As always, a great experience. The food is excellent (particularly the specials), and the service friendly and knowledgeable (if a little slow because of a busy service). The fish is always good!

Definitively worth every penny—the best meal I’ve had in a very long time! So many restaurants try to deliver an upscale, premium dining experience these days, but they almost always seem to fall short when it comes to actual flavour, rarely justifying the steep price tag. The Mote is the complete opposite. They absolutely delivered on taste, freshness, and quality. Every single dish was packed with incredible flavor, proving that they care just as much about the food on the plate as they do about the beautiful historic atmosphere. It was a flawless meal and worth every single penny. If you are looking for an exceptional seafood dinner that genuinely lives up to the hype, this is it. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

A fantastic evening at The Mote in Port Isaac! We’ve been many times over the years and it never disappoints. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was great and the service was absolutely amazing. A big thank you for sorting the table for us, it was very much appreciated. We highly recommend The Mote and will definitely be returning again. Thank you for another lovely evening.

We had the most amazing meal at The Mote. The food was delicious. Could not fault it at all. The service was outstanding. Really friendly and accommodating staff. The icing on the cake was having the lovely table in the window of the first floor. This overlooked the slipway where the local band had set up for the evening. Perfect evening to end our holiday in Port Isaac.

The food was lovely, but the service was extremely slow . It took nearly 3 hours to have our 3 course meal with only 2 rounds of drinks as they were too busy to ask if we wanted anymore. I had to go to the bar to ask for a desert menu. This was a shame as the food is good.

What a superb restaurant, we ate at 6pm on a Sunday evening, 2 adults and our daughter in a wheelchair that doesn’t eat. Staff were accommodating, friendly and very hospitable. Despite being holiday makers we felt extremely welcomed! Would highly recommend, portions were also very generous Thankyou, perfect anniversary dinner
