    Elmers Court has a magnificent view with gardens running down to the sea and views across the solent to the Isle of Wight. Their afternoon tea is top quality and staff are very friendly and attentive. It was a great experience.

    The service was very poor. We waited 35 minutes for our desserts to be delivered after ordering them. The restaurant was obviously understaffed. The poor server was rushed off her feet with the man with her disappearing completely for long periods of time. The food is ridiculously overpriced. £17 for a very small portion of duck liver pate and £15 for a bowl of apple crumble and ice cream is way too dear!

    Absolutely stinks of fish, food was poor, my daughter couldn’t even eat the pizza, she was so hungry so I was so surprised, even tried to charge her £6 for 2 scoops of ice cream. I even said after ordering please put the menus in the bin, they were so dirty, please don’t waste your money here
