Called in on spec, salivating for a fresh crab sandwich. The service at the Quarterdeck is impeccable and attentive, but sadly the crab sandwich tasted and looked like crab mixed with Heinz Sandwich Spread. An interesting enough recipe, but all I wanted was some (okay, a lot of) fresh crab between two slices of bread.

All six of our tapas dishes were very good though as they were brought out together some went cold. When I gave this feedback I was told I could have asked for them to come separately, it would be a good idea to ask people in advance. We had incorrectly assumed that they would come out one by one. We shared an expresso creme brulee which was so good but the cinnamon donuts had zero cinnamon in them and were pretty awful, just lumps of dough. All in all it was a very good meal and it's a pleasant cafe style restaurant with a good view of the harbour. The wine though has a high mark up, the pinot grigio we had cost £19 and tasted like a £5 bottle. Would it not be possible to improve the quality? An extra couple of pounds spent would go a long way. The wine was just about drinkable. We paid £65 before tip. It was the first cold evening we have had and there is quite a draught in the window seats. It was an enjoyable evening and the waiters do their bestWe are delighted that you enjoyed your tapas dishes and creme brulee and appreciate your feedback regarding the timings of your dishes. We do typically serve everything at once unless someone asks otherwise but will bear this in mind going forward. We were sorry to hear that your donuts were not quite so good. This is a suprise as they are usually delicious so can only apologise that they were not so during your visit. Please do always tell your server if something is not right - we would have been happy to replace them. As regards the wine, once again we would have been happy to offer you an alternative if you were not happy.

I booked a table by phone and was surprised to find the Pub restaurant almost empty. We were worried whether this was because the food was not up to much but were in for a surprise.The roast lamb with vegetables we ordered was lovely and rich, very tasty.Quite a different experience from other Sunday roasts in town recently, which haven't been up to scratch one way or another, from lukewarm or uncrispy roast potatoes or swimming in gravy.We found out later that the Pub had only just restarted offering Sunday lunches.Definitely worth another visit or two.

Relaxed dining beside The Moor in the heart of Falmouth. Independently run bistro, offering freshly prepared, homemade pizza, pasta, Cornish seafood and home made ice-creams. Lunchtime snacks to take away include homemade focaccia and deep base pizzas. A

The best pizza I've ever eaten outside of Italy. Light thin base and lovely fresh topping, followed by a wonderful pannacotta. Polite and attentive staff with bonus points to the waitress for asking whether we wanted our coffees after the dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's understandably popular, so you would have to make a reservation.

New owners but still providing a very good quality dining experience and service. Ceri looked after us very well and explained the dishes and how she and Matthew had taken over from Ken and Wendy who should be pleased their hard work to establish Olivers has not been wasted. We had booked a month ahead of our visit to Falmouth as we know from past experience that the restaurant is very popular and the Saturday we ate it was full and were turning people away. The food was as good as ever with very original touches. We had mackerel riillettes, scallops starters, hake, duo of pork for mains and a stem ginger panna cotta which was brilliant. The wines by the glass were delicious and the small bottle of prosecco was a great way of getting a single glass of fizz. Very good luck to this young couple's adventure

Iâve just got back from a lovely evening in Cave. I couldnât fault it in any way. The food was great - lovely flavours, textures and surprisingly subtle for French food which I sometimes find a little overpowering in terms of salt and garlic. Wonderful service which was not too overbearing but quietly helpful and slightly interested in us as diners. I loved the ambience created by the lighting which is perfect for anyone over 40 and I didnât have any problem reading the menu despite being 60. I would definitely visit again.

We didn't want to dine here this trip so we opted for afternoon tea. The location is wonderful with views across the bay. The food was excellent, the cheese scones probably the best ever, with plenty of cream cheese and pickle. Lots of cream for the sweet scone as well, not that I could remember which order for jam and cream in Cornwall! Good choice of cakes.Several comments about staff, we had no issues, met our requests to amend the selection of cakes quite happily.All in all a very lovely afternoon tea, and good value

The dining room has a calm and cool Mediterranean atmosphere with a mosaic floor and tongue and groove walls. It has a terrace on two sides, where lunch, drinks and candlelit dinners are served in the summer, and whenever the temperate climate allows.

Visited the T for their weekend BBQ. 3pm sitting, every table booked, anticipation building!The buffet of salads and starters was fresh and delicious. Smoked salmon and capers, chilled shell-on king prawns, oysters on the half shell, fresh breads, 5 or 6 salads, fresh coleslaw, fresh celeriac remoulade and numerous sauces and dressings. The BBQ offering was similarly impressive. Tasty bangers, lamb chops, the finest-cut minute steaks Iâve ever seen cooked to your preference over the coals, corn cobs... delicious.Choice of three tasty mini desserts to finish.All of the above as many times as you like. Dear TJF1976Thank you for taking the time to review the hotel after your Summer BBQ with us. We are delighted that you enjoyed your afternoon, the BBQ's are a wonderful way to spend a lazy summer afternoon with friends and/or family, grazing merrily on the freshly prepared salads, seafood and hot items from the grill with a nice bottle of wine or a Tresanton cocktail to quaff! We will hope to see you again in the future! With best regards, Karen and the team.

Wow, what an amazing birthday treat!! Hubby and I enjoyed the 8 course tasting menu and each course was a delicious work of art. It was almost painful to cut into the beautiful spectacle on the plate in order to eat it, but each mouthful was divine.I would echo other reviewers in that the male maitre-dâ came across as supercilious which is a shame; and is certainly out of place in a modern restaurant. He should follow the example of the waitresses who all managed to be efficient yet friendly and helpful. Thankfully this was just one employee with a poor attitude so I would have no problem in recommending this restaurant.Thank you, I am so pleased you enjoyed your experience but disappointed with your comment on our Restaurant Manager with whom I will obviously discuss your views. I do hope we will see you again.
