A busy Thursday evening, so a booking was an excellent idea. Staff were friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable striking just the right balance of familiarity and genuine support (none of the false American 'Have a nice day!) The ambience was excellent and, though busy, we were never overwhelmed or claustrophobic as there is an open and airy feel to the place. Service was swift without ever feeling rushed or under pressure. The menu is varied and provides plenty of choice for most people. Our starters and main courses (Sea Bass & Rib Eye Steak) were excellent and the desserts were high quality and a suitable finale. I was more than happy with the experience and wholeheartedly recommend Strada, particularly if you receive the same superior service that we experienced!

One of the best places i have been in a long while
Swans Nest Inn – ExeterI have been a regular visitor to Teignmouth and Shaldon since the late 1950s. This is a special restaurant, a one off. Shaldon is a peaceful quaint estuary village and ODE staff give a personal service with the Chef/owner visiting your table to check you are satisfied with the taste of your food. The waitress was immaculate and very polite in dealings. My wife is vegetarian, does not eat fish although eats free range eggs. She found the choice of food delightful. The skills of the chef with world wide experience is obvious in the presentation and taste of the food. An enjoyable evening !
ODE Restaurant – TeignmouthI have visited the White Heart three times for lunch. The set lunch is good value with good choice of wines. The guest is welcomed and the service throughout is warm and friendly. Anthony Maggs
White Hart Inn and Restaurant – Ivybridgeabsolutely the best Sunday carvery in the area the staff are friendly and efficient and the food was 2nd to none if i had one complaint it would be a lack of rose wine but having said this the white wine cellar is excellent

Morley Arms – PlymouthIn a nice location with a nice outside area, this is a lovely place to go with friends and family. Straightforward English pubgrub of a generous size and a nice friendly atmosphere
Lockyers Quay – PlymouthMy husband and I popped in on the off chance and really wanted to try the 'fish side', however they were fully booked for a birthday lunch. We therefore went to the 'pub side' and had the special lunch menu. Whilst the portions were 'small' they were adequate although I too found some of the dishes a little on the salty side, hence 'very good' rather than 'outstanding'. The home made bread was a definite plus and I would certainly return, just hold the salt a little!
Rose And Crown – PlymouthFor large parties and hen nights, this is a great place to go and suits all ages. Food is good and the staff although they are busy, are very good. Can get very busy around xmas time but with a dancefloor playing classics afterwards, it provides for a very entertaining evening!

Red Earth Deli – Kingsbridgefantastic food with service to match, very happy customers.
Waterside Bistro – Totnesbeen coming here for years . dan and matt are by far the best landlords in the history of the 11a quest for the independent vibe. one minute Hendrix then Dylan mixed in with some Dj Shadow and Nina simone then Leadbelly and stuff that makes you go to the bar and find out who is pulsing from the speakers !!! chilled out to the max upstairs on the 2nd floor too. The pizza's.... oh the Pizza's, i was recommended a classic 12" from a lady whilst in London !!! that's good word of mouth !!

Beer Engine Pub and Brewery – ExeterThis place has under gone a complete transformation and all credit has to go to Phil & Helen, the very friendly owners. The food is of excellent quality, locally sourced (hurrah!) and reasonably priced. The wine list offers really good value and I have to recommend the house wine - it's fantastic. The stunning views over the bay add to the friendly atmosphere - recommended!
Shoreline Bistro – PaigntonPub food at its best, worth a visit.
Williams Arms – BrauntonOutstanding is an understatement for this fantastic place. My wife treated me to a night out here for my birthday, and from the moment you step through the door you are made to feel welcome by the owner and her great staff, nothing and I mean nothing is too much trouble. The food is nothing short of superb, in portion, very large, and taste, well 7th heaven, do try the scallops and the lobster pure bliss. this is by far the best place we have eaten in for many a year and cannot wait to return in September. Highly recommend to all, but do book in advance. Many Thanks to all at The Poop Deck for a truly great evening, see you soon.
