Just had a lovely meal with much children and husband. From the staff to the food, couldn't fault it. Lovely ambiance, delicious food and the staff are all so nice. It was our first time there and we really want to go back. Highly recommended!

We used to really rate the Bass and Lobster but felt it lost its way. New management took over last August and this was the first time we had been back since. It has regained all its previous good points, friendly service, a really nice atmosphere, good food and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The restaurant was buzzing with happy diners.
We had the set menu with a few choices from the A La Carte. I started with the Tempura prawns and squid that was delicious and followed it with the fish and chips - the chips were chunky and delicious but I probably overdosed on tempura having it for two courses.My wife had the mackerel pate as a starter followed by the Brill with risotto and was delighted with both her choices. My son went for the burger off the A La Carte menu and it was probably the best looking burger I've seen, stacked with bacon, egg etc and accompanied by a big bowl of chips and onion rings.
The table next to us went for the 'Posh' fish and chip off the A La Carte and it looked stunning and a really generous portion - that's my choice next time.I like the fact that you can order wine by the glass so various people can have their personal choice of red, rose or white and the wine was decent in large glasses.
I am very pleased that the Bass and Lobster has regained the charm it had when it first opened and we are indeed fortunate that it is a short walk from where we live so it will be on our list of regulars!Recommended and with its re-found glory, a great addition to the Gorey eating scene.

We stayed in jersey for a couple of days earlier this month.
We had driven past this place a couple of times and it was shut (Mondays), But we got in for lunch on Tuesday.
What a beautiful place. The dining room looks like a big French kitchen. it has wood floors and really nice amount of space between tables.
It has a lovely bar area and a kitchen you can see into as they cook.
we were greeted by a really friendly staff who made a real effort. Our waiter didn't just take a large glass of red without wanting to know what kind of red I liked discussed the strength and where I wanted the wine to come from. Went for the Malbec which I can recommend to you, served in high quality spotless glasses.
For my lunch I had scallops on a bed of truffle infused risotto with a garlic aioli. Absolutely beautiful.
That dish cost about £15.00 which was good but considering I got eight really great juicy scallops instead of the three or four I would have got in my home area, it was a steal.
When coming outside a across the road there is the most beautiful beach, and view of the castle across the bay.
If you are staying in St Helier as we were there is the no. 1 bus, that goes right past the restaurant, great if you want to have a beer and not drive and the bus route is beautiful up the coast road.
Couldn't find anything negative to say about the place except they shut at 2.30, although they are probably open more in season.

We had an excellent meal. My husband had the set meal (plenty of choice) and I had the A La Carte. The food was delicious and very good value. The staff were friendly and attentive. A most enjoyable evening.

A fantastic place to eat, drink and socialise. Great atmosphere with great service and super local food. The fish and crab dishes are fantastic. Well worth a visit. Well done all. You're getting it spot on.

The Bass and Lobster has developed a strong reputation for its brasserie type dining amongst its large local clientele. There are several really good restaurants in the area and the B&L competes well at all levels - cuisine, service and price.
There are both a la carte and table d'hôte menus to satisfy all palates and all pockets. Our last visit was as part of a group when when both dinner and service were entirely satisfactory - service is always a test when in a group. There is a reasonably but adequate wine list with the Don David always proving to be a popular choice.
Always an enjoyable experience - add it to your list of places to eat in Jersey

I had a meal at The Bass & Lobster on Saturday the 26th of March and was sadly disappointed we arrived 20 mins earlier than our table was booked for and was happy to stand at the bar and wait for our table with in 5 mins of standing we were seated at our table. we were happy by this point we looked over the menu that has not changed since opening and even changing hands we in its self is a bit disappointing. we proceeded in ordering our food then had to wait almost 45 mins for our starters which seemed like an awfully long time, they arrived and were lovely but again there is no real flair in the food. we finished our starters and they were cleared away and then there was another long wait for our mains almost an hour. when we order our mains two member of our group wanted fillet steak and we were told there was two left which was fine with us, sadly when they arrived one was meant to be medium rare and came out medium and the other was meant to medium and looked like a burger more than a fillet steak, when you are being charged almost £25 for a steak you do expect a good standard. they tried to make us feel better by taking £ pounds of the steak and giving us a free drink which we ere not told what it was it was just placed in front of us. All in all it was very sad and I don't think I will be returning as it was one of my favourite places to eat but not anymore. Sorry Bass & Lobster but I have to be honest.

This outing was courtesy of a voucher. The dining areas were quite cosy and welcoming. The meals we ordered were good and well presented. The service was slow because they were light on chefs that evening. (we were told) The food was really nice and I would recommend this place to anyone. The staff were nice and worked very hard. All in all, a pleasant experience.

Had a great meal, absolutely delicious! Good atmosphere & really friendly staff. The scallops were divine :) but plenty of choice for both seafood & steak. Just to mention the gazpacho was superb. Really worth a visit.
