Dinner.
Within a Grade II listed 15th century fisherman’s cottage overlooking the harbour and the sea.
There's not many decent restaurants open on a Monday night,unusually this is.
Bookings are either 6.00pm or 8.30pm.
The earlier time slot was full and we managed to get in for the later time.
It is basically two sittings, as it's a very small restaurant with only 8 tables. Whatever you do,don't arrive early as they will not let you in until your time.
Of course we were early and had a drink in the pub opposite anxiously waiting for the door to open.
When booking,we thought it looked cheap at £95 a head for a One Michelin Star restaurant.
Having a second look at our reservation,we realised it was for a sharing menu.
So, it's a tasting menu to share and you get to chose off what's called 'When the boat comes in' board for the main course. Which is the catch of the day.
You start off with 3 nibbles,Scallop tartare,cured monkfish,smoked trout with warm bread and butter.
Followed by 3 seafood plates,Crab & heritage tomatoes,a nice peice of Bass and a breaded Hake.
From the board we chose the Turbot on the bone.
Cooked to perfection with a beautiful butter and herb sauce,served with a fresh anchovy and tomato salad.
Looking round at the other tables,everyone else had chosen the lobster. Well we like to be different,and Lobster is a little overated in our opinion anyway.
Dessert was a refreshing strawberry and elderflower cream with an oat crumble.
The food is simple, but yet effective and delicious.
Staff are very friendly and professional.
We were all done and dusted in the space of two hours,from start to finish.
It didn't feel rushed,it's just a very slick service.
Would we return? Yes, in a heartbeat.
