   The staff were so friendly and welcomed us to lazy lobster. Our waitress explained how everything went & had a friendly attitude and laughed a lot and smiled. Food was amazing. Can’t wait to return

   Great menu of small plates. Chose a couple of single mouthfuls such as oysters & scallops then 4 other medium dishes inc tuna, prawns plus potatoes and bread to mop up delicious sauces. £40 bottle Chapel Down very decent Pinot - £120 total for 2. So neither cheap nor extortionate - but excellent flavours and attentive knowledgeable service. Tables quite close to each other and very loud. Interesting menu - would return

   The only thing well cooked was the chef who (was clearly baked) bought a couple of dishes out, we were told it was a sharing menu but given no plates, had to get them ourselves, in the hour and a half we were there waiting for food noone asked how the food was nor offered us another drink nor the water which we asked for. Chaos, rude front of house over busy and nonchalant attitude with no care to food nor people. At the end the very good lady came back and asked how it was I told her how poor it was all but the prawns in a curry leaf type sauce and she kindly got us both a drink on the house. They could nip round the courner to the Pearson Arms and get a lesson in hospitality and service as this was beyond a joke. Not cheap truffle chips are oven fries with a suggestion of truffle oil maybe poured but missed the dish and cold unmelted low grade parmesan. Mackerel over cooked and side element was bathed in salt a table leaving had to grab a spare glass and take some water left on the bar, probably theirs. It was a full restaurant and they didnt have the staff nor expertise to pull it off. Open table comment was for a dog friendly table which they didnt get so a good job we walked in earlier to check.

   The food was impeccable & so so flavoursome! I’m still thinking of the Masala Prawn, just incredible. You couldn’t fault the food, but sadly the service as a whole let it down. Nothing the staff did wrong, but the 2 girls working front of house were overwhelmed with the number of tables. I asked if they were understaffed, but they said 2 people was normal. The owners should consider hiring another member, especially during busier times like half term. I’m sure it’s hard to find the balance of staff especially out of season, but knowing things didn’t go to plan I’m sure they’d have booked someone in a heart beat. The food also took some considerable time to come out in general, well worth the wait once received it but if you’re looking for a quick meal/service this isn’t the place for you. The food itself will definitely make me come back, but hopefully we’ll receive a better overall experience next time.
