The food was amazing and could not fault. The service needed some work. But don't let that put you off, the food was lovely and would recommend

This small family run restaurant was an unexpected surprise! We come down to Torquay/ Paignton every year and love finding gems like these! By far the best crab I have ever had and at such a reasonable price! Perfectly cooked! Fresh and clean! (Being a chef for 15 years) I've eaten & cooked alot of crab and honestly this beats 5 star hotels for fresh seafood! Will definitely be returning 🦀🦐🐟🌊

We had a brief couple of drinks here. Will go back again, but COVID 19 rules may make it difficult for this business as it is a small local bistro bar.

After having the curious crsb recommended to us twice in two days, we decided to eat here for dinner. I'm so glad we did, delicious food and amazing friendly service. We will be visiting again before our holiday is over.

A really special find. Lovely atmosphere and the crab was huge and tasty. The lads serving were absolute gems, very funny, warm and entertaining. We had a great evening and our only regret is that we won't get to go again as we're off home tomorrow.
