We went here several times while on holiday. The food was always delicious, beautifully presented and so tasty..perfect. The staff, owner, Chef etc were always friendly and helpful. Lovely people. Would highly recommend to anyone. From the slightly deaf bloke (you always came round to the side where I could hear you🙂) with tattoos from Woking. Toby x

I only gave this place 5 stars because there is no option for more stars. This place is amazing. I can be quite harsh with reviews (as my other reviews probably reflect) but I cannot commend this place enough.
The whole package, the very unusual manu, the quality of the food. The cleanliness, the staff, the decor.... it's just fantastic.

If i could give this more than 5 stars then I would. What a place!
I had the lamb & chorizo burger .. my god, it was so tasty but huge! Didn't want to leave any but it beat me. My partner had the steak & lobster and he was equally impressed. It really is delicious. It would be maybe what you consider on the slightly pricey side .. but you get what you pay for and I would not second think paying it again for the quality. It was superb.
The staff are all so friendly, very attentive.
It's genuinly just a fantastic place to eat and i am so glad we visited on our very short stay.

And yet again, another superb experience at The Bass and Lobster...
Kirsty and her team consistently deliver new and innovative dishes based on local ingredients.
Yesterday's lunch was one of the best. The biggest problem was choosing what to have...
The fish dishes were so fresh and totally different to what we've ever seen. My razor clams were superb.
I've said it before, consistency is so important for me in a restaurant, and this is one of the few places I've been where it's always excellent.
A perfect lunch - thank you!

Island friends and my wife and I had a terrific lunch the other day with my wife especially enjoying the lobster. Good value, very nicely presented and tasty food, friendly service and we were not even kicked out (whilst we stayed on past everyone else to about 3.00 pm plus!).
We will return (from Australia) when we can.

Ate dinner here every evening as the food, service, ambiance, just about everything was perfect. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Rare to find such great service and food combined under one roof.

We went to this beautiful restaurant on 2 occasions during our stay on Jersey,I had been following the restaurant on Facebook prior to our trip and we were welcomed like long lost friends, we were treated to a complimentary amuse bouche on both occasions which was a lovely addition to our meal, the sea bream was probably the nicest fish dish I have ever eaten, the red thai curry ice cream was amazing with my chocolate brownie! The staff were so lovely,they looked after us and our dog Gracie really well, I cant wait to return x

We visited The Bass and Lobster back in November 2018. It was our first visit having managed to miss it on all our previous visits to Jersey and it quickly shot up an esteemed list to become our favourite restaurant on the island and was the only choice to celebrate our 5th anniversary this year. We were given the customary warm welcome by the superb staff and seated in a nice spot at the rear of the restaurant.
We had a browse through the extensive menus...there was a set menu, an a la carte and a seafood special menu so a huge amount of choice from which to select from.
My wife decided to work from the set menu whilst I went from the a la carte. She kicked off with the 'Happy Hens Egg' starter, one of the most popular dishes at the restaurant and she described it as one of the best starters she's ever had - it looked great in it's understated simplicity and tasted even better. I opted for the pan fried foie gras and it was also superb - a great start to the meal.
The follow up however was even better. Avril selected the fish and chips - a huge portion of locally caught cod with truffle chips and she couldn't have been happier with it...the mushy pea puree was a particular hit. My main could go down as the best main I've eaten - the trio of lamb. It was just complete perfection to the point where I was severely tempted to order another one for dessert.
Having resisted that urge, I plumped for the days dessert special which was a white chocolate, raspberry and pistachio brioche bread pudding with one of the restaurants signature extravagant ice creams - in this case tarragon. It was a fabulous end to the meal and Avril was equally delighted with her lemon crème brulee - complete with a beautiful 'Happy 5th Anniversary' chocolate piping, a wonderful and hugely appreciated touch that sums up the warm and friendly approach of everybody involved in the restaurant.
Aside from the fantastic food though the thing that I adore most about The Bass & Lobster is the overall vibe. It feels like a place where everybody involved has a genuine love and passion for what they are doing and there is a strong cohesion between the kitchen and the front of house...it feels laid back and playful but without compromising on providing the very best quality. The chefs are given total freedom to cut loose and have fun and innovate with their dishes (are next visit simply has to take in one of their famous cook offs) and the front of house staff really understand the menu and the ethos of the place.
We had planned on this being our only Jersey visit this year. Thanks to The Bass & Lobster however, I'm almost certain we'll be back in time for Tennerfest. Thanks again for everything.

My mum had been following the Facebook page a while before our holiday to Jersey and had suggested we visit. We certainly were not disappointed, the restaurant itself has an ideal location, it is friendly and informal which is great, and the staff / owners really make you feel at ease and enjoy a good bit of humour with their guests. 2 of our party opted for the oysters to start, and they were superb! 2 of the party opted for the fish cake starter ( I said how boring) however I was proved wrong as they were amazing and far from boring. The mains were delicious, from the NOT boring fish and chips, steaks and the catch of the day which on the day we visited was bream! All gorgeous! When it came to desert.....well we were spoilt for choice! The array of ice creams and sorbets are fabulous! I opted for a popular flavour of ice cream but it was presented and tasted beautiful! They say Jersey is the gem of the sea, this restaurant is certainly a gem of Jersey! I would highly recommend to anyone visiting this amazing island, my only regret is we are not here long enough to revisit but we sure will be back when next here....a fresh, innovative and very tasty menu! With fabulous service to match!

We had dinner with friends at the Bass & Lobster and loved the experience.
Kirstie, the manager together with her staff made us welcome from the start which together with the restaurants decor, lay out, & superb mouth watering menus created a fun ambiance.
We all ordered the dinner set menu (ÂŁ19.50 for 2 dishes or ÂŁ25 for 3, lunch ÂŁ15 & ÂŁ19.50 respectively) and were all delighted by our choices which were beautifully presented & delicious. The 30+ ice team & sorbet choice justifies a page in the menu on its own with plenty of options for the adventurous!
A great night out.
Highly recommended.

Where to start .... A Gem of a place...fantastic front of house staff, welcomming, charming and so knowledgeable on wines, and food pairings, great menu, love the competition menu between the Chefs, and Head Chef is so talented, he is up their with the greatest Chefs. Never had a bad experience here at all. This whole team works so well together, they are the Gem of Gorey. Had doubts to post my review because if word gets out, of this fantastic restaurant, I might not be able to get booked in!

We loved this place. Nice atmosphere, super friendly and efficient staff and excellent food. We liked that they offered some slightly different options. From their dessert menu, we chose from the 30 different ice creams they have on offer - we chose a scoop of black butter and a scoop of sea radish. Worth having a try of any of the huge choice! Only down side is that we live on mainland UK so this had to sadly be a one-off visit! Can highly recommend.

We had a fantastic evening at the Bass & Lobster restaurant. Both staff and food were absolutely brilliant. The food we had was both delicious and very interesting (I wanted to try everything on the menu) and staff super helpful and accommodating. They really went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience, which we definitely did. We will be back, no doubt!

After visiting jersey last year, we headed back for a weekend, just my partner and I. We discovered this gem after hearing some great things & WOW were they right!
Everything was perfect right down to the last detail, so much so we ate there 3 times during our stay! I was determined to make my way through their ice cream board 😂 (check it out, it’s insane!) I managed 12 flavours though!
The front of house, Kirsty was so incredibly nice and welcoming, she guided my usually quite “plain” eating partner into trying the tempura oysters to which she LOVED, on our second visit she remembered our names and made us feel very special.
Must try: the lobster tail, duck leg confit and of course the ice creams! 💖
Can’t wait to visit again soon, thanks for making our holiday magical!

Great service, happy and attentive staff...but the reason to go here is the sea food. Fantastic. Give it a go, you’re more than likely to be delighted.

Revisited this restaurant for lunch and wondered why we'd left it so long! Very warm welcome - excellent Table d'Hote at a very reasonable price. Jersey Royals and Nettle soup original and tasty. Mushroom tagliatelle best I've ever had and the Stilton ice cream HAS to be sampled.
