The Seahorse Reviews
SPLENDID SEAHORSE ! - Patrick and Serena
Feb 17 2012Without doubt our most enjoyable restaurant experience ever ! A gastronomic delight from 'starter' to finish. Mel & Sarah Jane were friendly & attentive, guiding us through the menu with expertise & a culinary passion.'Cracking' calamari & crab to start, followed by a shared mouth watering monkfish, chargrilled to perfection, it was the the finest of fish dishes! We were able to select from an extensive & varied wine list, priced to suit all. The Seahorse hospitality & delicious food ensured a most outstanding & memorable evening , thank you.
Extraordinarily good!!! - Duncan Almond
Jan 16 2012It'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 palette 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!

WOW, what a culinary experience! - Teresa Hoare
Oct 17 2011What an absolutely fantastic meal. We have never experienced so many gorgeous flavours executed in such a subtle way. We have eaten in many restaurants but this has to be the best. Mitch and his staff made the whole dining experience much more pleasurable too, top marks!
Lets just hope I can emulate it this weekend when I try some of his recipes from the book I purchased!!
