Having heard good reviews I thought I would try out the Bass and Lobster on the Gorey Coast Road with a couple of girlfriends. It has become popular with locals who are now wise to the great value evening menu of £15 for two courses, or £18 for three courses. It was hard to choose from the imaginative choices on the menu, many seafood choices, which didn't disappoint. Well presented and very tasty, good friendly service and an informal atmosphere. I look forward to returning to sample the other choices on the menu. A new favourite for me.

It is perhaps a pity that the restaurant has no sea views given its proximity to the coast, but it really could not matter less because the quality of the food at the Bass & Lobster is consistently excellent. It feels as if each dish, whether fish, meat or vegetable, is prepared by someone who really cares about it, both in terms of taste and presentation. Yet both the lunchtime set menu and the evening menu are very sensibly priced, and the result at lunchtime (at £12.50 for a choice of starter & main course) is fantastic value for money given the high standard of cuisine. I really do not know anywhere that gives you such a gastronomic bang for the buck! The service is attentive and friendly, and the location on the edge of Gorey Village means that parking is not a problem. There is also a good bus service. Top recommendation!

Excellent food, with no fussing about, which is why you would go there.
Thers is plenty of parking nearby which is getting to be more and more of a problem in Jersey

I have never commented on any restaurant before until now and this place inspired me to do so. First trip to Jersey and I would return to have lunch at The Bass and Lobster again. Each course was a joy to look at it never mind to eat, the service was impeccable and the place overall has a lovely non pretentious atmosphere. Could not recommend it highly enough.

Had a lovely brithday meal - group of 7. Service and food all excellent. We had the sharing platter for starter which was very enjoyable and plenty for 2. The only challenge was getting the steak cooked correctly and took a couple of attempts. The assiette of deserts was a winner

I am a regular visitor to this Restaurant as it offers a set menu which provides great food at reasonable prices. I have never had a bad experience here and have found that the staff are always accomodating with any requests I have. Would definitely recommend it.

Visited with family.
Chose for 9 year old child off the childrens menu. He ordered a beefburger. It came with 2 chunky chips and was half a beefburger in a roll that had been cut in half. Why only give him half? Did the staff eat the other half or was that to be saved for another customer? We gave him some chips off our plates. It reminded me of when my aunt told me that she was served her ration of half an egg in the war - it was presented as a fried egg cut in half!
The adult portions whilst nicely presented were not very big.We decided against sweets and were tempted to go to the chip shop on the way home!
We eventually decided to go to the shop and buy a sweet to eat when we got home.

Had dinner on 12 September Could not fault anything. Had the set menu it was excellent.Better than upstairs at the boathouse and less than half the price.

Had an evening meal on the 6th September. Food and service were very good. My wife and I went early and there was plenty of room. Booking is advisable though. Not far from Gorey so you can walk the food off afterwards. Well worth a visit.

Had dinner at the Bass and Lobster on Monday 3rd September. Could not fault anything about the place, Food was excellent and would have been at home in any 5 star restaurant. Offers both a la Carte and set menus with something for everyone. We ordered off the £18.00 set menu for three courses, started with the crab cakes, then Lobster Thermidor and finished with the Cheese board, outstanding meal for the price. Will without doubt eat here again.

This was a fantastic meal out with the family. We came in the evening and each chose two courses from the set menu and everything was delicious. Wonderful service and value at £15 for two courses. Booking highly recommended! Definitely pay a visit if you're in jersey.

As a regular diner I can't rate this place highly enough. The food is of the highest quality - I believe the head chef is also the owner and this is always a good thing - and the service is consistently warm and friendly. I travel a lot and often dine in top restaurants, particularly in London, but I can honestly say that the Bass & Lobster is as good as any of them - keep up the good work !

I go to this restaurant every now and then and this time we went for a dinner from work. As one of us was gluten and fish free, they made a special menu for her (we let them know about the allergy when we booked). Quite a few of us also mixed the set menu and a la carte (starters from set and mains from a la carte). No problem at all. One person didn't mention he has nut allergy and ordered dish with salsa verde. He thought it was pesto and even though there are no nuts in salsa verde, they quickly made a new risotto with sauce vierge on the side instead.
Prices are very reasonable. Set menu is at great price. Even though the portions might be smaller, but with three courses it's just enough not to overeat yourself. One could say the A la carte is a little more pricey, but you get a lot of food of the best quality for your money.
They even have their own ice cream machine, so they are mixing up all different kinds of sorbets and ice cream, like banana and passion fruit!
The staff were very helpful, polite, attentive and friendly.
All in all, it was really a perfect night out and this place is definitely my No.1 on the island!

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this popular restaurant across the road from Gorey beach. The place was packed and we were glad we had booked. The set menu wa v good value. I think it was £17 for 3 courses, but I may be wrong. After a delicious starter chicken liver and fois GRAS parfait I had lobster thermidor. This was a first for me and I was pretty impressed? The portions were quite small, but that meant I had room for pudding- cheesecake and ice cream, again delicious. The staff were excellent and we had a good bottle of wine with our meal. Excellent food at great value.

Short stroll out of Gorey Pier the Bass and Lobster provided a very satisfying set menu for lunch, which, when you compare the price, the quality and quantity of the food provided it was extremely good value. We had a 1/2 dozen oysters to start (bit surprised they were served on sea salt as opposed to ice - but that didn't detract from the taste, which was very fresh) and then followed the two course set menu. The starters and main courses were well prepared, original and more than adequate for lunch time.
We thought the overall bill was reasonable and you couldn't fault the service or the ambiance - we would return given the opportunity

I visited the Bass and Lobster with my family, we decided to eat off the set menu unfortunately when we left the restaurant we wanted to go elsewhere to eat as the portions were very small, my son had a burger which was half a burger in a bun and 4 chunky chips which is not enough for a nine year old, I went for the half a lobster which was served with some minted peas. The food was very well presented but was not filling, we ordered dessert unfortunately it would appear they could not count or remember what we had ordered as two of us had to wait for our desserts to come out in which time everyone else had finished.

Food was top quality and was cooked by someone who knew what they were doing. Service was excellent, very friendly and efficient. We sat outside which overlooked the car park so not the best but we were there for the food!

The Bass and Lobster is a restaurant that has developed well since it first opened. Initially, service was not great but I would now rate service very highly. The staff are professional but still very friendly. For example, we have visited three times over 2012 and the waiter has remembered our wine choices from previous visits.
The decor is quite upmarket and you have the sense you are dining in a classy place. There is a nice buzz about the place without feeling you are being overheard by the next table.
The menu is quite varied and the food and its preparation is high quality. The tasting plate is a favourite and I admire the fact that this is changed regularly. Food always seems to be cooked perfectly and arrives in decent sized portions and hot. We have asked for wine recommendations with our food and the waiter has explained options knowledgeably and patiently while answering our questions well.
Despite the upmarket feel we have always felt that our children are welcome. The kiddie's pasta dish is delicious and tastes fresh while being full of flavour.
The desert menu is delicious and decadent. I can never quite choose what I want!
The Bass and Lobster is fast becoming a favourite of mine. I would highly recommend it.
