meal for two ,restaraunt not overly busy food pretty good , service a bit slow not impressed with potatoes to say they were jersey royals a bit pretencious for my liking but each to there own

Can't fault the service or most f the food but the bream was disappointing. I thought it was common knowledge that if you serve fish with the skin on it should be crisped -scraping the slimy grey off to the side of the plate is not pleasant!

We ate here recently and were very impressed by the great service and quality of the food.

We went for a family lunch and had several different dishes from the menu, all beautifully presented and delicious!

We would highly recommend it if visiting the area.

Always impressed with this restaurant and tonight was no exception. Good food and service amazing. Owners please put more staff on as the ladies were run off their feet. Thank you for making our visit so pleasurable

There’s nothing really wrong with this restaurant but it was just very average in our view. It was very noisy on the evening we visited but that can’t be helped.

We hadn’t been to the Bass & Lobster for quite some time due to demands of childcare, plus we’d had a couple of not quite so good experiences the last couple of times we’d dined there. So, babysitter arranged, off we went for a Friday evening dinner. I’m happy to report it was back to it’s best ! We skipped starter but the restaurant kindly brought us an amuse bouche of beetroot gravlax which was yummy (it actually features as a starter and I’d highly recommend it). For mains, we both chose off the board. I had Surf and a Turf and my wife Sea Bass. Both were superb, my only irritation that my wife kept helping herself to my truffle chips which disappeared too quickly. No starter means dessert - again splendid ! My wife chose the pavlova and started making those When Harry met Sally Meg Ryan noises. I think she liked it. I had a burnt chocolate almond tart thing which was very nice but perhaps slightly too smokey for my own palate. All this was accompanied by an Argie Malbec which was very good value and highly drinkable. We left very happy and will return soon. Well done to Anna and her team !

There is a very good set menu but i chose from the specials board and was not disappointed. I started with Lobster tempura and Asian slaw with pineapple, mango and chilli sauce and followed it with Scallops,Jersey asparagus, cauliflower puree, tomato salsa and Parma ham crisp.It was delicious and beautifully presented. With chocolate brownies for dessert and great coffee to finish I couldn't have asked for a better meal all served up by friendly and helpful staff.

We went for a Father's Day lunch with my Dad and husband. The meal was absolutely delicious, from the home made bread to the chocolates with coffee and everything in between. The service was also superb, with a team of young people who seemed genuinely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about their work.

Taken by our daughter for Fathers Day lovely welcome and sfaff excellent. Homemade bread and food very fresh Also chocolates with the coffee.Wine not over priced like most restaurants in Jersey now . Will go back again.

This was a first visit; lunchtime for five people. We received a pleasant welcome and were served with homemade bread whilst we made our choices from the £15 lunch menu. Ample choice for both meat and fish eaters. I opted for the Caesar salad (possibly he best I’ve had anywhere) and the fish and chips (beer battered cod served with delicious chips sprinkled with parmesan) which came with a side of pea purée and tartar sauce. There was a wide choice of desserts including homemade ice creams (vanilla, chocolate and hazelnut for me whilst another guest went for the Christmas pudding variety). With wines and a tip we spent £22 a head for what was a splendid lunch; not rushed and a very friendly service. Definitely worthy of a return visit. Car parking is on site and nearby in this delightful part of the island.

Booked lunch for my hubby and myself to celebrate our anniversary. Despite some negative reviews recently I have to say the food was just sublime with amazing quality that’s locally caught and produced. I had the crab and lobster bisque as a starter, a scallop and tempura beef as a main and my hubby had the turbot with samphire and jersey royals all of which delighted the senses and was just unbelievable. Over and above this, the Manager was incredible. She went above and beyond what was expected. We received a free entree which consisted of beef medallions on a bed of pototoe salad and topped with a quails egg and then further to our surprise and delight receive a mouth watering dessert for our anniversary made up of brownies and lashing of cream and meringue.....oh my word thank you so much The Bass and Lobster for a gastronomic experience. We have been living in Jersey now for 5 months and by far this has been the best dining experience. Well done to the fantastic team at The Bass and Lobster.

Many people I met during a recent business trip raves about this place so it began with high expectations. The food was good but not anything to rave about. My risotto with smoked fish had three bits of fish in what was a fairly ordinary and bland risotto. It wasn’t expensive but perhaps the reputation is beyond the actuality.

Sadly I was disappointed after hearing good reviews. I felt let down by the staff not much customer care. Mix up on the order when it came out. Food was good quality but the fish and chips lacked fish more batter than fish. No complaints about the quality of the food. I felt we were given choosing off a set menu as there was ten of us and they had already had a busy lunch service. I’m going to give it one more try just two of us to see if they can improve.

On a trip to Jersey we were pointed in the direction of this wonderful culinary experience.
We ate from the set menu with an open mind as to the quality of the food. We order ed, whilst waiting for our starters the home made bread arrived with two different types of local butter. Mouth watering would not describe what a delight this was light in texture very tasty on the palette.
Our starters arrived Fish Cake pour moi and Lobster & Crap Bisque for my girlfriend. Quality quality quality. Mains arrived Sea Bass On Jersey Royal Salad. I had locally sourced Cod with Hand Cooked Chips Tartar Sauce and Pea Puree. WOW.
Starting to feel very very full we shared the Brioche Bread and Butter Pudding expecting it to be a little heavy it was surprisingly light tasty and complimented our meal.
This venue has a great atmosphere very very attentive and knowledgable staff who praise the local ingredients used in their food. Some of which came from the restaurants garden.
We have one day left of our trip and will be returning for lunch which is even better value than the evening meal we had.
This is a must visit and for quality and value for money unbeatable.

We called on the off chance after visiting Mont Orgueil and wished we’d found this fabulous place before our last day on hols. We opted for the £15 3 course lunch special and couldn’t believe the choices. Expecting small portions for that price we couldn’t have been more wrong. Each course was beautifully presented and delicious and full size. The fish and chips were particularly good and the home made ice cream was outstanding. The service was attentive and courteous. We couldn’t recommend this place more highly.

A very buy restaurant which usually means that the food should be good but not always..
Starters were ok with the exception of the Foie Gras which had the life cooked out of it never had rubbery Foie Gras before...Main courses were again just ok but with the exception of the Turbot which was so small and on top of cold mash potatoes not up to much..Expensive for what was a medicore meal.

Having read excellent reviews on TA decided to try the 3 course £15 lunch for ourselves. Fabulous. All beautifully presented and delicious. Just for the record we both had the beetroot, feta and quinoa salad, catch of the day with samphire, salsa and Jersey royal salad, then bread and butter pudding with apricot ice cream. To include the divine homemade bread was an added bonus. Fortunately we live nearby so this will become a regular haunt. Why can't more restaurants be like this? They deserve to be mobbed every day!

Personally I did not like the modern style of this open bar/restaurant but it was busy so the ambience was buzzy, and somewhat raucous with a large group of somewhat inebriated lady golfers. The service was friendly, the menu covered all bases (pity that they ran out of the brill main) and the wine list reasonable. The food was a bit mixed but overall good. I particularly liked my whitebait starter, very different from the normal. This is almost a good restaurant and certainly one of the better ones in Gorey (see my review of Sumas).

Recommended by a local shopkeeper, in Goray, so we thought we would give it a go.
We arrived early with no reservation to see if they had a free table. We were greeted by Anna who gave us a very warm welcome it quickly became clear to us that the food here is extraordinary. The wonderful flavours and attention to detail are an absolute delight, produced and presented by people with a passion for what they do.There is no pretension here, these people are genuinely nice and work very hard to give the best experience to every customer. We were so impressed that we returned for the remaining two nights of our holiday. Many thanks to Anna and Gatis and the three brilliant chefs. We would not hesitate to recommend.

When searching for a restaurant to sample some quality seafood, this restaurant came up. As it was liberation day (9th May) and the last evening of our mini break, we booked a table at the Bass & Lobster. On arrival we received a very warm welcome by Anna who showed us to our table. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the tables were well spaced. Dill flavoured bread arrived whilst we perused the menu. The crab to start was amazing, as were the Tempura prawns and squid. But the Scallops were simply divine. Bread and Butter pudding with Apricot ice cream to finish is a must! A great restaurant with a great team. Thank You, we will be back. Michelle & Chris, St Neots, Cambridge. 👍😁

We found the Bass and Lobster by accident on the first night of our 4 night stay..wow, talk about happy accidents! We were amazed that the price was so reasonable considering the quality and the ethos of using fresh and local ingredients. We were looked after and warmly welcomed by Anna and ordered from the set menu on the first night ( Thursday) 2 courses for under £20.00, we shared a starter, had a main each and shared the sweet. After ordering fresh home made daily bread and butter arrived at our table and after one taste I knew this would be very special indeed. I cant ever remember having such a wonderful, tasty and fresh meal, every element was careful considered and made completely from scratch..including the lemon mayonaise and salsa verde on the fishcake starter - delish!! I had the lamb and new Jersey pots and hubby had the fish and chips - Wow! My husband was also blown away and we couldnt help but taste and try all the elements of each others dishes. Bread and butter pudding and home made apricot ice cream to finish..and my mouth is watering thinking about it!!
I woke up the next morning and was thinking about what I could choose off the menu that night. We turned up that night without booking and looking less than glamorous after a tough day walking on the North coast and Anna found us a table and greeted us like old friends. That night we both had to try the 'Stinky bay burger' again attention to details rules with the quality meat, home made bacon jam and own smoked cheese, We had the whitebait and pea and wild garlic soup as starters. But no room for dessert! Again a wonderful meal, lovely atmosphere and such lovely staff. We loved watching the chefs from our table, they looked so passionate and diligent
On our next night - Saturday, we booked a table as there was no way we were missing out! We looked forward to the meal all day after a good days walking and touring the Island. We didnt eat all day...there was no way I was missing out on dessert! Again another amazing night, outstanding food, and atmosphere...and the dessert, Chocolate, salted caramel, bitter orange tart with wild garlic ice cream...it should work..but my god it does!
Thanks so much to Anna and the team for wonderful food, taste experiences and lovely holiday memories, we will see you again..we are checking out the flights!

During our visit to Jersey we bumped into a guy who is a scallop diver and supplies the local area with fresh scallops. He recommended this restaurant to us for their fresh sea food. We couldn't turn down a story like that and so we booked a table. Of course we ordered the scallops, which were not a disappointment. The whole meal was excellent, including flavors and recipes you certainly don't get in our local restaurants back home. The wife ordered a burnt dark chocolate desert with garlic ice cream. Not something I would attempt to cook at home, but it was real winner. The ambiance in the restaurant is very chilled and light, the staff equally chilled and light. We ordered a starter and desert each (strange I know), plus wine. The bill came to about £25 each, a bargain for the quality of the evening.

Absolutely blown away our experience at The Bass and Lobster on Friday night.
We've been a few times before which have been nice, but Anna has elevated the menu and service to a new level.
THIS is what restaurants should be like in Jersey. The menu and ambience are absolutely spot on and something I haven't experienced on our island for quite a while.
You have to try the Pink Peppercorn Gin for an aperitif. You can thank me later...
To eat, we shared the tempura prawns and calamari to start which were superb. I defy anyone to make tempura batter that light and crispy whilst cooking the seafood that well.
I followed with the tuna, which again was cooked to perfection.
Not one normally for dessert, but when you're offered a coconut panna cotta, there's aways room.
Anna is an absolute delight and deserves massive success. Long may this continue as it's now our go-to local restaurant.

A last minute decision to pop into the Bass and Lobster for dinner on a Friday night after checking the reviews on trip advisor, luckily they had an early table for 2. Can't even remember the last time we had been to this restaurant and now we are asking ourselves why! We had a delicious meal, starting with the pink peppercorn gin, (to die for), followed by tempura squid & prawns in the lightest batter I have ever had, we both had fish for a main which was superb, and shared a coconut panacotta, we were both in heaven. The service was excellent, the atmosphere casual and friendly. Thank you Anna and the team we be back very soon.

I have not reviewed this restuarant for sometime, but Anna and her great team continue to improve. A new exciting menu which of course includes daily fresh fish and locally foraged wild garlic means great tasting food.
I had the foie gras yesterday which was cooked to perfection followed by a burger which included a local beer and new Jersey potatos was superb.We were also treated to a taste of a cucumber sorbet which was divine and would work well with their home smoked locally caught mackerel. A great place to eat
