Review Hix Oyster House -Lyme Regis

Really nice location , great to sit out on the deck and good old British weather did not let us down

Service is ok, maybe a little too relaxed 2.5 hours for a two course meal, maybe too long for some but it was a nice day. Could do with being a little more attentive to empty water and asking if anyone needs anything, no mid meal check backs done

Excellent starters stand out dish mackerel salad with boiled egg and herb salad, very nice, but had to search for mackerel, a little more would made this a stand out 10/10 dish. I would say in general starters little bit pricey for quantity, however all excellent flavours, average 6/7 out 10

Mains were exceptional except for the dressed crab extremely poorly presented just chucked out of a packet and on to a plate, no care to make it look appealing or appetising, come on chef, you can do better especially for £14 




Other mains in comparison were far better it's hard to believe that same chef served up these different dishes. Rack lamb with cockles was excellent, as was the sea trout with girolle and samphire salad.

I would have scored higher had it not been for the crab main course you can get better on the Cobb for far less
