It’s been a couple weeks or so since we ate here and even still the place excites me when we walk past. Wow! There’s no other words for it. The vibes are relaxed, layed back and more casual than most fine dining spots, decor is fresh and modern, but with character, and the service smiley, chatty and always happy to explain whatever your interests lead you to ask, but what really shines is the food. Absolutely outstanding cookery, with the awards this place has racked up all making sense. The best opening half to a meal i have ever eaten, and I don’t think that’ll be beaten any time soon. The snacks were some of the best I’d ever had, all clearly painstakingly balanced to perfection for our enjoyment, the oysters being especially a stand out. The best dish of the night was the XO Hake, holy moly. Joint best dish I’ve ever eaten. Non of this is being said with decency bias either, it really was just that good! One desert made us feel a little sweet deprived at the end (sounds awful doesn’t it😅) but the one we got was so elegant how could I complain. Worth. Every. Single. Penny. Speaking to the staff too, each tasting menu only makes £6 in profit - and that’s when the place is fully booked - highlighting just how fine the margins are for restaurants. The price is high, but it should and could be a lot a lot higher, so tip well, and get a reservation while you still can :)

I celebrated my birthday here tonight and was treated to a 9 course tasting menu. It was an epic meal, beginning to end. Bursts of subtle flavors, fun textures, lovely presentation. Don’t miss this restaurant when you’re in St Ives — and if you can swing it, the tasting menu is absolutely worth it. My only recommendation to the restaurant… put the chef’s name on the menu, website, social media and more. Time to step out from behind the curtain to celebrate your talent. Well done!

Yup, it is that good. A beautiful and flavourful journey of the senses. If opting for the wine pairing, suggest one between two as it includes 6 generously measured pairings.

Amazing. If I am ever back in St Ives I will certainly visit again, it was one of the best tasting menus I have ever had. The Chef and front of house were very welcoming and provided great service throughout the course. There was a strong Asian influence in the dishes we were served which was right up our alley. Every single dish tasted authentic and were packed with flavour.

We love this place, and returned for the third time last night. The food was as delicious as ever with an old favourite on the menu but a whole load of amazing new dishes. The restaurant has a lovely vibe, relaxed but with fantastic friendly service. Having eaten in lots of places in St Ives, I think this is hands down the best spot for a special seafood meal! I can be fussy with food but their tasting menu always hits the nail on the head - adventurous but really moreish food. Thanks to the one fish street team for another lovely evening!

One fish street is a a dining experience, it offers an amazing tasting menu, it’s not cheap but then it’s worth it. All local ingredients and cooked by the chef who we met. It’s definitely an adult’s restaurant. The atmosphere is cool and sophisticated and you’ll need to book if you want a table. Every course was delicious but they do get steadily bigger in portion size so make sure you’re hungry before you go but it’s still very manageable. You can also have the wines paired with each course as an extra treat but we didn’t opt for that. We had a refreshing martini cocktail instead. Definite worth a visit for the experience… it’s a bit of a fine dining treat. 🥰

We tried this place for the first time last night. What an experience! We were greeted so nicely and explained the menu. The restaurant is lovely and welcoming. As a fairly new fish eater I knew I was taking a risk! What an amazing place to be converted. We kicked off with a mescal margarita which was so good I could have drank it all night! There was the option for a drink flight with the menu which we’ll try next time! The cucumber based cocktail was the perfect pallet cleanser! We tried some wine which was really smooth. Neither of us had tried scallops before, and because they were so fresh and had been so carefully seasoned they were beautiful! Each course was just amazing, with so many different and perfect flavours. The structure of the menu meant that the order of the dishes coming out was perfect, with just the right time between courses. There was an optional extra course which I was jealous of when I saw it come out! We tried to pick a favourite but found it so hard! The arancini was to die for. The Thai course made me question my own cooking because it was the best I’d ever had! (What is the secret!?) All the fish was so fresh. The dessert was chocolate heaven which I never wanted to end, and they topped off the evening with freshly baked gooey cookies as a little treat. Bradley and Charlotte made us feel so welcome. We came away feeling like we’d had an experience rather than just going for dinner. It was a really lovely and memorable treat which we can’t wait to experience again. Thanks so much One Fish Street!

We were a tad nervous about a tasting menu but the restaurant reviews made us take a chance. We are so glad we did, each course was thoughtfully prepared, well presented & with such complimentary flavours. Definitely with items I would never have ordered otherwise. Lovely small independent restaurant that has earned it's good reputation.

Some top top notch fine dining - maybe the highlight of our holiday in St Ives. Really cool atmosphere and setting with friendly and informative staff.. chose to do the wine pairing and it didn’t disappoint. If you can get booked in here deffo give it a go - we got a last minute cancellation!

This little restaurant is located perfectly along the beachside in St Ives. It serves the most fantastic range of seafood dishes that you can't get anywhere nearby. I love the tapas style of ordering a range of dishes to get a full taste of the menu. The prices are more than reasonable for the quality of food and service provided. The atmosphere within the restaurant is relaxed and friendly and the service provided by the staff was second to none. I will be coming back regularly!

Incredible food, probably the best meal I've had in years. Excellent service and easy relaxed dining. Impossible to fault really, just make sure you book (very) ahead so you don't miss out
