    We had the tasting menu - and it just took too long between the courses . We started dinner at 6:30 and by 9 there were still 3 more courses to go … For me personally that is too long as my body signals after 30 min wait that he is full . Some of the food was under seasoned but over all it was a lovely experience and the staff very friendly.

    Lovely meal. We had the set menu which gave a good choice. I had been before and had really enjoyed the food but I hadn’t been for a long while as I had heard bad reports. I am glad the restaurant is as good as before. One of my fellow diners was on his 3 visit and confirmed they had also been delighted with the food

    It was a birthday celebration and we were welcomed with a glass of champagne for myself and my wife. Marina,the owner, gave us a taster of each of the wines before ordering. The food was exquisite and beautifully presented. A memorable lunch.

    36 At The Quay is a delight. We were pleased with almost everything there from the welcome, the presentation of the tables and the efforts of the staff, through to the very good value set lunch. The only reasons for not scoring higher across the board were that the restaurant is understaffed front of house and consequently service was a little slower than one would have wished for. In addition our experience was somewhat tarnished by the constant complaining from the two "ladies" on the adjacent table for whom nothing was going to be right. Their behaviour intruded upon our enjoyment of the excellent dishes but the patience shown by the staff was exemplary. Having said this, we will definitely return in the future and hope to indulge in the a la carte and tasting menus both of which look most appetising.

    Beautiful restaurant and attentive friendly service. My husband had the turbot and I had the duck. The presentation was immaculate. Nice touch of complementary canapés and lovely bread with assorted butters.

    The tasting menu was served in a timely manner at a good pace. The view through the window of the harbour was spectacular. However, these 2 factors did not warrant enough a sense a value for money.

    We have frequented this restaurant for 28 years but, due to moving north, had not had the opportunity to go for 3 years. It was great to return and find that 36 on the Quay is as good as ever. Wonderful food and service. Probably our favourite restaurant.
