There are few restaurants in the world that can offer the splendour of Harbour Heights where the standard of food and quality of service are matched by such outstanding views.

The Amalfi View Restaurant offers an Italian themed cuisine in stylish surroundings combined with stunning harbour views. Our new menu includes freshly prepared sharing boards, light crispy pizzas, homemade pastas and risottos, plus classic style specials including steak, chicken, lamb and fish.

Open daily excluding Tuesday & Wednesday.
12noon – 3pm
6pm – 9pm

This menu will delight not only those coming to the sea to enjoy fresh fish, but also those looking for a perfect dining experience, without forgetting our vegetarian and vegan guests. If you can enjoy a tasty meal at the same time as enjoying our outstanding views of the Harbour, what could be better.

Sitting outside on the terrace, great views and ambience…. No table service at all on the outside tables… cheap table and chairs… I had the sea food spaghetti…. Was the worst I’ve ever had… zero flavour apart from the overpowering dill…. Why this was sprinkled on the dish I will never know…. Spaghetti was ridiculously overcooked as were the prawns.. this was served with a sprinkle of Parmesan already over the dish which in Italy this is a big no-no. This is not an Italian food.

While the location & view is superb, this is obviously reflected in the prices charged. I felt for what we had the food was good, but not outstanding for the price charged. Over £15 for a salad does seem a tad excessive. Not sure I would return quickly, but ambiance lovely & on a summers day, to sit outside would be a joy. Service was not exceptional, which again I would expect in a place like this.

We've eaten several times before at the Harbour Heights and have always enjoyed the food. On this occasion we were very disappointed by the choice of food on the menu (which changes from time to time and is not available beforehand on-line) and could not find a starter or dessert that either of us liked, the dessert menu in particular was limited, there were only 3 choices (other than the standard ice cream/sorbet/cheese offerings). The service was indifferent and inattentive - the waiter was not knowledgeable about the drinks and then served me with the wrong drink, part of our food order was missed and we had to ask for water top-ups etc.

We chose the Heights for my sons 18th birthday lunch and we were all extremely impressed. The food and service were both first class and of course the views are second to none. Special mention to Sol for his rendition of Happy Birthday and the birthday plate was greatly appreciated. We shall look forward to our next visit.

Nice place, good restaurant but now there is a breakfast buffet cooler (high and in a dark colour, horrible) in the restaurant and it looks like a hotel breakfast room ! and... oh, yes, we do evening meals. Food is still good (the 1st chef left in December), quality and taste.

Lovely family meal to celebrate a 21st birthday. Everyone had a different meal with plenty of food sharing and every dish was well cooked and very tasty. The staff attention was excellent

The service was very slow, it appeared that they had few staff to deal with the customers, even though the restaurant was not busy and lot of empty tables. Generally we had a wonderful meal.

Great view! Nice food! However service was slow and the amount of tea you get for the price isn’t so good
