Super attentive staff who were more than helpful in finding us a quiet corner for our dog (they also gave us water with ice cubes for him on a blisteringly hot day).
The turnip cake starter was sublime and the mains were lovely especially the half lobster. Highly recommend the chocolate pandan to f
Excellent!
The menu reflects the quality of the restaurant as close to as a michelin star as you can get.
The food is fresh and very well cooked, the service is friendly and attentive. The wine selection is very well chosen for the food on the menu, the deserts are wonderful.

What a wonderful place for dinner! Easily missed, but this gem of a restaurant is a must visit when you come to the Isle of Wight, easily one of the best meals I’ve had here. The lobster and duck were both cooked to perfection, and the staff were ever so friendly. Nothing to criticise at all!
Ventnor is a casual little seaside town with the usual seaside fish and chips, etc. Imagine my delight when I went there for lunch at the recommendation of a neighbor and found a foodie paradise!
We started with 2 of their special cocktails of the day, a passion fruit mojito and a mandarin maraschin
Excellent and good quality seafood with friendly staff in a small, cosy setting facing the sea. All dishes were good but the desserts were particularly special. Expensive but worth it if you fancy treating yourself.
Visited Smoking Lobster with my family (wife and two daughters) whilst on the IOW. It was our daughters 4th birthday. The staff could not have been more welcoming. The food was outstanding. Very nice cocktails. The seafood platter was amazing. You pay for the food quality and we felt it deserved the
Absolutely brilliant time at the Smoking Lobster. Food was fantastic (have to try the lobster brioche) and the staff couldn't have done enough for us. Excellent setup for the kids too. Very rare you see kids' meals with as much thought gone into them as the grown ups' but was spot on here. Our group
Went to the restaurant yesterday evening. Customer service was excellent, swift and welcoming. Food was amazing and felt like it was worth it. Definitely recommend the seafood platter for 2 and having the sea bass deboned, and the lobster tempura. Try the japanese tiramisu dessert and japanese cof
Beautiful fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly and served by delightful staff in a clean simple tasteful restaurant. Add a glass of chilled wine. Super. Thank you
Having been to the Smoking Lobster in Cowes on three occasions with three different experiences from superb to mediocre, we decided to go to the original one in Ventnor. It was a very pleasant experience. It is a bit stark and bland inside and not quite a five star rating in our opinion but still a
Beautiful location, beautiful interior decoration and wonderful food. Completely enjoyed my time here.
Pro tip: try the limoncello sake (if they have it) or the sweet plum sake 😋.
Love this little restaurant by the beach, I don’t normally like Asian fusion, but smoking lobster does it so well, really good cooking with a lot of love and fresh ingredients.
This is one of our favourite spots on the IOW. The food never fails to deliver in quality, taste and presentation. Be sure to book, it’s a popular spot so reservations are essential.
Amazing fusion flavours right by the sea! Making sure our guest from France experienced the best in Ventnor we could only book Smoking Lobster for lunch (they were full for dinner throughout our visit). Although lunch we had an amazing meal, wonderful fusion flavours and absolutely fresh seafood. Gr
Booking recommended. Low season seems to be less in demand , but still. Great atmosphere and happy staff seen throughout . Fusion food with a Japanese touch, featuring the use of yuzu sauce. Lots come here to try the half lobster and chips , nice presentation.
Amazing 🤩
Food was hot, fresh and tasted amazing.
Staff were very friendly and helpful, talking us through the menu choices was not a problem for them as they explained the dishes in detail with a smile.
If i lived nearby, I could see myself taking my family here alot 😋
Dinner
Lovely seafood restaurant
We booked this restaurant in advance as there are not many restaurants open on a Tuesday evening.
Good job we did as they were full to capacity.
They seated us in a very nice window table, looking out to the sea.
On the menu, it's small plates and large plates.
