We had a fabulous meal here whilst on holiday in Jersey. Top marks to the chef and indeed all the staff for such a great meal and service. I tried two restaurants on thebestof Jersey and they were both amazing (thebest).

On holiday in Jersey. This restaurant is a clear favourite. The food was fresh, imaginative, delicious and beautifully presented . Very good value. Staff are lovely. Nice ambience. Contemporary decor. Going back for last night of the holiday. Recommended

It may be nine months since our last visit to this under-rated brasserie style restaurant bur Kirstie and Anna give you such a warm welcome, it might only have been yesterday!
There are a la carte and table d'hote menus to give a wide choice of fish and meat dishes and the chances are you will not be disappointed. We took starters and main courses from the very reasonably priced table d'hote menu which were so satisfying we had to abandon puddings!
The beverages are also very pleasing with a most acceptable choice of wines together with draught lager should you wish.
Well done everyone. We had a wonderful dinner and we will not leave it so long until next time

We were warmly welcomed and well looked after. The food was lovely. I chose two starters in order to leave room for dessert. Just as well as the tempura oysters sitting on a little bed of Asian slaw were delicious but generous in quantity. For my next course I had the scallops with pea puree, broccoli and walnut - nicely presented and again delicious. My husband had fish cake and fish and chips. I couldn't help taking some of his chips they were yummy! There was an amazing choice of ice creams but I'm afraid we chose the brownie and creme brûlée as we know what we like although we did have a taster of the oyster ice cream!

I always take visiting family and friends here for great food and to sample Jersey’s local ingredients. I love that the menu changes per season (they do keep the favourites but they manage to add a twist!). The prawn tempura is my absolute favourite (very light and crispy batter each time). Don’t leave without checking the ice cream/dessert menu to find surprisingly good concoctions! The staff are very friendly and approachable too!

This place had been recommended before we went so was booked a week or so out and I am glad we did as it was full. Staff really interacted especially with the menu. The food was super gorgeous with contrasting flavours and washed down with an amazing Fleurie or two

The food was excellent, using fresh local produce. Friendly and efficient service and most welcoming - we were even remembered on a return visit! An interesting menu - the set lunch was very good value. Highly recommended!

We were quickly shown to a table and a high chair was provided for the smallest of us.
There is a children’s menu.
We understood that this is a seafood restaurant so we were surprised and disappointed that there was so little seafood on the menu. We did find fish that we thought we would like, so I suppose that makes the choice adequate.
The children chose from their menu. They are at an age where they often eat adult meals but none appealed to them.
When the food arrived the adults thought it was ok but not special. The children left theirs. I had little tasters and sympathise. The chef had put effort into tailoring special dishes where bog standard would probably have been more appropriate.
The children has dessert. Most of the unusual (read weird) ice cream choices are distinctly adult but they found some that looked normal. They weren’t.
My verdict is that adults could have a great meal here but don’t bring children.

I'm utterly shocked to see any poor reviews of the Bass & Lobster - the lunch I had there was one of the finest i've ever had. My wife and I were truly bowled-over by the experience at this place. The service was impeccable, as too was the attention to detail. Nice hand-illustrated recipes adorn the walls, beside the well-stocked bar. The food was absolutely faultless - the flavour combinations and thought that has gone into the menu is astounding. The ice-cream flavours are like something out of a Roald Dahl novel. I would highly recommend the Lamb burger if you aren't in the mood for seafood, and a side of the parmesan/truffle chips regardless of your situation. You'd think that all this would come with a hefty price-tag, but, alas, you could easily spend more in Wagamama's - it's around 20-30/head. We went back for a second visit a couple of days later and this only confirmed our first impressions. In conclusion, we would class the Bass & Lobster as the jewel in the crown of Jersey and a most-underrated establishment. Miss it at your peril...!

Haven't visited this establishment for sometime however was pleasantly surprised by the service, food and price. Highly recommended for some great dishes and the "unusual" ice creams!! Will definitely return again soon.

Pre booked via the website, a couple of days before our visit to jersey. Tight on time. They recommended contacting them if any delay. Despite heavy winds, numerous ferries cancelled, we had a prompt short flight on time.
So arrived at the restaurant, spot on 8pm, as per our booking.
Enthusiastically met by Kirsty, who’d even checked the flight arrival.
First impression, very tasty decor & well laid out.
Kirsty was lovely. Chatty, caring, explained all the menus etc.
We opted for the special price set Menu of £15 per person for a 3 course meal
Rather than detail the food, look on their website.
It was simply fantastic, every course, we both had different meals, starters, mains and deserts were incredibly well presented! mouth watering tasty ! And a thorough delight from the first mouthful to the last
All nicely washed down with a very nice Pinot, again well priced at just £15
Great interaction with Kirsty, the manager, and her polish gent waiter.
We met Kirsty,s husband the Chef from Wales, on the way out & thanked him for such a beautiful experience.
It goes to show, that you do not have to pay large some for top quality food
We will be back, possibly again in our short stay, if not, definitely visiting the island next year and we will head straight to The Bass & Lobster
Well done to all the team
A delightful experience

We spent a most enjoyable evening at the Bass and Lobster, which is well served by the bus from St Helier meaning we could all have some of their delicious sauvignon blanc! We all choose different fish dishes for starters and mains and none of us were disappointed. They also offer plenty of meat options for non fish eaters so its the perfect location to cater for different people's preferences. The staff were all very friendly and the service efficient. The restaurant has a wonderful feel to it and will definitely be on our list to revisit when we next go to Jersey.

From the moment we were greeted by Anna, to leaving at the end of our delicious meal, we can’t fault The Bass & Lobster! The food is exceptional – beautiful, top quality ingredients, amazing colours & presentation…and the taste!! The value is amazing too…3 courses for £15 mid-week, with fantastic service, a relaxing atmosphere and exciting veggie options. This is the best food you’ll eat in Jersey. We’ll have to head back soon - and thank you for helping us celebrate 'Happy Birthday' and the beautifully decorated home-made ice-cream, complete with birthday candle! Highly recommended!!

We were being treated to a lunch out and what a treat! A lovely little restaurant with staff bending over backwards to give one a lovely experience. We started with a cocktail and followed with our meal which was excellent. A starter of fish which was presented beautifully and a main course of a very nice steak which was cooked to perfection. We could not fault this lovely restaurant and staff.

Went on a Tuesday evening, had their £15 3 course meal - Wow! Really good food and Anna is a star! Hubby enjoyed it so much he went back two nights later. Home made ice creams and sorbets are to die for! Michelin star quality food.

This is a lovely, if slightly eccentric place to eat. We arrived quite late for lunch on a very wet February day but were warmly welcomed. Drinks, once ordered, took rather a long time to arrive, particularly in view of the fact that the place was not busy. We were disappointed to find there was no lobster on the menu as we had specifically chosen to go there, assuming that the clue was in the name and that it would be their speciality. Nevertheless we enjoyed oysters, soup and foie gras as well as the special of the day - panko crumbed Pollock. Couldn't resist trying a couple of their weird ice-creams too but were somewhat underwhelmed.

We had sunday lunch for 6 including 3 kids. FIrst of all there was a great selection of roasts (beef, lamb, pork and duck) but then it wasn't the standard run of the mill - but some creativity and very good cooking!
A big plus was plenty of extra gravy and masses of extra potatoes. Highly recommended.
