Parking is quite convenient, though on a sunny weekend we had arrived by 9am which was adequate to ensure availability of parking. By the time that we left at 11am, there wasn 't really much parking left. We had breakfast, which isn 't really what Rick Stein 's is about (that 's seafood), but it is a restaurant with a good deal of visual drama of dining in the restaurant area with the 'Harbour View '. Certainly, climbing up the stairs and passing the kitchen to be greeted with the view of the harbour is fantastic. There weren 't any real complaints about the food, which were all very good ingredients. The coffee was good and the brewed coffee offered complimentary refills. The **** mary was...

the restaurant looks good and has a view of the sea from the first floor. staff is very nice and helpful. but the food and prices were not at the level we expected. the food is very expensive. for fish and chips I paid £19.50 if I remember correctly, which is a lot and it wasn't good, fried in a lot of oil that felt on the plate only a few potatoes and a very very salty mash next to it. the starter pasta was cold and we have no flavor. and the oysters I suspect that there was something wrong with them because both we and our friends who ate oysters had indigestion the next day. we paid a lot of money and we didn't get enough because the portions were small, we had to go eat somewhere else ri...

I’ve been here twice and both times I’ve hoped to be swept away by all the greatness that goes along with the Rick Stein brand. The food is lovely but just doesn’t quite get to ‘wow’ status which makes me doubt whether it’s worth the hefty price tag for the normal a la carte menu. On my second trip, I tried the set menu which is more reasonably priced at £35 per person. Starter (fish soup) and mains (pan fried hake) were delicious but the desert was really disappointing it was meant to be a tiramisu but the sponge was hard and the cream was runny like milk. Service can be a bit off too it can be very busy and it can feel hard to get attention when you need it.

There is just so much to be loved at this restaurant. The view, the ambience, the service, the wine selection, the different food flavours on the menu, and the children’s menu. We could sit here all day eating, chatting, enjoying the view. However, food can be even better by ensuring that they are executed at the standard which the chef and customers are expecting. On this occasion we were served undercooked white rice and this should never have happened. It wouldn’t stop us from coming back for all the good reasons listed above and have the set menu offer but it’ll probably stop us from ordering from the full price main menu. Book a table now

Outstanding ! Went here for lunch and was not disappointed. The menu was incredible, great wine list and good service. I had the seafood chowder for starter and lemon sole for main course, both of which were expertly flavoured and presented. My partner had the shellfish platter which was also amazing. There is also a lovely outdoor seating area where we had post lunch drinks with some cheese. Well recommended

Special day for us. The place is as just amazing, the food very tasty, the wine delicious and at the right temperature. The waiter was courteous, knowing every single item in the menu. The view was great. Thank you. For sure we will be visiting again! P.S: thanks for the surprise ‘ Anniversary ’ desert. My wife was delighted by your gesture and by the taste .

Had a wonderful lunch with my family. They do a set menu of three courses which was very good. We did not book, but it was a Monday and took a chance that we would get a table. We were lucky and were given one overlooking the harbour. It was perfect. Staff and food were excellent and we would definitely return if we were in the area.

My all time favourite TV chef we were on holiday nearby so the perfect end was a family meal at Rick Steins Sand Bank restaurant. Food was delicious, great service and atmosphere in there. Only thing to top it off would have been if Mr Stein had been there himself! Book a table now

Dinner with a view! What an incredible culinary experience this place was beautiful restaurant with a terrace that backs onto the marina. We had the lobster and steak and both were perfect. Shout out to George our lovely waiter as well
