We were very lucky to get the last walk-in table without a booking. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. This is one of the best seafood restaurants I've been to. Can't wait to go back again. Thanks Neil!

So happy we have found that place! Absolutely delicious food! It's all so fresh and cooked to perfection. The owners and team are lovely. Our meal was a true highlight of our few days stay in Sidmouth. We are thinking we might come back just to this restaurant again. It will absolutely worth two hours drive. Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful food and atmosphere at Neil's Restaurant in Sidmouth this evening! The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive. Food arrived within great time and was fresh and tasted beautiful. This was my first visit, but will definitely make the effort to go again. Perfect evening in every way!
I booked to go here 6 months ago ready for when we visited on our holiday. It was worth the wait. The staff were friendly and the food delicious. Although the menu was not big compared to other restaurants, the dishes were still varied enough. We went for the £35 there course menu was ideal and the wine was tasty. We loved the pâté and found the size of the dishes just the right amount. A great evening out and will recommend to friends and beyond!
Well that was amazing. So glad I booked well in advance, which is what you need to do. Yes, it's a limited menu but sometimes that is advantageous. I couldn't fault anything that I had the pleasure of consuming. Service top notch. I have no idea how Neil manages all those covers per day on his own. Highly recommended. If I know I shall be this way again I will be booking in for certain.
What a place. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the food was perfect. If you come to Sidmouth this is a must. Make sure you book early as Neil's is popular. FANTASTIC
Lovely little place at the top of town.
Amazing fish dishes cooked to perfection.
Will definitely go again next time I am back in Sidmouth.
Lovely small intimate restaurant, set menu great quality food lovely service nice in this day and age where everything is ordered via an app! Highly recommend but I would book
Better than expected from several recommendations, stunningly good sea food, excellent service. It was a brilliant meal for the last night of our holiday. Thank you
Thoroughly enjoyed my meal at Neil's, lovely place with outstanding service, from walking in to leaving they do take care of you with smiles on their faces. The food is nothing short of amazing. I'm not mad on fish and had it twice and I'll definitely go back for more.!!!
Had an excellent meal this evening. It has maintained it's standards since our last visit in 2017. Congratulations to Neil and his staff.
A visit to Sidmouth is not complete if you do not dine at Neil's Restraunt. The quality of the seafood served, the friendlness of the staff and ambience I would describe as second to none,
Busiest restaurant in Sidmouth and for good reason. The food never disappoints, but make sure you book a table.

Arrived at Neil's on a cold, wet Saturday night, our first visit to the restaurant & to Sidmouth. The restaurant was busy & continued to fill up during the 2 hours we were there. The decor is calm & comfortable.
We were warmly greeted & seated , our wet coats taken away & we were given menus. A bottle of tap water was already waiting in an ice bucket at the table. So a very good start.
The menu is a set 3 courses for £39.95 & as you'd expect from a fish restaurant, reflects local produce. We were asked what we'd like to drink & chose a well priced bottle of South African chenin blanc. This arrived swiftly & after tasting, proved to be ideal with our meal.
I could have chosen any of the starters to enjoy, but went with tempura crevettes with soy & sesame dip. My husband had smoked mackerel with horseradish cream. A plate of sliced bread arrived, which was plain home baked white & tomato flavoured. I would have preferred not to have butter pats wrapped in foil, but I'm picky! The starters were delicious & enjoyed by us both.
0ur mains consisted of scallops with mushrooms & bacon for my husband & pan roasted John Dory with mussels & samphire for me. A dish of sugar snap peas, carrots, broccoli & green beans & another of fried potatoes were brought to the table, to accompany our main courses. The mains were beautifully cooked & presented, especially my John Dory, which came away from the bone, with ease & tasted beautifully succulent. My husband's scallops were sweet & flavoursome too.
Having cleared away our plates, & looked again at the menu, we chose our desserts, vanilla panacotta with rhubarb d ginger compote for me & rum & raisin icecream for him. My panacotta was beautifully set & the compote had a strong kick of ginger. Good strong double espresso coffee followed.
Overall a fabulous meal, which without service was £107 for the two of us. Not expensive for the quality & service we received. We would definitely recommend Neil's, he is obviously a chef with skill who loves what he does!
Great food. Good service.
Discovered too late to be able to schedule another meal out there just to get a full portion of the Christmas special bread pudding desert!
Never mind, the excellent fish starters, will no doubt not disappoint.
Absolutely outstanding, some of the best food I have ever had in my life and most certainly the best sea food I have ever had. 100% recommend eating here
The best meal I have ever eaten
Staff felt like family
Made our special evening even special.
For a set 3 course meal. Plenty to choose from.
