I visited St. Ives today and noticed that they were doing Crab Sandwiches, so thought we would try them. Greeted very, very politely by the waitress. When the Sandwiches arrived, they were true value for money and very fresh. If your in St Ives well worth a visit

My wife and I had probably the tastiest mussels we have ever eaten here, I had the Thai chilli mussels and my wife had the mussels in white wine sauce, the bonus is that once you have eaten the mussels you have the most amazing bowl of soup, and if you pair that with the artisan bread you really are in for a treat.

Simply the best seafood linguine I’ve ever had. Shellfish cooked to perfection and an ample portion, my two boys were in heaven. The mackerel and Nduja prawns were also exquisite, as were the rosemary chips. I would highly recommend this place. Huge thanks to the very welcoming staff and clearly very talented chefs. Thank you for a meal to remember 🙏😊

After visiting this restaurant several times over the last few years it was clear that there had been a change in the standards of both service and the food served. The menu is more limited which is fine, however several dishes on the tapas menu were out of stock which we weren’t told about until sometime after ordering. The bill was not adjusted until we asked and was then done incorrectly. The home made lemonade tasted like water with a slice of lemon added. The tapas dishes were mediocre to say the least and not a patch on the previous years dishes. Really disappointed to see the change to this once small business, unfortunately we won’t be returning :(

Booked a table a couple weeks prior & was not expected on arrival. Waited 15 minutes & went to the bar to order to be told it’s table service. Ordered food & drinks, food was cold & had to be sent back. Went up to the bar to pay the bill & was asked ‘are you here for take away drinks’… no recognition throughout.

We stumbled upon this restaurant on a day trip to St Ives. A lovely setting and good food. I had the mackerel burger which was fantastic. The service was slow but then again done with absolute enthusiasm and with a smile. Great selection of beers and cocktails- My wife had the Bloody Marry which was hot, spicy and everything it should be. The mussels were also delicious - so much so much Son picked up his bowl to finish the sauce !

We were offered a choice of tables on arrival and opted for one in the window, overlooking the harbour. Really good tapas menu and we enjoyed every dish. Service was a little slow, but we were in holiday and in no rush, so it didn't really matter. The guy who is front of house was really grumpy and stern, but we thought maybe he was having a bad day. Anyway, we booked again for another night and he was still grumpy and stern, which amused us no end. We really enjoyed the food here and he certainly didn't spoil things for us. He's obviously just not a people person!

The Almond Tree CafeBritish

The Almond Tree has plenty of potential with an attractive rural setting, but on our visit it was badly let down by the lady running the cafe. She was seated at a table using a laptop (the cable was across the floor by the entrance so potentially a hazard) when we arrived and she did not bother to acknowledge us until we said hello. Dirty plates were meanwhile left on another table and were not cleared until some time later. When we asked to see the menu, she just pointed in the direction of the counter and said we would find them there. She made no effort to be helpful or engage in conversation and other than getting our drinks and food, she spent all the time on her laptop. We are locals, and we felt ashamed that holidaymakers to Cornwall could also be treated in this offhand way. Food was okay but nothing spectacular. With the right person in charge of the cafe, plus a cleaner and brighter environment, the Almond Tree could be a very attractive eating place like Fat Apples cafe at nearby Porthallow is. In the meantime, it is not worth visiting.
