This restaurant is an expensive hobby, the best part of £300 for two with wine and service. I do sometimes wonder if we are paying to be there to please the chef or the chef is there to please us judging from the rules we should observe on the website. Luckily gone are the days of only taking cash, which sometimes necessitated a visit to the cash point at the end of the evening. However I digress, cards are obviously accepted now. The room is stark and soulless, more canteen than high end restaurant. On leaving, the feeling is more endurance rather than warmth, joy and money well spent. There is one menu, no choice, start time 7.00 p.m., arrive 6.45 p.m. be there or be square! Every one serv...
On arrival we felt the restaurant was cold so a few of us had to keep our coats on until it warmed up! The lighting was also very bright with bare wood tables, no candles so our initial feeling was that it was more of a cafe feel than a restaurant. Service was very friendly but we didn't feel it matched the £95/head price tag (asking for water, passing plates/cutlery around the table and having to ask for water). We had a wine flight which we would expect the bottle to be brought to the table and corked, introducing the wine rather than a tray of ready-made glasses. Most food dishes were good (one very good). Nice canapés but no bread which I feel should be served with every meal. Nice food...
We have wanted to go to this restaurant for years and finally made it there this weekend. We were not disappointed! It's a small place (20 covers I believe) and the owner/chef is the only one cooking. This does mean the evening is drawn out a little but who wants to be rushed through such a tasty experience? If you love fish then you will love TLFM. The whole team were fantastic, as was the food and ambience. Can't wait for the next visit! Thank you.
This chef owned, family operated restaurant provides a warm and friendly dinner experience. It is a set tasting menu and you should taker note of the name and you must really like fish. Duncan Ray, chef/owner, serves the first course personally and happily engages in conversation after the meal. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Actually the individual courses were lovely, but there is absolutely zero ambiance, in fact someone thought it was a coffee shop just before we went in. Came away feeling quite underwhelmed.
Absolutely stunning menu paired with complimentary wines. Each course was delivered by knowledgeable staff and was divine. The breadth of flavours, textures and presentation was inspired.
Fantastic from start to finish. Couldn’t fault a thing. The fish was cooked to perfection and the flavour parirings perfection. One of the best meals I have enjoyed for a long time
The best restaurant experience I have ever had. Food, atmosphere, service and drink offerings were spot on. Everything was cooked to absolute perfection
