Wow. This place is great. We didn't book a table so we came quite early. And I was pleased we did as around 8.00 pm the restaurant was full. Originally we wanted to go for tasting menu which looked very tempting and you could even have it with wine flight. But at the end we chose from a la carte... More

4 of us ate at Samphire Restaurant last week, we didn't book a table but were politely greeted by a friendly waitress who seated us upstairs immediately, took our coats for us and gave us menus. The wine we had was exquisite and there was a wide variety of wines from different countries, we were spoilt for choice! The food... More

We had a fine dinner at Samphire while visiting Falmouth for just one night. We went there on the recommendation of Oliver's restaurant which was full that night, it was a good suggestion and we were certainly not disappointed. The food was lovely and fresh with tasty mixes of flavours. The monkfish and muscles in a mild curry sauce was... More

We dined here and can thoroughly recommend it. The five course tasting menu was exactly as it should be - a showcase for the restaurant!

The Board advertising specials were not on offer when we went in. 3 things on the menu were off although only 2 others in the resturant. There were only 2 deserts on the special board and when I ordered one was told it had run out. They still didn't rub it out so people kept trying to order it. I... More

We visited this restaurant on Saturday and treated ourselves to the taster menu. I am vegetarian and my partner is a meat eater. The food was fantastic, every course as good as the others. Great choice for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Also very reasonably priced with wonderful, friendly, helpful staff. Thanks Samphire, will definitely come back and highly recommend... More

Came to area for a family function and decided to try here after. The staff accommodated our party and were very attentive. Any queries or requirements were dealt with. My only gripe was that there was no chicken on the menu. I'm not a fussy eater but I do like my chicken and there was none! Good value for money... More

Went for my mothers 60th birthday last night and had a very good meal. She is an awkward eater but there was still a lot she could eat. The rest of us were struggling to choose as there was so many nice choices. Unfortunately they had run out of all the duck. Staff were very helpful.
