I went with a couple of friends for drinks and then dinner. The Bass and Lobster serve fantastic, local, hand-dived scallops. They came with celeriac purée, pancetta and buerre blanc. Good, smart presentation and very good flavour.
The wine list is varied and interesting. We drank the Pouilly Fuisse which was exceptional.
Price/quality ratio is good. The only small negative would be the interior of the restaurant; a bit bland and uninviting. However, this is negated by the wonderful food and competent, friendly service.

A family group of us went here for a meal. The food was very good and service smart, but the wave of noise from people talking was not pleasant. My sister-in-law who has poor hearing, could hear nothing at all and so could not take part in our table's discussions and personally I found the noise so intense that is make me feel a bit off-colour. My wife & I gave up eating in Carluccio's restaurants years ago, because they went for such flat, hard surfaces. Four silly little sound attenuators hanging from the ceiling in the Bass & Lobster had no effect and are a testimony to poor design of the structure. Jersey is packed with good restaurants, serving good food - so a 'comfortable' environment is extremely important. I suspect we shall not be back.

Went there for lunch with friend. Decor was great, the service was great & lovely food. The only little niggle was the music, we were under the speaker & my friends found it annoying, I found the type of music annoying. Other than that we will be back but not at that table. Lovely lunch 👍

The food was very good and well presented. The restaurant itself was very busy with lots of life which is something we like (we don't like eating in a very quiet restaurant as it can feel a little awkward) but the down side is that it was very noisy. There are a couple of mushroom shapes attached to the ceiling (presumably to dampen noise) but they don't seem to make an effect. A "parachute" (obviously to Fire Regs) attached to the ceiling could soften the profile of the room and make it a more pleasant environment when it is busier (but there are other ways to do this as well)

Firstly the food was excellent and the staff the same .But we didnt like to see a chef in the kitchen who had long greasy hair ,who should have had a hat of some sort on .There was no atmosphere generally in the restaurant ,probably because its a bit bright in there ...... not rushing back .

Very smart décor since we last visited, modern and clean, good menu offers for budget prices. Head guy was efficient, but lacked any warmth or personal connection, the waitress was almost to the point of being surly, again efficient serving, but no smile to welcome us, or when she brought food or cleared away, hardly spoke at all.
No background music so you can hear conversations on other tables and the staff cold approach adds to the feeling of no atmosphere or friendly ambience.Shame, because food is good and nicely presented.... come on Bass & Lobster, you are serving people, not robots.!

We have been frequenting the Bass and Lobster for some years and still eat here on a regular basis.
Regardless of price, the quality of the food is excellent, with both the table d'hote and a la carte menus proving good value. The kitchen team maintain the same high standards time and time again. Although the food presentation is excellent, the emphasis is on taste.
The service has always been polite, charming, efficient and friendly, without the cloying obsequiousness to be found in some other restaurants. The atmosphere is relaxed and relatively informal, with discreet and interesting background music.
It's the sort of place, that, if you visit regularly, you will regularly see the same customers.

Having been here on every visit to Jersey it just gets better.
The service is great and the staff always friendly. Our meals were delicious. We all had different starters & mains. Each were beautifully presented & cooked to perfection.
We had an early evening meal with a 3year old & a baby & they were welcomed with open arms. High chair available & crayons & colouring sheet & children's menu's.It is an undeniably great restaurant.
