   Outstanding as always. The food is exquisite. You have to book in advance but shows how popular the place is. The staff are so friendly and welcoming which just adds to the lovely ambience of the place. Extensive cocktail and wine list. It is our go to place.

   The standard and consistency are impeccable at Smoking Lobster. Continual development means there are always new dishes. Small plates are the latest offering but we were pleased and relieved the specials board main course is still available. Probably our favourite restaurant in the UK, not just IOW.
