Mollys Paignton in Torbay

Dean was excellent. Amazing service and food. We will be back again!

Absolutely fantastic dinner! It's rare to enjoy every single dish, but everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. On top of that, the staff were all lovely, friendly, and full of smiles. We had such a great experience that we tried to come back the very next day, but it was already fully booked! We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

Delicious food and fabulous service! Very dog friendly too.

Great quayside restaurant/bar. Food better than pub grub

Friendly service, good food, pleasant ambience.

Roast dinners delicious roast beef so tasty. Staff are helpful and polite.we spent£15 per person

Good food and very dog friendly.

After an amazing week back in Devon Brixham we strolled into Harbour lights for a final drink with our dog, my husband was treated rudely while waiting to be served by a very miserable woman brought our mood crashing down won’t be returning when we next come down .

We popped in a for drink whilst in the local area on a day out. The staff are amazingly friendly and they have a wide range of beer and cider available. Lots of outside sitting areas both on the sun and shades and great views. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the area

Highly recommend the fresh battered fish and mussels. Great service and delicious food. We'll be returning again for sure whilst on holiday.

Went just for drinks. Lovely spot overlooking the beach

The poor experience was...waiter service....didn't know what beer ..wine or spirits you was ordering...and very expensive....on a good note the harbour view was amazing....

We went here for the first time today. I had a prawn sandwich and my wife had a small portion of fish and chips and we had a couple of ciders as well. What can I say? Wow! Firstly beautiful location. Choice of portion size on the fish,chips and minted peas according to taste. My wife said the fish was amazing and I pinched a chip(or two) they were perfect. My sandwich was bursting with juicy prawns with a lovely side salad. The staff were so friendly and kind, nothing was too much trouble.It was all table service and we didn't pay until the end of the meal. We are quite local (Babbacombe) and we had not tried this place before but we will definately be going back very soon.

Great location and service from the friendly staff. Most accommodating to dogs with blankets treats and very own dog beer. Well recommend a visit I will definitely be back again.

This is a lovely place. My husband booked a table for us for our anniversary. The staff were friendly, attentive and took good care of us. The food was spot on, the mussels were amazing. We will definately be back next year.

Great views of paignton harbour . Nice outdoor seating . Great service by staff especially Dean

Fantastic views,right on the harbour side. Nice food, but not many choices, also a little overpriced, IMO.

We stopped at this cafe initially looked great. Venue good atmosphere's good We thought that we would have coffee and return for food later I was a little surprised that the coffee was out of a machine rather barista style On leaving I asked if I could use the toilet the rather abrupt answer was we do not have one use the public toilets opposite Really hence we did not return for food

Dean was a funny and attentive host with just the right amount of charm. Late arrival and we got a table on a Friday night just before the kitchen closed. We had the seafood sharer and if you love seafood then it's definitely for you

Love this place by the sea. Always greeted with a friendly face, especially Dean. Well looked after. Lovely food and the views are fabulous. Regular locals.

Super friendly staff and delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere. We sat outside and had a wonderful evening 😋👍 Would definitely go back 🙏

Great views of the harbour. Food was good however would have liked a bit more choice on the menu but would definitely return.

Our second time eating here and it didn't disappoint. Food is lovely we both had the Angus Beef Burger which was very tasty. Will Def eat here again when in the area.

What a fantastic place to eat amazing team so helpful made our evening amazing with fantastic food

Tracy and the team didn’t disappoint as usual. A wonderful atmosphere, great service and fantastic food (Table 61). If you’re in the area, you should visit

Lovely pub by the water with indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of food choice on the menu. We had fish & chips and scampi. Unfortunately food was mediocre with fish and chips edible but scampi was burnt and dry. Too many people i guess on a sunny day. Efficient staff.

we came here a few days ago and we got a very warm welcome even treating the dog to a drink of water and some treats. we will be back to try the food next time 😍

We were a party of 10 hungry and thirsty cyclists who visited Harbour Light for dinner on Tuesday evening - then came back again for lunch a couple of days later. Very warm welcome from Dean and the team on both occasions. Food, wine, beer and especially service were all 5 star. Many thanks to friendly and entertaining front of house and kitchen staff for two great visits.

My wife and I visited over the Bank Holiday Weekend and had a wonderful meal. The staff were great, and our dog was made to feel very welcome with a water bowl and blanket to lay on. The food was fantastic too, I would highly recommend a visit here.

Table service detracts from wanting to go for a pint and sit outside. cant see what's wrong with just going to the bar. it is a pub after all... everything else was good, drinks were good, inside decor was nice, staff friendly

Perfect end to my holiday in Devon. Dean greeted me with his joyous energy, I was sat overlooking the harbour served by a lovely, attentive person I didn’t catch the name of. The pea ravioli and garlic bread (vegan meal) was the nicest, most delicious pasta meal I’ve eaten in my life, well worth the cost.

£17 for a Guinness and a wine spritzer 🤷

A really enjoyable roast beef lunch with great service.

Great customer service, great view of the sea and nice snacks to go with a pint on sunny day!

Dean was a very nice and attentive waiter. The food was good. Delicious home-brewed beer. Nice beer garden with a view of the harbor. We will go there again before we leave.

Lovely place to relax and enjoy good food and drink especially in the sunshine Service is excellent

Superb seafood, fresh and cooked to perfection. Well done.

Visiting the area on holiday with a friend who lives close by, stopped yesterday for a drink, as it turned out to be a beautiful afternoon. A good few choices of alcohol free lagers/IPA's as I was driving, and plenty more that did have! Staff, the atmosphere, and the setting made us want to come back, so we booked a table for the Sunday roast today. What an excellent choice it turned out to be. My friend was using a wheelchair and the access is unbelievably considerate. There is a lift to take you on the top floor so you can still enjoy a fantastic view whilst eating. Everything we had was beautiful, cooked and presented and so very tasty. Thank you to all. Will definitely be back again.

A lovely resturant /pub with fabulous views. We enjoyed the sea food platter it was delicious. Our waitress Freya was lovely very attentive and friendly. Thank you for a lovely lunch we will definitely come back when we are in Paignton again.

We ordered coffee and the sticky toffee pudding and Victoria sponge. Divine!

The BEST FISH AND CHIPS in Paignton. Highly RECOMMEND

Beautiful food, freshly cooked. Good prices, super views

We have been to Harbour Light twice now and both times we had a lovely time. Dean served us both times and is an incredible waiter. Friendly, helpful and just a wonderful person. He is so welcoming and charming, I would go back again just because of Dean! Thank you for making our night out feel special x

This was our 3rd or 4th visit.. this time it was a family lunch.. excellent customer service.. and lunch was amazing just as last time.. definitely will be back...

Had cajun whitebait, Aberdeen Angus burger and cheeseboard all if which wete delicious. The staff were great and happy to substitute blue cheese for a non blue cheese. Excellent

Visited today, very busy. Sat outside, Sunday lunch, chicken, very nice, separate gravy which I love. Fab waitress, highly recommend

Lovely place to stop for lunch. Good menu and reasonably priced. Excellent service, friendly and fast Added bonus of singer this afternoon. Only negative is that there are no toilets on site but this would not put me off visiting again.

When me and my partner arrived we were met with a very friendly, enthusiastic service. The interior/atmosphere was very cosy and romantic, definitely an ideal place to go to with your partner. The food, was absolutely devine. Only thing I could fault if I had to be picky was the rhubarb and ginger cheesecake I had could have done with some sauce/cream as the crumb was quite dry, but it was bursting with flavour and everything else was 11/10. I had the Aberdeen Angus burger and I kid you not the best burger I have ever eaten! For nibbles I’d highly recommend the chorizo bites and hash brown bites…unreal! It exceeded my expectations and even though it was expensive, everything was well worth the price.

Ate here tonight, lovely setting and even better views! Service was excellent and very friendly. We came with a baby and they were very accommodating. Food was fantastic, I had mussels and the wife had steak, both delicious and steak was cooked perfectly.

Dean you are amazing, just the man you need in every pub/bar/restaurant ♥️

Great place for a coffee or beer. Good food also

Great place for a meal, lovely food and friendly staff

The special haddock was overcooked very tasty but difficult to disect. The staff were amazing and went out of their way to be helpful. A very pleasant evening. Drinks are quite expensive though.

Had a stumble upon visit to Harbour Light, reassured by the fact it was a St. Austell gaff among the others we had walked past along the sea front. We were served by Dean who was absolutely superb. He was professional and punctual but full of character. I had the moules mariniere, my partner had the Lamb flat bread and the little one a combination of starters. All were perfect. Will definitely be back.

Only had drinks so can't comment on food. I think we did get forgotten about when waiting to order, but it was busy. Great spot in the sun outside.

We found this restaurant two years ago and this amazing food is brilliant. All stuff is nice. I really recommended this with one.

Popped in for drinks. Staff very professional, very attractive decor and menu looks good. Super location. Hope to visit to eat soon. Dean very welcoming and super helpful dealing with my unusual request.

It's a beautiful pub right on the Harbour in Paignton. Wonderful views from upstairs. Unfortunately, you can not take your dog upstairs , but do allow dogs downstairs.. The staff were really friendly, which is a big bonus.. The only reason I gave it a 4 star was that I found my dish to be a little bit salty. I don't know if it was the fish or the sauce, and I would have liked a bit of greenery , like baby broccoli on the side. That will not put me off, and we will definitely visit again.

Great lunch time treat. Service was friendly and efficient. Dean delivered smoothly and with care. Fantastic harbour location with great views across the bay.

What a gem of a place to have in Torbay. Stunning views from the balcony seating and an absolute sun trap. First class seafood as it should be on the harbour and the most attentive service with Dean…funny and friendly . Can’t wait to come back and work my way through that menu

Popped in whilst staying the night in Paignton. Good sized portions. Had the fish and chips and I’d give it 3/5. I wasn’t keen on the batter but that could just be me.

Stopped for coffee and cakes and had a very pleasant time. Excellent cakes, Battenberg to die for, even if it wasn’t square!! Liked it so much we’re going back for dinner.

Excellent food, good setting and service , the staff were very friendly, Dean in particular was engaging and amusing and added to the experience. Would highly recommend

Great food, views and friendly staff

Back again, superb food and really great friendly service. Excellent.

A great pub/restaurant with fantastic food, staff and stunning location. We ate there a couple of times on our week in Goodrington and would highly recommend it. Bonus is its very dog friendly, even providing blankets, plenty of water bowls and snacks for dogs. Thank you to you all for a great experience

Love this pub , great staff, great location

Dropped in for lunch as my partner's Birthday treat. We didn't plan it, but had a look for some gluten-free friendly places nearby, as he has been recently diagnosed with coeliac's, and i myself am avoiding gluten. I wanted to wait at few days after to leave a review, to see if my partner has any reaction (normally, he throws up straight away, and then feels sick for several days). He's caught a cold, so unfortunately, my findings aren't conclusive! But, he didn't get sick, and said it was really delicious. The food was brought to us by someone who we think was the chef, as he didn't continue to serve us, making us think this is to lower the risk of cross-contamination or miscommunication. Altogether the food was wonderful, and the service was top notch. We came here before, and we will be back again soon!

Enjoyed a lunchtime sandwich. Service was slow, but it was popular. Worth the wait., sandwich was delicious

Best place we've found in Paignton so far.

Harbor lights had a gluten free menu, which i appreciate as I have celiac disease. Food was lovely, the service was even better. Would highly recommend.

Was a wonderful experience and we visited twice in 2 days. The upstairs restaurant has wonderful views but we also enjoyed downstairs. The service was fantastic as was the food. My vegie partner felt the vegie pea ravioli was one of the best restaurant vegie meals ever! Sunday lunch was also excellent. But staff were so helpful and friendly.

Great food, staff were very friendly!

Great food, but service took longer than normal without the restaurant being busy.

We were 3 ladies that lunched on Thursday March 13th. We are regulars & always enjoy the food, atmosphere & service. We had the most delicious lunch of lobster starter & for main sole on a bed of crushed cornish potatoes & lobster & muscle sauce. The dark chocolate profiterole torte was divine! Am always happy to recommend this venue as always enjoy the whole experience & the food, ambience & service is amazing. Here's to the next one!!

Everything was fine but I couldn’t believe that a cafe serving alcohol and a pretty full menu had no toilet. I was told to use the public toilet across the road and pay 30p for the pleasure!!

Lovely service. Dean our server was great!

Lovely place, staff friendly, food was soooo good. I'd recommend the starter lamb cutlets, delicious 😋. Beautiful views across the harbour. I would definitely recommend this place.

Wow what a lovely place, looked after me on a quiet winter evening, pigeon starter, I'm so loving pigeon at the moment and the most fantastic venison main all in front of a lovely fire 🔥 fantastic definitely recommend 😘👌

Came for a night out with my wife. All I have to say is brilliant service, brilliant staff, brilliant food and a brilliant atmosphere. Definitely coming back in the future

First time visiting the harbour light and it won't be my last. Amazing food with amazing service. The upstairs restaurant is definitely the place to eat with a beautiful top deck to look out onto the harbour. Thank you and see you again soon. Rich.

Visited on 24 Feb from Bridgwater had two different lagers and cod chips and minty peas The staff really friendly they talk to you even if they are busy you don't get that everywhere ! My only two slight niggles are toilets are upstairs and anyone with breathing issues like me may find this a bit of a struggle and also not many choices of lagers but I'm just being picky 🤣Lovely staff and lovely atmosphere right on the harbour side and pooch friendly I will certainly be visiting again soon

Amazing venue. Views were beautiful. Ambience upstairs was warm and welcoming (my kids loved the fairy lights!). Friendly, welcoming and attentive staff. Clean environment. Food was amazing but we wanted more! Kids loved their giant sundaes. If there was a 'negative', we wanted to give the waitress a more generous tip but this was not an option on the card machine... we don't carry much cash these days!

Absolutely fabulous roast today - thick slices of lamb leg, beautifully cooked potatoes and I'd recommend getting extra cauliflower cheese as its delightful. Beautiful setting and great service. Highly recommend

Friendly efficient staff. Beer and food good.

Didn't eat but will be back soon, delightful

Been a few times always good. Last night the food was poor. The leak and potato soup was dreadful, the hamburger was dry and burnt. Very expensive for very poor food. Not sure what's changed but I will not be visiting again.

We went last night with our parents on their anniversary. Staff very friendly and welcoming, lovely venue, warm, trendy and attractive lighting and lovely setting. Food very tasty with good choice. The sticky toffee pudding was amazing. Keep up the good work.

A perfectly OK pub menu and if you are looking for that you will be generally happy. But don't expect much more, even if the website and menu suggests more. Very good location.

Music nite a disaster! The lady on keyboards might well have been OK, but was so loud it was unpleasant. We were upstairs and still had trouble communicating over the roar from below. Otherwise food and service was great.

Only popped in for a drink and some nibbles, but will definitely return for a meal soon 😋

This was not our first visit, and it certainly won't be our last! Staff always welcoming and attentive, food never disappoints. Only negative tonight was that when the bill came it stated allergies "No" but we were never asked the question at any point!

Great restaurant. Food was delicious and our waiter Dean made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend.

Went for a family meal, to celebrate my birthday. Absolutely outstanding, in all areas. Menu variation, standard of service, quality of food just fantastic & portion sizes were great. I'd give 6 stars if I could. Had shared starters of chorizo bites, hash brown bites & soda bread, which were all lovely. Venison shoulder was delicious, ribeye steak was perfect and the scampi was superb. Somehow we managed to finish off with brownies...even they were perfect!!

Beautiful surroundings and the food was amazing. Best roast beef we've ever had when eaten out. Only small issue was the unpleasant smell as soon as you enter the building and it doesnt really fade. There were also very sticky tables which need a good scrub. But that hasn't phased us and we can't wait to return.

The service was wonderful and the food was delicious

Second visit yo this lovely pub whilst visiting Paignton. Again, food was delicious and staff were very friendly. It's such a welcoming, cosy pub and the terrace overlooking the harbour is gorgeous. Child friendly too. Will definitely return next time we are in the area!

First class fish and chips. Perfect crunchy batter, fish fresh and moist. Mushy peas and Tartar appear to be made in house. Chips as chips should be, crisply on the outside, light and fluffy in the middle . After stopping for a couple of pints in the bar downstairs, I decided to eat and was accomodated on a particular table which I requested for the view upstairs. Lovely friendly staff. Also I noticed they have AC so would be a great place to cool off in summer heat. Enjoyed the chilled out lounge music, so much better than pop music belting out like most places.

Lovely restourant, we were served by Dean, so lovely and gentle. The food was so good, i gave 4 cause the pasta for the baby was too cooked. For the rest was very tasty and fresh. The best vish pie i had.

A Group of 7 of us came for Christmas 🎄lunch on Christmas day. Very disappointed 😞 the food was not hot. Potatoes tasted warmed up and turkey was watery and not good. Our first time in your beautiful Restaurant but sorry very disappointed.
