We dined here on a Wednesday night. Lively and friendly atmosphere. The food here is exceptional. Whether it’s the Stilton ice-cream or mushroom & date ketchup or cooking a piece of fish to perfection, this is the best-value, best-everything restaurant in Jersey, without exception.
From the kitchen to front-of-house, this is an honest, down-to-Earth, yet exceptional (that word again) restaurant that provides a complete dining experience.
If you visit Jersey without going here, it’s a wasted holiday.

I have just had the most wonderful evening at the Bass and Lobster! I ordered the salmon and every element of the dish was incredible and so complementary. I don’t think I have ever enjoyed a meal so much! To add to the delicious food, the atmosphere was lovely; inviting and friendly yet also felt luxurious and special. The staff were brilliant. I have to say this is an absolute gem of a restaurant. Massive thanks to the staff and amazing chef!

We had the set lunch menu and it is amazing value for money. Each dish was beautifully presented and delicious.
I would highly recommend coming here for the food!

I feel the atmosphere and interior was not at the same exceptional standard. It could possibly do with modernising but this is just personal taste.

I'm amazed to read the review by Lucy A. We had dinner here, the food was excellent - stuffed courgette flower and tempura prawns to start. Lamb burger and fish and chips for mains. Both were excellent. Service also very good. Would definitely recommend!

This is a must go to when you are in Jersey! My wife and I had dinner here and it was fantastic, all the food is locally sourced and even the the school's competition catch of the day was on the menu. 😋 What made our evening even more enjoyable was the friendlyness of the staff, the landlady is so entertaining and prides herself on the locally sourced foods, she is also a bundle of joy to have around you, when we come back to Jersey we will definitely be reserving a table here... More than once. 👍

So good we went there twice and certainly the best dining experience of our holiday ! A 60 plus cover place with a bar and stools for early arrivals in the centre of the L shaped room which is next to a window into the busy kitchen. We were welcomed by Kirstie, the cheerful and friendly proprietor (husband, head chef) who runs a busy excellent front of house team who echo her approach to customers A lively atmosphere with many locals. The a la carte menu together with a supplementary list of daily specials are locally sourced and cater for every taste. After some artisan bread we went straight to Mains on our first visit. I chose the catch of the day of two good sized plaice fillets stuffed with Jersey Royals, steamed greens and an excellent fish veloute. It was cooked perfectly as I find this fish is usually over done into a fishy pulp. My wife enjoyed a grilled pork chop with crackling, sweet potato mash and steamed greens. If you are into desserts, this menu is for you. I chose a rhubarb sorbet and my Wife had a good pannacotta. At £66 including a couple of drinks, great value for money.

Absolutely fabulous food. Each plate was creative and full of taste with local ingredients. Staff were very welcoming, and the service and surroundings were unpretentious. So good we returned for lunch a few days later and will certainly revisit it whenever we are in Jersey.

A very nice dinner. We had oysters and a bass and lobster special. The fish was cooked perfectly with interesting accompaniments and a nice sauce. The pudding with banana bread was also very good. Friendly efficient service. A very nice night out.

Visited for lunch and opted for the set lunch menu. Lots of choice. Each dish we had was beautifully presented, full of flavour and expertly cooked. Service was excellent and the staff/owner very knowledgeable and helpful. Could not fault any aspect of the meal and can heartily recommend. On top of everything else, great value for money! Go!
