    Tourist trap. Greasy calamari, tasteless frozen chips, overcooked fish, disinterested staff, complained and was told we should have complained earlier!!!! No one else had complained, so tough, staff really not bothered, guess it doesn’t matter as the tourists keep on coming, I certainly won’t return and wouldn’t recommend. So disappointing, how hard can it be to make decent chips when you operate a chippy🙄

    Delicious food and an amazing view from a window seat. Big portions for both adult and kids meals. The waitress who was only on her 3rd shift was excellent, really attentive and chatty, I think her band was Leilani! We always visit The Loft when we come go St Ives, and once again it did not disappoint. Thank you!

    Nice, friendly place at the waterfront. The fish wasn’t really fresh and everything was drenched in butter.

    We had a lovely dinner and the service was great. We wanted to get in the road before sundown and our server found some takeaway cups to allow us to have coffee for our drive.

    This was our third time at the restaurant. Emma, who looked after us, recognised us, we love the food, atmosphere, and staff. My favourite restaurant and I would highly recommend it 😊
