A delightful combination of tender grilled steak and succulent seafood, perfectly seasoned and served with a choice of sides.

"I've been lucky to be able to photograph for 2 weddings at the Anglers Rest now and both times have been amazing. The guys are so accomadating and Agi is worth her weight in gold she's a superstar. Lovely venue, lovely staff and even better food highly recommended for any couple who wants that intimate and more personal alternative to the big hotels. Hopefully I'll see you guys soon Andy @forgedinlovephotography"

"I was in London to attend a conference and was looking for a good steak restaurant after the event close out. I was pleasently surprised to find this charming Argentinian restaurant with excellent reviews. I walked there from the station with my rain coat. The ambiance was nice and the food was great, but unfortunately I had a very unpleasent experience which I will proceed to illustrate. There were many white Europeans inside and a lady who looked Asian. I am from Angola, but look a little Arabic due to my lighter complexion. People payed normally and left. When it was my turn to pay, I too asked for the bill from the younger waiter and paid. Apparently, the older (supposedly Argentinian) waiter did not see me pay and when I left the restaurant she went after me outside inquiring if I had paid. I then showed her the card receipt as evidence. This event was quite saddening to me. There were some German tourists outside who witnessed the occurrence as they were leaving as well. Whether I can blame this on a bias I really don't know, but what I can share is that this really changed the whole mood of my trip which had been quite pleasent up to that point. Appart from that, everything was great. The restaurant is really nice, the other waiter who happened to be from Romania was really friendly, and the food was excellent. Maybe I was just unlucky."

"it was so good to go back to the parson woodforde today that allyson steve is at the tax. a so beautiful pub, recently reopened and worth a visit. lunch was absolutely excellent, the leber and speck was for dying. After we ate in the drayton old lodge at many occasions, we were thrilled to hear that this amazing couple had taken over this pub and gave us a reliable spot to catch up with friends. I could add that we have to travel there for an hour and half a time, but it is worth it. when the opportunity appears, we will certainly use the beautiful accommodation and then they can enjoy the full monty breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner! a beautiful greeting, especially for our labor, harvey, (ventilated in the bar area), which the experience as much as we enjoyed. thanks to allyson and her personal for such a nice lunch time, we will be back! especially when my favorite shiraz was reminded and produced at my arrival how good this is! I wish them all very best in their new venture."

"We ordered a set menu for two priced at approx. £25/head. Drinks are expensive £7.50 for a Singha beer over £9 for a glass of white wine Pinot Grigio). The starters were very greasy and the mains were OK but smothered in chillis, which is OK of you like a lot of heat. No waterbowls are provided and paper napkins are wholly inappropriate given the amount of oil on the starters. For the prices they charge, proper cloth napkins should be the norm. A 10% service charge automatically added at the end of the meal makes it very embarassing to ask to remove it. There are far better places to eat in the locality offering better value. We won't be going back and will not be recommending the Lime Leaf to friends."

"The starters that my husband and I had, were delicious and we were so excited to get our mains and that’s where it all went downhill. My husband steak (rib-eye) was just edible however, mine was inedible due to fat and the outside of the steak, being burnt (also a rib-eye). I did politely tell them and rightfully so, they didn’t charge me for my steak. They charged me for my sauce and side but hey ho. The bottle of Shiraz had LOTS of crystallised segments in it, to the point I couldn’t finish my last glass. Nothing was done about this when I also mentioned and showed the waitress. I was just told it was the amount of sugar that was in that particular bottle???? Was very disappointed."

"Review written by wife. The overall experience was good, the starters were great however there were a few things that let it down. 1) It took a while for our food to come out. 2) The drinks we ordered came out in dribs and drabs. At one point a drink for our table was given to another table. Also, we then got the same drink twice. There seemed to be a lack of communication between the waiters. 3) The food was nice, however, my husband ordered his steak and lamb to be medium well but when it came it was practically raw. He wasn’t even able to cut into it. The waitress was nice enough to take it back and have it cooked a bit more. 4) My parents food was way too salty we’re a family who like salt so for us to say it was too salty is really something. The waitress was nice enough to take it back and when it came out it was much better. 5) I had the prawn curry which was nice, it said it was a coconut lime curry however all you could taste was lime which I didn’t mind so much but after a while it was a bit sharp. 6) We called the waitress over again as my sister had ordered taco’s but she didn’t want them anymore, however when we called over the waitress she made it very clear that she was fed up/tired of having to come over to our table. She sighed before speaking and her body language clearly showed she didn’t want to be there. 7) The cocktails seemed as though they had been watered down. I got the bramble and when it came it just tasted of soda water which wasn’t great and so did my sisters cocktail. With adjustments to attitudes and service, it could be a really great place."

"I've visited this restaurant several times, and the food and service are both excellent. However, I have one complaint about the background music. I don’t understand why restaurateurs feel that a meal must be accompanied by music that makes conversation difficult. It’s particularly challenging for me, as I have a hearing issue and had to ask for the volume to be lowered, which they did. But honestly, soft background music should suffice—there’s no need for someone belting out songs. When this happens, which is often these days, I just want to leave."

"Higher Prices, smaller portions I generally rate La Vita highly but this time I need to mark it down as I feel the pinch of shrinkflation, prices have gone up whilst portions (e.g. pasta) have become smaller. I also have to mention the dessert we got, it was the toffee popcorn sundae. Now my wife does not like complaining but as a trusted customer I must. In the past I have enjoyed this dessert but not the last two times. This most recent time, the dessert was 80% whipped cream and 20% ice cream, should be the other way around. If I wanted a mouthful of whipped cream I would just go to Asda and buy a can of sprayable cream and eat that. But I don't expect that in a restaurant charging almost £10 for the dessert. I don't know if its a money saving idea to give the customer less ice cream. The mains was still decent enough."

"This was the first time we had been here. I will definitely be visiting again. The service was fantastic despite being a little early for our table. Didn’t have to wait for anything. We all went for the roast lunch option which has to be one of the tastiest i’ve Eaten out. Was excellent value for money."

"Lost count how many times we have visited Sidmouth, and one of the main reasons for going is down to Neil 's Restaurant, which in itself says it all. Last week we only managed 3 visits trying to go through the menu, spoilt for choice. We have never been disappointed with any course ever. In fact quite the opposite. The food is freshly cooked with some gentle exquisite sources, plenty of fresh vegetables and special deserts. The staff are great, efficient and friendly, its a great atmosphere. Super quality food at a sendible and reasonable price. One of the telling points is that they were full every night they were open, which is why we could only get in 3 times, luckily we had booked the 3 well in advance. Its an asset to Sidmouth, and you could well understand if estate agents put them as a local asset in the amenities of the particulars of property for sale, could increase the region 's already high property prices, wish we lived near by."

"Unfortunately I had to give one star of each as it would allow me to continue we had a table booked and confirmed with a dome booking that was given complimentary on the original booking as the venue had a private function on and couldn’t seat us in the restaurant thought it would be a nice change as celebrating the wife’s birthday arrived 10mins early to find out that they had put our reservation in the diary and was nothing they could do for us we were the first to arrive for the dome seating so not sure why one of the other parties weren’t told they couldn’t have their meal so we were given the option to have a table in restaurant where they had a private at 7.30pm so would have been in the way of people or rebook but this was my wife’s birthday meal we ended up trying to find elsewhere the lady that served us asked where are you going on a Saturday night at 7pm don’t know as we weren’t expecting to have to go elsewhere being honest don’t think we would be giving it another try has left a bad taste"

"We made a reservation for 7:30 pm and ordered drinks before placing our meal orders. We were extremely disappointed by how long it took for our meals to be served - a 45-minute wait. As we waited, we saw other customers arriving and quickly receiving their meals. We should have left instead of just sitting there. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone unless you enjoy waiting for a long time. In response to their feedback on how they can improve, my suggestion would be to either shut down or hire a new chef."
"I adore this pub, it's such a lovely spot. The bar staff are friendly and the selection of wines, spirits, and beers is fantastic. Most importantly, the service is top-notch."

"Food was beautiful however I did have the rack of lamb but I politely asked the waitress if I could send it back as it was too tough. This was not a problem at all she was great and reassured me she would sort this out. I never usually complain but I couldn’t chew the lamb at all. I had a fresh plate of food which was amazing and I would definitely recommend and order again. The staff were wonderful at making me feel at ease about sending my food back. They were very professional and very apologetic throughout our time here. My partner loved his food to he had the pork belly. We will definitely return. Absolutely fantastic food!"

"They were apparently in the middle of a hand on new fellowship. but we didn't say that. we got a temporary menu and half of it wasn't on camp. had not even been nurturing at hahn. my wings started and steak were delicious. but the main reason I came here was for the dauphinois kartoffels that they had not, or shell potatoes. that was very disappointing. we had first a lady who participated in our table and her attitude absolutely stank. then a young man changed, who was nice. but still not the difficultness that the kitchen had until we asked why we got such a terrible time. I don't think we paid the full price for our meal in all honesty. very bad all in all"

"What a lovely country pub. The interior was such a surprise restaurant was decorated like a Tudor banqueting hall very grand. The staff were very friendly and helpful and attentive enough for us to feel well looked after. The food was freshly cooked, with good quality ingredients, served hot and tasted delicious. Overall, an excellent experience which everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you to all involved :"

"super stuffed after a massive everything you can eat sushi festival. While all that they can eat is limited to 6 passages (unlimited repetitions) all 8 hot dishes (limited rounds), I must admit that the portions are fully equitable and we manage 3 passages 8 hot dishes between us 3. the sashimi was fresh and sushi was well maintained. I'll go back next time I need my sushi binding!"

"I had a great experience at this restaurant with their American-inspired menu. I tried the diner chicken burger, fries, cheeseburger, and a salad with a unique dressing that was a mix of ranch and another flavor. I highly recommend it!"
