The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

Living nearby we are always on the look out for a new restaurant to add to our list of eating out places. My husband booked the Table for my birthday meal. First impressions were good, bright, fresh, clean and welcoming. With a lovely well stocked bar, a cocktail before dinner was most enjoyable. As for the meal itself it was a mixture of highs and lows. Possibly some of the staff are new to their jobs. The wine was opened and poured without being offered the chance to try, the waiter looked surprised when my husband said he would like to try it first. We had to ask for bread, but when it arrived, still warm, possibly home made, it was served with a delicious olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic dip. One of our guests first requested choice of starter was unavailable, as the restaurant was almost empty this was a surprise as I can’t imagine they had run out. I had a starter of mackerel, in my opinion this should have been thinly sliced as the gin cure hadn’t penetrated the fish completely so was a little chewy. But was still edible. A main course of whole plaice, or possibly sole, was pleasant but so undistinguished I can’t remember what fish it was! It was though bordering on the over salted side, but as someone who chooses not to use a great deal of salt this could be a personal choice. Served with what was listed as a Greek salad, although with the addition of mint rather than oregano, it was very tasty nevertheless. My husband had told them it was my birthday but alas no decorated birthday wishes plate, or even a candle in a sweet was offered. Overall a pleasant evening with friends, but I doubt we will be adding The Table to our list of restaurants to return to.

Delishes roast dinner, lovely staff and atmosphere. I would highly recommended.

The service was excellent. The food was good. We have a child with allergies and the staff including the owner, were so careful and considerate. We were very grateful and had a very enjoyable lunch.

Got a takeaway yesterday & it was really good. Onion bhaji's were great; not at all greasy like some can be & full of flavour. Both chicken main courses (balti & roghan josh) had succulent chicken & tasty sauces. A really good takeaway

They're pretty much my go-to place for pizza. Been using them sporadically for over 10 years now, and I only have good things to say about their food. The online ordering system is super convenient and they deliver very quickly.

Lovely customer service Ty Great food! 🤠

Visited without booking but it wasn't that busy and after checking they offered a table. Drinks were good and we had a free pint as one had been pulled for another customer but not required. We were warned that the food might be a while but it turned up sooner than expected. Two of the meals were good but the scampi & chips was more of a child's portion and not that hot such that the food was cold before it was finished. We ordered a dessert but after, say, 20 minutes it hadn't arrived nor had our plates been cleared so we cancelled it and settled up. The staff were friendly and felt like they were trying but the system seemed muddled and inefficient. So a mixed experience and a score that reflects that.

Beefeater, you get what you expect which is good food, reasonably priced and a great atmosphere. Special mention for Bailey the Barman, what a guy! If I ran a bar he would be first on my list of appointments, superb service and quick too!

Very warm greeting, lovely atmosphere, very relaxed & beautiful tasting food, piping hot. Best Indian restaurant we have eaten at in a few years. 100% recommend to all. If it’s not on the menu, they will bend over backwards to create your dish. Thank you to Abdul 👍

Not bad , we came on a Friday afternoon and got a few drinks and some cheese chips , I think for the price I would want some more chips but apart from that they where nice

Lovely place to come for food, service is quick and the food was piping hot and very tasty. Definitely recommend a visit.

I ordered online for my food to be delivered at 9pm...21:00....at 6.20pm I had a knock at my door. My order bei g delivered 2 hours and 40 mins early..and it was warm. Not hot . Warm Disgusting. Photo attached is of my order where it clearly shows 21:00

Now called the Curry Leaf. We enjoy a takeaway a once or twice a month and decided to try somewhere we've not been before. The meal that we ordered for collection was ready on time - and after that it all went downhill. The poppodoms were soft and very stale. The butter naan was small and doughy. My husband chose the Curry Leaf Special described as a 'surf and turf delight'. For £14.50, he had a dry and tasteless dish with a small amount of shredded meat and some very small frozen prawns, definitely not king prawns as advertised. He only managed to eat half which was just as well because he felt quite ill afterwards. The chicken in my rogan was well cooked but there were only five pieces in the whole dish which was quite salty. In all, a very disappointing experience and a restaurant that we won't be frequenting again.

Well stocked deli, located close to the ferry, and full of interesting, and very enjoyable produce. We can definitely recommend the quality wholemeal bread, as well as the pastries and particularly the cheesecake, and the delicious range of Pork pies. We loved the shop, and the staff were helpful - great customer service.
