Smoking Lobster

Inspector comments
"An enviable beachfront location and stunning views."
Overview
This contemporary seafood restaurant serves the freshest fish right on the seafront in the heart of Ventnor Bay. Bleached wooden floorboards, bare tables and an uncluttered white decor sets a suitably maritime mood. The kitchen sends out an impressive range of Asian-inspired dishes using locally landed seafood, including lobster when in season.

About the area
Small and intimate – at just 23 miles by 13 miles, the Isle of Wight is a popular holiday destination; with its mild climate, long hours of sunshine and colourful architecture, it has something of a continental flavour. Visitors can walk along the island’s varied coastline using the well-established Coast Path or step back in time to explore the island’s history at some of the forts and castles
