Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the fresh seafood, with several calling it beautifully prepared and one pointing to the hot seafood platter. Another says the fish was perfectly cooked and singles out the chips among the accompaniments. Most describe the staff as friendly and attentive, and a few mention generous portions and clean toilets. Complaints are fewer but specific. One reviewer sent back a swordfish that did not taste right, then found the replacement cod and chips poor, with the batter wrong and the triple cooked chips disappointing, though the starters and tartare sauce were good. Another says the menu is great but the service needs a lot of improvement from start to end, and calls the desserts not the best. Reviewers also repeatedly mention the stunning sea views, and one caught a sunset from the table.

“Food was great generally - seafood fantastic just desserts not the best . Great location and fair prices for that location I guess but service ….. well, lots to talk about but I will just say - a lot to improve from the start to the end . It’s a shame, because the place has huge potential—the menu is great, and the chef does a good job. It would be worth investing in better service staff.”

“Seaside dining at the highest level 👌 Honestly, Clacton on Sea has a hidden jewel, overlooking the sandy beach! I was lucky enough that my daughter see the brilliant reviews and booked this amazing restaurant, on our recent trip away. The divine smells and the warmest of welcoming (by Ross) had my mouth watering from the very beginning. Oh Clacton, you have a hidden jewel, right on your seafront and I am going to to be your biggest fan from now on. How on earth did a little gem like this, turn up in Clacton on sea? A diamond in the rough. We even took photos in the toilets because they were simply stunning 😍 Our waiter was so lovely and attentive. (I wanted to bottle up the energy and loveliness of this man). The food was simply, incredible. It was almost as if it had been picked from the sea and mastered by a magician 🎩 I honestly can't praise this amazing little restaurant higher 😍 Thank you both Morgan and Ross for the excellent customer service which we received. We will be seeing you very, very soon xx”
