Reviews for Livebait

I really want to give this restaurant 4 stars! So 3.5 will have to do. The decor is seemed to have a 1950's vibe to it. The food was lovely but possibly not much better than what my i can do at home! It was a nice pre-theater lunch which ended up at £75 with a bottle of wine. A nice treat and if anyone can stick to their cheap lunchtime menu then let me shake you by the hand!

A nice location near the town hall and a nice setting - the interior is lots of dark wood with modern shiny touches. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is good. For me it's more of a special occasion place as it's more expensive, but it does FEEL like a special occasion place. The food is good though not outstanding. There are some options for people who don't want to eat fish or seafood. I haven't tried them and I get the impression they are there for people who have gone in groups with people who don't like or can't eat fish, because they don't look as much fun as the fish dishes.

I'll be back to try their early evening offers which are very good value.

I went to this restaurant just after it first opened. Food was great as was the service. Good to know the standard has been maintained.

Set in a an impressive old building, this restaurant serves a fab assortment of quality fresh fish and seafood. Not cheap, but generally well worth it. Now has an even bigger bar area to make the most of if you have to wait. Booking definitely advisable. Often has lunchtime offers.
