The Bass and Lobster
Latest Reviews
A restaurant that seems to be trying to appeal to everyone I could not simply describe it, however the food we had was fresh and well cooked and if you read the menu before booking you will not be disappointed

One word, FABULOUS!! Visited the restaurant whilst on holiday in Jersey. Had heard of it and was pleased to come across it walking back to my hotel from the beach. What a find ☺, for me a perfect place for a meal for any occasion, very relaxed yet special, great service, ambience and menu without the pretentiousness or elevated prices of other places of this standard. The menu and specials were so to my taste it was very hard to choose, so was delighted when I could 'mix and match', bringing me to service which was unobtrusive but smooth and professional. Dining alone can sometimes be slightly awkward but definitely not here, I felt perfectly welcome and treated in a friendly manner as were the other diners.
I ordered antipasti and hand dived scallops on truffle risotto and honestly this was the finest meal I have ever eaten, beautifully presented, exactly what I expected, generous and delightful.Whilst having coffee I asked Anna my waitress if she could order me a taxi back to my hotel, incredibly she actually drove me there!! Now I realise this is probably not the restaurant policy but genuine kindness which just topped off this truly magical meal.
Do not hesitate to visit this place, whilst in Jersey,in fact put it at the top of your list if you are a food lover.

Was expecting more after reading the reviews.
The food was ok nothing special. Lacking of seasoning big time.
The table was not fully set and the salt was empty.

Have dined here several times and the food has been consistantly good. Local ingredients, some interesting dishes and specials which change daily. Nice friendly staff. It can get busy so best to book your table.

Called in on the off chance and got the last available table. So friendly and welcoming. Superb food and excellent service. Set menu, two courses £18 and three for £22. I had squid and king prawns in tempura, delicious. (From a la carte) kids too chose from a la carte, steak, which looked delicious and Mr P from set menu. All first class. Must remember to book next time!

Wednesday night and no dinner reservations so we just followed some confident looking diners into the Bass and lobster. Our timing was good - we slotted in perfectly. Some later tables had a wait.
Restaurant is very pretty. Bread served as standard and also water. Good good ! Wine was also good. 3 girls (ladies) were efficient , friendly and competent. Busy but coping very well.There is a window to the kitchen where three chefs looked the part. Perhaps they could have been stretched a little more. Our food was average but my cheesecake pudding was very good. Some of these dishes could have been done by numbers in a chain restaurant without the expense of these 3 guys. Some more oomph needed to make this place great.

I live on jersey and have eaten at most restaurants on a number of occasions, bass and lobster is head and shoulders above them all! Every item on the menu is outstanding ranging from the scallops to the steak. The atmosphere is always excellent and the staff always helpful. Easily my favourite restaurant on the island and very reasonable in terms of price

My dad lives in Gorey so when I come over to visit the island there is a check list of things to do as a treat and having a meal at the Bass and Lobster is one of them as i have been there a few times and never disappointed with everything, food the staff. This time was special as it was just me and my wife we arrived at 19:45 and was seated fast we ordered wine that did not take long to come to the table although it was busy my wife and I then ordered our food which was hard because of the choices of what all looked lovely we had a bass and Lobster platter to share which was really tasty, that had pate goats cheese with spring onions which was accompanied with toast also on the board was oysters which my wife had as I'm not sure I would like them and smoked salmon and capicho a sort of cold tomato soup which was full of flavour. Our wine that was in the cool bucket was never picked up by either me or my wife as the waitress would top up our glasses we did not have to wait to long for our starters to be cleared up then our mains which looked like Michelin stared food my wife had the grilled brill that had souted Jersey potatoes and a cream sauce I had a filet of pork stuffed with black pudding and wrapped in parma ham with veg and jus we both demolished our meals leaving nothing on our plates we were asked if we wanted to leave it for a bit before we decided a pudding which was nice because some places like to rush you and it feels like they want the next people in but definitely not here also by now we both on our second bottle of wine my wife ordered a sort of sundae thing that had white chocolate mouse and fruit and order a creme brulle that came with a cherry sorbet that made it that little bit special. So all round happy with the food and service and love coming back.

This is our fourth trip to this restaurant in as many years. We had booked weeks in advance but this time we left disappointed. The food was very good but the speed of service was painfully slow. We arrived at 8 and were seated quickly. It took 30 mins staring at our menu before we could place an order and a full hour before my wife got anything to eat other than bread. After the main courses finished a further 20 mins to get a bill which I only got by walking towards the bar asking how to pay. The two staff that were front of house were trying their best but seems they need either more staff or more in the kitchen to meet the demand. Feels like an experienced manager is needed as the food deserves better ! We did not have deserts but 2.10 mins to have two courses is far too slow and becomes irritating with Children sitting patiently as they can. I appreciate it is not the Atlantic but they could learn something by the way they run a restaurant with levels of efficiency and service seldom seen. It takes years to build a reputation and months to destroy it ....who ever owns the Bass and Lobster they need to get a grip quickly.

My husband and I with our two children (11 & 20), decided to visit this restaurant and had a lovely meal. We were given a nice table and the staff were very friendly. The menu suited us all with a great variety of dishes. The set menu would have been good but we decided to go á la carte. Even though it was busy we weren't kept waiting and were able to have a break before the dessert !

Food was great as always, staff especially friendly and accommodating. Set menu's unbeatable for the money, hopefully they keep it up. My favorite restaurant on island.

Wow! Love this restaurant.
It was really busy and has great atmosphere & the staff are really friendly. It was buzzing. Had an amazing meal.
I had sea bass & lobster, it was delicious. All meals were beautifully presented & very tasty.
There is limited parking outside the Bass & Lobster but there is car park just down the road, no more than 2minutes walk away.

This venue was chosen by some friends we were meeting for lunch. It is somewhere that they know well and was a good choice.
Two of us had the hake and two the confit of belly pork and both were very good. Our caramel cheesecake with popcorn came served in a small open Kilner Jar; rather novel and quite light and tasty.
A very pleasant dining experience.

This is the best restaurant in Gorey if you want home made chips and I know as I am a connoisseur! There is plenty of choice in the area but if you want my favourite of steak and chips, it seems to be the only place that still provides 'real' chips. Whatever your choice is you will not be disappointed as it is a very varied menu and the atmosphere and staff excellent. Don't miss it if you are in Jersey.

Our first night in Jersey and our first time on the island. This was a comfortable 20 minute stroll from our hotel and was well worth a visit. We had not booked a table so were very pleased they could fit us in on a Saturday night. Plenty of people had bookings after us, many of whom seemed to have dined there before and knew the staff. We were looked after very well and the food was wonderful. We chose from the set menu. For starters I had gaspacho and my hubby had gravalax with shellfish on a potato pancake in a lovely cream sauce. Both starters were presented beautifully and tasted divine. For main course we both had belly of pork which was presented with the most lovely potato & chorizo cake, parsnip puree and seasonal veg which we polished off easily. Dessert was just the perfect size - a sliver of peach sponge with coconut icecream for me and a beautifully presented cheeseboard for hubby. We were delighted with our first night's meal in Jersey at The Bass & Lobster and would not hesitate to recommend. The only thing we felt could have been better was to have not felt so rushed. No sooner had we finished one course, then the next was placed in front of us. Since then, having been in Jersey for a couple of days now, this seems to be the norm.

Visited for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our daughter too. We were made to feel very welcome and the staff were very friendly. The choices on the menu were great on both the a la carte and set menu. We opted for a la carte and our daughter had a children's meal which was a very good size and she enjoyed it. Our food was very good too.The restaurant itself had a good feel about it and was very relaxed. A most enjoyable evening. We will go again.

We are Jersey locals and regularly visit The Bass and Lobster.
Always very friendly and we have never had a bad meal. The price is reasonable and the food is good. I regularly have the tasting plate as a starter followed by one of the blackboard specials.

Went there for a lunch recently with my partner. Have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. It was simple, but delicious and reasonably priced . Recommend it highly

Very pleasant ambience, very attentive staff and a first class enjoyable meal. Just in Jersey for the week and took advantage of a local offer for this set meal in Gorey. Although the offer was for a set meal there was at least four choices of each of the three courses, and there was a good selection for each. Will definitely be returning and sending my daughter, who lives in Jersey to sample this fine restaurant. Thanks!
