Quay Seafood Fine Cuts - Bedford

We had decided to dine out tonight as a family and decided to go to 'The Quay ' after having previously had an enjoyable dining experience there before covid. For my starter I ordered the calamari and crevettes, sautéed with cafe de paris butter sauce with chilli and sourdough bread. My starter was pleasant and the prawns were delicious, however the calamari was a little chewy indicating it had been slightly over cooked. My wife and son ordered the samosas which were accompanied with some tasty sides of chutney. They were tasty and flavoursome which both my wife and son enjoyed. I ordered the Calcutta Cod curry for my main course as I love fish. The cod was cooked perfectly and flaked off the skin in large white chunks. However in my opinion the curry just lacked depth of flavour which was disappointing. The service was polite and attentive without being too overbearing. My wife 's steak burger was cooked precisely how she specified she wanted it, which was medium to well done. My son enjoyed his chicken burger which was cooked nicely, also and the portion size of chips which accompanied the burgers were certainly generous and tasty. Overall a postive experience however sadly some elements of the food left me slightly disappointed but this was not a disaster by any stretch of the imagination. Looking forward to our next visit. Great food and a pleasant atmosphere.

We chose this restaurant for our jubilee party and it was a great choice! a very beautifully decorated place with great food. I recommend very cauliflower in sweet-chilli sauce and seafood. very professional and friendly service. thanks for a great evening.

Food is 10/10.... Best seafood restaurant I have eaten at in the UK.... however service was lacking. No check back, had to find staff and ask for more drinks, had to ask for dessert menu... which resulted in us being there 3.5 hours for meal (they then turned the lights off on us!!! But as I said best food you will have....

The restaurant is beautiful and offers a fantastic experience. The steak was good, the wings were perfect, and the cake batter was delicious. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience with a wonderful atmosphere.

When we first visited, I mentioned that I would order the lobster when it looked as good as what others had. It certainly did not disappoint; both main dishes we had were fantastic and simply amazing. This time, we decided to share the mixed grill, which is meant for two, but honestly, it could easily serve four. I was really impressed with everything, except for one letdown—the spicy starter we had. It was overcooked and difficult to eat, which was disappointing because the butter sauce was delicious.
