36 On The Quay Restaurant with Rooms

Visited for Anniversary meal. We have been here a few times before- in the earlier days when it had an M star it was fantastic but sadly declined. Having not been for a few years and noting under new ownership we had high hopes but very disappointed. We had the very expensive tasting menu which was all style and no substance. The combinations just didn't work, bland and flavourless and I had to send my halibut back as was completely raw inside. The lamb cutlet was nearing on raw and the fat not rendered down so chewy and greasy. The pre-dessert and dessert were like something from a children's party! Up your game and stop relying a reputation from years past. If you're going to provide a taster menu and charge those prices then do it with love and care. Can't express how disappointed we were and shall not be returning.

Taken for Sunday lunch to celebrate my 90th birthday. Very disapointed with food. Started with trout which was served raw so not eaten. Main meal served just warm and meat piled on top of roast poatoes and veg so that they were soggy. Choice of suits very poor, no friut or ice cream dishes. No serviettes or salt and pepper on the table. Did not stop for coffees ! Would not recommend this establishment.

We went for lunch today 28th August 2025. It was a really lovely dining experience, so relaxed, so unrushed, so tasty and extremely well presented. Carolina was the best host, professional in every way. What a joy. Thank you. I scored the rooms but we didn't see them. However, given the wonderful lunch we have had; the whole place is spotless and tastefully decorated, I don't see that they would be much different.

Very enjoyable wine themed evening, with an accompanying 4 course meal. Lovely selection of Rhone wines presented by Alastair Gibson of Heritage Wines. The dinner was great, bar one course, the duck, which had too many sinew strands, making it very chewy - shame. It's a lovely setting in Emsworth. The service is very friendly and welcoming.

What a fantastic first visit to this amazing restaurant. A birthday celebration made extra special as we had a window table and a fantastic choice from the Al a carte menu. The staff were so friendly and attentive, and were instantly able to answer any questions about the menu. One of the party had a yeast intolerance and it appeared that the whole menu had been planned so that nothing was off limits, even the bread was sourdough. What a special place, can’t wait to find a reason to go back.

Went for over night stay and the tasting menu at the restaurant. Very warm welcome, everything spotlessly clean. Lovely room with fantastic views over the harbour. Did I say warm welcome and spotless. Food was outstanding as well. Menu varied and truly excellent. Continental breakfast in the morning was lovely. Service excellent throughout and I think it was all reasonably priced. What a find, we will be back.

Brilliant Food! One of the best meals of my life! We got the scallops from the a la carte menu and combined that with the set menu and were throughly happy with service (Sofia, our server was excellent!) and quality of food as well as the generous serving size. The smoked duck was just delicious! The gazpacho too was a delight- the Skate had been deboned so no messing around with bones! I ordered the Fillet of Hake and was blown away by the sauces. The food ate well separately as well as with different combinations. My brother got the Korean BBQ and the puffed corn on this was a fabulous surprise! The roasted scallops had an amazing peach-chilli zing. And save space for desserts! So delicious and super tasty. The dishes are delightful, imaginative and delicious. Definitely recommend making a booking to eat here.

We went to the restaurant but didn't stay at the hotel. Food and drink was simply superb. Highly recommended.
