30/4/22 wow amazing food. Cooked to perfection and excellent quality. Not just saying this but this is the best breakfast I’ve ever had.I’m fussy and disappointed normally as you can’t beat home cooking. Well this was top restaurant quality and far better than home. Beautiful view on the bay and St Michaels mount. Shall be returning this evening to check out the delicious looking menu

I had the pleasure of eatinga light lunch at The Bay on the 2nd of February 2022. I discovered this gem only because I entered Wharfside shopping centre to have a look around. Not many open shops but it may change once the season starts. This spacious restaurant has a lot going for it. Apart from the stunning view, the place was clean and tidy and with very friendly and efficient staff. It seemed to be very popular with the locals. Maybe because the food is well cooked and reasonably priced. 9:15 for a pot of tea and a huge Tuna jacket potato complete with 2 pats of butter. I would have loved a pudding but I was too full!

A brief visit at this restaurant makes it no surprise it holds many regulars. From its prime views while dining to its exquisite menu. Personally I ordered a serving of pancakes and cinnamon toasted teacakeThe service was friendly, polite and human. A trait lacking in some more expensive establishments by the year.The food feels like something pulled from home. Comfortable, filling and above all tasty.If you're looking for a fine place to drink it offers a modest selection of wines, gins, soft drinks and hot drinks.Whether looking for a nice outing, a spot for a seaside date or simply a pleasant dining experience I highly recommend this one as one of the best.

Great views of the bay. Friendly and efficient team. I ordered a crab soft roll and it was divine and a cream tea- yummy fresh warm scones. Extremely high quality food. I noticed downstairs on the street all the cafes were packed and this place had available seats. All you do is use the escalator up to the first floor from the street where it says shopping centre and once upstairs, turn back towards the sea and there it is.

Came here for breakfast with my friend, I ordered the vegetarian breakfast and he ordered the big bay breakfast, it wasn’t very busy in there, only 2 other tables. The waitress was lovely and the food was cooked to perfection, the wait was a little slow but when there’s one chef in the kitchen you absolutely have to expect that! Obviously the view was gorgeous, you can look right out at the sea, I would go back again as long as I’m not on a time crunch
