Excellent all round. Crab croquette was superb and the lobster delicious. Even got a birthday treat for the wife thrown in at the end. Would definitely go back again.

We had a fantastic breakfast at Tom's, the food was high quality and the banana waffles were to die for. I couldn't eat a whole one had to share with my sister. It was so relaxing looking out to sea and watching all the passersby. I would certainly recommend this place. Tom and his staff are very welcoming.

The service was outstanding! I was served by each member of staff, namely Ella, Ellis, Cerys, and Ollie, and they were all lovely! Ollie made some great recommendations about the oysters, and Ellie helped me out with some very specific orders. Overall I'm extremely happy with my experience and would definitely recommend for seafood!

Waited 40 minutes for our coffee. The sea view is amazing, but the service is terrible!

Booked a table for 3 people to have the Early Bird menu for 6pm on 23/7/25. Called them at 5.16pm on the day to say we would be slightly late due to traffic in Exeter, the person we spoke to said that she would keep the booking for us so thought nothing of it, quite difficult to speak on hands free while driving. Got to the restaurant just after 6.15 and sat on a table outside which is fine by us. A lady brought us the menus to look at and we didn't think anything of it, as everything had prices but that's usually quite normal even for specials menus. Ordered drinks, starters and mains. Scallops were small and slightly under-cooked but others were OK. My wife had the 1/2 lobster, this came with salad, celeriac and chips. Too much salad and celeriac and not a lot of meat in the lobster, although she said it was nice, I had the Seabass, which was ok too.
We didnt have puddings as nothing special on there. Now nobody came to check on the meal, was dealt with by 3 different people and then the bill arrived...... Wow, £154, we asked about this because of us booking the earlybird and was informed that we had ordered from the main menu and we should've asked for the earlybird menu when we arrived. Well, I'm sorry but if you book for a certain menu and arrive, albeit a bit late, of which they were informed about and said they'd keep that booking open for us as there was nobody after us, I wouldn't have though I'd have to ask for it. We have come away very upset at how we were dealt with, no apology or discount given as a gesture of goodwill, made to feel like a piece of rubbish in front of other customers. We were told our food choices wouldn't have been on the specials menu so it's basically tough. Well as there wasn't an Earlybird menu posted outside the place, how would anyone know the difference. I'm sorry but we won't be coming to your restaurant again due to the service we received and the fact that the food wasn't even to the quality that you would expect from a so called fish specialist, we came from looking at reviews and the menu when visiting a few days earlier. It seems other reviews show disappointment too, and leaving replies to some reviews like you have, doesn't exactly show good customer relation skills.

We just stopped by for a drink and some appetiser. The selection of local beers along with some interesting non-alcoholic options was much appreciated. On top of that, the view was amazing and the service was quick

Visited Tom's for my birthday lunch and it was brilliant. The oysters were amazing, the main of breaded fish and chips was lovly and they gave me a little extra as it was my birthday, greatly appreciated.

Lobster not cooked enough. Had 4 different waiters, no one told us there was a happy hour, didn?t realise until we got the bill, and the oyster were half price! if we?d know we would have had more cocktails and even a snack before our dinner?the sea bass was great. The lobster we had to send back to be cooked a bit more, the celeriac salad didn?t go white it and luckily had the sauce on the side because, it was far too strong to go with the delicate taste of a lobster.
3 lots of people tried to come in while we were there and got told it was fully booked while the table remained empty in the 1 1/2 we were there? no one checked if all was alright with our food after it was served and even after we had it cooked again. We will not be going back, if you call yourself a fish restaurant and can?t cook a lobster it?s not going to get any better. Our anniversary meal was spoilt.

We had a nice experience here. The views are amazing on the seafront. The Oysters were fresh and delicious. I had surf and turf. I wish I had spoken up at the time about the half lobster that had little meat in it. For some reason filled with a mild curry sauce? I presumed to obscure the lack of actual lobster. What meat there was was mealy and unpleasant. The rest of the meal, wine, and desert and swrvice were very goid however.

The scallops are not hand dived and the chips are bought in frozen chips NOT triple cooked as the menu says. Menus should be honest

Toms is situated right on the beach, and we stopped in for a beer and a glass of wine - then gave in to a crab croquette. Oh wow, best decision! The seafood was so fresh and full of flavour.
The staff were lovely too - great service, and they even brought us blankets when it got a bit chilly. I?d love to go back for the full seafood platter next time!
