   Brought our Jack Russell with us as we walked around the salt marshes and stopped for dinner (we booked a table earlier as there’s limited seating with dogs). She took a nap while we ate. Hubby had white bait for starters and it was delish while I just opted for mains - scallops which our friendly server recommended - while he had sea bass. We will definitely be returning! Excellent service.

   It was a dreadful wet windy and fairly chilly day but we had booked a gathering of friends and I had to go out! We had a warm welcome. Very good Christmas meal quickly served which was also good value for money. No roast potatoes kept hot for ages. These, together with lovely veg were hot and fresh. They also managed to sort our 11 bills separately with no hassle. I'd definitely go again

   Had a great lunch here with friends today - mussels, baked Camembert & a GF Brie & cranberry sandwich respectively. All the dishes were very tasty and well garnished and the portions generous. Reasonable prices & well crafted menu, largely of staples with an emphasis on fish. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.

   Visited here for the first time with a friend for breakfast for her early birthday celebration. We both had the haven breakfast it was delicious, we especially loved the eggs and sausages. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back for breakfast again but this time with a furry friend. Anyone wanting to eat here with their furry friends, there's only outside on the terrace or near the bar.

   Terrible experience – avoid this place. My wife and my son had a full glass of red wine spilled on them by the waitress. The manager’s only response? To offer the wine for free. Over £300 worth of clothes were ruined, and there was not even a proper apology or compensation. Absolutely disgraceful customer service. We won’t be coming back – and I suggest you don’t either. EDIT : Their public response is as ridiculous as it is dishonest — claiming they have CCTV proving it was me, when it was clearly their own staff’s mistake. No apology, just denial.

   One of the best veggie breakfasts I’ve had! Every element was delicious, veggie sausages, perfect poached eggs, buttery spinach and the rest! Service was attentive and friendly as well, would recommend and will try to come back when I’m in the area!

   Online the reviews said it was excellent, completely far from it I'm afraid A truly Awful experience . My partner and i dine in restaurants and cafes all over the country suiting all budgets but we have never had such poor service. we were told it was fully booked (photos forwarded to prove otherwise), so we agreed to sit outside and adhere to a reduced menu.. We were fobbed off with lame excuses trying to order on the reduced menu and promised the sausage and bacon rolls would be available within a few minutes , after an hour and half we got up and walked off fed up with waiting . Totally unprofessional.... new management required to run the kitchen and floor staff in a proactive manner . The one star I have given is for the lovely decor and the views towards the solent .

   My wife and her parents had a tasty meal here in April 2022 over the Easter weekend. The food was delicious, the service friendly and attentive, and they welcomed our Maltipoo puppy with open arms.

   Stumbled upon this incredible restaurant by chance on a day trip to Lymington and managed to get a walk in table for 2 in the beautiful dining room with panoramic views. The service was friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. The restaurant itself was full on a Wednesday lunchtime in February, which speaks for itself. We very much hope to return.

   Located down in the quayside in Lymington, with partial views around the quayside. Plenty of seating inside and out. Good selection of light bites, starters, mains and desserts. Prompt good service, tasty food. The only issue was a number of flies in the restaurant that constantly bothered you when eating (otherwise would have given a 5*) another nice touch would reduce the lighting inside to make it a bit more personal and romantic. However definitely worth a visit.
