Lovely place. I wish there was a little more FISH on the menu, rather than mainly seafood and just one fish offering, but we had a truly delicious dinner, the place is very pretty, the starters were AMAZING, and service is great.

Really impressive. Great looking dishes, full of great flavour, for about 20%-30% less than you might find elsewhere. Four very content diners.

My first visit to the Copper Clam, which was a real treat. Lovely outlook, décor, staff and atmosphere. It could be said that there are less menu options than other restaurants but this was not an issue with my two guests and I all selecting different starters and mains. Interesting and different dishes with fantastic depths of flavours.

My daughter and I visited for the first time for Sunday lunch. We were very well looked after and the food was amazing- probably the best meal I have had all year. Good view of the sea and passers by walking along the seafront. We will definitely be returning.

A wonderful meal here at Copper Clam , really inventive menu . We had the miso oysters and tempura oysters , totally delicious with kimchi . We then shared 4 of the smaller plates including Cajun Monkfish and Smoked Squid . Totally exceeded our expectations and chatting to the Chef Ash and Joel and hearing their passion for food and good service it’s not surprising. We will definitely return .

It was our first time there. It was recommended to us by friends. Honestly the food was good, the menu was limited. Just wasn’t amazing. The staff were great and lovely. So service was great. We ticked it off our list of must try.
