After many years, I finally got to eat at this lovely restaurant. Highly recommend it for a special occasion, rather formal, quiet and tiny, but fantastic food. Petit fours served with the bill, a really nice touch. Would definitely return.

Quite simply the best meal both of us have ever had in our lives ..... no exaggeration either!! My husband took me here for my 40th birthday last night and we are still raving about our meal! Words fail to be honest - can't recommend it highly enough.

Went here to thank tomcat for years of support. Why have we never been before? It is delightful. Very attentive staff but a relaxed atmosphere. I love eating food in season and the asparagus starter with a mousse and lightly battered spears was divine. However, even this was put in the shade by tomcat's crab bisque. Not normally a fan...

We went to this very intimate restaurant during a recent trip to Torquay, which was recommended by our hotel staff. The food was quite possibly the most delicious I have ever tasted. The steak was cooked to perfection and served with beautiful vegetables and a delicious brandy and peppercorn sauce. My partner had the lamb which was beautifully cooked and... More

An excellent meal with good service. The starters were very good with the Crab bisque especially good. I had the sirloin steak with blue cheese sauce and although pricey at £22 was not dissapointed. House merlot was dreadfull.

Poor service, poor vegetables and poor value for money let this restaurant down. We had had the Orange Tree recommended to us so went along with high expectations. The courses themselves were good quality albeit tending to nouveau cuisine portion sizes. The vegetables with the main course were an absolute disgrace,two teaspoons of cabbage half a dozen bits of over... More

We went here as a 'second' fiftieth birthday for our mum this evening, and what a treat it was. The food was truly exceptional -- there are some very talented chefs in that kitchen. The service was efficient, and the manageress was a delight. A fantastic experience for everybody that I would highly recommend.
