Never had seafood before and this blown our expectations out of the water. Was very nice!While it was costly for 2 with dessert it was well worth the price with us only going once! Would 100% recommend if you're looking for seafood in the Isle of Wight! Lovely area.

We stopped here as looked really lovely and different.. Views are lovely. When we went in was very busy and not being from Isle of wight didn't know you had to book of which we were told you had to do very abruptly and rude from waitress..When we went in by the door was a seafood platter left on the table uncovered in the heat.. Think would of liked it here just waitress not welcoming put us off for next time

Gosh! How absolutely lovely this is! We had the dressed crab salad and thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful! The Speciality Seafood Platter looked amazing but we knew we could not manage it all sadly.We had swans and ducks swimming outside our window and were quite entertained by people arriving on boats for lunch.Definitely book in advance. There are two sittings at 12 noon and 2pm, but they are pretty busy!

Booked a table outside on a Sunday. Enjoy lovely views over the water. Simple menu but perfectly fresh and tasty. We had lobster and crab, the crab was amazing. We shared a mixed chilled bottle of Rose from Provence. All the staff were friendly and efficient. Unisex toilet nice and clean. Highly recommend.

We were lucky to just walk in and get an inside table at 2pm. Very pleasant quick service, did not like wine served from miniature bottles. However the crab baguette and crab salad were so out of this world delicious, so fresh and sweet, that we would give 10 stars if possible. Very nice view of the marina, we really enjoyed being on this floating cafe. Our only regret is not having enough time in our itinerary to visit again.

If you don’t like boats or are sensitive to movements I would go for the takeaway option.The food was awesome we had the sharing platter and OMG it was loaded. Perfectly cooked.Staff was friendly and tried to accommodate even without bookings

We'd seen the reviews and decided to treat ourselves my wife said it was the best crab she'd ever eaten and is now in her top 3 meals ever! Make sure you book! Yes it's on the pricey side! Yes the people who work there could force a smile! But overall well worth a visit

Not the first visit but first since covidThe best place for seafoodThis is not a restaurant and does not want to be one, its a cafe that sells the best seafood on the island and still the best price.It's a shame that prices have had to increase by 50% which is out of their control.But still the best and still will be going backJust remember this is a daytime cafe only
