    Great food, very relaxing atmosphere with great views. Have been several times over the years. My only criticism is I asked for a virgin mojito and for £5 it was a glass of mainly crushed ice with very little drink. If I had known a glass of crushed ice was going to cost a fiver I wouldn't have bothered. Other than that the staff were very friendly and attentive.
    The SharksfinResponded on January 4, 2025
    Hello Melissa! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are grateful for your appreciation and recognition. We apologise for your disappointment, and appreciate your feedback regarding the virgin mojito. When creating our mocktails, we aim to mimic the characteristics of our cocktail selection, some of those qualities being a punchier, shorter drink. The Garnish and ice quantity plays a part in the drink itself but is predominantly for the aesthetic of the mocktail. However we do understand your frustration, and would be happy to perhaps reduce the amount of ice used and use soda to quench your thirst that little bit more! Please do let us know how we can help in your future visits. Kind regards, The Sharksfin team

    We had a table for four plus high chair for a baby and the welcome was superb, the food very good and all on a warm winter's day with a log fire. One of the " must visits " in a delightful harbourside village when in south Cornwall.
