"Lovely little restaurant, with tonnes of outdoor and indoor seating outside was PACKED when we arrived so we sadly sat inside away from the sun. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU BOOK AHEAD, PREFERABLY WITH YOUR CHOICE OF MEAL. They literally go catch what they need that evening, and it is always busy because the kitchen is only open Tuesday and Friday evenings (i think), though the bar seems to be open every night. The decor is no frills, feels almost like a US country diner. I had the lobster scampi which was delicious, others in our party had the fish (which I think was pollock). Both came in a lovely light batter, with excellent chips (better than your standard chip shop fare) and peas which I think were very lightly minted. There was barely a scrap left on any of our plates, and we went home feeling very full indeed! I was drinking Somersby cider, others had Korev lager (brewed in Cornwall), both were decent and on draft. They had plenty of other choices behind the bar too. St Martin's has come a long way since I first visited in 2007, with lots more choice of where to eat, all of it good quality though a little pricier than the mainland for obvious reasons. The people I came with (wife and in laws) visited the island a LOT in the 80s and 90s, when tourists were fewer. They somewhat miss the island as it was then, but recognise how much better it is now, for tourists and locals alike. Adam's fish chips is a key part of that, and a must visit if you can.
