Spectacular. Came here for dinner and was not disappointed. Lovely range of cocktails, whiskies and extensive wine menu, and the seafood platter for two was stunning. Great range of very fresh and impeccably cooked seafood with some very nuanced flavours (and some bolder ones!). Would absolutely recommend. Good service, friendly staff, nice atmosphere - buzzy but not too loud - and for the quality, very well priced. Had a lovely evening.

These guys are amazing. We rented an Airbnb a hundred yards away. They accommodated us last minute, even though they were full. Service excellent. Food stunning. Ambience wonderful. The only choice for fish or seafood in town. Highly recommend.

A superb lunch enjoyed by my family. The Asian theme is a welcome twist and tingles the tastebuds with a superb selection of dishes. The chefs make tapas styled creations to be savoured and the ingredients are fresh and tasty. Service is attentive and courteous and the accompanying drinks well thought through and our highlight was the delicious Rosè that was chilled and went perfect with the seafood dishes. We loved the “Specials” as today Bao Buns were Lobster! The Asian slaw and Edamame delicious and there’s lots of Vegan choices too. A booking on the usual peak times essential. We would happily return

We went to dine this evening as this place has been recommended highly by our host, so my husband booked it for my birthday meal! It was very good experience overall! We left the place feeling comfortable in ourselves! We being welcomed very warmly and very patiently explained the menu. From the first bite till the end, there wasn’t a single moment we were not enjoying. The portion were generous, reasonably priced, good quality, beautiful taste, wonderful presentation….. i could go on.. I rarely left a place thinking I loved every single course! A must go place in the island we will definitely come back again! Very satisfied tastebuds! Thank you for the beautiful memories!

Quality, beautifully presented food that packs a punch of flavour. I am a planner and after finally finding some time to cycle around the Isle of Wight, I knew I would need somewhere good for lunch at the end. I looked at a lot restaurants but kept coming back to the Smoking Lobster. After 4hrs of riding around the island I was worried that being sweaty and in full Lycra this may not be the best look, but parked myself outside and the staff were only too happy serve me, even though I didn’t have a booking (there I was thinking I was a good planner!). Asahi on draught after a long ride sat outside in the sun was next level. After a short wait my food arrived and I asked for it all to come up at once. The Szechuan Lobster Katsu Maki was as pretty as a picture and had a delicious sweetness from the lobster after an initial Szechuan spicy, not hot, hit. Next up was Pan Seared Scallops in their lobster bisque with a side of jasmine rice. I asked if I could have an extra small jug of the bisque for my rice which they were happy to do. Scallops were soft and sweet and with the rich bisque, definitely something to savor. The rice with the bisque over it was something extra for me to get the carbs back in and blow my mind as the lobster bisque was one of the nicest I have ever had. Not cheapest meal but I want quality tasty food rather than plate fulls of everyday rubbish. My only critique is there needs to be an additional scallop. Standard practice is three, maybe four, for a main from my experience but as the quality and cooking was so top notch, this did not affect the overall experience; it would have just further enhanced it. Staff were lovely, friendly and engaging and I went back on the ferry with a bucket list ride ticked off and a restaurant on my “need to come back” list.

Came here for dinner before getting the ferry home. Didn’t have a reservation but we were seated without a problem. Very welcoming to our two children and puppy. Gorgeous food and atmosphere with excellent service.would highly recommend.

My family and I went to The Smoking Lobster, and the food was exquisite. My wife and I had the sharing roast. Everything was cooked to perfection. I'm not a fan of carrots, but their roast carrot was incredible. When a restaurant can make something, u don't usually enjoy taste that good, you know it's good a great team in in the kitchen working behind the scenes.

A really great experience and place to eat delicious Asian style cuisine with a modern twist. Super friendly staff and dogs are also welcome. Thanks!
