    Fantastic evening, with superb food. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food was piping hot and delicious. I'd read other reviews which made me decide to book here. I would say the food exceeded my expectations. I would definitely eat here again and would thoroughly recommend The Harbour Inn to other people to try.

    Very nice place and fab mussels to start. Ordered Lobster and Prawn fish cakes for main but very disappointed as nothing special and bland, not worth £29. Great JapSlaw and salad with it though

    An average dining experience. Would not hurry back. Disappointed that a significant number of dishes on the menu were not available. Service was friendly. Restaurant ambiance was spoiled by a table positioned behind the coffee machine and adjacent to the kitchen. Table was too small and unstable.

    Delicious Sunday roasts - local beef and slow cooked pork with a good selection of vegetables. Friendly service and great surroundings.

    The steak and the venison were sublime. We usually visit The Harbour Inn when we’re in Lyme. Beautiful position right on the beach and always very tasty food and a friendly team on duty

    This was a disappointing meal for us at the Harbour. In the past we have always been delighted with the food but the menu has changed recently and the new dishes are not as good as the previous ones. For example, the catch of the day was served on a bed of fried onions, peppers and tomatoes which overwhelmed the flavour of the fish. In the past the catch of the day was always tasty but well balanced. Also the tandoori chicken starter was almost tasteless and so on. We will have to think again next time! It’s a shame as we have always loved going there.
