Modern steakhouse and seafood restaurant, selling premium quality dry aged steak, gourmet burgers and fresh lobster.

A cosy well decorated restaurant with seating upstairs with a view of the sea. Free parking right outside after 6pm.. Friendly waitresses who attended to us straight away. I had the chicken and mushrooms. The sauce had so much flavour. I could of done with abit more in a small pot as one portion of chicken was slightly dry but still tasty.. Ice cream and brownie for dessert that turned out to be chocolate cake but we still ate it. We loved the smooth music in the background which was on at a level that we could still hear our conversation. I would recommend this restaurant to friends and family. We had a lovely evening there.

What a lovely little pub off the beaten track! Friends took us for lunch. When we got there we could see something had happened to the kitchen but they still put out a lovely short menu full of flavour! Our vegan friends thought they wouldnât find anything tasty but the poke bowl was perfect! I had the seafood platter which was delicious. Would love to see what the full menu is like ! A lovely part of stay to be remembered.

Been here a few times. Good portions, though the odd occassion not been as nice, guess it depends on time of day or season. Portions and prices are very reasonable, and pretty much the only chippy close to the beach which is brilliant, and much better than going to a cafe as you can cross the road and sit on benches or beach.

Our group ordered a veggie burger and an ordinary burger. They were tiny and came without chips or salad. The meat in the ordinary burger wasnât great. When you order a burger, you expect a nice, hearty, filling, inexpensive treat. Not at this place.It is a pity because the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and a nice location. We gave feedback - I really hope they get their act together for their burgers, because the restaurant could be so pleasant.

Went here for a bit of lunch with my family whilst out and about.It was fantastic! The restaurant area is clean and nicely decorated, plenty of room and with disabled access. The service was superb, friendly and courteous. The food was amazing. Everything was so hot and fresh. The chips are the best you could ever get! Fish was beautiful. Great portion size! You wouldnt leave hungry!!I would definately reccommend the Fish House!

Well I don't know where to start.... Absolutely shocked by the behaviour of the manager/ owner or whatever is he. Visited today with my partner and two children. Firstly was told by him that that we couldn't order drinks first and that we needed to order it all together with the food ( it was boiling hot out today and we had a very thirsty 2 and 8 year old). Eventually he let us order drinks while we looked at the menu.Meal was okay..... But spoke to a young waitress and mentioned that there was peas missing off of one of the meals. She said she would get.... Anyway they never turned up and we finished our meals .... I mentioned it again when they cleared our plates but said not to worry as we'd finished now. The rude manager then stormed over and instead of apologising he started bad mouthing the poor waitress..... Saying this was not her first mistake today and he was taking money out of her wages. I felt terrible for her ...... When I went to pay at the till he came over to take the money. To cut a long story short I told him that I was not happy for him to take money out of the young girls wages and I was disappointed in the service from him today and how uncomfortable it had made us feel. Well omg he flipped out at me!..... Snatched my card from me.... Said he didn't care about my opinion and said 'look at my busy restaurant, I don't care about you and your thoughts. I have lots of customers!' I told him he should never speak to customers this way.... He just laughed..... After I had paid he pointed to my family standing down by the door and Said..... (AND THIS IS THE WORST BIT THAT IM STILL IN TOTAL SHOCK ABOUT) 'look at your horrible little family, look at your horrible little children'. I think the reality of how Vile this man is did not hit me till after we had left. How dare he! I'm still shocked! How dare he speak to people in that way. Reading other reviews on this place I can see others have had problems with this man (if that's what you can even call him) It seems his disgusting attitude has been picked up on by many people.It's such a shame.... I've been here many times in the past. Presumably before he took it on. The staff are terrified of him. You can see by their poor faces. I read one review in here that he has answered back to the complaint..... By threatening to phone up the person's work and complain about them back. JUST WOW! Totally shocking!!!

Enjoyed a very pleasant meal here on a quiet Monday evening. A separate vegetarian and vegan Menu is available as the main menu has limited options in that department. Whilst the options were limited they are imaginative and there was enough variation to offer a good choice of options. Service was good and attentive. excellent range of gins as well. Definitely a fine dining venue and quite expensive but the perfect place to a treat.

A lovely cafe which was doing a roaring trade on this sunny August day. They have a few indoor tables and more outside, overlooking the LV18 lightship, sadly closed due to extreme temperatures below decks on the day we visited. Quaint historic pier with views over the Stour estuary. We had the all day breakfast (one veggie and one standard) which was served promptly and with a smile by the friendly and cheerful staff. They have quite a wide menu for the size of the cafe, including salads, fish, ploughmanâs, sandwiches, lasagne, jacket potatoes and toasties. Would definitely recommend if you are visiting the north east end of Harwich.
