Take a seat in their shabby chic garden and order the fresh seafood platter. The mackerel pate is up there with the best I've had and the lobster, crab and anchovies were pretty good too.

Traveled far to come to this place, as I had read about it in a travel book. After a long drive to…read morePadstow, I was so disappointed. I don't care who your chef is, your service is awful. We waited until the exact time of our reservation, although we were quite early, and still couldn't get service. Had to send drinks back twice because it was made wrong (how do you ruin a vodka and soda?). Food was fine, but I've had better fish and chips from roadside shops. There is a great selection of other restaurants nearby. Save your time on stopping here.

But it also has a few picnic tables our front where you can sit and eat some of the local seafood fare. I went for a sensible prawn cocktail, which was delicious. Served with some fresh crispy salad and some brown bread, it rocked. My partner went for the cold platter, which in hindsight was really a sharing platter, because it was huge! He loved it, but I had to help him eat it, as we didn't want to leave any of it behind. I had a few mussels the first time in my life and they tasted great. I've not had any mussels since, for fear they wont be near as nice. If I am ever back in the area I am going to make sure we get back to Britannia Shell Fish for some yummy seafood. The guy serving us was a nice rocker dude, who chatted to my partner about the rock tee shirt he was wearing. Turned out, he had been to same rock festival that year. Oh almost forgot, their coffee was pretty good too.

The ambience is lovely, quaint and warm. Fresh fish of the day can be seen in the front window, skilled chefs are working away and a couple of water tanks for the live seafood are visible from the dining room. I had a crab soup which was surprisingly delicious, similar to a lobster bisque. Fresh bread started us off, warm from the oven and soft inside. I chose a special of the day, the fish was tender and flavourful, melting off the bone and infused with lemon and capers. My partners dish of hake with risotto was absolutely delicious, something I'd order if I were to go back. All In all a lovely dining experience in a scenic location. Make sure you book to avoid disappointment!

If you like simple good food that is beautifully cooked you will love No 15…read more The difficult part is making the choice from the fish dishes of the day, the meat dishes, or vegetarian dishes. 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

My mum is also allergic to crustaceans but there were other options for her to eat, such as chicken breasts, steak and cod. The service was prompt but it didn't feel rushed and the waitresses were all lovely and knew the food well. The food was absolutely fantastic! I had the mussels to start (photo attached) and the half split lobster as my main. Both were fresh and the sauce was delicious. My experience was fabulous and I will 100% return the next time we are in Polzeath.

Besides some fast food options they serve really well made seafood. We had the shrimp (with cheese fries) and a pot of mussels. Both cooked to perfection, fresh and nicely spiced (and not over-spiced). Staff was friendly, food arrived fast - despite the place being packed. Our English Bulldog was welcome in the outside area. Great food, fair prices. Fantastic location. What else you need. A really good place to grab a bit, a beer - before or after visiting the beach.

We had been to Life's a Beach two summers previous. I had Halibut for the first time and I like it,…read morebut that was about as much as I could remember. This time round we were placed a table at the centre of the dining room and I had a fine view of the kitchen and the staff, as they dedicatedly went about their business. My partner had a view of the bay out front. For starters I went for the Beef Carpaccio with Watercress, White Truffle Oil & Reggiano Parmesan and my partner the Seared Fowey Scallops with Crispy Belly Pork, Celeriac Puree & Caper Sauce. The Carpaccio was very tasty and I got plenty of it. I cleared my plate of it all and its accompaniments. My partners enjoyed his Scallops with Pork Belly. For the mains I opted for the Risotto of Summer with Parmesan Crisps and my partner the L.A.B. Tiger Prawn & Spiced Monkfish Curry. I loved the risotto, it was full of crunchy green vegetables and the risotto was a lovely creamy consistency. I would recommend it. My partner really enjoyed his curry and thought it was top notch for a restaurant that wasn't a curry house. We ordered the San Antonio Pinot Grigio, which was a grand wine to go with our meal. It was £12.50 For dessert we both ordered the Chocolate Fondant. It came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate ganache truffle. The fondant was fine, nothing to write home about and we both have had much better. The ice cream went with it perfectly though. However the ganache was too much with the fondant. It was just too much chocolate and cocoa for one dessert. The staff amused me. They appeared to be all young hip surfer types working for the summer in the ideal location for their outdoor pursuits. Our waitress was very charming and helpful, as all the staff appeared to be. It was a pleasant night and we will be back, if we are in the area again.
