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.

we have eaten in and had meals delivered we have always had excellent service and lovely food yum ....

Excellent small restaurant in Mevagissey. The service and welcome were both friendly and efficient. The duck was cooked to perfection and was so tasty and tender. The owner said that she had sourced "happy ducks" and obviously happy ducks make tasty ducks!! My wife thoroughly enjoyed her sea bass fillets with lemon and parsley sauce. The accompanying vegetables were well cooked and tasty. Well worth a visit!! We will be returning soon!!

Lovely place to eat, relax and friendly place. food it brilliant!! A*******

Visited Del Mar Sept 07, poor quality food - pizza best thing on the menu. Steak and chicken over cooked. When we made our concerns known to a staff member, very rude and dismissive. (particular female member of staff, well we now believe to be the owner) Not an authentic Italian restaurant!!

A notice outside this pub restaurant claims that all produce is locally sourced when possible. Seemingly it was not possible to source fresh beans, carrots or plaice in late September (2007). All were evidently from frozen.

It's a really good place to get take out. Everything is fresh, made to your liking. The portions are huge, not like TV diners!! I got the prawn korma, and there was like 50 prawns in it!!! Really recommend trying it out!

went there last week for lunch, after walking the streets of st Ives many times looking for a decent place to eat at a reasonable price. we were not disappointed when we were served two really fresh mackerel grilled and served on a bed of salad leaves with beetroot and walnut relish with bread, and the cost was only about £7 per person would definitely go back again and we are looking forward to visiting again next year, maybe even every lunchtime, as we only come across this gem on our last day in Cornwall. Thanks to all the staff for putting our faith back into eating out after some lousy culinary experiences whilst in Cornwall

Possibly the best Indian food I've ever tasted! Always a good treat!

A private room - set aside for 10 eager gourmands was not a bridge to far for this professionally run Padstein eatery. We were a cross section of people who all had a different view of good food. Some had done the 3 star Michelin 'thing' - some were happy with what the best Padstow could offer. Some ate things they thought they were allergic to. All had a common purpose - to enjoy the company and to sample the best that Cornwall had to offer. There were no arguments. We all agreed that the service, the food and the wine were the best we had had in Cornwall - and for some of us - ever had! The proof of a successful meal is how much you remember of it the next day. I am still salivating as I recapture the delicacies presented on the day. Talking specifics about what we ate is pointless as menus change. However the fact that 10 well travelled people all agreed with the excellence of this establishment is proof positive that Padstow has a worthy rival to Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant. In fact I would go so far as to say that Rick should be proud to have someone to look up to!
