2. Burr's Restaurant
Overall Ratings
5 based on 478 reviews
Alacarte restaurant in Newport offering a selection of local fish and seafood and great steaks. An upmarket restaurant with an emphasis on customer service and attention to detail with crisp linen table cloths and napkins.
Reviewed By bebe350 - Barnham, United Kingdom
We read the reviews and we chose Burr’s for a family anniversary last week.
This delightful small restaurant needs no further accolades from me. It is the tops.
The service is attentive, friendly and efficient but not intrusive with an excellent Maitre D in charge.
We chose the steaks and the rack of lamb from the comprehensive menu, all delicious and cooked to perfection.
It was an occasion to remember. We shall certainly return.

Long established, family run business, set menu, a la carte and catch of the day, fresh local seafood, steak/meat dishes, vegetarian options, special dietary needs catered for wherever possible
Reviewed By LukeCowesTannersBrook
we walked into a totally empty restaurant for lunch on a typically dead Cowes January day. The owner was extremely friendly but only supported by a very young couple of staff, who were a little out of their depth both customer service and knowledge wise.
The starters were superb, the mains were okay and the mixed veg shared between us bland and uninspiring. I was expecting to give Murrays 5/5 and want to return asap, it could easily have been 3 but the owners explanation of illness to the chef was enough for me to be generous and probably try again one evening.

Six of us had an enjoyable meal in an otherwise empty restaurant, on a night when several other restaurants in the street were rammed. So, don't be put off by the decor.

Average service, a bit slow at times. me and my friend had a bacon and brie bagette , I asked for crispy bacon and it wasn't. We waitted longer than we would of liked to. But when it arrived it was a tasty baguette, it can get busy between 11:30am and 1pm
6. New Holmwood Hotel & Restaurant

It is a restaurant in it's own right , without the hotel - a majority of bookings are from locals & non-residents
Reviewed By franc_o_fyle - Derby, England
To celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary we booked a table for ourselves and some special friends. Served by a number of staff during the evening, they were all relaxed, courteous, and engaging - as well as being themselves. All of this made for a really relaxing atmosphere.
We were able to fine tune items from the menu to suit individual tastes, and the food was exactly as we wished. All plates were empty by the time we had finished each course!

My girlfriend and I visited The Coast for the first time the other day and absolutely loved it. My girlfriend is Lactose Intolerant and they were really accommodating and went out of their way to help. We were served by Hannah and Frank who both went above and beyond! Absolutely amazing service!! Will definitely a back!

Eegon's of Cowes is a well known and legendary cafe in Cowes, Isle of Wight in England. It has a 5 Star Food and Hygiene Rating. Everyone is welcome.

Used this Cafe many times before, but the staff today where rude, unwelcoming and bordering on offensive. Will not be going again .... plenty of better cafes in Cowes. I would not give another penny to the rude female staff that served us today!

10. Sails Cafe

Reviewed By LukeCowesTannersBrook
we thought it was about time we gave Sails a visit and weren't disappointed. My sausage hot pot was superb as was the fresh roll that accompanied it. the service was friendly and prompt, my only issue was the loss of skin on my throat( slight exaggeration) from the ridiculously boiling latte that was also lovely once i drank it after eating!! will return soon.
