I have always had excellent food and service each time I have visited the brasserie over the years. I recently attended my friends wedding at St Ellis Bay and was blown away by the exceptional way it was run from start to finish. The food was amazing, the venue was beautiful and the staff were wonderful and couldn't do enough for everyone, it was just a perfect evening!

Me & my family really enjoyed the Robbie Williams tribute night. All 3 courses were outstanding, the beef rib was so tender & full of flavour. Roberto & all the other waiters/waitress’s gave a 5star experience. We loved the mojito’s!. Can’t wait for our next get together here.

Do not eat here. I ate here six years ago and has been subjected to a relentless barrage of spam ever since, that they have refused to stop.

Incredible service from this sea side bistro. Quite pricey (£3.30 for a tea when we went) but such wonderfully polite and clearly well trained staff

As always, excellent service from friendly, efficient staff and consistently high standard of food. Beautiful winter sunset views from the Brasserie 1st floor was an added bonus. We will be back again soon.

Located in St Ellie’s Bay, this modern building features a café on the underground floor and a brasserie on the top floor, offering lovely views of the bay. The café operates with an order-at-the-counter and pay-on-order system. The coffee, specifically the flat white, was average in quality. Unfortunately, the shakshuka was disappointing. It seemed more like baked beans mixed with tomato puree, onions, and red peppers, rather than an authentic preparation. The two small poached eggs were overcooked and misshapen, and the accompanying sourdough toast was fairly standard, lacking any standout flavor. The eggs Benedict was similarly average, with the choice of meat resembling Serrano ham rather than the traditional bacon typically expected in this dish. The service was acceptable, and overall, the experience was pleasant, thanks to the beautiful view of St Ellie’s Bay.

Four of us dined at St Elli’s Bay brasserie last night. We received a very warm welcome and the excellent and attentive service continued throughout the evening. We all really enjoyed enjoyed our meals and had a great time.

Thought we'd give it a try, as the location and reviews were good... promising start, with friendly greeting from staff and the cakes in the display looked tasty. Ordered crispy squid, chicken burger and a couple of drinks. Drinks brought over quickly, again, friendly service. The food arrived soon after, and unfortunately was just not great. The squid was chewy, and the chicken in the chicken burger was so thin, it was kind of lost in the flavour of the bun and sauce. The chips were lukewarm at best. We were going to have a cake and coffee afterwards, but as no-one came to check if everything was OK with the food we'd had, we just didn't want to stay. Just to cap it off the staff didn't even acknowledge or say goodbye as we left... and there were only two other tables with customers (we were downstairs), so there was no excuse of being busy. I'm afraid we won't be going back :-(

Lovely place with really good food! I had the pulled pork croquetas as a starter, which I strongly recommend. As a main, I had cod & chips. The mush pees had the right amount of mint, which is not something you get everywhere. Well done! The staff were very friendly.

I'd highly recommend St.Ellis Bay, if you're in the area. Everything on the menu sounded delicious, so I had a hard time choosing, but eventually went for the honey glazed duck breast, (which was on the specials menu). It was an all-around beautiful meal, with some really unusual flavours! Will definitely be eating there again.

Lovely cafe spoiled by dogs snapping and barking. I'm a dog lover myself, but the cafe was too small to allow so many dogs in. Also one dog owner let his dog lick the crumbs off his plate, disgusting.

Been twice, the food is very nice and it’s a lovely place with a great view of the beach. Unfortunately the service lets the experience down, they are very slow and waiters stand around chatting when customers are waiting. Having said that we will definitely be back as overall it’s a nice restaurant.

The food was delicious and was selected from the fixed price lunch menu. We had a bottle of house red which was suggested by our waitress and it was excellent. We had a table with a sea view and the beach. I wish we lived closer to dine there more often.
