We arrived just as they had opened and managed to bag the last table. They even accommodated our two dogs and rejigged the table plan so we could dine in the area where dogs are allowed.
The menu was very extensive and I did struggle to make a decision as everything sounded so good.
I had the Jersey oysters to start, followed by the bass and lobster for mains. I knew I had got to find room for dessert as I had heard about their homemade ice cream. I had the dessert special which was banana cake with their beautiful ice cream.
Everything was cooked to perfection and was well presented. The service was impeccable. I couldn't fault a thing. I would definitely return.
There is a very small car park here but there is plenty of free parking just a couple of minutes walk away.

We had our evening meal there last night and wow it was so good. I was with my daughter and mum and we all thought our food was delicious. Crab ravioli and southern fried oysters were so delicious and totally recommend the salmon and the catch of the day finished off with a delicious banana bread dessert . Cooked to perfection and so tasty. Kirsty and the girls front of house are so friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere makes for a fabulous dining experience. Thanks Bass & Lobster for our amazing meal. 🥂🥂

My wife and I visited the 'Bass and Lobster' last night after a long absence and we were very impressed with the food and service. The staff were very friendly and efficient with lots of smiles. We drank 'Muscadet' and 'Cotes de Provence' rose by the glass and it was well priced. A glass of wine at the bar first set the scene and we perused the menu which was extensive and appetising. We wanted to try various tastes so I opted for 3 starters and my wife two. We both started with the pork cheeks that were quite delicious and melted as you ate them. I followed this with a Courgette flower stuffed with a crab mousse which was delicate and most enjoyable. I finished with the spicy prawn Caesar salad which again was really good whilst my wife opted for the Tempura prawns with a side of chips. She really enjoyed the prawns and the chips were hot and tasty with a dusting of parmesan. A couple of home made chocolates with the bill was a nice touch and they too were very good indeed. The overall bill was reasonable and when we added 10% service it came out as just over £65 each which I thought good value. We will not leave it so long before our next visit and we both agreed it was a really good experience!

What a wonderful lunch! We ordered an assortment of starters and each was superb. The hostess was lovely and made us feel very welcome with our 5 month old in tow. All in all, a very memorable meal that will remain a highlight of our trip to Jersey.Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

Lunch for two today outside on the terrace - the food and the service was absolutley outstanding. The ‘crab moussy thing’ has taken on a legend of its own and the John Dory with crab ravioli was superb as was the mushroom, Stilton and walnut butter ravioli. The little touches such as homemade bread, plus dips and the chocolates to finish add the most lovely touch.
We cannot recommend this restaurant and their staff and chef more!

Such a great evening - only in Jersey for one night and definitely made the right choose booking!
As we walked in, the ambience set the tone for the evening. A busy restaurant full of chatter and what looked like delicious food.
We were shown to our table by the most fabulous host, whom we later discovered was the manager married to the chef, what a great team.
We opted for oysters and were recommended to try the chorizo fried as well as natural. Wow - what a combination of tastes. All works deliciously well.
Main course we chose the catch of the day. Delicious too. Well cooked and presented too. My partner chose fish n chips. So fresh and the best chips she has tasted!
Overall a lovely evening. Good food. Good hospitality.
A bonus was the little extras, curries bread, olives and humous. And the exquisite chocolates after dinner.
Well done on a great little eatery. Great food, ambiance and a lovely team of at tentative friendly staff.
Thank you to everyone.

We had the most amazing lunch today, without doubt our favourite restaurant in Jersey. The flavours of the food were amazing and the service was impeccable!! We can’t wait to return, thank you all so much xx

The food was exquisite and the service was welcoming, friendly and attentive. There was nothing pretentious about this place. You would be welcomed if you turned up in shorts or in your Sunday best. Price wise, it’s high end, but quality comes at a price and is worth every penny.
It gets booked up, so book in advanced, especially if your a tourist.

While on holiday to Jersey we came across a hidden gem of a restaurant. We had a set lunch menu which was 5 courses and what a tasty treat it was.
Better than a lot of high priced London restaurants.
Nicely presented and brought to our table by friendly staff.
Reasonably priced with ample portions.
Clean, light and airy place.
Would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Prior to dining here, the only mullet I’d had was sported atop my head (and not a pretty sight it was). Now, I’m educated on how this humble fish can make a splendid dinner.

Absolutely love The Bass & Lobster. Food is just so different and delicious. One Fish eater. One Vegetarian.
Unbelievable choice of homemade ice creams. Love the gesture of the complimentary bread and nibbles and the homemade chocolates at the end of the evening.
Staff - particularly Front of House just make you feel ‘special’. A lovely ambiance. Definitely our favourite restaurant right now.

I'll be honest, we used to go here quite a lot 3 or 4 years ago and it was always very good. Very fresh, quite innovative food.
Went here the other day again for a change and were left quite disappointed really, especially for the money we paid. The food is nicely presented and looks and tastes pretty good, but with that tastes quite processed in the sense of over analysed and cooked. And my partner's main was significantly oversalted and she likes quite salty food. They were very good and took it off the bill which was appreciated but just surprised that it was sent out in that condition.

Something of a hidden gem in Gorey and you might well miss it if you didn't know it was there. Looks more like a pub from the outside but in fact an excellent restaurant.
Simple and airy decor inside plus a warm (sometimes overly) welcome creates a relaxed feel. The menu is always changing and there are specials as well as a good standard menu and naturally you can be sure that local food, particularly fish, will feature heavily.Everything is beautifully presented and portion sizes seem just about right so you can happily enjoy 3 courses and savour the flavours without wading through too many extra side dishes. I had scallops, salmon, and then bread & butter pudding - and it was hard to fault anything. Most of the other dishes I saw also looked very appetising, although perhaps a tendency to have a spicey feel to the menu which might be off-putting to some.
The feature of the menu is very much the unusual homemade ice cream flavours to select from with options such as stilton, curry and bubblegum flavours at £3 per (very small) scoop. To be honest, this is a bit of a distraction as the main desserts were perfectly fine.Service was prompt and attentive, although perhaps a little too over-friendly for some but the food is what matters and cannot be faulted. Excellent value and is difficult to beat anywhere else in Jersey - well worth a visit.

Absolutely delicious food, the majority (or all?) of which is locally sourced and attributes the farmer/fishermen etc on the menu who grew/sourced the produce.
The flavours and accompaniments are interesting and often unusual, including a number of interesting savoury ice creams.
A special mention for the king prawn tempura, which was just lovely and light, and the catch of the day with the most delicious potato cake. The other dishes chosen were from the daily specials and were all really good.
We couldn't manage a dessert but we did take note of the lengthy selection of ice creams, some of which were even sweet!
We also really liked the Sippin Unusual Citrus G&T - very refreshing! (SIppin being a local gin, and they also had a local rum called Indica, which we didn't try but was in another cocktail.)
Service was very pleasant - prompt and attentive.
