We ate here one evening while having a week in Paignton, having discovered the attached pub (see separate review). Had a pretty good selection of tapas-style dishes (6 plus olives between us). Mostly Good but wedges with warm salsa over the top is not a proper patatas bravas! Otherwise decent enough and sensible prices. Friendly staff but service slightly slow; it was busy. As long as you are not expecting full authentic Spanish tapas (to be fair I think they describe it as tapas-styles, i.e. lots of small dishes) then you could do far worse in Paignton.Hello Anton, Thank you for taking the time for your good review. Our Patatas bravas is diced potatoes deep fried until crisp and golden with our homemade salsa and tomato sauce poured over the top. We describe ourselves as a tapas style eatery, so we have a more Mediterranean feel to the restaurant.We are glad you enjoyed the rest of your visit. kind regards.

Having been told Christmas dinner was excellent we went today and found it rather disappointing. Turkey was sliced into one large lump, sprouts over-cooked and all very bland. Soup quite tasty but not hot and the bread roll under-cooked. Christmas pudding a heavy tasteless lump and mince pies inedible the pastry so thick and hard. The female staff were pleasant but the males were shuffling around looking most uncomfortable. Tables were presented nicely. Saving grace was that they are all youngsters learning a trade, can only get better and it was inexpensive. I might add I have been cooking mince pies for 50 years and they are still thick and hard!
