    Early evening Fish tapas We were walking round Newquay looking for somewhere to eat, as normal. When we came across this amazing tapas restaurant specialising in Seafood. We didn't know what to expect here, but oh gawd did we strike gold. They serve some incredible tapas dishes using fresh fish which they bring in from their own family boats.🐟 We were in heaven, of all places Newquay.🤣 We chose three dishes from the Specials menu and the rest off their main menu. Everything was delicious, we could of stayed all night. They have a button on the tables which you press when you want to order anything.The server then comes and takes your order. Our table was quite literally buzzing all night🤣 The servers were all young and very friendly and helpful. If you ever find yourself in Newquay,then you must check this place out. Make sure you book as it's very popular. Even the locals find it difficult to get in. Review helpful like follow thanks.

    Been wanting to eat here for some time after good recommendations and it doesn't disappoint. Tapas style fish dishes cooked really fresh. We tried nearly all the fish dishes and liked them all. The beauty is you can go back or forward or just keep eating the same thing which I think we did all of that too... Thoroughly enjoyed thoroughly recommend.

    Bottom line: great food, great service! I was really surprised with how few ‘less formal’ (subtext: not £60 per head) fish restaurants there are in Newquay so finding this was a godsend! All the fish dishes I had were beautiful and you win the coveted compliment of ‘best meatball I’ve ever had’ (the albondigas) from my fish-fearing fiancé! The waitress was fantastic and very attentive - and I really like their ordering system which means you don’t have to do the awkward wave to get someone’s attention.

    Excellent food and quality - we absolutely loved everything, but beware of prices and sizes. Anything under £10 will come in a small ash tray sized pot. That will still be the best seafood you you'll have in a long time, but it will feel too small. The ambient is nice and the service is good (helped by a traffic light system for taking orders). All the garlic sauces are wonderful. And the lobster and prawn is super tasty (albeit again small). To top it off, the raspberry pavlova (photo) was top of the chart, also with a great presentation. Our waitress spared no effort to ensure everything was good and to our satisfaction.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary dinner here with my wife last weekend. There are plenty of tasty looking options on the menu my wish was I could only have the room to eat more. Desserts were really good too. Above all though the service was excellent and the team were efficient and friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Delicious food, excellent variations and lovely atmosphere 😋 would definately recommend booking a table. One minor comment is that the salad leafs where very gritty.. but apart from that absolutely 5 stars!

    Really warm welcome and all staff were friendly and attentive. The light system is genius and makes everything run every smoothly. Food is delicious and the fresh daily specials are great. Really enjoyed the crab nachos in particular. Great to find somewhere locally where we can come for great tapas. We will be back!

    Wow, an unbelievable dining experience, the food here is amazing, the staff are great, plus the desserts are out of this food! We had seven different tapas but didn't take enough pics, as soon as the food came we tucked in 😅

    We hadn't booked but managed to get a table in the bar area. We had a wonderful selection of tapas. More than enough for the 3 of us. Great wine & cocktails. Service exceptional. Our waitress was Alissa and she was lovely. The owners were very friendly and we enjoyed our chat at the end of the evening. Would highly recommend this little gem of a restaurant.

    Have eaten here many times and it never fails to please. Lovely atmosphere, great staff who are always friendly and helpful plus a superb choice of food with something for everyone. We have taken my 89 year old mother and my 5 year old grandson to eat at the Fish Bar and both have thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Very busy, vibrant restaurant. Fish Bar offers a large selection of seafood that you can order as small plates or larger dishes. I found scallops a bit overcooked, but the rest of the dishes like mussels, oysters, or seafood espetada were spot on. Nice atmosphere and very helpful staff.
