   Great service. Food was good but felt that the Turbot special dish was overpriced. Linguine was lovely Would recommend the Grillo wine. Overall a nice visit

   We were looking online for a fish restaurant in the area & booked the Potted Lobster some weeks before our trip. The Service was just right for us, friendly & informative. The menu lived up to expectations with a great selection of lovely fish dishes. We had the hake & the lemon battered haddock which I can thoroughly recommend. Great music playlist too.

   Extensive selection of fish dishes- difficult to choose which one to have! All were very good, well cooked and presented with a nice mix of vegetables. Dessert was yummy! Very good 👍

   The restaurant had a “bad day at the office” today. The potted lobster starter was not defrosted correctly and portions of it were still hard. Several wines on the wine list were unavailable. I had the seafood linguine which was mostly pasta and very little seafood. My wife had a king prawn starter as her main course - there were only 3 prawns in the dish - very poor value. We have been loyal customers of the restaurant for several years and I have to say that if this had been our first visit, we would not be returning.

   I am not normally on to write reviews but felt obliged to. The food was fantastic, the quality was right up there with anything we have had and you certainly left with a full belly! A lovely and attentive waiting team only added to the experience, thank you 🙏

    Totally lived up to expectations. Quality seafood and lovely service. Would definitely recommend out of the three in three days that we visited Northumberland.
