Stumbled upon this place whilst looking for a lunchtime spot. We were so glad we did, the food was so tasty! We had the tacos (order 3 because they are too good!) and fries, which were delicious. The decor was beautiful, the staff were lovely (Elliot and Kiera were our servers and were great!). The view looking out over the bay in the sunshine was perfect. We loved our visit!!

Looking for somewhere to have lunch while visiting St Ives and noticed this restaurant. The menu looked intriguing so thought we'd give it a whirl. My wife and daughter both had the tacos, while I had the spicy beef burger with Cornish salty bacon (I'm all about being healthy šŸ˜). My daughter and I shared a loaded fries also. We agreed the food was excellent. Really tasty and filling. Service was really quick, with no hassles. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable meal and we'd definitely come back again. Oh we can whole heartedly recommend the berry Sunday šŸ™‚

One of the best cafe's in St Ives. It is sea facing and usually crowdy(especially on holidays and weekends). Its pet and kids friendly. Above all that, the food is delicious. All the items we tried came out really good but Squid loaded fries and Fish n Chips are both must try for seafood lovers. Will definitely visit again.

This bar brasserie has an amazing balcony overlooking st ives beach. Its a superb spot to stop and watch the world go by. We were lucky to visit on a beautiful sunny Monday, several tables with a view were free. Great service all the team we spoke to where polite, professional, friendly and alert to our needs. The food is surprisingly good, crispy olives were a treat and the toasted sandwiches looked and tasted great, and they had a good range of things Id eat on the menu. Judging by the other tables the Tacos and Burgers looked well worth trying..

Visited tonight for dinner with my son 5 and husband. It was one of the few places that didn't have over an hour wait. There is a large steep set of steps to get inside, but the views are stunning. We were told it would be around a 20-minute wait, but we were seated before we even ordered a drink at the bar! Result. Most seats are by the window with a few in the middle. Also, most of the seats are high stools, which isn't the best with children or anyone with a bad back lol. The kids' menu is tiny with only 3 things to choose from. Chicken, burger, or fish. The chicken is breaded, so my son enjoyed it. A fruit shot will set you back Ā£2.50! Omg, and a large coke Ā£5! Menu is very small indeed but means they can get the food out quickly They had us in and out within an hour with a 10% service charge added to the bill. The food was nice enough but it was very rushed, and loud inside. Everything seemed frantic, and the food was average. Dirty Fries are dead easy to make. I'm not sure we would return, tbh as there is so much better on offer close by. Getting some colouring sheets and crayons and a better kids menu.

I visited twice in 2 days! I went on my first solo holiday and I was so nervous about going out for food on my own . 1. The price and 2. If people would judge me. Wow . The food was unreal the seafoodā€¦. No words! Itā€™s really rare to find somewhere that sells amazing seafood for such a good price. I had salt and pepper squid and garlic prawns these are huge plates btw! And a large coke and a Mango daiquiri and it only came to 27pounds. I was more than full and I felt so safe and content. The views are unreal too! And the bar staff and waitresses/waiters are all so lovely and welcoming. These are the places that makes your first holiday on your own so memorablešŸ„°thank you!

We popped into The Balcony after going out for a meal at another local restaurant, to say the atmosphere was INCREDIBLE would be an understatement!! The live singer there last night (23.08.23) was INSANE!! one of the best live musicians I've had the pleasure of hearing!! Staff all super friendly and service was great! Will definitely be returning!!

Had breakfast and dinner here! Stunning views (the best from any cafe/restaurant in St Ives I think!) and delicious food. Pleasantly surprised at the amount of gluten free options! Their pancake recipe is made gluten free for everyone and the chicken burger I had for dinner had a gluten free option. None of the crumbly dry gluten free food here! Best pancakes Iā€™ve ever had! Thereā€™s an open window into the kitchen where you can speak to the chefs and all the staff were very helpful so (although Iā€™m only intolerant and not coeliac) I would recommend phoning or chatting to the chefs because it might just be the safe place youā€™ve been looking for!

This place has a great view, great food and great drink selection. The only problem is the staff took forever to notice us and serve us. Shame really as this place would've been perfect otherwise!

We had a lovely breakfast at the balcony along with some fabulous coffee! Great poached eggs and tasty hollandaise sauce with super crispy hash brownsā€¦ we got a table over looking the harbour which was a massive plus! Service was friendly and very accommodating. Only downside is Ā£5 for a pint of Pepsi is wayyyy too much to be charging but thatā€™s the owners problem, not the staff who are great <3 finally this venue isnā€™t the best for disabled access

Great food. Absolutely stunning. Gluten free options for my family on majority of the menu and didn't make it any fuss. Great staff and very helpful. Will definitely be going back next time we are in St Ives.

One word -Exceptional. The best burger I've had in some time, paired with amazing chips. I had no expectations entering as it seemed normal, and the food came so soon after ordering. 10/10 would reccomend

Lovely tasting sausages on the full English, beautiful tasting coffee (oatmilk latte with caramel shot). Outstanding views, dog friendly, helpful staff. 10 out of 10... only drawback is that portions are on the smaller side so the full english breakfast could've done with a couple of slices of toast and maybe some mushrooms. Would highly recommend šŸ‘Œ
