We booked a table for 8 o'clock, and was seated by the window. The restaurant has an intimate and tranquil atmosphere, highlighted by the soothing music in the background. This is not a very formal restaurant, seeing that people were not formally dressed, but I would call it sort of dressy. I wouldn't come here in flip-flops and shorts. The food is absolutely fantastic. My partner found the seafood soup to be one of the best he ever tasted, and I had my "religious" moment during dessert: a brownie with salted caramel ice cream. All in all: good food and good value for money. Though rather expensive, not as expensive as expected. Would recommend this place to everyone who likes good food and a nice atmosphere to go with it.

Went here for a nice dinner the other week and was just blown away by the food. I'm from America,…read moreand over there we constantly joke about how bad British cooking is. This place proved me wrong! I've been gluten-free since March and have found the UK to be extremely friendly towards Celiacs/Coeliacs. The Orange Tree was no exception: the menu even indicated that many of its dishes were suitable for people with gluten allergies and intollerances. I told the waitress I couldn't have wheat, and she pointed out which menu items I could have and withheld croutons from my soup. My dining partner enjoyed the homemade rolls and breads, but I can't comment on them, alas. They smelled good! For an appetizer, I had the White Onion Soup with Devon Blue Gougères, which was delightfully creamy and rich. My dining partner had the Tian of Vine Tomatoes with Baby Artichokes, which arrived in a delightful tower of tasty. For the clearing course, we had the Tipsy Lemon Sorbet (with white port) and the Pink Grapefruit Sorbet. Both excellent. The main courses arrived to our delight: I had the Sweet corn Polenta with Aubergine Involtini (Grilled Sweet corn Polenta accompanied by Aubergine filled with Goats Cheese and sun-blushed Tomatoes, finished with a Red Pepper and Pine Kernel Dressing) since I'd been eating nothing but steak and chicken for the last few weeks and wanted a change of pace. I adore polenta and aubergine (eggplant for other Americans), but I'm not such a fan of goat cheese and raw red peppers. However, the goat cheese was more like brie than feta, and the peppers were cooked to perfection. The pine nuts were lovely, and the polenta was quite crisp. Said dining companion had the 'Orange Tree' Tournedos with Foie Gras ('South Devon' Fillet of Beef, pan-seared and oven roasted, topped with sautéed Foie Gras finished with a rich Madeira and Morel Mushroom Jus and White Truffle Oil). I tried a bit of the steak and the foie gras; both were rich and tender. Love at first bite. Dessert: I had the 'Orange Tree' Crème Brûlée, which was a traditional crème brûlée with vanilla bean and Grand Marnier. My dining companion, not continuing his trend of ordering dishes that started in "T" (though the Trio of 'Orange Tree' Desserts looked tasty) had the Summer Berry Pudding with Raspberries, Red Currants and Wild Strawberries accompanied by Clotted Cream and Honeycomb. Oh, how I adore you, clotted cream. The service was a little slow, but the restaurant's elegant atmosphere and the five or six other tables of rather happy older couples made it a great experience. Perhaps they should switch from elevator music to Sinatra, but all in all, it was a lovely meal and evening at the Orange Tree.

First off, let me say this: we found that the service in itself was wonderful. That's the only thing that keeps this experience from being absolute terrible. Abigail, I would presume, was a nice lady with a bright smile. She took great care of us, and we were truly looking forward to our pizzas. However, the pizzas were just terrible. I didn't think it was possible for someone to make pizzas this bad, but they were. My pizza weren't properly cooked, the pizza base were simply raw and undercooked. Even so, my partner, even though his pizza weren't undercooked, found the taste, like me, not to be desired. It's simply hard to describe the taste, it was the most funny-tasting, and not in a good way, pizzas we've ever tasted. Actually, it was an excruciating experience seeing that we didn't have the heart to tell Abigail. How do you tell someone who's such a nice person that the food they're serving is that bad? We certainly couldn't. I will, however, say this: I think that the stuff they had on display looked really nice, and I do think, from reading other reviews, that they do in fact serve pretty decent food. However, they should stick to that, and not make pizzas.
