"My wife ordered the fish of the day, which was supposed to come with pasta and lobster bisque sauce. Unfortunately, there was no bisque sauce; while the fish itself was acceptable, it too was underseasoned, and overall, the dish was lacking in flavor and poorly executed. We waited over 50 minutes for two plates of food that fell well below average. We were so hungry that we finished our meals in about 10 minutes and left. Upon exiting, I mentioned to the staff how unsatisfactory our experience was, and the response I received was, "I’ll let the kitchen know." This place is a complete disappointment and really needs to reassess their entire service model or consider closing down. Honestly, it felt like a total joke. Many other reviews echo similar sentiments. It was very disheartening, and I won’t be returning or recommending this restaurant to anyone. The only positive aspect was the great view, but I'm sure they'll continue to take advantage of their location to mislead customers.

Very disappointing. Slow service, below average food. One main sent back , just unpleasant. Alternative offered, but again an unacceptable delay by which time the other main had been finished and cleared. FOH staff apologetic and bill adjusted, but overall probably our worst dining experience. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

A few weeks ago, my parents and I visited this restaurant, and they kindly accommodated us despite their busy schedule. We were so grateful to get a table because the food was absolutely amazing! We ordered scallops, prawns, mussels, and seabass with pasta, and everything was cooked to perfection—it truly impressed me. I would definitely return to Paignton just for the opportunity to dine here again. Food: 5 | Service: 5 | Atmosphere: 5 View menu

Me and my wife enjoyed a fantastic meal here last night. For the starters, the mussels were fantastic and the calamari were amazing. Then for main we both had sea bass as the fish of the day. My wife had it with noodles and shrimp where as I had it herb crusted with a potato fondant. Both were fantastic. I cannot recommend this place more as the food and service were impeccable.

Unfortunately this was a disappointing visit !! We sat down at 7.30 to be only served our drink options at 8.15 . We then waiting a further hour for our starter and then another hour for the main . We didn't end up leaving till 10.30 which left us short for time for things afterwards. It's such a shame the food is amazing!!! and high standard and the taste is incredible like something I haven't eaten before each flavour is divine. But service was shocking not only the timings but no cutlery was given to our party of 5 we grabbed our own that was dumped at the bar !! And one dish didn't come out for starters so we called them after 20 mins of waiting. They said they forgot so went to cook it....

"We use this place to wow our clients. From large corperate to small business owners, each (wish I could swear to emphasise here) love this place. This IS the best Tapas, if not, best restaurant locally. A fine dining menu with a friendly, relaxed, yet special feel. They nail a multitude of cuisines, with each dish being the best variation of it i've tasted. Now i'm only in my (late) 20's, but our clients vary and all of which that have come here agree and never want to leave. Each time they come to visit us, we don't firstly look at agenda's, we look to see if we can get a seat here. The chefs are excellent, but you don't always come back just because the food is great, which is why Sara and her team are the best at what they do. Sara makes everyone feel special and really knows cares about her stuff. She deals with each situation perfectly and even when i've had to sit and cringe at situations, she spins it expertly, avoids any awkwardness and ends up making even the worst jokes seemingly brilliant. You have the likes of the elephant/ other boujee' fine dining restaurants which when we have a client used to be first the options we'd think of, but now it's nothing other than here. The others have a pretensious aura and make lovely meals in a stale atmosphere, but not here as you can enjoy the occasion and company just as much as the amazing food. My one and only critism is that it's now impossible to find another place to take our clients, which is why I returned with the same client on Thursday and they couldn't be happier. I could write a lot more, but won't be a bore, so i'll end by saying thank you for keeping going. I first came to you after you recently opened, with my father and his spanish friend (a typical spanish bloke... a big headed chef, which your food is the first he did not critique). You were seemingly struggling and it even felt like you were close to giving up. We're all glad you didn't. Thank you Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"
