    Lovely friendly staff, we had a lovely window seat. The service was very quick, considering there were 7 of us with lots of different choices of food. Great with the children too.

    We are visiting from the US and went to the Beach for my husband’s birthday. The service was outstanding. Our food was absolutely delicious. Our kids were treated very well and we couldn’t ask for a better evening. Thank you, Beach Restaurant!

    We always visit the Beach restaurant when we come to St Ives. We are never disappointed . The staff and quality of food is always very good. Lovely views. We have never felt rushed to vacate the table even at busy times.
