Such a special dining experience at the old bank. Welcoming, friendly staff (which is a rarity it seems nowadays) who were knowledgeable about the menu. Exquisite dishes with delicious flavours and beautiful presentation. They were cooked to perfection. Everything about this place is top tier. They think of everything to make your experience the best it can possibly be. I love the fact it is small and only has 6 tables! Perfect for an intimate experience. The lighting is great too, it really sets the mood when you walk in and makes you feel instantly relaxed. Thank you

Recently changed to small plates menu doesn't do steak. Sadly doesn't work despite the plates being tasty. They have a small plate fish board which comprises a small single fillet and a sauce which isn't a dish you would eat on its own as a plate. Your then looking for other things to have with it. Things arrived at different times hence all gets very confused.

Absolutely outstanding restaurant. We were not sure about eating here however, we are delighted we did. The food really is very good indeed and the service is also fantastic. There is also a great vibe / atmosphere. One of our all time favourites in the South West !

What a gem this place is right in the centre of Lynton! Stylish cosy interior, really attentive service and excellent food. A slightly different concept of food offer with small dish tapas style options as well as larger plates. Each of the dishes we had were delicious. They don't all come at once and you can just add more if you want. We will be back!

Wow. This place is a true gem. It was our first time in North Devon (we normally do South) and we were staying in the Blue Ball Inn just outside of Lynton. It was our last night and we wanted to go out with a bit of a bang and we did!
This place was a real find. Lovely calm atmosphere with I think 8 tables total? Which leads to quite a personalized feel whilst dining there. The concept is small plates, I LOVE this idea as I never know what to have and normally find multiple choices on a menu (this way I could try them all). Although described as 'small plates' they were extremely generous size a total of 6 plates was more than enough for me and my partner. The food itself was gorgeous. Different, but not pretentious.
The service was excellent, if was like going to a friend's for dinner. At one point we had ran out of jug water and before the last drop had left the jug into our glasses, a lovely young lady was there to give us a new, full jug. You just don't get get that level of service anymore and it shows how attentive the staff really are.
The value shocked us both. Me and my partner always play the guessing game after a meal out and I guessed it would be around the £100. That's how we rated the food. It came to just over half of that. Although we don't drink so this may have helped a little. But seriously such good value for money for the quality you are getting all round.
Another great quality is Although the feel and look of the place is more up market I did t feel out of place in leggings and a hoodie. I had packed light for our get away and I felt at first that we may get turned away or have some noses turned up at what we were wearing, but not at all!
This place really is worth a visit. It's such a shame we are not locals. But I can say for certain we will be back!!

Beautiful food and service, the choices of drinks were excellent and our server gave great wine recommendations for our meals. My mum and I thoroughly enjoyed the roast chicken which was extremely juicy, the corn ribs were very flavourful. The crab arancini was excellent, we also had the beef shin doughnut which just melted on the tongue. The lamb three ways had a wonderful combination of flavours and the steak was perfectly cooked. The desserts were also wonderfully rich and creamy. Highly recommend this restaurant
