My husband had the Dover sole and unfortunately had to send his first one back as it was undercooked. His second plate took a good twenty minutes to arrive which was unfortunate but the staff were very apologetic. We ordered a sides of sauted potatoes, veg and chips with our meal and these were huge and we were unable to finish them. I thought the food was excellent value for money and despite the mishap with my husbands meal I would definitely visit this restaurant again.

Please forgive me it was new years eve and the beers do not help my memory of what it was. Chicken i think. The decor was like a upper class London restaurant, but with the added photos of the chiefs yachting trip. I did so wish that i had gone too on the trip. The service was great once a glass was empty it was refilled. Plates cleared away as soon as it was done with.

You don't have to decide what to have with your meat or fish - everyone gets the same and both times we visited this was sauteed potatoes and a selection of fresh vegetables cooked to perfection. I had the medallions of monk fish with king prawns on this occasion, and I enjoyed my first taste of monk fish. It arrived with a halved lime, drizzled with oil and balsamic vinegar and bursting with flavour, I detected rosemary at least. Other half had Steak Tornados and really enjoyed it. He was tempted by the rack of lamb but thought it might be a bit too much to manage. We couldn't manage dessert though I was tempted by the creme brulee and didn't have starters though the home made soup of the day sounded delicious. This loft restaurant is small and laid out simply with wipe clean tablecloths, and the best tables are those by the window so you can watch the harbour. As you walk up the stairs to the restaurant you pass the open door of the kitchen where you can see the cooking going on. The kitchen looks spotless.

NO. 15 Restaurant- Best in Brixham We called in here because it was recommended by the couple who…read morewe rented our holiday home from and we weren't disappointed. The menu and specials board had loads of dishes that I would have liked to try so that was our first dilemma. I eventually chose the crab salad and my friend had a lovely fish dish that looked and tasted fabulous. I couldn't eat all my crab as there was too much for me but both the crab and the salad were delicious. We chose a locally produced wine to go with our meal and had dessert and coffee each for under £60 which we thought was a bargain. We would have loved to have visited again but as it was a very quiet time of year they didn't open every night, however the lovely lady and her husband who own the place said they would open for us if we gave them a call but we didn't feel that we could impose on their generosity but we'd love to go back if ever we are in the area again

Wonderful Fish - so fresh…read more After strolling around lovely Brixham we felt a good bit hungry. This restaurants sits right at the harbour and offers fantastic views (given that you get a seat outside on top). The menu has lots of fish and seafood options. Of course Fish'n'Chips too. But we went for some char-grilled / grilled fish, since it all looked so good and fresh on the other tables. We went for two locally caught fish on that day....sadly I forgot which ones. But tell you what: Tasted amazing....so fresh! They grill them quite simple....not much spice and perfectly on point, so you really taste the freshness of the fish. A great great lunch. Freshness is the key....but you don't want your fish overcooked and overspiced. And they really know what they do here. On the side: Of course some Cider and Beer.....oh, and some fries. We were also happy that this place is pet friendly (at least outside - not sure inside) and our doggy got some good rest with us. Service was quick and friendly.

Honestly? It is one of the best things we have ever tasted. Seriously. Order it when you go. We got the side vegetable also amazing, topped off by the suggestion from Martyn !!! Trust. Do it. according to my dining partner, the lobster was the best he'd ever had as well and for the price you can not go wrong.... Simply incredible. Texture, flavor... Wow. We ordered a side of onion rings as well. perfection. So much deliciousness. Lastly, the chocolate fondant . Literally tears came to my eyes at the first bite. Between the perfectly cooked and gooey chocolate sauce, the sauce that tied it all together... It was the best overload. I will dream of this dish. The care and passion of the chef, staff and owners comes through in the vibe, the decor, the interactions between servers/staff, and most importantly... The Good Food. Highly recommend.

This following review is a fair and unbiased review from ordinary customers who visited the Rio…read morelooking for decent chips and service, we are not in anyway affiliated with Steve or Bridget. We went to Brixham after seeing the wonderful TV show Fishtown on Sky Atlantic, we fell in love with the whole town after watching the series, and during the course of the show we loved the way that Steve and Bridget interacted in their chip shop business. We were very lucky to find them there busily working serving customers. We ordered our food which was cooked to order, which I find is a good sign (reheated food is naff!) when we received it the quality of chips was second to none, we tried the others and can safely say these chips are the best in Brixham. They are very good value too, there are a great many different food establishments in Brixham which are all good in their own way, but when you way up cost and quality this friendly little chippy is Brixhams number 1. Getting back to Steve and Bridget, what a wonderful couple. They came across in the show as very loving and caring for each other, Steve really does love Bridget and this is as true in real life as it was on tv. We started to chat to them and they both came round to us and engaged in genuine friendly conversation, what a wonderful way to run a business. I noticed on qype that there are a couple of negative reviews that seemed almost personal, so during one night in a local pub I questioned a friendly local about the reviews (our conversation was very broad and took in the virtues/problems with qype, Trip Advisor and Expedia) and it turns out that some of the negatives were due in essence to a former disgruntled employee!!!! Steve and Bridget are not aware of my posting this review, but after the food,service and friendliness of the whole Rio experience, I feel compelled to fly the flag for them due to the fact that they are doing such a great job. Well done you guys, we think you are a wonderful couple, and hope your love lasts forever.
