Great pub food, good choices well presented and cooked. Can recommend the fish & chips with mushy peas. Waitress staff was excellent, bar staff not quite so on-the-ball. Ice cream parlour on the front and outside seating if the weather is nice. Had a good evening out here.

We arrived during a power cut early in the day. The hostess couldnât have been more accommodating explaining what was available ( most of the menu) . Such delicious food and a rare find that is fine dining that will accept canine companions. Highly recommended, loved it !We are delighted that you enjoyed your somewhat disrupted service with the power cut, we can still manage to cook a meal the old fashioned way!! Doggies are very welcome in one of our two dining areas and to be honest to date we have never had a bad dog visit, well-behaved owners are most welcome too!!!

Weather permitting, you could just about imagine yourself in the south of France when visiting the Riviera: the name, the white building, the palm trees, the white tables and chairs in the courtyard, and in the restaurant, an attractive dinner plate at each setting only removed after the amuse bouche. The two of us, both octogenarians, had an excellent dinner on a wet Tuesday evening in early April. The amuse bouche was followed by duck & blueberry terrine and lobster & crab mouse. Then it was rack of lamb and paupiette of lemon sole with the relevant accompaniments. All wonderful. Coffee and mint tea came with a small plate of delightful petits fours.Service was discreet, professional and unhurried, and the background piano music and subdued lighting both added to the relaxed atmosphere.

Today was special. It was our wedding anniversary.We came down to Sidmouth to avoid the congestion of our local area currently hosting an air show.When in Sidmouth, we usually eat out at âThe Shipâ.Tonight the Ship was full and unable to accommodate any further bookings.Thank goodness for that because we strolled around the corner in search of an alternative venue. We noticed The Blues Wine Bar and from the menu we thought âLets give it a go!âFirstly the ambience was just right. The seating is traditional 2 or 4 tables, with a suite of leather upholstered chairs and sofa for patrons partaking of a wine and a gossip.Each table was lit by proper candles..(not tea lights!)Anyone who has read any of my previous reviews will be aware of my pet hate...(piped muzak). Well I have to say the owners of this venue have it just right. There is music but it is pleasant and âbackgroundâ low enough to hear but not intrusive and a lovely selection of easy listening jazz. We could therefore hold a conversation without having to shout! There were a few very friendly and pleasant locals in who slid made us welcome.This has to be one of the best decisions we have made in ages.We were made very welcome by a very attentive young lady who, whilst being attentive was not overbearing and knew the choice of pasta dishes that are available and gave sound advice on the consistency and taste of each dish.My wife had spaghetti Bolognese, whilst I had spaghetti carbonara.Now Iâm very fussy about my carbonara. I donât like it floating in a heavily creamy sauce!Wow! This dish certainly did not disappoint. I have to say it was without doubt the best spaghetti carbonara that ai have ever had! Oh and yes I did compliment the staff on this.I canât wait to come back to a Sidmouth and come back for a second visit. We might even come on a Sunday for a roast.Thank you and well done Blues Wine Bar for helping to make our special day.

My husband and I booked for the Thursday evening offer of steak for 2 with bottle of wine for £38. This was our first visit since the change of the restaurant to The Upper Deck Bar & Restaurant. We were very impressed - the attention to detail in the décor was fabulous, with high end fitting and fixtures -just like being on a beautiful liner. The views must be the best in Sidmouth! The staff were all very attentive, friendly and courteous. We were offered a choice of Peppercorn, Béarnaise or Bone Marrow sauce/gravy. Very tasty! The meal was perfect as was the wine. When we arrived at 7pm the restaurant was 1/3 full, by the time we left there wasn't a free table. The tables are close together but being so busy there was a real buzz about the restaurant. This sassy place to eat is just what Sidmouth needs. Thank you to the young, attentive waiter from Romania whose name I have forgotten but it began with a S. Apologies.Dear bedpanlil, Thank you for sharing your review following your meal in our restaurant. It is wonderful to read that your whole experience was so enjoyable and that there was a real atmosphere throughout the evening. I will be sure to share your praise with the team and pass your thanks to Sorin in the restaurant. Kind Regards,Lucy LovellGuest Experience Director
