Truly a stand out in Cornwall & St Ives. From start to finish the quality is second to none. Great flavours, great choice, great ambience. An abundance of wine with the knowledge behind it to add to an amazing dinner. 10/10 would recommend

A perfect spot down by Porthmeor beach. Delicious coffee and cake, and in the evening a very cool wine bar and dinner service. We had a few perfectly prepared plates, alongside a great bottle of red recommended by Charlie.
