This is a unique restaurant overlooking the lido and Torbay. Perfect people watching. The fish is delicious and inventive, the staff are efficient and good fun. It's a gem. Our favourite in South Devon.

Excellent food, but a little let down by the unenthusiastic server who sadly didn't really go out of her way to 'serve' when the restaurant was quiet (only us and another table).

We had a lovely lunch. The food was delicious as usual. The staff were very friendly and attentive. It was very quiet as there was only one other table being used, we still had a good time and enjoyed the food.

The food here was outstanding. We couldn't fault it, nor the wine selection. Everything was cooked to perfection, with generous portions too. Will definitely go back again.

Decided to have a midweek treat of lunch at the marvellous Shoals, went for the set menu starter and main for £30, excellent value. Food was exceptional as always and the service impeccable, very much recommended!

This was a second visit to Shoals in as many years. A great way to end a business planning retreat whilst staying in Brixham. This year's dinner was even more exceptional than our last visit. In early December, Brixham is quiet, which clearly affects footfall at Shoals, but they are not cutting back on quality or service. The dinner last night was absolutely exceptional. Both of us chose the scallops and monkfish. There are no words. I gave a thumbs up and a thank you to the chef, from my table, after just my first mouthful! Sadly, he was not there for me to thank face-to-face as we left. What a talent he is, and totally chilled out whilst cooking. Pure class! The young lady looking after us out front was also exceptional. Really friendly, welcoming, efficient and professional. Thank you to you both, what an asset to Shoals you both are. I am sorry that I don't have names to list here, I was in food heaven so forgot to ask 😹 I will be returning with my wife for sure ( she will love it ) for a personal break, and all being well again next December for more business, and Shoals. Keep up the exceptional quality and ambience, Shoals. Elliott
