Had a lovely anniversary meal here. Staff were very friendly and attentive and the service was immaculate. Food was amazing and was a lovely ambiance in the restaurant, highly recommend!
First visit to Barnaby’s for our Anniversary… if you are visiting Padstow or in Cornwall I would highly recommend you visit. The atmosphere, service and food was exceptional…. Add to that a vineyard and you just cannot be disappointed. Big Thanks for making our Anniversary special.
YOU MUST EAT HERE!
Excellent service, lovely ambience, dog friendly. Near faultless food (I say near, I only had one dish that minorly underwhelmed me but really I’m being very particular here as a chef myself)
Barbecue leeks, deep fried oysters, courgette labneh and the hake were my favourites. Crispy potatoes to die for. Dessert wine (from upstairs) was a highlight. (I went to buy some later it was that good). We ordered the right amount of dishes at our servers suggestion.
I note the many comments about prices, portions and food not being to their tastes in some reviews. If you don’t have a curious palate or an interest in food I can understand why some of the dishes may not be to your tastes. As for price and portion, I disagree. The prices reflect and skill and experience required to create excellent food, and we left full and happy. Will happily return and recommend.
Me and my wife went for our anniversary and it was an amazing experience.
When we arrived the staff asked if we wanted to sit outside first and enjoy a few drinks so we could enjoy the sunshine. Then we moved inside and they were so attentive with any question or request we had.
Also the food was delicious we had a mix of dishes but our favourites were the scallops, carrots and oysters (especially the battered ones)
Top 3 dinners of my life. Flavours are exceptional. Local means fresh and these guys take it next level. The experience of dining is excellently balanced by the timing, temperature and portions of all dishes.
Must have the scallops & the cauliflower!!!!!
