"After re searching on here where was best to go for a casual chilled out dinner with work colleagues I thought this place sounded cool. When we arrived we were shown to our table and ordered drinks and all was fine but after a while...it dawned on us nobody had come back to take our food order. When we finally placed it the waitress advised us to order starters as there was a 35 minute wait on food which we did. After over an hour with no starters appearing we chased them up and they told us they would get our mains our soon along with our starters at the same time We told them to therefore skip the starters as they weren’t needed. Might have been nice at this point to been offered more drinks or maybe one on the house for the long wait caused. After a lot of chasing our main meals finally came out at 8.55 1hr 40 minutes after sitting down at the restaurant! The burgers were very plain and average and not anything like the description on the menu which was disappointing. The beanie burger was a soya burger not a beanie burger as described on the menu! There wasn’t even so much as a garnish on the plate to dress it up. Pretty glad we ordered fries and coleslaw as a side. By this point we all felt a bit deflated, we had been completely ignored and nobody had even checked our meals were ok or cleared our plates afterwards. We paid the bill and left and won’t be returning as the way we were looked after was truly disappointing. I’m not sure what quite went wrong in the kitchen that night but it can’t possibly take that long to cook some burgers when the restaurant was not that busy or even full. When we asked to speak to the manager the guy didn’t even seem to know who the manager was that night! Shambles!"

"I went in here for a drink quiet recently and it's was alright staff were friendly I met a few people I knew from antique stores. I never go here on a Friday or Saturday night too much hassle. I live in torquay however I check with the people I know who also use this bar and I do agree with them that food can be hot and miss whether u get a good meal or not. I disagree with others who have left reviews saying this bar is dirty its actually tidy compared to most in torbay. I know most of their staff in here although I keep myself to myself as much as possible. I find their fruit machines are fair and win fairly often on them. I love the atmosphere in here and sometimes come in with my old grandad who loves a hot chocolate every now and then. I know my grandad wants to try your fish and chips one Friday but don't know when but hopefully he will enjoy it. I know your in tough competition when The babbacome inn do a fantastic cod and chip so we'll see who's best I guess... lets hope it's still a five star review after trying it... I believe to make proper reviews u got to try the drinks for a start see the staff serve u are polite and friend can have a laugh and of course at least once or twice try the food I did have a curry in here once I didn't rate at all but do try good at least twice in any pub or restaurant in torquay before u truly judge it thats why there will be another review coming if my meal not up to standand next time I have it in yates with my grandad."

"We wish we had visited this restaurant earlier in our holiday and will definitely make it our go-to spot for future vacations! We had walked past this place many times over the years without ever going in, but during this holiday we saw a sign for Wood Fired Pizzas and decided to give it a try. We received a lovely warm welcome from Sylvia, who seated us by a window with a beautiful view of the sea. The service was excellent and our pizzas were delicious. Sylvia even let me sample the Annings cider before I ordered, which ended up being my favorite drink for the whole holiday. The atmosphere and decor were much nicer than it appeared from the outside. We booked a table for another evening and were thrilled to be seated by the window again as we had requested. Sylvia welcomed us back and recommended the Pork Schnitzel, which was also delicious. Reg (I believe, based on the receipt) provided excellent service as well. The entire staff was very attentive. The desserts were also delicious. They have tables outside on the veranda, where many people were enjoying the nice weather. The restaurant is dog-friendly, which led us to strike up conversations with other diners while petting their dogs. The restaurant and toilets were clean. We enjoyed a few drinks after our meal each time because we loved the atmosphere. Thank you to Sylvia and the staff for the fantastic food and service. We hope to visit again on future holidays! - Julie and Dave"
