Music too loud and invasive...we did ask for the volume to be turned down...but we're told it got automatically louder in response to customer noise!

Such a warm welcome as we came in the door even our dog received friendly attention from the staff who also served him with a bowl of water! Breakfast was lovely couldn't fault the smashed avocado it was very tasty, my daughter and husband had the bacon pancakes. Staff were friendly and attentive making my mother's day breakfast a lovely experience.

Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, no pressure from staff to quickly order eat and leave, it's a great place to meet with friends, date night or a family lunch, the only downside is it can get very loud at times, with music and then people noise over the top of it makes it hard to hear your own company, however, when visiting with an SEN relative they turned the music down a bit when asked and are very accommodating to the needs of others and I have not had a bad meal there, my favourites the nasi goreng, bang bang cauliflower or a simple burger.

The staff are super friendly and lovely, they make the BEST chai latte. This is my favourite place to go, the food is always good, they make my favourite cocktail, that i cant find anywhere else (betty blue) and the halloumi burger is the best I’ve had. Love this place

My friend had a fall on the way to meet me and my friend in the orsino lounge and had hurt her hand very badly covered in blood 🫣 I asked if they had a first aid kit and their response was so positive ran and found it straight away.I told them I’m too squeamish to do it but my friend would they immediately offered to do it for us and put blue gloves on ready to go in.i ordered the drinks and was told they were on the house due to us being upset over our friend.I can’t thank them enough for their kindness and consideration they went above and beyond.I have to say that all the staff in the orsino lounge have always been fabulous as well as the customer service can’t praise them enough thank you team Orsino xx

Great place just off Newton Town Centre, friendly team, great food, great drinks selection. GF, DF Vegan choices and other allergies catered for. Some games to keep all ages entertained.They also host quizzes which is always fun to take a Team down. Nice vibe for a coffee after all that shopping, hot chocolate to warm you on a chilly day or get the drinks in with the guys or gals.

If you’re wandering in Newton Abbot and looking for a laid-back atmosphere with delicious food, friendly staff, and tasteful decor, look no further than Orsino. My partner and I have become big fans of the Lounges, mainly thanks to Orsino. We came on New Year’s Eve, and devoured the Korean chicken burger and a steak with fries. Despite both meals being a bargain, they were absolutely fantastic. the chicken burger was well-flavoured without being too spicy or strong, while my partner’s steak was cooked just to his liking. The dessert was also wonderful! My partner adored his sundae, and while I thought the sticky toffee pudding could use a tad more sauce, I still enjoyed every bite. The staff were friendly and ensured we had all we needed throughout our visit. A solid favourite of ours, and we will be sure to return.

We were let down by the local Premiere Inn and found this place on Google Maps. When we arrived the staff were very attentive and the food arrived quickly for 4 people. The menu was fantastic and the choice was very good. Our breakfast were absolutely superb and we will be going back on New Years Day. If you are looking for great variety and tasty food then this is the place.

Late booking for a lunch for 10. Food was excellent - whole group loved it. Bacon cheeseburger was a hit for Mum and me. Good flavours and nice brioche bun. Fries done v well and a good dollop of coleslaw. Wife loved her chicken burger. Again v tasty. Sister in law enjoyed the tapas - went for squid and honey whipped feta dishes. Brothers loved their big lounge breakfast. Good meal. Fun atmosphere. Quirky decor. Staff team all friendly. Loved it.

I have been here multiple times and not once had a positive experience however two days ago I came to dinner with my boyfriend and when given my food I noticed my burger was still raw inside after taking a bite and spitting it out as it tasted disgusting. I then told the staff this after they had proceeded to check back ages after we were served I was given a burger that was awful and completely over done to the point I could exactly eat it there was no apology even though it was completely obvious it was inedible. I’m not usually one to complain however about 2 hours after I was consistently throwing up from 9pm in the night till 9 in the morning along with serve diarrhoea due to food poisoning. Will not be coming back and I have told multiple people to never go

Food was really nice, I've only rated the service as I have cause it's a table number job anyway, which I actually don't mind cause your left alone. But all the service was very very good and the staff were lovely too. Id give the atmosphere a 3 as very neutral but I gave it a four as there was a quiz night this evening we visited and a few people were definitely enjoying it. We arrived half way through and I'm glad we didn't partake as I'd have done terrible. The questions were really difficult. However, we are going to come back another evening for an early one and get involved. Great evening locally all in all and I'd definitely recommend

Everything was great. However the music meant everyone was talking very loud and I could not hear people at the end of our table. The hard walls and lack of soft furnishings to absorb sound didn't help. I am not deaf or even partially deaf.

At £15.50 for a large breakfast, the only difference I can see from a weatherspoons breakfast is the sausage may be better quality. I’m not even joking…you put these two meals next to each other and there really isn’t much difference…orsino one may be slightly bigger.

The food here is really good quality, the staff are friendly and attentive but not pushy. The place is big enough to accommodate large groups without feeling cramped. I recommend the vegan smashed avocado flat bread, it's lovely and healthy to boot. I'm often lost in my own world and no-one bothers me. It's been a godsend for gently getting out into the world again. A really good spot.

Generally I have had lovely experiences at Orsino's, I went there on my first date with my fiancé years ago! I therefore don't want to give the place a really bad rating, but sadly I had a really bad experience last Friday. Things generally didn't seem to be working well- firstly, the QR codes weren't working so we had to order at the bar, making long queues. When I got to the front, they told me they had no pineapple juice, so they couldn't make a large number of cocktails, which apparently included the pornstar martini (which is odd, because I have never had pineapple juice in a pornstar martini before...) When I tried to get a simple apple juice, they handed me a child's juice carton (no glass or anything) and told me that's all they had. The bar staff were rather rude and dismissive throughout this. As a loyal customer who has spent hundreds of pounds there by this point, it's sad that that loyalty isn't appreciated. Might give it a miss for a while....

We are regulars and often enjoy the pancakes and I go for the coffee. However the last two visits (7 days apart) the coffee has tasted strange and bitter. We did ask on the first occasion if they had changed the coffee brand but was assured it was as it always was. The second visit confirmed the same bitter aftertaste in the coffee. We normally have a couple of coffees but there are some good coffee houses in Newton Abbot and I'll have my second coffee elsewhere.

Always a pleasure, a go-to spot in Newton Abbot. The food is really tasty as with all the lounges, but Orsino does the best whipped feta, better than the others! In terms of Accessibility, the restaurant is totally level access with a wide door way, lots of space inside to move around in a wheelchair, and dog friendly too. The tables are all different and quirky, and most have a deep skirt underneath so you may hit your knees if the wheelchair is taller. All of the staff are super friendly and very attentive!

No one tells you that you order from the table. You are met at the door and shown to a table, which gives the impression that someone will come and take your order. There is a sign on the table that you either scan the qr code or go up and order your meal, but we waited for a while before I spotted it. Once ordered, despite it being a Saturday, the drinks and food came quickly. The bill, for 2 adults and a child, came to £49, which puts the orsino at a decently priced bracket, being as a milk shake and 2 pints were included in that price. The food was delicious, but the portions are small. The tapas that my friend had, looked very presentable, and my Rose's Truffle Chicken was nice, although it was the size of a normal starter. It was a good vibe in there, and there was enough room for everyone.

Avoid like plague! They will kick an entire family out and not honour bookings even though restaurant is empty! Awful awful service from the moody lady serving at the bar. I know that service around Devon is hit and miss but her attitude is some of the worst I’ve ever seen her in my life and I’ve seen a lot of bad service. So here’s my experience at this place today Tuesday 1st of March: I called at 15:54 and proceeded to leave a voicemail with my booking as there was no answer. I said we will arrive around 17:30/17:40, we are a family of 6 (2 adults, 2 children, 2 babies). I figured it’s a Tuesday and booking a dinner at 17:30 not exactly busy. 2 days prior I walked in the pub and asked hours of operation and the nice young guy there told me Tuesday supper should be easy and can call during the day, I don’t need to call days in advance. I then proceed to drive for 1 hour and 15 minutes to this place. I get there 17:30 start walking towards the pub, I see a young couple in the garden eating. I then walk in, apart from 1 other person the place was totally EMPTY…just like you would expect on a Tuesday at 17:30! I look around for someone but there was nobody there so I proceed to walk to the bar. Behind the bar the lady I was mentioning, she was serving a couple at the bar having some drinks. I then ask her politely “excuse me, who do I need to talk to about a reservation at the restaurant?”. She answers back snarky “me once im done here”. I’m like oh wow she’s really in a good mood. I wait for a few minutes she then walks behind the bar to her computer. She asks me if I have a reservation, i then tell her I called an hour and a half ago and left a voicemail. She replies saying oh I haven’t got any voicemails and just looks at the phone on wall without checking or anything like that. Obviously she was totally bs’ing me. She then asks how many people and when. I say now and we are 2 adults, 2 young children and 2 babies. She says “we are too busy we have a local dinner / local event tonight and only 1 chef we don’t have space.” I reply back “but I booked the place by leaving a voicemail, the restaurant is now empty (surely this event is not at 5:30pm???) and I drove over an hour with 4 hungry children to come here”. I even showed her the phone number I dialled in my phone and she confirmed it’s the right one. She then looks me straight in the eye and says “sorry…I can book you for dinner tomorrow” and proceeds to walk back to the bar. Great service right? Now I go back to the car and as my wife got all the kids out i tell her to put everyone back in. Obviously everyone screaming and hungry so have to find new place for dinner. I then drove for 10 minutes to nearby Bovey Castle (thank god this place is nearby) who had no trouble offering us dinner without a booking. If the owner sees the message I would appreciate if you could leave some contact details. This type of behaviour from staff is totally unacceptable and owner needs to be aware of it!

I popped in for breakfast and found it a bit awkward. The signs were to the breakfast buffet which I assumed would be an all you can eat for a fixed fee. Instead you order at the bar then take your ticket to the buffet where the chef adds the items you have paid for. I’ve been spoiled by breakfast buffets and left disappointed. There were only a few of us in there around 9:15am

Visited for breakfast and my sister wanted scrambled eggs on toast while I wanted a large breakfast. They said they couldn't make scrambled egg. We said it was fine in the microwave even and they refused. So we left.
