I enjoyed another lovely meal with friends at The Bass and Lobster. I was particularly impressed by the knowledgeable and friendly staff as I my food has to be gluten free.

My mum had been following the Facebook page a while before our holiday to Jersey and had suggested we visit. We certainly were not disappointed, the restaurant itself has an ideal location, it is friendly and informal which is great, and the staff / owners really make you feel at ease and enjoy a good bit of humour with their guests. 2 of our party opted for the oysters to start, and they were superb! 2 of the party opted for the fish cake starter ( I said how boring) however I was proved wrong as they were amazing and far from boring. The mains were delicious, from the NOT boring fish and chips, steaks and the catch of the day which on the day we visited was bream! All gorgeous! When it came to desert.....well we were spoilt for choice! The array of ice creams and sorbets are fabulous! I opted for a popular flavour of ice cream but it was presented and tasted beautiful! They say Jersey is the gem of the sea, this restaurant is certainly a gem of Jersey! I would highly recommend to anyone visiting this amazing island, my only regret is we are not here long enough to revisit but we sure will be back when next here....a fresh, innovative and very tasty menu! With fabulous service to match!

We visited The Bass and Lobster back in November 2018. It was our first visit having managed to miss it on all our previous visits to Jersey and it quickly shot up an esteemed list to become our favourite restaurant on the island and was the only choice to celebrate our 5th anniversary this year. We were given the customary warm welcome by the superb staff and seated in a nice spot at the rear of the restaurant.
We had a browse through the extensive menus...there was a set menu, an a la carte and a seafood special menu so a huge amount of choice from which to select from.
My wife decided to work from the set menu whilst I went from the a la carte. She kicked off with the 'Happy Hens Egg' starter, one of the most popular dishes at the restaurant and she described it as one of the best starters she's ever had - it looked great in it's understated simplicity and tasted even better. I opted for the pan fried foie gras and it was also superb - a great start to the meal.
The follow up however was even better. Avril selected the fish and chips - a huge portion of locally caught cod with truffle chips and she couldn't have been happier with it...the mushy pea puree was a particular hit. My main could go down as the best main I've eaten - the trio of lamb. It was just complete perfection to the point where I was severely tempted to order another one for dessert.
Having resisted that urge, I plumped for the days dessert special which was a white chocolate, raspberry and pistachio brioche bread pudding with one of the restaurants signature extravagant ice creams - in this case tarragon. It was a fabulous end to the meal and Avril was equally delighted with her lemon crème brulee - complete with a beautiful 'Happy 5th Anniversary' chocolate piping, a wonderful and hugely appreciated touch that sums up the warm and friendly approach of everybody involved in the restaurant.
Aside from the fantastic food though the thing that I adore most about The Bass & Lobster is the overall vibe. It feels like a place where everybody involved has a genuine love and passion for what they are doing and there is a strong cohesion between the kitchen and the front of house...it feels laid back and playful but without compromising on providing the very best quality. The chefs are given total freedom to cut loose and have fun and innovate with their dishes (are next visit simply has to take in one of their famous cook offs) and the front of house staff really understand the menu and the ethos of the place.
We had planned on this being our only Jersey visit this year. Thanks to The Bass & Lobster however, I'm almost certain we'll be back in time for Tennerfest. Thanks again for everything.

And yet again, another superb experience at The Bass and Lobster...
Kirsty and her team consistently deliver new and innovative dishes based on local ingredients.
Yesterday's lunch was one of the best. The biggest problem was choosing what to have...
The fish dishes were so fresh and totally different to what we've ever seen. My razor clams were superb.
I've said it before, consistency is so important for me in a restaurant, and this is one of the few places I've been where it's always excellent.
A perfect lunch - thank you!
