Ate here after talking to someone in our B&B and was told they served good fish and seafood dishes we decided to give it a try. We booked a table just to be sure and as it was a nice evening decided to eat outside. The food was excellent we had salmon gravlax to start with seabass dauphinoise potato in a bisque and I had the seafood special. Service was good, water was constantly replenished without asking The man who served us I believe is the owner has a bit of a nonchalant demeanor but dont let that put you off Would definitely recommend if you like fish and sea food, we came to the New Forest to try a couple of restaurants should just have eaten here more often and saved a shed load of money

Had an amazing dinner at Waterman’s Rest in Lymington! Started with a flavorful seafood cocktail and perfect salmon gravlax. The freshly cooked trout and same-day sourced skate wing were delicious, paired with a refreshing and good-value Prosecco. Service was excellent, and the owner’s commitment to local vibes and top-notch ingredients really shines. If you’re in Lymington, definitely check it out!
