Twenty1

We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere in Torquay and decided to dine at Twenty1 for both dinner and drinks. Connor, who served us, was exceptionally friendly and provided us with fantastic suggestions for local activities. The food was outstanding, and the cocktails were among the finest we've ever had. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience, giving it a perfect 5 star rating.

I think this will be the most glowing review I've ever made because the place itself is FLAWLESS! It had everything you could possibly want from an eatery; great views, good food, attentive staff and a stunning place all round. I shall start from the beginning - the website. Super easy to navigate, very informative, on trend, clean looking and uncluttered. I particularly liked the comments section where you could write whatever you thought would be useful for the staff at Twenty1 (and they do actually read the comments written! I had requested a table that wasn't in too much of a busy area due to small children accompanying me on this evening). The restaurant went above and beyond by sitting us upstairs, which I highly recommend sitting here as you have the views but also closest access to the toilets which are a corridor away. Again, fantastic start to our meal! Next are the staff, we had the pleasure of being served this night by a lovely waitress who wore her hair in a plait and was so welcoming and complimentary. Nothing was too much trouble, she gave great recommendations for us to accompany the meals we ordered, great with our children and not too overbearing because after all, who wants to eat somewhere with someone constantly hovering? She nailed her job on this evening. Thirdly the food, I've never been as blessed as I was on this occasion to see so many tantalizing dishes within my reach. There were so many choices and each looked as appetizing as the last. Our food was served promptly but still fresh and full of flavour. My compliments to the chef, I definitely did not regret what I ordered, only that I couldn't go back for more after. The only slight disappointment was in the dessert, I ordered a brownie and it just was not up to standard compared to the freshly made cheesecake or the moist sliders that I had sampled prior to tucking into my own dessert. Such a shame! But none the less it doesn't take away from the stunning starters and delectable mains we had already eaten. And just to add, the cocktails are amazing also! Such a variation, I had only sampled the berry-colada which tasted like heaven. A little alcoholic/berry/milkshake/frothy mixture served in a Tiki glass and it was good to the very last drop. Lastly the establishment itself, located right at the front of the docks and tucked away between a multitude of competition lies Twenty1. The family friendly restaurant with a private cocktail bar on the top floor, ocean/dock views complete with the site of Torquay's large Ferris wheel which is breathtaking to see at night, this is surely a one of a kind place to be. With it's rustic fusion on trend interior, heading up the stairs to the first floor you will see glass panels on the floor that are lit by barrels and fairy lights. Heading up the stairs you'll see puns of famously written songs decorating the base to this floor, complete with a balcony to which you can take in all this beautiful city has to offer (and the doors to the balcony do close so you won't need to worry on colder days of getting chilly). Opposite the dining area on this level are the 3 toilets which are unisex and extremely clean when you take into consideration how many people must use them simultaneously. And then next to them you have the kitchen door, where the magic happens! Unfortunately I didn't get to experience the top floor so I am unable to comment but I'm sure that was just as spectacular as the rest of the venue. So if you're in Torquay, I can't recommend Twenty1 enough, go ahead and treat yourself, your date, your family, whomever! Because you won't regret it!

Great views. Great live music. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. The only bad things are the loos. There's only 2 upstairs and they were unisex. As the night went on it was getting dirty snd they were not being cleaned. This is the only down point other wise I would have given 5 stars.

We were so lucky to spend the evening before our wedding with all of our friends and family at Twenty1! It was the perfect venue for a relaxed Eve with guests arriving at different times so we could keep it semi casual.The food was superb and went down a storm. We were able to hire our own section for the immediate wedding party, with our other guests booking tables to eat in the surrounding sections and then join us for drinks after we had eaten. The atmosphere was really buzzy and everyone had a ball! The venue is in a stunning location near convenient and parking. The stuff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough to make sure the evening went well - even bagging up the left over cheesecake which was stunning! Thanks Twenty1 crew- we will be back!
