I was really impressed with this cafe bar restaurant, it had a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Very dog friendly. The staff are real friendly and a great help when ordering food with allergies to consider. They have specific gluten free and vegan menu’s with so much choice. The food was also really good, I have a few intolerances and they were fully catered for in many dishes. The quality and taste was great.

A lovely little find today by the water. The food was very nice and well presented. I am gluten intolerant and there were a good number of options on the menu! 😊 I had the sea bass and calamari today. both were lovely dishes! I will definitely return in the warmer months to come.

Bustling little cafe with about 8 tables inside and more outside. Plenty of gluten free options, less vegan but friendly, swift service and a great location on the beach below the old radar site and parking nearby. 15min walk up to Highcliff castle though was a bit muddy in April.

We cannot thank Daria enough for her fantastic service on the 16th August for our party of 8. We had a number of dietary requirements including a pregnancy in our party, however Daria couldn’t have been more accommodating and reassuring, no question or query was to much as she went back and forth checking with the kitchen and updating us. We received 5* service, the food was fantastic and we throughly enjoyed our evening. Our drinks were never empty which made us feel attended at all times. It’s not often you can go somewhere and have gluten and dairy free options, especially due to many waiting staff not having much knowledge. There was so many food choices and options to choose from! We will definitely be back again for sure! Thank you again for the fantastic service Daria!!

We always have an amazing time at The Jetty. It is our top choice for a restaurant. The food is delicious and they even offer gluten-free options. The views are stunning and the service is consistently excellent, especially from our server Karol.
