EPHESUS RESTAURANT REVIEWS

We came on a Friday night after not booking but were thankfully able to get a table for 2. This restaurant came recommended and I am so glad we came. Food was flawless and staff were great with food coming in good time but not rushed. Would definitely come again if we lived here

Excellent experience in a beautifully decorated restaurant. The food was excellent and the mixed grill is highly recommended. The restaurant is often busy on a weekend so booking is advised. The service was very good and they seemed to coordinate everything very well with their headsets. This restaurant is definitely worth visiting when in the Torquay area.

The food was superb, seriously couldn’t fault it. The waitress was incredibly attentive. We asked for no mozzarella in the soup, unfortunately it came with it, however the waitress walking by noticed this and immediately took it away and had it replaced. The atmosphere was very friendly and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Would certainly recommend.

AMICI REVIEWS

We had dinner last night at Amici. Drinks and food orders were taken within 10 minutes of being seated. Drinks arrived promptly and food arrived not long after. There was one small error on the order which was dealt with promptly and with no difficulty. Overall, food was excellent, service excellent and atmosphere was really good. We will definitely go again and recommend wholeheartedly to others.

Beautiful restaurant, beautiful food. I had the Linguine Vegetariane, the flavours were absolutely amazing with a little kick. Lovely clean bright restaurant with attentive staff.

Very very good as always, we only come here a couple of times a year. However, never fails to disappoint food is excellent, staff were brilliant and attentive they also cater really well for gluten free.

THE ORANGE TREE RESTAURANT REVIEWS

We had a wonderful evening at The Orange Tree in Torquay. This lovely little traditional bistro is tucked away in a quiet spot, offering a peaceful and intimate setting for dinner. From the moment we arrived, the hosts were friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. We were drawn to the restaurant after spotting the Tournedos with Wild Mushroom and Shallots on the menu, and it absolutely lived up to expectations. It was cooked to perfection and packed full of rich, indulgent flavours. The overall experience was warm, welcoming, and delicious, everything you could want for a relaxing evening out. Thank you to the team at The Orange Tree for such a lovely night. Highly recommended.

Lovely ambience, soft music playing in the back ground. Staff were very polite. Wasn't rushed at all which was nice. Food was absolutely amazing , the flavours were out of this world. Will definitely be going back. Thank you so.much for making our evening with you memorable.

Fantastic food. Great service. A great little gem of a restaurant nestled within easy walking distance of the harbour. We went for our wedding anniversary and it was exceptional from start to finish. Thank you for a great night, great food and good wines.
