From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and a genuine enthusiasm that set the tone for the entire meal. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she took the time to explain recommendations based on our preferences.
Throughout the meal, she was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that our glasses were always filled, and our needs were met promptly. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident, and it made us feel truly valued as customers.
As for the food, it was a culinary delight. Each dish was prepared with care, and the flavors were a symphony for the taste buds. Whether you're a fan of classic dishes or looking to try something more adventurous, Old Quay has a diverse menu that will satisfy every palate.
The ambiance of the restaurant is also worth mentioning. It's a perfect blend of cozy and upscale, making it an ideal spot for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings.

We were greeted at checkin by the front of house manager who graciously welcomed us and dealt with some minor confusion over our late booking with consummate ease. We were shown to a comfortable seating area and offered drinks whilst our table was readied. A couple of glasses of Prosecco followed nearly instantly accompanied by the menus and a polite question about any allergies—I’m dairy intolerant which was noted.
A short while later we were shown to our table in the middle of the restaurant overlooking the estuary where our wine awaited.
An amuse bouche and bread (served with butter and oil for the non dairy) followed shortly which started the culinary delights. My partner was served a sweet potato foam and for me a smoked salmon and caper dish (non dairy). Both were absolutely delicious.
Smoked mackerel starters followed for us both (one with a dairy foam and one without). These were absolutely delightful.
Mains came with perfect timing and looking amazing; roast cod for me and chicken breast for my partner. Both were delicious.
We rounded things off with an Irish coffee and a panna cotta which as expected we’re amazing.
All in all an absolutely top drawer dining experience paired with truly impeccable service.

This, however, shouldn't detract from both the service and food, which...
