    Amazing experience and would highly recommend. I booked the table in advance, advising that it was my partners birthday - we were greeted with a glass of Prosecco which was a lovely touch to the evening. I also had pre-advised of an allergy (coeliac) and the table already had an allergen menu placed and staff were incredible. All were willing to help with any queries and ensured everything I opted for was gluten free. All staff were attentive and we were served quickly. Not one bad thing to mention!!

    The food was outstanding. I have some allergies and the waiter was very kind and made sure about my meal for me. I had the catch if the day. I will definitely be going back. A lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

    Three weekends in a row we have had friends visit and each time we've taken them to the Sharksfin and all of them (and us) have had a great meal. Really friendly service and such an iconic location on Mevagissey harbour.

    Efficient staff . The seafood soup was great but the fish and chips were substandard. Little boys of chips. Overpriced.
    The SharksfinResponded on 5 November 2024
    Hello Robert, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We appreciate your recognition of our servers efforts and efficiency; and are glad that you greatly enjoyed the seafood chowder. However due to the fact that the fish and chips has such fantastic feedback and is once of the most sought after dishes on our menu, we are disappointed to learn that you didn't think as highly of the fish and chips. We hope that you will give us the opportunity to prove ourselves and consider trying the fish and chips again at some point. We hope to see you again soon. From The Sharksfin Team
