"The finest Greek cuisine in the countryside! The service is exceptional, the staff is welcoming, and the portion sizes are generous—all at great prices. Whenever we're craving Greek food, we always choose Commercial Winds. The flavors are outstanding, and the dining experience is delightful. While takeout is nearly as good as dining in, it simply can't compare to the fantastic atmosphere created by the owner and staff at this wonderful gem of a restaurant. It's easy to overlook this hidden treasure, but don't let that happen!"

"The food was excellent 5/5 But the service was very poor. The waiter was friendly enough but he was constantly distracted chatting with his colleagues. The order has to be ordered in a certain way and was taken an hour in to our visit, the drinks took 30 minutes to come, when we reordered drinks he brought 2 of them then charred again for 10 minutes before bringing the other two. When he asked if we wanted a refill on the starter dips we said no, 15 minutes later we had run out of a couple of things so asked for a refill after all which was treated by the waiter rudely. Also, although there was a sign on the door that said cash only we weren’t told about it at the start of the meal. I even phoned up and he asked me if it was my first time so when I said yes it seemed liked the perfect opportunity to tell me about this. Overall I have to recommend because the food was that good but the service was a real let down."

"I was looking for somewhere to take my daughter for a cream tea, whilst on holiday. Was hoping to find a sweet, traditional style cafe as I think a cream tea deserves such a setting. We stumbled across Tea by the Quay and it was everything I was hoping for. We were waited on by a friendly waitress. The tea was served in a lovely old fashioned tea pot. The scone was served warm with a good amount of jam and cream and was reasonably priced. It was simply perfect! Service: Dine in Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

The Clipper Cafe

"Delightful café and justifiably busy on a wet Saturday lunchtime. Dogs are welcome and if their owners are coeliac then they can cater for them too. They have a separate fryer for gluten free and will substitute across their menu. They do gf bread and have a menu available via QR code where you can select allergens. Food was delicious, staff super friendly, patient and helpful. We had brunch great variety including lots of vegetarian options. The atmosphere was lovely and areas have clearly been updated recently. Plenty of seating upstairs and down, right by the beach and a stone’s throw from the Teignmouth foot ferry."

Crab Shack On The Beach

"Disappointing if I’m honest. We booked as a family because we really fancied some fresh seafood. When we called we specified that there were six adults, five children and a baby in a high chair. At no point during that call did anyone say that there is no children’s menu available which made for an even more expensive trip. The food was very expensive, we ended up getting the children to share three fish and chips between them and the fish inside the batter was lovely but the chips were drenched in oil. Three of us shared one of the platters and whilst it was lovely and very well presented, we all walked away hungry as there isn’t really much fish on there for you to eat. The waitress was lovely but we had to keep prompting for things we’d asked for that had been forgotten despite the restaurant being empty."
