Wow! This restaurant is what St. Austell has been waiting for - a Fine Dining experience directed and created by Brett, the Chef-Proprietor. We had the best seats in the house and watched in awe as Brett created dish after mouth-watering dish. It was like watching an artist producing a masterpiece. This restaurant runs like a well oiled machine. The staff are friendly, efficient and professional in every way. The food is to die for and I can honestly say that this was one of if not the best meal I have ever had - and I am not easy to please! The extensive and moderately priced wine list offers something for everyone from a delicious Chilean Merlot to a crisp Chardonnay and for those with a nose for something a little special, there is plenty of choice. Nothing is too much trouble here and Brett and his team are clearly passionate about their work. It was an absolute pleasure chatting to the man himself after the meal. If you plan to eat out in St. Austell, do not miss this experience!!!

Beautifully fresh fish, crisp vegetables, excellent wine, attentive but not overwhelming service, fabulous creme brulee - all in very attractive, comfortable modern surroundings. The log burning stove made it cosy. The welcome was equally warm. I'll definitely make a point of going back to the Salamander and recommending it to others.

Went there last saturday, the food is very good, but there was many people. Very good service and made me happy, even if i waited

well, well, well, what a fabulous gem this is....amazing views, great decor, unbelievably fantastic mussels......if you haven't been, you need to! i will be telling all my friends..........

This restaurant was a perfect solution for my husbands birthday. The food was amazing, the location and setting was spot on and the service was good. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves good food and wine!

An excellent Delicatessen and Cafe!! One of the best coffees I have had outside of Italy!

Tse House in Camborne does such tasty meals. I definitely recommend this place for sit down meals, friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant who also offer takeaway service. The best eatery in Bude with the friendliest staff - nothing is too much trouble! There is definitely nothing in Bude to rival this place

Our first ever time to Rock yesterday...and I must say the last. If the Blue tomato cafe is representative of Rock then it quite obviously has so much wealth it can afford to be rude and ignorant to its visitors. We turned up at the cafe at around 1:50pm, there was not any opening times apparent on the door. Our order was politely taken and promptly served too. The food was very good. What was appalling was that each member of staff was not talking but almost shouting, whistling almost deafeningly loud and discussing how awful Jane MacDonald is. We were the only customers and made to feel very unwelcome, it felt as if we were sat in the kitchen during staff lunch time. How do the staff know we were not related to Jane MacDonald?

daves diner was really good the food was amazing

Exceptional meal very friendly service.

VERY impressed, extremely friendly and welcoming! would recommend!

"I think I'll have a smoothie and a mortgage!" commented my friend as he read the menu in the Blue Tomato Cafe. I was absolutely taken back with the ridiculous prices that this cafe has the audacity to charge. Nachos are £8 and scrambled eggs and salmon will set you back more than £10. The table was so sticky that the newspaper stuck to it and the annoying staff spent most of their time flirting with each other or whistling. On the other hand the lemon drizzle cake was gorgeous and I have to say the cafe has very tasteful decor. Unfortunately, i don't think I will be returning here again.

We went here with a small group of visitors. we were quite embarrassed, as they left out 2 main courses when serving us. The wait was long and the service poor. the waitresses were not up to the standard I would expect. Not sure if I would recommend it for groups, they seem unable to cope. Probably better if there re 2-4 people. Shame really, as the ambience is good.

This was my first visit to this restaurant and if I am in the area again, I shall seek it out. Everything was excellent from start to finish. The best way to approach it is not to have a cream tea in the same afternoon otherwise you might not be hungry enough to do it justice. It is one of the very best meals out I've had.

Twas bloody lovely best fishcakes ever known to man

Superb food, lots of interesting things to choose from, and helpful staff.

I have just spent an enjoyable evening dining out at Tapenades with friends. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was presented to a high standard and was extremely fresh and imaginative. Extra touches such as the sorbet and handmade chocolates made this a special dining experience. The cheesecake is out of this world. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.
