a bagel has to be to be worth £14 and I'm not sure this was it. . The service was pleasant and engaged but the tea, one de-caf, one peppermint, were a long way short of piping hot.

My family and I stayed for 3 nights over Christmas 2024, The hotel is like Downton Abbey .Stylish yet from another era .Loved the heavy brass bedroom keys .The staff and food Could not have been better . Loved the whole experience .Living on the Island I have only heard great reviews . Can highly recommend this hotel and staff .

What a lovely place. Loved the decor. Owner was really nice and chatty. We visited twice as the coffee was so good. Chocolate Cookie was really nice. I would recommend. Definitely going back in future, while on holiday.

As others have observed similarly, I thought I had time-warped back into the 1980s. Pine furniture and piped saxophone. That aside, the food was generally fine, the service efficient. It tries to be authentically Italian: the minestrone soup and penne con funghi were excellent (and piping hot) but the penne with vegetables - including sautéed potatoes - is redolent of 'meat and 2 veg' of days long gone. Quite reasonably priced though. I got the impression that the core clientele are local retired who appreciate what it has to offer and evidently bring in sufficient business. I was in the area for work and needed somewhere to eat; this was acceptable but if there's another time I would probably try somewhere else.

The food was certainly delicious in this cosy, very busy restaurant. Staff are friendly and attentive. The restaurant is small and tables close together which gives a shared experience and intimate atmosphere. Definitely a dining must, with sming faces everywhere.

As visitors to the area, we picked this fish and chip shop from reviews. It lived up to expectation. The fish was freshly cooked and the batter crisp. Chips were plentiful and the service was welcoming and friendly.

Staff were lovely but encountered which I can assume the manager and was inappropriate and unprofessional. Food is very over priced for what it is.

What an amazing experience we had for my birthday. This restaurant really is a classically typical Spanish family restaurant with that wonderful, relaxed cosy feel. We were looked after so well by the staff and with so many grandchildren, nothing was too much trouble. Now the food experience was something else with the array of tapas to start with, from fresh caught, sliced and smoked scad to stuffed squid, octopus, grilled peppers, sliced pork loin, iberico sliced ham etc etc etc to the star of the evening, besides myself, whole sucking pig and sliced rib of beef, absolutely perfectly cooked. I was with a couple of the island’s top chefs, and their reactions were to doff their caps to the kitchen. Amazing evening, thank you.
