What a brilliant restaurant. The chef is clearly very imaginative and mixes flavours and concepts that you would only expect in seriously high-end dining. Ever thought of having scallops with black pudding? Course you have. Everyone does that. But not everyone adds a cple of little scoops of tarragon ice cream do they? That's not a spellchecker error, that's tarragon ice cream, once tried never forgotten. The scallops, hand-dived from the bay outside the restaurant's front door, were cooked to perfection. Local seafood - and local produce in general - is something the proprietors are very proud of, and rightly so. Mains of a trio of lamb and the duck were also excellent prepared and plated immaculately. There is a fine selection of desserts in addition to a page's worth of home-made ice cream and sorbets. Basil ice cream showed that other herbs can also be used in the hunt for gelato perfection, but the red Thai curry ice cream.... What a way to finish the meal. The list also contains old favourites, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, honey so nobody should feel intimidated. And besides, Kirsty - the front of house - was a font of knowledge and couldn't have been more hospitable.
If you live locally, just go and count yourself as very fortunate indeed.

Happened to drive past so popped in for dinner. Decor is modern and the staff are very pleasant and knowledgeable about their food.
A good range of food, all locally sourced - daily specials, a la carte plus a set menu, so lots of choice.
Had a fab meal. This restaurant is a little gem.

Choose this restaurant based on reviews and what a treat.
Very good service from the moment we walked into the restaurant.
The explanation about what good as to what to expect as we ordered chicken curry. It was delicious although very different to a standard curry amongst the nicest dishes we have eaten.
A light meal followed by a delicious apple crumble, mum had brioche bread n butter pudding and that was exceptional too.
Very reasonable price for amazing food with s twist.
The couple running this restaurant aim to please in every aspect and they succeed.
Shame we haven’t time to go back but definitely will if I return to the island.
Thank you for a really enjoyable eve.

Whilst researching somewhere nice to eat for our trip to Jersey, I noticed that The Bass & Lobster had been recommended by a disgruntled diner at one of Gorey’s other restaurants. We certainly weren’t disappointed with the food and the warm welcome that we received put us at our ease. Had we not been staying in the west of the island, we would definitely have returned for a second visit. We wish you every success.

To start with front of house very welcoming and friendly. Lovely ambiance and comfortable surroundings. I never looked at the menu and went on the recommended choice of plaice in panko breadcrumbs followed by the curry. Wife had the lobster croquets and also the curry. When talking curry forget anything resembling an Indian as this was not like any curry I’ve ever had! Beautiful. Washed down with a recommended glass of red. Oh and not to forget the starters and I don’t usually like plaice! What an enthusiastic goody our hostess was and hope she enjoys our slant on Unami! Foodies will understand. Hope to see you again soon

Went for lunch and enjoyed an unusual set menu.
The atmosphere was relaxed, the surroundings pleasant and the staff attentive.
This is fine dining at a reasonable price.

We 4 had lunch here on 11th October and although part of October fest the food didn't let us down. Service was superb and food inventive and colour full . The starters and mains had good unusual choices and the desserts were excellent.

Do check if Lobster is on, we missed out, however, the service and food is wonderful. Very little parking so might be worth a taxi ride.
