First time visiting Pier House, it was highly recommended and did not disappoint. Service was good and timely, food was outstanding and it offers spectacular views. Our highlights were the chilli prawns, whole seabass and lobster bisque.

The people here are so lovely! Always smiling faces and so attentive. On top of that the food is fresh, delicious, and at the perfect price point. The view is lovely and it’s a really nice atmosphere to have a meal. Plus, bathrooms are very clean and well kept!

Absolutely loved my experience at Pier House! The eggs Benedict were simply divine - perfectly cooked by Chef Jay, with a rich and flavorful hollandaise sauce. The service was impeccable; staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. Definitely recommend this place for a delicious and memorable meal.'

I went with a friend to The Pier House to celebrate my birthday. We had a fantastic time, the staff Dixon and Sam in particular were so helpful. The lunch menu was excellent, fish soup, mussels and hake were our choices and at a very reasonable price. They even surprised me with a complimentary slice of cheesecake with a candle! I will certainly go back as it's a lovely venue, looking over the Harbour, with excellent food and excellent service. Thank you.

Great fresh seafood and attentive service. Scallops and mussels are highly recommended. One guest in our party was in a wheelchair, the staff went above and beyond to make him comfortable, suggesting a table with more space around, holding doors, etc. will be back again

Friendly Amazing service , nice decor And an absolutely fabulous meal had bay all we had the spiced lamb chops out of this world , fish curry the best I have had. Sirloin cooked perfectly.

Had a lovely dinner with great service in a nice atmosphere, so good in fact we went for breakfast the next day.

A wonderful place! We had fish & chips, and it was very good. The staff was very friendly and kept checking if we needed anything. We were there on a very stormy afternoon, which made the place feel very cozy. The view of the stormy sea and the romantic harbor with its lighthouse was simply breathtaking.
