The Offshore Bar and Restaurant in Torbay

My family & I shared an excellent Xmas lunch here today, the food was delicious, the service excellent with lovely staff in a seasonal atmosphere. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant for any celebration

Attended a private party so made our own atmosphere, but staff and food were excellent.

Went here in the summer and had an amazing cream tea so today whilst on a weekend break went for Sunday lunch. Well,what can I say except WOW best Sunday lunch ever. Fantastic service, the meal was exceptional and beautiful restaurant. 11/10 We will most definitely return

A bit of a detour after my recent exploits, but jumped on the train to meet up with the family. The folks took us to Offshore as it’s their favourite place to eat in Torquay. Loved it! Somewhere as nice as this seems kind of out of place in Torquay to be honest, but with all the building work going on maybe the whole town is on the up! The staff were so friendly and the roasted squash sarnie I had was so tastey. Coffee was on point too. I’ll have to come visit more often!

Went with a group of 6 friends for dinner and couldn’t fault it. The food was truly delicious and the service exceptional (thankyou Chloe). We will be back!

Didn't book a table, just fancied an early dinner. Probably the best meal we've had for a long time. Attentive, polite, prompt, service. The food was incredible. We had the set menu which was excellent value too. Definitely will visit again and highly recommend.

Pizza and a beer in the sun outside,nice spot.

Great place to stop and watch the world go by. Great beer, gin, coffee, mocha and milkshakes. Fabulous bowl of nuts, like really really good. The staff were wonderful as well.

We had a great roast here on Sunday . My nut roast was the best I’ve ever had as so moist and tasty. Thank you to the chef and the lovely lady serving us as had good humour. Thank you also from our dog Lottie who loved the sausages. Cant wait to visit again soon . Thank you all.

Big thanks to Offshore. What an amazing venue to host our daughter's wedding last night. We were blown away by the staff, venue and food. Mark, Sarah, Misha and team couldn't have done more to help and advise us on the run up to the day. On the day the staff had decorated the venue beautifully and everything looked amazing.The bar staff (thank you Dylan) were fantastic with their quick service, can't be easy trying to serve 80 wedding guests! When it came to the food it was everything we wanted. Pizza's, salad, garlic bread and chips, that were possibly the best chips I've ever had! All in all the staff helped to make my daughter's wedding day so memorable. Thank you 😊

Super friendly and great food with lovely harbour views!

Really great location right on the harbour with nice views, attentive staff and a pleasant atmosphere. Food was really nice, we'll be back again!

Poor quality ingredients at a high price . BLT served in supermarket value white bread and the bacon was hardly cooked. Really disappointed and couldn’t complain as due to being sat outside they took payment before the food arrived . Two cokes and two sandwiches £33. Supermarket meal deal would have been better quality . Avoid at all costs

Great food , great service,lovely coctails and coffee. Great location for inside or outside dining .Friendly staff , lovely surroundings.

Lovely location with harbour views.

Came here for dinner before going to the theatre and everything was lovely. Got served by Natalia who was really friendly and helpful. Food was really good, steak cooked to perfection. Had a good atmosphere, great views and reasonably priced. We will be back, thank you :)

My wife and I had a evening meal on the 12th October and what a fantastic meal it was. So we decided to return On the 17th October oh what a disappointment it was this time around, such a shame. The reason for the high score was because of the evening meal, I would still recommend the restaurant.

Excellent food Excellent service friendly staff

A really friendly place, great food, good selection of drinks and the staff are very welcoming, thank you for a lovely evening.

Just dropped in for a coffee, but couldn't resist the scrumptious cake on the next table. Yes it did taste as good as it looked, the coffee had a great taste, not wishy washy. Would certainly recommend the Offshore to friends & family, the lady who served us was friendly & quick with a sense of humour .

I visited here Saturday night with two friends after it was recommended to me. The location is perfect and if the weather was kinder, you could have compared it to a Mediterranean setting. Alas, it was a little chilly and we dined outside the restaurant at 20:30. A little confusion at the start of the meal as the staff seemed disorganised and erratic. Things calmed down and we were given menus then informed that the kitchen closes at nine. We had to pay for the meals in advance which I found strange. I quipped “ is it because I’m not only Welsh but mixed race as well?” The server politely informed us that people often leave without paying, not just outside but also inside the restaurant! Onto the meals then. For starters, I had the pork belly bites. They were very tasty and seasoned well and garnished with coriander. Just a small bowl but were just enough to get the taste buds fired up. I haven’t had surf and turf for many years and couldn’t resist after seeing it on the menu. I had a Sam Miguel on draught and friends opted for soft drinks. The mains arrived after 10-15 minutes so not long at all. The restaurant was busy inside and we chose to be away from the crowd deliberately. I had the fillet steak cooked medium rare and peppercorn sauce. Chunky chips a mushroom and cherry vine tomatoes accompanied the dish. Also in a small bowl were three king prawns. The steak was magnificent and cooked to perfection. Medium rare it was and at a guess, I’d say 6-8 ounces. I never got told. Peppercorn sauce was in a gravy dish and the chunky chips were sadly frozen ones but not bad. My friend had scallops with a side of fries. He seemed to enjoy it. His partner arrived not long after and had some of his meal as the kitchen had now closed. Although what she was wearing certainly made her dish of the day 😜.

Friendly service. Good facilities and great to sit outside if weather permits

Really good service and a great pint of Guinness. Location was good as you sit near the marina…

The site was great the view superb think I must have upset chef as I ordered 2 lobster dinners for me and my wife as a anniversary treat I asked for no garlic butter as I don't like garlic so was surprised to find I had plate full of shell no tail meat just meat in claw bth had one half and one claw each no problem with price £30 per plate did not say anything did not want to make a seen the staff we're great food very disappointed chip salad one claw meat not great value very disappointed

The food was excellent - hake, mussels, scallops. The Pinot Grigio was fine but not chilled enough. The service was disappointing: the only visible waitress was texting behind the bar. So I went up and tried to order, to be told that it is table service only. I sat down. Then she took out a roll of sticky tape and repaired something. 5 minutes later she came to take our order..... Nice place, GREAT food, but the staff need a crash course on effective service.

Stopped in Torquay on business so looked for somewhere decent to get food. Wow fell right on my feet with Offshore 👍 Great friendly welcome wonderful array of drinks and a cracking menu. Keep doing what your doing Offshore it works ✔️

Fantastic food and very helpful

We chose Offshore based on good reviews and convenient location on the seafront. The restaurant is lovely inside however the service we received was poor. We had to attract the servers attention to order drinks and food after a lengthy wait once we were seated. When our food eventually arrived we still hadn’t received our drinks but were assured they were on the way. We were then basically ignored- none of the servers came near our table, we had to go to the bar to chase up our drinks, we weren’t asked how our meal was, we weren’t offered dessert/coffee and couldn’t attract anyones attention to get the bill so had to go to the bar to pay. I’d love to be able to say that despite this the food was good but sadly it was just mediocre

Excellent! Sat outside on a sunny Sunday afternoon listening to live music & we shared a few pizzas which were really nice! All the staff were lovely & it’s dog friendly too!

Lovely place to visit, amazing coffee, delicious food, lovely views and brilliant staff...all round excellent

Great breakfast 🍳 great service

100% fantastic for food, service and ocation

Lovely place on the marina, great atmosphere, staff friendly and helpful. Good selection on the menu, and food was tasty. We went there twice in 4 days for lunch.

Had breakfast and dinner here. Both times it was very good

We had a fabulous meal and the chocolate and coconut pudding was amazing. Service was very good would recommend.

Great breakfast, very attentive service

Love this place. Food was amazing. Staff are so friendly.

We were only there to drink. Well-stocked drinks menu. Nice service, very helpful and funny. I can only recommend the bar. It is also beautifully located at the harbor.

Lovely place to be lovely atmosphere food nice just lovely

Everything and anything about this place can make your heart feel happy. Best fish and chips , dock view, wonderful staff and variety of drink... you can't ask more

We were very lucky to get a table but so glad we did, the food was absolutely fantastic. We had some Chorizo Bites and Pork Belly as appetisers and they were delicious. For mains we both had the fish burger with homemade tartare sauce which was the best version I have ever had, portion size was perfect and the food was so fresh and tasty. The staff were amazing and the location is perfect for pre/post dinner walk along the front.

WOW..... late in in the evening, very hungry after a day in Llandudno, what do we find, an oasis, with amazing staff and great atmosphere, just what it is.

Lovely meal. Fantastic service. Definitely deserves a visit.

Food was great but attention from staff needs work. We were seated and given the drinks/food menu. Another couple were then seated about 10 minutes after us and were served drinks and their starters before anyone asked what we wanted to eat and drink. We ordered a bottle of Malbec which was delivered to the table next to us (who incidentally were still browsing the drinks/food menu and were surprised when it arrived on their table). Once we had finished our mains we sat waiting for someone to ask if we wanted any desserts or coffee or anything else. The rest of the restaurant had emptied so was just us and nobody came to speak to us at all. In the end we just asked for the bill, paid and left.

One of the staff members was so rude. If I could I would give 0 stars and they had a go at my grandchildren for drinking out of their own juice bottles and even when one of them was just holding it she had another go at them and the tuna mayo had massive sticks of butter on both sides, if I could I would give 0 stars I will never return.

Would absolutely return next time we visit Torquay, we were early for evening service but instead of being turned away like a lot of restaurants we welcome to sit at table have a drink promptly at 5pm our food order was taken we were promptly no long waits even in between courses, the food was delicious, the staff themselves were very warm and friendly, especially the young American lady absolutely lovely personality went above and beyond to help I think she may have been manager if not she would perfect at position just sorry I didn't remember her lovely but unusual name, thank you for making our day a bit more special

amazing food and great service! table service even when sat outside was speedy and attentive and the food was unreal, we had a margherita pizza and the catch of the day and they were both amazing, 100% recommend! reasonable prices too with a beautiful view !!

Went there on Wednesday there was a pushy woman who wanted to take your order before you sat down.

All in all a wonderful experience!!

Excellent from start to finish Service 5 star Food 5 star Clean Served in a timely manner Definitely recommend if you are close by call in

Popped in as we heard music playing and thought it would be a good stop off point on our way back to our apartment. Absolutely shocking bar service. We waited at the bar for over 15 minutes and eventually gave up and left. One bartender who didn’t have a clue. Drunk patrons who did not wait to be served but were happy to push in! Avoid.

I have visited Offshore on several occasions, it’s one of my favourite sun spots to sit and watch the world go by. I love their mocktails, so delightfully presented, the strawberry daiquiri is my favourite. They have local Devon Rock on draught, along with an abundant drinks menu, to suit every palate. The food is always fresh, delicious and full of flavour. The scallops were meaty, juicy and just melted in your mouth, paired with the maple and bacon butter - perfection. The chilli butter crevettes were stunning, such a treat, their seafood really showcases the best of the bay! The whole roasted market fish was so flavourful, freshly caught and beautifully dressed. The staff are always very friendly, attentive and welcoming. I will keep returning, Offshore is definitely a must visit in Torquay!

Excellent, really enjoyed this place. Not been before, walked past with the family and the menu looked good so thought we'd give it a go. So glad we did! Food was excellent, could not fault the flavours, presentation and portion size. Service was great too - quick, attentive and friendly - just what you need. Would thoroughly recommend the place!

Very nice place. Food was delicious, staff helpfull and professional. Definetly me and my family will pay a visit in our next hilidays. Cheers

It was getting windy and cold so we jumped into the offshore restaurant to shelter and have a meal,it ead busy and fully booked but we were given s table as other customers were just leaving,so we were lucky..the food and service were good but i found it was very expensive,and nothing really healthy,most of the menu was for fried food,or had butter in it,and i would have liked a normal salad with something chargrilled,but overall the food was fresh,and good quality ingredients.. i settled for fish stew with gluten free bread for a starter and a ploughmans for a main which lovely.

Lovely food but service really slow and they forgot about us a few times and others around us. Took a while to get a servers attention. Toilets really dirty .

We had the burger and the bacon and brie sandwich. Both were excellent, burger done exactly as I like, fries were excellent, the sandwich was first class.

Walked passed Offshore after our original choice was fully booked and dropped in. Offshore will now be our preferred choice every time. Amazing food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly happy staff.

Great place to while away time on the harbour with friends.

Lovely food and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Made great by friendly members of staff.

Only had tea. Some noise from nearby works. Tea not very hot and rather expensive. Nice location by marina.

Lovely sea view in the outside seating area. Dog friendly, staff polite, pleasant & friendly.

Good location. Pleasant atmosphere. Efficient service. Food overpriced.

Great location, really yummy food.

I stopped off here on my last day in Torquay before catching the train and going home. I ordered a Sausage, Bacon and Egg Chiabatta and have to say it was one of the most delicious breakfasts I have ever had. Nice Staff as well. Will definitely be back! A++

Lovely couple of pints in the sun 🌞 having a catch up with a friend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening here. Staff are very knowledgeable and reassuring about dietary requirements. Great location, only a short walk to Princess Theatre. Hope to be back soon.

Called in here for lunch, which was lush i recommend the duck salad, situated on the harbour so plenty of nice views and people watching to do

Wonderful place to eat, sat in the sun ..perfect!

What a wonderful place. The food is absolutely fabulous and well worth the money. We had two steaks tonight with a couple of sides and each dish was fantastic. We will be back....

Unfortunately we came when Euro was on which I don’t mind as England had just got through to semi-final but it was blaring and barman was glued to it! Not a lot of choice so picked pepperoni pizza and fish stew for partner. The pizza was like a frozen one and bland with hardly any pepperoni. The fish stew was lovely but quite dry and more like a starter! The saving grace for me was the Aforgato pudding but we would not return.

It's a great place. We had pizza with a taste of fresh ingredients and the Mocktails were delicious for a sunny day with a view of the harbour.

Great food. The scallops are divine, and the "fish catch of the day" is excellent. Also, a good selection of wines. Very good value.

Nice place to sit in the sunshine with a pleasant drink. Wonderful sandwich

Cool restaurant/bar by the marina. Good atmosphere, friendly staff, and good food. Outside seating to chill and relax.

Nice place, shame about the mandatory table service as we just wanted a drink and I'd rather go to the bar personally. Festival was great, should do more

Amazing place! Highly recommend the pork belly bites for starters! Would definitely revisit.

Drinks only on this occasion. Very good staff with a real sense of humour & banter along with very good service.

Really love it here. We come to torquay every year and always make this our first visit.

Really nice place. Nice food, very nice location and really good service.

Great place for a beer and relax. Great table service also. Reasonably priced

Dog Friendly, Warm and lovely staff. Good range of food and drink. Some tasty cocktails too!

Really nice pub. The staff were top notch and the service was excellent.

Half an hour wait for 3 drinks. Awful service.

Lovely food and service excellent

Me and my wife booked a table .we have never been there before it was our first time .as we were on holiday .the food was 10 out of 10.staff were very friendly and helpful .would definitely recommend this place to eat .if you have never been you won't be disappointed

Had a lovely meal this evening Wed's 12/06/2024... Whole sea bream was lovely and so were the muscles ... Would definitely recommend... And dog friendly.. Nice to be able to sit inside to eat....

We visited on Monday, the food was amazing. The service was great, very lovely waitresses. Nothing was too much trouble, would highly recommend!

Always a nice atmosphere, especially when the sun is out. The menu can be a touch pricey but the food is always really good so I suppose it reflects that! Nice drink selection too.

Everything and everyone is really nice. Good to bring your children!

Visited for lunch on 09/06. Starters and mains were all very nice and perfectly sized portions. We were seated in the back room which was nice, as a large party Great service as well and very accommodating. Didn't catch our main servers name

Great food although you have to pay upfront!

Had 2 sandwiches on brown bread. We cut our crusts off because they were inedible, i politely suggested they removed that loaf and got a fresh one. I was abruptly informed that all products are fresh. Really thats why i left half my dinner. Won't be back

Very dog friendly, good selection on menu, staff genuine

Slightly confusing outside table service but lovely bar with great views

They managed to accommodate us as a last minute walk in. Attentive and efficient service, the food was amazing. Our fussy eater daughter had the fish goujons from the children’s menu, it was cooked to perfection and she cleared her plate. Would highly recommend and hope to come back to try their breakfast menu

We were going to order food but it took them 15 minutes to even bring us our drinks order..when the drinks came the cider was completely flat! The staff have no idea of customer service and to be honest a couple of them looked completely doped out!

Great place..not easy to pay however as waiting staff had difficulty with card payments outside..better wifi needed maybe.

Lovely food, something a bit different. Would recommend.
