    We had a delicious meal, promptly and charmingly served, along with a very drinkable wine, and all at extremely fair prices. Would highly recommend!

    We ordered the mixed grilled fish and was glad that we did. We particularly liked the red mullet and tiger prawns. We found the side order grilled Mediterranean vegetables too burnt but the waitress seemed hard to comprehend but agreed to cancel the order at the end.

    The atmosphere of the restaurant and service is nice, we have walked past and wanted to visit for several months. Finally, on Valentine’s Day, we gave it a go. Unfortunately the food was extremely disappointing; my calamari was stringy and overcooked, the anchovies seemed like tinned ones from the shop, the mixed grill was nice but a very small portion for the price with no sides. Food was not terrible, but undoubtedly overpriced. We will not be returning.

    The service was poor and staff didn’t seem interested. The menu was small and the same as it has been for years, and no specials were shown to us from the backboard. I ordered Fish and Chips and the batter was really greasy and the chips were undercooked and hard. Waitress asked how our food was and when I told her about my disappointing meal she replied “sorry to hear that” and cleared our empty plates and walked off. After this visit I will not be returning which is such a shame. In my view the place has gone massive downhill.

    I was looking forward to know this restaurant for my Birthday with my Fiance and I’ve been very surprised of the warm reception and wonderful food that we had. I’ve also suggested to have the Perelada wine called “Blanc Pescador” that is a wonderful and fresh white wine for the fish plates and restaurants next to the seaside in Catalonia.

    This is a wonderful place. I would not know where to find a fish restaurant to hold a candle to it. The menu is superb, with a new specials board every day. The service is impeccable- prompt, friendly and discreet. The ambiance is perfect - quiet and stylish. No distracting music. Ideal for a romantic dinner or for meeting up with friends. Don't miss it!

    The food varied from ok (Bouillabaisse) to awesome (sea food platter). We were expecting the waiting staff to be as welcoming as Las Cuccina but they did not engage with us or were in any sense 'warm'. Disappointing.

    Amazing specials of the day!!! We tried so different ones! They were so tasty! Fish was really fresh! The only thing to reminder… The specials finish quite early… So, not always possible to order what wished as first choice. Highly recommended. We will come back for sure! PS. A bit of renovation of the toilets is just a suggestion… :)

    Loved our meal here. The food was delicious, especially the marinere mussels with garlic bread! The seafood platter portions were very generous too, with fresh oysters and crab claws. We would certainly recommend this restaurant. Just two things we didn't quite like - one of the king prawns had gone off, and they had a Taylor Swift album playing all night which ruined the ambience,

    The seafood was fresh and delicious. The portions were generous and nothing was overcooked. The staff very attentive too, without being intrusive. A bit of a walk from the high street after a long day shopping but would highly recommend a visit.

    Food excellent - fresh shellfish, good wine list - and it’s a nice, buzzy, dining room. I usually like to have Calvados after shellfish, just in case, but sadly they didn’t have any. Not a showstopper, though.

    We enjoyed the food but the restaurant did not confirm our booking via the Fork, as such I lost the yum points from the app. It should've been done the way it's supposed to.

    I made bookings via The Fork app but received phone confirmation instead, as such I lost my yum points from using the app, would appreciate it if Cuttlefish can do it the proper way via the app to confirm my booking.

    Nice mussels, excellent smoked salmon, good fish and chips and tasty lemon sole. Desserts were super. Overall, an enjoyable evening on what was one of the wettest days of the year. The radio station music, was however a little irritating at times but service was efficient. Thank you Cuttlefish, keep up the good work.
