About-me
FABULOUS SEAFOOD
The Seahorse is all about the best in local seafood cooked over a charcoal fire. The pleasure of a simply grilled fish or a local steak cooked on the bone, charred, deep red and juicy with just a few herbs and some vegetables or salad of the season is typical of the food you will find on the menu.
With the sea right outside the door the restaurant naturally specialises in local fish and shellfish and often fishermen will drop in their catch during service which it will find its way to the charcoal grill in minutes.

It's very difficult to write a review about such an exemplary restaurant without it sounding over-the-top, or way too effusive, but every once in a while you just have to run with it and wear your heart on your sleeve. I LOVE the Seahorse!
A couple of months ago it was my birthday (a big one). As a treat to myself I decided to have a quiet lunch on my own, prior to all the set-piece family orientated 'candle blowing' activities. Selfish, I know, but having long sought an excuse to try out the Seahorse I arrived on a grey autumn day, laden down with shop-bought birthday treats, walked through the door and the magic began. There is just something about this place. It started with the service - Sarah-Jane and Mel providing that incredibly illusive perfect mix of informal friendliness and flawless professionalism. And then the food, OH THE FOOD! Its apparent simplicity, exceptional flavours, and balanced palate all serve to underline just how skilled is the execution of the Seahorse kitchen brigade.
I was there for, what, a little over an hour? Quite simply one of the best 60 minutes I have ever spent in a restaurant, anywhere.
As a result, my Birthday was memorable not because of the big '0' now attached to my age for the next 12 months, but instead because of the utterly wonderful time I spent at the Seahorse! Close ›
