Fantastic service and exquisite fresh food. Modern approach to serving seafood (for example innovative fresh oyster dressings, little delicious flavour combinations, simple unexpected wonders). Fish is so fresh it's shining & sparkling on your plate. I would personally come back here immediately as soon as I'm in Penzance again. This is a foodie stopover. Thank you to all staff and chefs.

Delightful food (if a little on the pricey side)! Great service and a lovely shop with items to purchase. So glad we stopped!

My mum and I popped in for lunch on my birthday. It's great for small bites! We had the prawns, and my little one had the grilled cheese sandwich. Everything tasted good. The staff are super friendly, as it was our first time, we would have appreciated if the waitress had told us about ordering our food and drinks at the desk, we sat at the table a little lost for a while. But that won't stop us coming back. Definitely recommend.

Hats off to 45 queen st! I went for a meal with my mum and can honestly say it's one of the best meals I've had out, for so many reasons. Firstly flavour, we chose 3 dishes and every one was creative, so fresh and bursting with flavours. The sort of food you slow down to eat, savouring each mouthful. Secondly the wine, it's was all delicious. Then the puddings, we had the chocolate cremaeux and the honey possett. So creamy, so tasty and the perfect finish to the meal. I can honestly say I felt like I was having a holistic experience! And to top it all off the prices were really fair. For the quality of food and drinks, which felt like fine dining in a really relaxed, Informal setting, the prices were so bang on. So I didn't leave feeling like a had a hole in my pocket from a really inadequate meal. ( Which seems to be becoming the norm in other places) I felt like I had the best dining experience eating fabulous food in a wonderful setting! Well done for the thought that has gone into 45 queen st and the love. It's not table service as such here, so can be a little confusing at first, but once you get into the rhythm and work out where you order and how much to order between you. (Shared plates are commen) Then it's wonderful!

Wow! From the moment we walked up to the front door, we were warmly welcomed, chatted to and made to feel so at home. The cocktails were delicious and everything we tried from the menu was a stand out. We met the owners who were awesome and kindly shared their story. This is such a hidden gem and one of the most delicious meals I’ve had in a long time. Thank you!

A very friendly restaurant with a special atmosphere. The food is fish, vegetarian and vegan. And very fine. All dishes are very well labelled. The staff are friendly. We felt very comfortable.

Such a cool place, interior and food amazingly curated. Food was delicious, great for sharing bits with people or individual meals. Loved the deli/shop in the corner.

Found this cozy deli and restaurant by chance when walking through the town centre and heard some lively atmosphere. The food was lovely and the staff were very nice and helpful. The focaccia was amazing, oysters were fresh and the fish and veggies were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!
