An absolute must if you're in the area (or not! ) love seafood, east asian food and a truly passionate chef. Unlike anywhere we've eaten before, and all the better for it.The wine pairing was spot on and we licked our plates clean - and that's ok...For us, the very reason we will return to Penzance in the not too distant future.Thank you Bruce & Vicki for an amazing evening.. we are still talking about it....

I expected something different and I wasn’t disappointed! This was an innovative dining experience mixing locally sourced foods with international flavours. Highly recommend the wine pairing.. the wines have been skilfully picked to go perfectly with each dish.

Absolutely amazing evening! The atmosphere was perfect, super informal and private setting yet world class food! The chef presenting every dish to the room is a wonderful touch. The wine pairing was really well thought through! Highly recommended and worth the money!

Very interesting food, yet service and atmosphere not worth the price.I booked dinner and got the wine pairing. You are not told what the pairing is beforehand and you don’t get the printed card with the wine pairing unless you ask for it.It is a small room with a low ceiling, very little ventilation, and people from outside keep coming in and asking if there are any open tables.Unfortunately, during my visit, there was a couple with a small child who was very bored, expressed their need for attention loudly, and enjoyed banging metal chopsticks on the table for the duration of the whole 6-course meal. Therefore, I would not recommend this place for a romantic dinner. You could barely hear the chef’s explanations of each course while the child was talking, interrupting, and playing.In terms of food: loved it! Couple of comments: the smoked fish custard would be great with a nice slice of sourdough bread on the side; the bun served with the cod was cold, plus there was not really that much extra sauce to dip it in; I liked the red mullet with courgette, yet there is a contrast of the cold courgette cooling the warm fish, not sure I liked that contrast.In terms of service: it felt rushed - some plates were served in a hurry, also spilling sauce on the table while picking the dishes (in an hurry) and not noticing it. You are given chopsticks for sashimi and a wooden spoon and fork for everything else, and they are quite impossible to eat with. If you ask, you can get a standard knife and fork that you have to re-use during your multiple courses.It is casual dining; however, it’s also quite expensive so one should be able to use the utensils, know what they are drinking, and be able to relax without the noise of the kids’ playground.

You just have to visit this lovely, intimate restaurant. The small plates are out of this world, plus chef Bruce is super passionate about what he does and it comes through in the food. I cannot recommend highly enough.

An incredible dining experience. You must book ahead and there is no menu. Each day chef briuce finds what is best at the market and makes a meal out of it. There are 6 or 7 courses most of which feature the incredible local seafood. High level fine dining in a very laid back atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I had dinner at The Shore Restaurant this past Thursday. It was truly an outstanding dining experience!! Beautiful restaurant - simple and clean ambience with limited seating provides a comfortable and very pleasurable experience. The owner/chef Bruce Rennie warmly comes to great every table (yes, barefoot).As for the food, everything from the freshness, the flavours, the presentation and the wine pairings were absolutely superb! The overall experience was enhanced by Bruce coming out and talking to everyone about each upcoming course. He discusses what he was trying to accomplish with each dish, the reasons for using the ingredients he chose including sustainability, where he sources the ingredients - meaning from which farm (including his own grown produce and herbs) or from which market he went to.Bruce's passion and energy for what he does is remarkable and very much enhances the dining experience. It clearly comes through in his work. I highly recommend dining at this restaurant if you're in Cornwall and I would even say it's worth taking the trip to Cornwall if not just for this dining experience alone.
