Severe food poisoning and awful customer service.I don?t usually leave reviews but unfortunately after my husband and I suffered severe food poisoning from this restaurant last month I feel I should inform others.We were poisoned from their rock oysters - presumably the water which they had been prepared in was contaminated. I am aware that there is always a high risk when consuming raw seafood, however what was most disappointing was their customer service following the incident. We emailed them to make them aware we were ill. It took them a week to reply with an initial response. They told us that they were investigating the matter with their suppliers and would get back to us but they never did! No explanation, apology or even an offer to compensate our meal.Very disappointing for a restaurant of this price point and reputation.

Mostly great restaurant experienceArrived and got a friendly greeting. Sat at my table and ordered my food from the menu, which isn't the longest but enough choice.Starter was escargot with the pastis flame, absolutely delicious and helped by more bread for mopping up!Main was a slightly odd skate wing, Indian spiced. The green vegetables were ok, but sadly prep was poor and washing was inadequate so they still had grit in!Dessert was a chocolate mousse, nice flavours, undramatic texture and overall experience.Toilets clean.Staff efficient and organised if small delays clearing plates and serving next course. Minor issue only. Needs tweak to get to next level.Ps nice Kombucha cocktail.

Aldeburgh Sur mer chefs definitely know how to cook but are let down by front of house and a lack of finesse by some of the more junior waiting staff who had not been trained to a sufficient standard to match the prices and our expectations. Cutlery thrown onto the table, ?being asked what do you want now?? and having to ask 5 or 6 times for a beer are a few examples of the shambles that greeted us. But the biggest problem was the way in which our family member in a wheelchair was treated. We had done a lot of work prior to the booking to ensure a seamless experience but all in vain, still the same old kerfuffle greeted us as though people in wheelchairs don?t tend to eat in posh restaurants. A glass of champagne on the house didn?t make up for this oversight on their part. And finally the portion size of the turbot has been mentioned in other reviews. Extremely bad experience given the positive reviews we had read before.

Beautiful meal over Christmas. Delicious food and cocktails and attentive and personalised service. Dog friendly which was a big plus for us. Not cheap but no faults at all.

Had dinner in the restaurant only. Great scallops to start and a near perfect venison main dish. Great service. Definitely will return when I'm next in Aldeburgh.

Excellent and interesting seafood and fish restaurant in a nice room in the middle of Aldeburgh. Starters of pigeon breast - very good - and the dressed suffolk crab was delicious. Main of monkfish in curry sauce was a little disappointing but the halibut en croute was superb. It's pricey and the wine list isn't cheap but the quality of the food was very good. Only 4 stars because the overall quality of experience didn't quite match the prices.

Very friendly staff, good service, and a pleasant atmosphere. You are not rushed, which adds to the overall experience.Food & drinks: Went for a celebratory meal with relatives. Really fresh oysters, I had a sharing beef dish, which was unusually a little chewy in places. But we had a great time with some great wines. It's a little expensive, but we'll worth a visit. Will definitely be going back again
