Beamers Restaurant in Torbay

The restaurant is lovely and the staff are attentive and polite. Lovely views overlooking the harbour. The menu has a great choice of food and drinks. We booked for a romantic dining evening as the restaurant is known and recommend for being special and serving lovely fish dishes. We were excited to go, the food was lovely, however they served the appetisers with the starter and allowed only 5mins on finishing the appetiser and starter before bringing the main dish. We arrived at 19:30 and had eaten by 20:10. To which at 20:15 we were asked if we wanted dessert. This was really disappointing as it felt like we were in a fast food place and this ruined the meal and the experience. For the amount you pay and the effort and the quality of the food, there needs to be better time management. Unfortunately this has put us off returning.

This restaurant is a gem, located with an amazing harbour view. The service was amazing and the food exquisite. A very good menu and the food was cooked to perfection. The ambience is relaxing and comfortable, exceptionally clean. Attention to detail was second to none. Could not rate this restaurant highly enough- thank you for a lovely evening.

We have just had a meal at the restaurant. The menu is very misleading. There was a small notice at the top of the stairs as you walked in saying Dover Sole £34. I did not see this. I was given a menu when we sat down which said “Catch of the day £24. Dover Sole, Hake. I thought as I was given the menu which says £24 that was what I would pay. Unfortunately that was not the case. The bill arrived with a £34 Sole on it. When this was questioned with the waitress I was told that the Dover Sole was not a catch of the day so was £34. I meal was nice but not worth the money. I would not have order Dover Sole @£34. The manager needs to add the special price for fish into his main menu.

A mid week visit, this is a stunning Restaurant with lovely views from the window table, whilst eating excellent food. A very wide choice of menu and excellent wines. Very attentive and friendly Staff. Prices are very good. This was our first visit but we will definitely visit again.

Excellent service, wine and food. Will definitely go again. Highly recommend! Went on a Tuesday evening. Lovely decor. Food snd service second to none.

We ate on Friday evening set price before 8 pm lovely big fat juicy mussels and catch of the day. We were 2 couples the one who didn’t have fish had a very nice steak meal no room for pudding. Ate here last year it’s as good this year. Will return,

My wife and I visited Beamers on Friday 8th March with four friends to try out their new fixed price menu. We did not really know what to expect but the starters and mains we selected were all really nice. The three men all had rump steaks which were delicious and perfectly cooked. The ladies all selected fish dishes that were equally good and a great time was had by us all. We will certainly be back again soon :))

The restaurant has changed hands since we were last here over a year ago and, out of season, we were the only diners, so the buzzy ambiance of our first visit was lacking. We noted more meat dishes on the menu, but were happy to stick with the fish that we'd come for. The new owner did his best to make us welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed our wine and food from a good choice which was well cooked and presented. We hope Beamers manages to pick up the clientele it deserves as the season develops.

A visit with family. Amazing food, superb service and lovely atmosphere. Delicious food and wine. We’ll be back for sure. Received a recommendation from a friend who dined on Valentines Day. Best meal out I’ve had in years!

From the moment we arrived at Beamers it was everything we hoped it would be. This is a restaurant that exemplifies service and quality in its food. An extensive menu including many dishes not generally offered elsewhere and each of the three courses we enjoyed cooked to perfection. Wonderful service and we felt like valued guests from the moment we arrived until we departed. A final bonus is the envied position with many tables overlooking the quay. Highly recommended.

Went here with friends and were surprised to be the only customers! This restaurant should be better supported by its local community. All four of us had different dishes, steak, monk fish, hake and a trio of fish and all of the food we had was superb, not just good but superb! We will definitely be going back!

Lovely restaurant with perfect view, friendly and attentive team that run it and delicious food. I enjoyed the lobster and the mussels were the best I've ever had. Will definitely return when next in the area.

We went with four friends to celebrate my 60th birthday, our table was decorated with happy birthday banners, which was a really lovely touch, the food was amazing as usual, 2 of our friends had never eaten there before and were really impressed with the food and service.. The young lady who waited on us was so lovely and contrary to other comments, was very attentive. We live in Brixham and will continue to bring our visitors back to Beamers

We came with high expectations; they were disappointed. The food was of average quality, but nothing special; the fish croquette starter was served with ‘mayonnaise’ which had obviously come out of a tube, and the trio of fish main course would have been better grilled than pan-fried. The wine list had very few wines by the glass - essentially ‘white red or rosé’. They had turbot on the menu which. according to our server, had probably been there two days or more. The service was enthusiastic rather than professional - the young lady did not seem to have had any formal training in hospitality. The owner was on holiday, and the ‘head chef’ on another site working in a fish and chip shop, so I wonder who had overall supervision.

Probably the best food I have had all year big portions and full of flavour and the service was great will definitely be back. Mr matthews

After visiting Beamers on a number of occasions this time was most certainly the best food we have had here so fresh hot & tasty, I had lobster in garlic my husband had turbot & mother in-law had turbot all enjoyed our food, all done to how we had asked everything was tasty service was fantastic extremely helpful polite & friendly, we were given special bread on the table it was the best we were told secret recipe a must try. Fantastic views comfortable & fantastic food defiantly be back .

Last night has to be the worst experience we have ever had in almost 35 years of travelling and visiting a so called ‘fine dinging restaurant’ We arrived at 6pm to be welcomed by a lady blowing up balloons, (there were no other guests there) we were shown to our table overlooking the harbour and informed of the special for the evening. 20 mins later I asked the lady could we please have a drink, yip, you herd me right, nobody there and we were not offered a drink. When our drinks came, we the ordered our meal, (we didn’t order starters as we’d already been there for 40 mins. Food came 1/2 hour later, I had the lobster which was smothered in butter. My wife had the trio of fish which looked quite nice. We ate our food, (not once did anyone come over and ask if we wanted a l other drink. (we were only drinking soft drinks as I don’t drink alcohol) we then waited another 20mins before anyone came to take away our plates, it was now 7:20pm, I asked could we please have the bill. Another 15 mins, asked again, bill arrived, I went to the bathroom and seen a gentleman sitting on the work surface in the kitchen on his mobile phone. Says it all really!! We paid our bill and left. Absolutely shocking service, never again

Lovely food and service, but they took a £10 deposit on booking and didn't pay it back!! So although a nice evening with a tip given, we now feel a bit ripped off as the deposit was never returned !!

There’s no doubting the enjoyment we had from our eating at this listing. The food was expertly cooked and the taste was ‘up there’. Presentation too was good and the service generally was ‘on it’. Certainly the team members were polite and responsive and stand out was the Philippino waitress, wife of the chef ! She was genuine and engaging and ‘interested’. What I’m struggling to justify is the cost of everything. It was noticeable from the off that prices here are toppy. No ‘Mains’ under £20 and it was £38 for the fillet steak I had. I thoroughly enjoyed it but…! The starters average £7ish and the same for desserts. One other consideration is the menu - and choice. No surprise that in Brixham there’s a predominance of fish and what we saw looked excellent. There’re 4 cuts of beef to consider and an excellent duck dish as well as a vegetarian option…but no other ‘mains’ meat. I live in the South East and am used to the London dining scene. I’m more than happy to pay above average prices but in this case, I’m not convinced that the overall experience justifies the cost of it ? That said, I wish Beamers well…

A nice, elevated, fish restaurant in the gorgeous harbour area of Brixham – I imagine the views during the summer months must be fantastic. Personally I found the interiors a little old fashioned and quite dark – that may well be personal preference I guess All that being said, the food was more than decent. I started with the fish croquettes which were a good size for a starter followed by the trio of Brixham landed fish. The highlight was definitely the red mullet (first time of trying) but the accompanying sides were just OK, boiled carrots and dauphinoise seemed a little out of place alongside delicate well cooked fish. The wine list was decent and the wait staff all very friendly. Overall, quite expensive but you could not fault the quality

We had almost everything on the menu. I think meat dishes are not that good compared to fish dishes. Waiting staffs best.

Lovely food & attentive staff, really made an effort to make our evening enjoyable. We had Olives with bread then Turbot and Monkfish with Dauphine Potatoes with Veg & Salad followed by profiteroles and Citrus Tart - all delicious & very enjoyable evening, staff really...

I love the atmosphere of this restaurant and the staff are always amazingly lovely, felt that the price has risen way to much especially for local fish that sadly has put us off going again.

Everything was cooked to perfection we had a mix of fresh fish and steaks all were delicious. The skate spring rolls incredible everything tasted fresh and tasty we all loved it.

If your face doesn't fit then your not welcome, we spent almost £100 the steak wasn't cooked correctly, when we mentioned it to the waitress we were told yes it looks over cooked, when we complained at the end we were told tough, you ate...

Visited this restaurant as a part of a weekend away on a boat with my mother and step father. The staff were absolutely incredible, very attentive but not overbearing. Helped greatly with recommendations of wines and dishes and were happy enough to deal with our...

My wife and I visited Beamers to celebrate her birthday and we weren’t disappointed. This is a lovely restaurant in a wonderful location on Brixham’s harbour side serving food to match. To start, we both had the crab, monkfish and prawn croquettes which were delicious....

Food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. I ate the Sea Bass and my husband had steak cooked perfectly to his liking. Highly recommended.

Beamers always had the reputation of being one of the best, if not the best, restaurant in Brixham. It has changed ownership and we were keen to discover if it still retained the quality of food and service. We are delighted to report it continues...

We had to bail out of our original restaurant due to the weather so went here instead. WOW - are we so glad we did. What a restaurant - absolutely stunning food and attentive service. We were a group of six and everyone of us...

BEAMERS was taken over few months ago, they refreshed the dining room in a simple manner, very nautical of course, it feels clean and peaceful now. The owner himself is at the helm keeping an expert eye on his sailors. We had lobster to start,...

We dined at Beamers last night. Wow. Fabulous food, very well presented. Great staff. Looking forward to going back for more!

Waiting staff forgot to take our food order so we had a long wait for food to arrive. I had mushroom stroganoff, very small portion, some rice with a few mushrooms cooked in cream no flavour at all. Very disappointing.

A very warm welcome and excellent menu. We had a lovely seat overlooking the harbour. I had the best lobster I have ever tasted - it was delicious. My friend had a rib eye steak which was also excellent. We were really well looked after...

We visited for a family birthday meal having been to Beamers many times over the years but not since the new ownership. The food was as great as always and it was really nice to sample the new menu which is still focused around the...

Unfortunately after many varied reviews - we decided the only way was to make our own decision! What a mistake that was - starters - average…. At best…. Mains - ordered the bone free sea bass which turned out to be boned beyond belief! After...

Firstly, the food is odd. Cheesy dauphinoise potatoes with a delicate trio of fish? In addition red cabbage? The service is chaotic and ill trained but sometimes enthusiastic. We waited 50 minutes for our starter to discover it had been given to a different table....

Had a great meal, friendly atmosphere and excellent seafood, was welcomed by the staff who were friendly and efficient

Our dinner was very good 3 fish dish was excellent & the ribeye was cooked just the way i ask for perfect , and local food .

Although we only visit Brixham twice a year, Beamers has always been a must do for each visit. We were originally concerned that a change of ownership had taken place. Please don't worry! The staff were attentive, helpful and extremely efficient. The food was excellent,...

Beamers Restaurant is an excellent venue for good quality food and wine. We celebrated a friends birthday for dinner and he was very impressed. The service was courteous and efficient. Many thanks.

We had read good reviews about this restaurant so we’re happy to book, we were greeted as we walked in by a friendly chap & was seated by a window seat. A waiter said he would come back to take our drinks but then he...

The best way to describe this place is a bit odd. However as we'd reserved a table and unbeknown to me his indoors had already paid a £20 deposit - we were tied in. The fish goujons were plentiful and tasty. The scallops with black...

Four of us went for dinner. Friendly welcome sat in window booth which was lovely.I had monkfish wrapped in Parma ham and prawns it was delicious, my husband had brixham sole which he was very happy with, trio of fish and duck for the others...

We managed to get a last minute booking on a Bank Holiday weekend and we're so glad we did. The food and the service was wonderful - they moved us to one of the lovely window booths when one became free which was a great...

Well laid out Restaurant with plenty of room. Great selection of local sea food. Opted for toasted king prawns with garlic and toast for starters. The prawns were tender and cooked perfectly. Dover sole for mains, absolutely perfectly cooked and exceedingly tasty. Served with dauphinoise...

Great Restaurant offering great view over Brixham Harbour and in excellent location. Great choice of food and Monkfish and mixed fish main dishes really tasty. We ordered profitteroles for desert which were quite frozen on arrival and the choice of desserts don't compare so favourably...

We are still sat at a beautiful window table as I write this review. Wasnt sure what to expect tonight as there's new owners, but we weren't disappointed, I had goujons to start and they were so delicious, the fish was light and full of...

Had dinner here on my birthday. Arrived to find a happy birthday banner put up at our table, nice surprise. Very friendly welcome. I had hake fillet and my husband had chicken. Both meals were excellent, tasty, plentiful and well presented. Had the cheesecake for...

Pleasant meal, although we didn’t realise there was a set menu as this wasn’t shown on the website. The scallop starters were minuscule, however the main course portions were plentiful. Desserts were very nice. Service was good.

We’ve visited Beamers a few times over the years on our annual holidays. As a large family the staff have been more than welcoming. There is never any problem with custom orders for the kids, plates are always spotless by the end of the meal...

Our first visit to Beamers whilst on holiday in the area. Decided to go here after reading mainly positive reviews, despite the odd negative one here and there. My wife and I had the shellfish platter for two, eldest child had the pork and youngest...

Myself and my sister visited Beamers by chance. We were looking to find somewhere to eat and luckily managed to get a table without prior booking. I ordered the monkfish and my sister ordered the turbot . Both meals were outstanding. The fish was cooked...

I am 77 and Beamers fish restaurant turned out to be the best ever fish restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life,wonderful menu , we had a seafood platter which was full to the brim with lovely fresh fish,crab smoked salmon ,prawns,...

First visit last night. I thought the menu was very different to other seafood restaurants. I tried the shark starter, not really knowing what to expect. It was delicious and very moreish. I’d have it as a main. The scallops were fabulous. The mains (all...

I visit Beamers 3 or 4 times a year, and have been doing so for a good number of years. They have an excellent model. This place is about the food, and I have never been disappointed. Visited with family in October, I opted for...

We ate at Beamers on 7th October 2022 as a party of 4 people and it was a terrible experience ! When we ordered the waiter said that she forgot to tell us that they had ran out of certain starters which left us with...

Thank you so much Beamers, what a fantastic experience. We were a party of four and your food was exceptional. A great well thought out menu. We chose from your specials menu and all had starters and mains. A lovely relaxed and friendly atmosphere with...

Beautiful food, nice service. Starters exceptional. If you are in Brixham treat yourself you won’t regret e

There are some excellent restaurants in Brixham but I think, Beamers is the best. Lovely food and great service. We will be back!!

Been here several times, and it's always great. The food is excellent, and service is well paced. Worth a visit!

We had a superb evening. The service was first class, and the food outstanding. A great choice of specials alongside a varied menu. The white Rioja we chose to go with our meal was fabulous. Service was at a nice pace. I hate nothing more...

We have always thought Beamers to be the best restaurant in Brixham. We visited over the bank holiday and for the first time in years we left with mixed feelings for the following reasons. In the past we have always been offered the most delicious...

We have had many fish dishes whilst visiting Brixham but this was by far the best! Gorgeous food, lovely welcoming atmosphere and superb staff.

My partner and I visited Beamers Restaurant on our last nights stay in Brixham. We found it strange that there was no on line booking system to reserve a table but never a less we rang a website mobile phone number and was told that...

Booked for my wife’s birthday, been several times before. Parents travelled 4 hours to Brixham for the occasion. All seemed okay until afte an hour waiting for the mains we questioned the wait. We were told it’s your turn next? A chef has gone home,...

My wife and I shared s seafood platter and made the mistake of also ordering a starter! The two tier 'platter' had a wide variety of seafood, including lobster, crab claws, dressed crab, prawns, mussels, whitebait, mini battered fish, scallops.... Accompanied by a selection of...

Having read reviews, we booked ahead to ensure a table. The whole experience was however overshadowed by the rude staff, it was a big let down and very disappointing. The staff weren’t very welcoming from the start and seemed irritated by general questions about the...

Ate at Beamers last week whilst we was on holiday in Brixham, was looking forward to it as has some good reviews. Food was great, probably the best food we ate whilst in Broxham. I had fish, my son had steak and my wife had...

Beamers is probably the best restaurant experience in Brixham and it is highly advisable to book a table in advance, as it is not unusual to find it fully booked in our experience. The food is very high quality, but the prices are very good...

This was our first visit to Beamers and to say the food and service was fantastic is an understatement. Beamers is located in the heart of Brixham and the views across the harbour are beautiful. We received a warm and welcoming from the staff upon...

We arrived to find that the harbour area had lost 3-phase power meaning they had no ovens or other important cooking equipment. Staff cheerfully told us about the hastily cobbled together menu and found us a table. We started with tempura turbot nibbles, then I...

We booked a table for 7.30 on Wednesday 17 august. We waited an hour and a half for the starters and over two hours for the main course. We were not informed of a long wait when we arrived. We wouldn’t have stayed had we...

We visited this resturant when we stayed for the weekend. The food was beautifully cooked and presented. The staff were polite and very friendly it was very fairly priced and the resturant was lovely. We enjoyed our meals and would happily return here when we...

Climb the stairs fro The Quay to the first floor restuarant where the tables are comfortably spaced. Dover sole, turbot fries, monkfish or plaice - it is all very good.

I originally made this trip advisor account to comment on Beamers before, and since then it has seen little use. Me and my partner returned on the 14th of July and as always, it was good enough to write about. We enjoyed a series of...

We had the misfortune of visiting this restaurant on 27th July having rung ahead to book. We were not given a table near the window as asked for, but no big deal. There is obviously a massive profit margin on wine in this place as...

This place was genuinely the nicest place to eat. We went for an evening meal and they kindly fitted us in for 6pm. The views from our seat were incredible, looking over the harbour with the sun beaming onto the sea. The food - wow....

Starters were quite nice, very hot in the restaurant & no a-c, fan etc . Mains arrived eventually, 2 of them was warm , decided to eat as we were so hungry, whilst eating it, I ordered another drink, right up to finishing the meal...

Pre booked for anniversary mid week meal, requested window seat. On arrival given seat in centre of restaurant which was dark and table too small for food, wine glasses etc the lighting needs to be looked at could hardly see the food. Window seats empty...

Absolutely awful table for 4 they brought 3 starters brought the 4th when we had finished then brought wrong meal out for the main didn't bring all the order cost 181.00 never again that's for sure very poor service

Pre booked the table before we arrived in Brixham, so pleased we did as it was a great choice of restaurant, the staff were very pleasant and our food was really nice. So much so we asked to book for the next evening but they...

Was expecting better. First of all wrong starters delivered so had to wait a long time until the correct starters were prepared. The prawns and lobster in the Thermidor starter were over cooked. Turbot for main course was also over cooked and swimming in watery...

Excellent seafood. Prepared with care, great service. I’ve eaten seafood in many places and this is up with the best of them

Prebooked a table and was pleased to get a window seat, lovely views across the harbour. The food and service was equally lovely, the fresh fish was amazing and really well presented.

Excellent, food , service and colleagues. We have been dining out in Brixham all week and this restaurant is our favourite so far. Booked again before we return home. Thank you.

Booked a table for our last night in Brixham and we weren’t disappointed. Service was a little slow to begin with, but the food more than made up for it. It was an amazing meal and a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Had a week in Brixham and visited several local restaurants: Beamers was the ‘absolute stand-out’. Fantastic and varied menu, and then fabulous ‘specials’. Throughly enjoyed the wide choice of fresh fish, which changed daily. We originally had one dinner booking but enjoyed it so much...

Delicious octopus starter, really fresh and delicious hake in miso and equally fab turbot in caper sauce which was a triumph. Turbot came with a single prawn with pork crackling topping which really didn’t work - crackling pieces were so hard they got jammed in...

Book this restaurant and you won't be disappointed. My husband had a steak and I had the lemon sole - both fabulous dishes. Would highly recommend

Great atmosphere and sailing decoration to this restaurant. Had the Langoustines for starter and Lobster Thermidor for mains. Not the cheapest restaurant you could find but food was excellent. Waiter was attentive and had a sense of humour. Would ( and probably will) return this...

We returned to Beamers after a few years. The food was still excellent. My husband had the fish platter for one twice, different fish each time and he said it was excellent. I had the pork and another day had the rump steak which were...

Fantastic local produce cooked beautifully- the steak was amazing! Friendly relaxed service this is a must visit for foodies in Brixham.

A review, first time in more than a decade... And why, because of the very poor service at Beamers in Brixham. We were a couple seated immediately adjacent to a table with 2 couples and several infants, the youngest around 6 months. It was wholly...

Our first weekend away in the caravan for the season and heading down to our second home from home Devon. After last season when there was restrictions I took no chances and phoned in April to book but upon arriving no booking which was disappointing...

Beamers is a great restaurant with quality food and service. There was a large group of us so the ask was big. Beamers came up trumps with consistent quality. A very friendly restaurant.

My wife and I ate here twice on a recent holiday to Brixham where we had lovely fish courses on both occasions. The service was excellent and the staff very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely go there again
