Reviews in Dartmouth

Do not bother to get any cakes from this bakery. Quality very poor and definitely not made on the premises! The owner, I presume and his wife were extremely rude when we asked if the cakes were freshly baked and made us feel as if we were insulting them by asking the question. The gentleman although wearing gloves seemed unaware he could be cross contaminating the food by not using appropriate food tongs. Over priced for the quality of food we bought.

Five Star We visited Annabelles kitchen on the night it opened. The food and atmosphere was excellent. We had a window table with a wonderful view and the hostess and chef were very attentive. We were so impressed we tried to put an item on Tripadvisor but they were unable to oblige (probably because it was a new restaurant). Very good value for money. We will certainly pay another visit when we are next in Dartmouth

We really liked this place. They were very friendly and attentive, the food was superb and locally-sourced with some imaginative twists such as serving a shot of apple brandy with the cheese. Wish it was just around the corner!

Superb, elegant restaurant with British traditional menu. Excellent food, service, value for money, idyllic location. An absolute must when you visit Dartmouth. Looking forward to our next visit.

Well what can I say, other than amazing! Everything from the moment we walked in the door where we were greeted by the ever smiling Mark to the moment we left was perfect. I had the Sea Bass which was cooked to perfection and served simply with some creamed leeks, my husband had the Bream which was so soft and fresh I had to sample some! The rather scrummy manager, Gareth, chose us a beautiful bottle of Muscadet to compliment our food. Well done guys!

Family ate here for lunch on a week day. Excellent fish dishes and fast and friendly service. Accommodated our young daughter and baby with no fuss at all. Classy restaurant, we would definitely like to return.

My husband & I visited the Seahorse on 13th August, he had booked the table as a surprise for me and I'm glad he did! We had not been having a good week and went expecting something to go wrong, however we needn't have worried !The setting, service etc were all perfect. We both had fish dishes for the main course which were outstanding in both flavour and freshness. Desserts and cheese were lovely as well. We hope to go back soon!

My advice would be to not eat in this restaurant! We went on out holiday end of July 08, As it has a bakery downstairs we assumed that the food would be home cooked. we ordered the cornish pasty & chips whilst my sister ordered jacket potato. for starters her potato was uncooked so she could not eat it and our pasties were absolutely disgusting. mine was supposed to be cheese potato & onion but it was really just potato with a few spices. my mums was supposed to be traditional cornish but it was just a lot o mush which was also pink so it was obviously uncooked. when the Bill came and it was over £30 i was not impressed. I asked the waitress if they ask if their customers are satisfied with their meal, she looked at me with her nose in the air and stated we normally do, why what's wrong with yours, i advised her of the above, a second waitress came over and said we don't make the pasties we just cook them (this is obviously what they serve in their bakery too) waitresses were not at all bothered that we were unsatisfied with our meals as they will always receive new customers whereas local pubs have to keep up their reputations. i was absolutely disgusted with the treatment i received and would not return even if i was paid!

Had a glorious meal and a great night's entertainment on Saturday. Mark Hix was in the kitchen with Mitch, such a great atmosphere and food to die for. This is definitely being included on my favourites list. Its a venue that feels comfortable, relaxed and inviting on the one hand but has a menu to rival the best food in the UK let alone Devon.

We visited the Laughing Monk in Strete on July 2nd 2008, Lunch was absolutely mouth watering. The Scallops were cooked to perfection on a bed of salad with Chefs home made dressing, and avocado/ horseradish puree. The Bakewell Tart and cream dessert was most traditional, as the owners Ben And Jackie worked in the Cavendish Hotel near to Bakewell in Derbyshire. The Menu at The Laughing Monk specialises in seafood which is all sourced Locally, as are the Vegetables and Meat. We recommend a visit to this lovely Restaurant and enjoy the friendly atmosphere .

This is fine dining at its very best, and in a beautiful location overlooking the River Dart. Chef Malcolm Wybrow cooks all food to order using fresh ingredients and the best Devon meat, fish and seafood. For starters, try the pan fried scallops with smoked bacon, garlic butter and a hint of cream, or the salad of smoked duck and oranges, or one of the many choices of starters and main courses from the specials board - which carries a wide choice of the best of the daily fish catches. For the main course, my daughter had roasted rump of Dartmoor Lamb with a red onion and wine gravy, which was as sweet and tender as you would expect lamb to be; my son enjoyed a traditional Surf n Turf, served with massive king prawns and I had melt in the mouth medallions of Exmoor Venison served with a cranberry and redcurrent compote, perfectly poached pear and parship crisps, which were far superior to anything you can buy. The kids were too full to eat anything but ice cream for dessert, but I couldn't resist the amaretto cheesecake on an amaretto biscuit base, Malcom's own creation. All courses were served by Malcom's wife Karen, a cook in her own right, who was extremely attentive and delighted the kids by calling them "sir" and "madam". We all agreed this was the best meal we had ever tasted. Sails is just to the edge of the centre of town, near Bayard's Cove. Dartmouth is known for its fine food, but Sails has to be among the very top restaurants in the town.

The Ferry Boat Inn in Dittisham has the best position on the river Dart. With a window that overlooks the river, it must be the best view ever. The food is lovely and generous in it's portion size. All food home made by staff who in turn are all local. The ambience is second only to the view, locals and holiday makers alike come back again and again to join in with the regular entertainments. It maybe the weekly quiz or any number of impromptu music sessions or if you want just watching the world go by. Agetha Christie had a home just across the river, she loved the Dart and so will anyone who visits the Ferry Boat Inn, FBI to those who love it.

A most enjoyable evening spent at Sails. From the moment we walked in the door we were welcomed by a very friendly and effecient staff, to the wonderful and interesting food cooked to a very high standard. Went on the recommendation of friends who live in Brixham and we were not disappointed. 14/4/07

An oasis in a sea of restaurants in Dartmouth what a find, will come again.

The best roast dinners in Devon!! Will definitely be back again. Nice friendly atmos in the bar area too.

Stopped off for lunch after reading the reviews here, sat in the rear garden with sea views. A couple of glasses of lovely rose and a salad of artichoke and sweet peppers and my partner had a huge salmon & crab fishcake-both were delicious. Didn? want to be rude so we ordered what was the best chocolate fondant I have ever had-much better than Mr Ramsays. The summer berry jelly was also delicious. Job done we moved on.

My wife and I run a country B&B near Dartmouth. We regularly visit and monitor local restaurants, so that our guests are properly informed. Of the many guests staying here who have recently dined at the award winning New Angel in Dartmouth, those who have also dined at the Kings Arms have all confirmed that there is absolutely nothing to choose between the top quality of both restaurants, although the Kings Arms is considerably less expensive.

The decor and layout is classically contemporary and extremely stylish. The sumptuous sofas, comfortable chairs and open plan well laid out design create a very relaxing and welcoming ambience. It's easy to spend all evening there, which we did! A good wine list focusing on middle range to excellent quality wines at a fair price, along with a decent selection of other drinks to suit all tastes. We chose a fixed selection of tapas from the main menu and a couple of specials from the board. The food was superb! The highlights included such delights as smoked tomatoes, home roasted nuts, delicious chorizo, horseradish leaves in the sales and wild garlic pesto. The presentation of the food, the combination of flavours and imaginative use of ingredients was brilliant. If you love food, Browns is a must visit destination! Finally, mention must be made of the excellent service. Very personable and friendly hosts made us feel like valued guests rather than customers. Having visited 100's of restaurants over the last few years, Browns is one of those rare and special finds that I will definitely be going back to soon.
