  “The ambience is amazing, being right next to the beach! The pods offer a good amount of privacy too. The food is what let the experience down. In most of our dishes, the main item (seafood, especially) was masked by the garnishes or sauces. The ‘seared’ king prawns tasted barely seared if at all; they were swimming in oil, and were far too oily to enjoy. The seared scallops were confusingly accompanied by a chorizo jam. The jam itself was too sweet, but why would you pair scallops with a jam in the first place, when scallops are loved for their natural sweetness? We could barely taste the scallop. The tenderstem broccoli was over-spiced — covered in heaps of zaatar — and undercooked — the stem still tasted a bit raw. The best dish we had was the spider crab croquettes, which still tasted of crab. Overall, we came hoping for a taste of delicious fresh seafood, and left with that craving unsatisfied. Seafood lovers should give it a miss.”

  “Adults food was fine, we got quite a lot across the menu across the 6 eating adults. But the kids menu a bit basic - 2 chicken nuggets per child is beyond tight. Not very accommodating when asking if any possibility of straying from menu for the kids either. Atmosphere nice but that’s the setting not the restaurant.”

  “This place has by far my favorite place to dine in the uk! Truly magical ambience and the hosts were super super friendly and warm! Emily truly made our experience here wholesome and hosted us with the best energy we could have imagined. She not only recommended the best dishes, but also followed up on how we were feeling through our meals and after! This cafe is good hands, and thank you Emily for making this best experience for my partner and I”

  “Went in twice during our week in St Ives. We had our dog with us once so we sat on the covered terrace and had lunch tapas. Second visit was in the evening in a pod, plenty of room for 7 people. Stand out dishes, whole mackerel, prawns, potatoes, bread, halloumi, churros, salmon rillettes. The food is always consistently very good. Really good service by all the staff. The lemon meringue pie looked amazing but we didn’t have room at lunchtime and it’s not available on the evening menu. It’s worth booking a table as it can get really busy. I have visited this restaurant at least ten times over the past few years. Toilets are on the same floor. Amazing views.”

  “Attention à bien vérifier votre addition au Meor Deck take away (pas le restaurant au dessus). £18 se sont transformés en £19,25 avec un pourboire ayant été ajouté par la caissière automatiquement, sans doute étant étrangers car les clients suivants ont eu le choix sur le terminal de paiement. Ce n' est pas honnête et nous avons réalisé trop tard. Dommage la vue est sympa.”

  “Food was good and manager really nice and friendly. However, the waitress was totally useless. Took our food orders but not drinks, never looked at table, so impossible to order extra. I asked to serve the sauces aside and they responded they were pasteurised and served the food on top of the sauces even though I specifically asked to served them aside. I found that rude. Then when I asked for the bill she said she will first clean the table and the bring the bill, wtf! Just bring me the bill so I can pay and go and clean the table after! Awful waitress as I said.”

  “Some places trade on their amazing views and forget about the quality of the food; here you’ll find an incredible view and beautifully cooked local food, made with wonderfully fresh ingredients. It’s good value too-we returned 3 times! Service is good too. If you want a table by the window, book ahead, even for breakfast.”

  “Great atmosphere, amazing view and helpful staff. But I regret it. The food is overrated. Some flavour combinations are a bit weird. Regarding the portions, I understand what tapas is but still portions are too small for the price. It’s not ok. Overall experience is not bad but I wouldn’t go there again and don’t recommend to spend a lot of money on their food.”
