This place has great food and service. It is able to deal with big groups very well just as it is smaller families or couples. Always a good go to reliable restaurant that you will enjoy.

We went there for my 30th birthday for a Saturday Lunch. There were 20 of us. The staff were particularly helpful and happy, especially Aigars!
The food was delicious and everyone raved about how good it was. Fantastic value for money. We will be back!

We went with two friends, making four of us. You need to book most Saturday nights. The food was excellent, service cheerfully and quick. The wine list both reasonable and varied. All of these things add up to a great night.
The food is a little different being adventurous without being pretentious, great flavours and thus quite surprising. The restaurant area is modern slick and you can see the food being cooked.
We have been a few times and shall keep returning, the menu seems to change to match the seasons.

My kids, wife and I were returning from the morning at the castle in Gourey. Hungry, we were looking for a local pub grub. Right on A3 west of Gourey we drove past this place and decided to stop. The staff were welcoming and started by trying to match our names with the reservations list. Later we found out we were lucky to take the only unreserved table. Indeed the place was full to capacity by mid lunchtime. The tennerfest menu was not disappointing, every dish was superbly presented and cooked to perfection. The chef seemed to favour dishes served in little pots or in a pot shape:) - potted salmon, beef cheeks, shepherds pie, and even the cheesecake was served in a glass pot (so we could not take it away with us). But unspoiled by this quirky feature every dish tasted SUPREMELY, fives stars! The staff were very attentive to our needs and we left this place very happy. Thanks for such a great culinary experience!

Went on a Tuesday night and the place was busy - just as well we booked. The Tennerfest menu looked really good but we went for the a la carte. The staff were relaxed and efficient and the service was well paced. The food was really good with slightly unusual twists to the dishes. The food was a little pricey but worth it. I would recommend a visit.

Wow. I've reviewed The Atlantic as five star recently so what can I give this? It was better! We had a meal here mid week and it was very quiet despite the tennerfest menu. We ate some on and dome off the tennerfest menu and loved it. We had the potted shrimps and stuffed mushroom to start followed by both types of scallops. The tastes of all four dishes were outstanding. I am not very adventurous when it comes to food but everything worked to perfection. As we were still a little early for the movies - Captain Phillip's (really enjoyable and isn't that Hanks bloke annoyingly good) - we opted for the taster pudding. Now I don't normally do puddings but this dish was fabulous. A couple of glasses of the decent house wine and we were set up. A quick thank you to the three chefs and we were on our way.

We went to Bass & Lobster last year when the Tennerfest was on and could not believe the menu choices - once again this year they have put together an excellent Tennerfest menu - it is well worth going - the food is excellent as is the service and once you have tried the menu you will definitely be back during the month

A nice tennerfest menu, liviely atomosphere without being over powering noisy execllent service. I have been to this restaurant before, and enjoyed it; but this time I particularly noticed the service.
The staff were friendly and attentive without constantly asking if everything was "all night", any requests were delt with promptly and you felt they were really enjoying what they were doing.

Resently ate twice at the reasurant whilst staying in Gorey. The first time was a Thursday evening when it was about half full. We choice from the set menu which had a good number of choices. The food was excellent and really good value. We were so impressed with booked there and then for the Saturday evening. When we told them we were staying in the area they appeared most surprised and it became evident that majority of the dinners were locals - always a good sign. Saturdays food was again very good, but only the a'l'carte menu was available which is more expensive, but when the food is that good who is complaining.

On my recent visit to Jersey, I had lunch twice at the Bass and Lobster which is a great favourite of a friend of mine and both times we had an excellent meal. The menu is adventurous but not ridiculous and the prices are very competitive and I recommend anyone thinking of trying it to do so, but make sure that you are hungry as the portion sizes are not for the faint hearted. I shall be returning on my next visit and it is certainly the best restaurant in its class on Jersey. Well done.

We visit the Bass & Lobster more than any other on Jersey & its not often I write any reviews however after our last visit on Friday I feel the need to give credit where it's due as we are never disappointed. The food is always excellent the set menu is is great value with plenty of choice, the pestachio creme brûlée was delicious, we are lucky to have a Restaurant like this on our doorstep.

We recently spent a Friday evening here for a family meal, and left disappointed after a very average experience.
The restaurant was very busy according to the rushed & apologetic staff that seated us, gave us menu's & asked to take our drinks order, we asked for 2 minutes.. 20 minutes later we had to get someone's attention to take our drinks order & food order. Drinks wise I seemed to have ordered the last Peroni in the house without realising it, strange but these things happen..
Again we were told that they were busy, yet there was a empty table next to us.. still there was a lot of noise from other tables making us struggle to have a conversation.Some 45 minutes later our starters arrived. As sometimes happens my wife & I both ordered the same dishes- The homemade pork & corizo scotch egg with mustard mayo & spiced red pepper dressing, when they arrived the 2 dishes were far from identical, my wife's lacked some presentation. That said they were tasty.
For mains we'd ordered pork belly, which rather than the usual pave (square) look came rolled, this is the first time we'd seen it done this way, taste wise it was ok but nothing special.Jersey has some excellent restaurants with the standards been very high, after our 1st visit we feel The Bass & Lobster still has a lot of work to do.

Absolutely amazing food. Great service. Very friendly staff. Great location. It is very pricey but what else can you expect? If you fancy a really good quality meal in a beautiful location and just want to splash out that little bit more, head for this place!

My wife and I visited here on a Saturday evening and were offered a fixed price two course menu by a waitress. On deciding what we would have a waiter came to take the order and told us it was 'a la carte' on a Saturday and the fixed price set menu was not available. So we started to look and order again and then ordered, what fantastic food, so well cooked and presented and we really enjoyed it, so under marks for excellent being slightly disappointed by the original offer of the set menu. (a training issue?). Will go again when in Jersey (when the set menu is on!)

Out first time at this restaurant following reading the reviews - needless to say we weren't disappointed! We went to the early bird dinner at 6pm and what good attentive service and most excellent cuisine! So much so, we booked to go again this week before returning home from our holiday!

First time at the bass and lobster. The set menu was great plenty of choice and a lot of the dishes sounded appealing.
Had the fish cake and lamb. Both were very tasty. Service was friendly and efficient .
Would happily go back for the well priced set menu again.

Lovely food, varied blackboard menu. Except Saturday there is a very well priced fixed price menu. For the regulars this could change more often. The meat dishes are as good as the fish ones, despite the name this is not just a fish restaurant. The taster platters are big enough to share and the wine selection varied. Easy to get the bus from town, plenty of places in Gorey for a drink in the evening sun. In my experience the restaurants out of town are the best!

On arrival, not much attention given, this was the theme throughout the evening from serving staff. Food was of good quality and presentation as expected. The failing for us was the attitude of the staff. Perhaps this is different if customers are known to them!

I was one of a group of six on a busy Friday night. One of the group is allergic to dairy, and the staff always checked what she could eat and, if necessary, change the menu for her so that she could have things. I had the Scotch Egg, followed by Tempura "Catch of the Day" - both were fantastic, along with all of the other people's in my group. All food was great. The table we were sat on was big so lots of space for us which was great when there were lots of glasses. The service again was brilliant. Would most definitely go back their again when we are next in Jersey!

We love it here - we travel to jersey regularly to visit family and always come here! Great food and no complaints over portion sizes. We would recommend the "assiette" of deserts (miniature versions of 3 deserts).

We were a party of 6 sight seeing Gorey harbour and looking for a lunch venue, we came across the Bass and Lobster on the main road. What a find ! we had the lunch special menu at a fixed price for 2/3 courses. The food quality and portion size was beyond expectation, thank you for a great lunch.

Recommended by friends' recent experience we booked for a midweek trial of the set menu. It was much busier than expected on a Tuesday and the staff clearly were rushed. The service, however, was pleasant despite the wait between courses. The meal was excellent and a starter and main course for £15 was terrific value. The surprise came with the bill...I pointed out that the drinks ( wine aperitif and tea ) had been omitted ...no charge because we had had to wait between courses ! Unexpected and unasked for and the delay had not been so excessive as to spoil the meal. We shall be back, so customer service pays off.
