   My wife I am do not go out much due to costs involved. This was a special treat. We both felt that the meals we had were very average. My wife has a fish meal and this included new potatoes which were not cooked throughout. The service was okay.

   Excellent food and service. We were a table of 12, everyone got their food at the same time, it was fresh and hot. Would not hesitate to recommend The Razor Clam.

   We were booked in for 7pm. Lovely greeting on arrival and checked in efficiently and shown to our table. There were 3 other tables already seated; however another 5 bookings arrived immediately after us. There was only 1 waitress in evidence, who clearly couldn’t cope. It took over 20 minutes for a drink to arrive. Food ordered and 20 minutes later starters arrived. The food was really good and good sized portions. The air conditioning was blowing cold air which made me the ambiance a little uncomfortable. Overall as the food was good and the one waitress was working flat out we were happy with our experience. Lessons to learn would be management need to be more involved with front of house and space out the bookings more when you’re light on staff!

   The restaurant at 6:30pm was empty except for me and one other person. But it is Jan, so it’s understandable, I guess. The waitress didn’t know if the duck pate was house made (it was). I ordered 3 starters: the smoked haddock chowder, garlic prawns and duck pate. All 3 were brought at the same time, forcing me to go back and forth between each dish for fear of the soup or prawns going cold. Absolutely beautiful presentation so I was excited to dive in. All 3 dishes were woefully underseasoned. I’m not a big salt user but I had to add quite a bit to each dish. The duck flavour was almost non-existent - way too much orange. The prawns had been semi-butterflied, so why weren’t they de-veined? And while they were pink, the texture of them was raw. The soup, while packed with fish and veg and lovely things, suffered in taste. I’ve not been to a restaurant where the visual of the dishes far outweighed the taste. What a shame.
