Twenty1 in Torbay

A nice gem overlooking the harbour open all year round with a great atmosphere and staff who are friendly And professional. There is live music on occasion which is always good. Quality are very welcome and evening there is a fantastic vibe.

Today food not as good as last time two weeks ago for Sunday roast portions seem smaller needs more veg as well , staff very slow today but still nice food

Fantastic food, wonderful location! Went for the wife’s birthday who had a great time, big shout out to Freddie our waiter who looked after us brilliantly, would recommend, we will be back

Had a Sunday roast here last week, food was excellent I had the 'i'll have it all' the food was honestly top notch felt like I'd had a Christmas dinner at home, service was good bit slow on the drinks/extra roasties and expected a bit more from the £5 extra pigs in blankets but overall happy, resteraunt area is really nice, only thing I found with me and the other 3 in my party was that we were all very thirsty and kept drinking pints of water in the later afternoon/eve so possibly the foods a bit heavy on the salt.

Food was amazing, best Tapas I've tasted in while, really big portions, staff friendly and really nice, ambience really good, just a really nice place to have food, most importantly our dog was made very welcome which to us is very important.

Fred out server was good vibes, polite & attentive. Food was yummy but Fred made it a 10/10

FRED IS GREAT HE MADE MY EVENING. I’m moving to Australia and he made me not want to leave x

Fred was absolutely amazing, made sure the glasses were full, really made the evening

Always been a bit nervous of Tapas because I never know how much to order. Answer 5 plates for two here & you will be full & very happy. Love the atmosphere, very reminiscent of Mallorcan bars.

Excellent service and food highly recommend

Nice enough but lacking good vegan options

Brilliant food service is impeccable. What a delight to have dined here twice during our stay.

I celebrated my 60th last night. 24 08.24 absolutely fantastic could not pick any fault what so ever everything was lovely, we had the grazing boards yum yum yum , we had grazing boards for 20 to 35 people and there was plenty of food , delicious.

Oh my what a wonderful place to eat. Best meal I’ve had in a while

We had a great time and an awesome dinner. The staff was lovely. We enjoyed various tapas with also vegetarian options. 100% percent recommendation.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Went here Saturday night and sat on the balcony as table of 4. We arrived early and was shown to ‘The Naughty Corner’ for drinks while we waited for our table. Shown to our table and introduced to Freddie who was our waiter, very polite, very helpful and made the stay even better. Head of house was also very helpful friendly and made us all feel very welcome. Food and drink was fantastic and all in all fabulous night had by all. Will definitely return again soon

Great food, brilliant location, lovely service!

Smart yet casual dining. Very welcoming and yummy small plates.

Dirty plates! Poor service!! Never again!

No wonder this place has such a good rating. We ordered Honey Haloumi Bites, BBQ wings, garlic bread, king prawns and many different cocktails - everything was insanely delicious and surprisingly not expensive. To top it all off, we were lucky that on a weeknight there weren't too many people and we sat on the balcony - there's a gorgeous view of the seafront. 15/15

Literally can't say enough about how great this place is, some of the best food ever eaten and the service was top notch 👌

On Saturday 27-July, the manager on the day brilliant customer service got us sitted, great food and just spot on. /Went to 21 on Sunday 2 October. Brilliant service by this guy. Food was very good and size was good to. Just think the prices are slightly high. But I'm going back.

Lovely day out for lunch with the kids. Would definitely recommend. The food was awesome.

Really good food , the katsu cod is great . Can sit inside or out both nice . Not the cheapest but the food is worth it . You won’t be disappointed

We booked for a lunch and were delighted with very friendly welcome. The food service staff all have good hospitality skills and big smiles. Lovely views across marina. The tapas dishes were reasonably priced, good portion sizes, tasty but not very hot and a tough chicken on the salad. However a good venue.

We usually eat here when we visit Torquay. The menu has changed since our last visit. We had the garlic bread to start and then the sliders, we also had milkshakes and chocolate brownie. All the staff were friendly and polite. We would visit here again if we were in Torquay.

Amazing food, cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend.

We booked really late on friday afternoon, and were given a table on the upstairs balcony, stunning views and delicious food, and attentive service we had a really enjoyable evening !

Excellent party venue ! We recently held my sister’s hen do at Twenty 1 in the garden bar. It was very easy to communicate with Ian over email who was very accommodating and happy to answer any queries over the phone or email. The space was really beautiful - ideal for a hen do as we were able to play some games without disturbing other guests! We really liked some of the additional touches such as being able to use the tv screen for displaying photos and we were able to use this for a video as well. The grazing board package with welcome cocktail was ideal for our group and we were able to order additional food items on the day too. The bar staff were really accommodating on the day as well. Thank you Ian and team!

Great value lunch, perfect location and friendly staff

We went on a Saturday night and it was jam packed with youngsters and was loud and noisy. Great fun with great vibe. The food and cocktails were excellent and we had a lovely time. We were probably the oldest people there but I would strongly recommend this place as it’s a fun place to go for a night out.

We had lunch here before travelling home from Devon. The tapas dishes are generous and absolutely delicious. Children’s menu also really reasonably priced and good quality food. Beautiful position overlooking the harbour and very friendly staff. Toilets were clean and loved the decoration! Throughly recommend and wish we lived closer.

Loved this place! Perfect for a special birthday celebration! Excellent service- friendly and helpful. Excellent food. Beautiful view across the bay and even a rain cover for the shower! Lovely size venue, well laid out for everyone I would recommend.

Had Dan serving me in the naughty corner and he made our night. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend 21 to anyone!!

Thought we’d give this place a try whilst staying in Torquay for a couple of nights because the reviews on Trip Advisor were so good. We were worried it might be full of people drinking on a Friday evening and we had the children with us, but we went about 6pm and it was fine. There were people just having drinks, but it was a good atmosphere and the service was really good. We had the tapas and it was delicious. Children loved their food and we had a really nice evening, so would definitely recommend.

I went for the first time last night!! 28/4 Food was amazing. Cocktails were made to perfection, best cocktails Iv had. attention to detail. Staff was very helpful and so friendly!! I will defiantly return and highly recommend. Thanks to all the staff and the chef for the lovely food and the great cocktails by the bar staff!

Came in for cocktails with a friend, the manager Eva recommended the lemon martini which is one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had, definitely coming again

Came in here on a mid week evening with my partner. The staff were so welcoming, we had tapas and cocktails. Food was amazing! Cocktails were so good! Definitely will return and recommend to our friends and family

Good food, good vibes. Only ever been here for drinks before, but a really pleasant evening on the tapas/fries menu. Great service.

Great food and great service, bar staff were very accommodating and super friendly

Came here for Cocktails. Best I’ve had in a while! We had cocktails from the new menu. Jaz our waiter recommended the Drag Queen, lemon Martini cocktail and the Lychee Mojito! They were so unusual but definitely worth it! 100% would return

Average service, average cocktails. Nice place atmosphere not bad. Popped to the toilet and came down the stairs to drama, as they thought I ran off without paying 😂

Delicious food, although expensive and portion sizes, is quite small. However, it is still worth a visit.

The manager was very intimating accusing us of non payment, chasing after us in front of other diners and visitors to Torquay. Having paid and leaving a tip. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!

Such a nice place,great service and amazing food!

This was our second visit and Twenty1 delivers again! Service is great. KFC, Bravas, Hallumi bites from new Tapas menu are yummy. New dragonfruit mocktail is soothing. I had also liked the pineapple ginger punch from previous menu.

Visited twice while in Torquay. Once on friday night for drinks and live music. New Daze were brilliant and the wine list great. Visited a second time for an exceptional sunday lunch Service was fantastic, food was exceptional. Would recommend and will absolutely be returning.

Priced highly at £21.00 and based off recommendations, we were expecting good things from Twenty1's Sunday lunch, however; it turned out to be the worst we had all ever had. Our pigs in blankets were practically oinking at us, they were so undercooked. The roast potatoes to be blunt, were rank. They were rock hard, had zero seasoning and just tasted of oil. The cauliflower cheese was bone dry and had no sauce, just a tiny amount of grated cheese on top which was black and burnt. The stuffing portion was tiny, a little bit bigger than a £2.00 coin. Gravy was served in a tiny teapot, which just didn't work as it comes out soooo slowly. When we brought this all to the attention of the staff (apart from the gravy teapot), we were told our comments would be passed to the kitchen, that was it. No offer of a slight bill adjustment or even a complementary drink. We clearly heard several tables around us also complain. I'm thinking they might have had temp kitchen staff in day, as the food was so poor and looked nothing like pictures posted online. One of our party emailed Twenty1 once home and unfortunately that email has been ignored, this demonstrates pretty poor customer service. Establishments will have their off days and food quality will sometimes dip, however; it's how management deal with these comments that determine return custom and positive recommendations.

Absolutely brilliant night. Staff were friendly and the band was amazing.

Good atmosphere with live music from Emma Pick!!

The atmosphere is very good and the staff are friendly. Give it a try.

I went to eat here... once I seen there was dogs in the place I was put off... I will not eat where there is dogs... you may love dogs and customers may love their dogs but there are still people who dislike them and will not eat around them. I find dogs owners the most dirtiest people on earth.. There's also been so many dog attacks I'm surprised they sre not banned from everywhere and establishments that serve food should be more like weatherspoons... I'm fed up with dog owners taking their dogs everywhere like they are babies snd can't stay at home. I think all places thar serve food should have a ban on dogs being allowed in as it only take one hair of any animals to contaminate food and the amount of staff that also stroke dogs without washing hands is terrible. I'll stick to the balmoral hotel which serve great food and no dogs allowed and on the plus side for over 18s.

We went away for the weekend to Torquay and decided to visit this place for dinner,we hadn't booked but they were kind enough to fit us in with no fuss,I'm glad they did as the food wqs amazing the service was spot on and staff so friendly and helpful we are so glad we they found a table for us.

Well this was very nice. We wandered around the harbour looking for somewhere for a couple of drinks and a bit of food and came across Twenty1. Food was great, a little expensive, but not extravagantly so, and they served beer and cocktails. Great view of the harbour. Nice vibes. What’s not to like!

Visited with my husband for Valentine's Day and everything was outstanding. Amazing food, entertainment and service. Thank you 😊

We went here on a Saturday night for some cocktails with a little group. It was very nice, really good atmosphere and despite it being busy, plenty of places to sit. I congratulate the owners on returning the classy side of Torquay night life back to the harbourside.

Visited on a busy Saturday. Fantastic food and atmosphere. Hats off to the chefs as those dishes were outstanding! The Korean Pork was stunning and the Steak was cooked perfectly! There was also a good selection of alcohol-free drinks as well. The staff were friendly and attentive. We didn't feel rushed at all. Very enjoyable evening all round.

Headed here for lunch, First impressions looked good and it's dog friendly which is great! I'm always apprehensive as sometimes places look nice and trendy but the menu or service let's them down. However this place NAILED it. The team were all lovely and helpful nothing felt too much trouble, It felt genuine not forced. Ordered some tapas style food and a children's meal deal. Food and drinks arrived quickly. The food was really tasty and good quality. The team were really helpful They got my daughter a colouring sheet and crayons and brought over dog treats. Overall left very impressed and will be back for sure!

Twenty1 Cocktail Lounge and Restaurant offers a relaxing dining experience with its views of Torquay harbor. The chic ambiance, coupled with an extensive cocktail menu, creates an inviting atmosphere. The diverse Tapas menu featuring delicious culinary creations is a delightful journey for the taste buds. Each dish is a small masterpiece, showcasing a fusion of flavors and culinary creativity. From the perfectly seasoned cauliflower bhaji to the succulent satay chicken, the variety is impressive. The attention to detail and high-quality ingredients elevate the entire dining experience, making the Tapas menu at Twenty1 a true delight. Add all this to an Impeccable service makes it a must visit for those seeking a memorable dining experience by the waterfront.

Couldn’t fault the food or atmosphere will be back for sure!

Great stop for dinner. Came here on Friday night for a girls night! We had a range of different tapas to share. Food was amazing. Great cocktails. Awesome atmosphere! Will definitely keep returning and recommend

Food and service was good! Would go again!

Came in for cocktails on a Monday evening. Great drinks, service and atmosphere. Amazing the atmosphere they create here even in the quiet January months. Definitely will return for food. And great drinks

Thanks to everyone at Twenty1 for a fabulous New Year celebration. Best espresso martini's I've ever had!

Absolutely top quality from start to finish Food was superb as were the staff Would recommend to anyone

We had our work Christmas party here last night. Everyone commented on how great the food was and plenty of it. The staff were lovely (particularly the young lady who usually works in Brixham, sorry I didn’t get your name). Ian was also very attentive, checking in to make sure everything was up to scratch. Thank you so much, we will be back!

Had our works Christmas party for 18 people. We had buffet style dinner, plenty of food, which was very tasty. Staff really attentive. Excellent service, booked again for 2024. Highly recommended.

We were made so welcome by Harry R and the team. Super reception drinks. All food courses were superb with fantastic variety. Thank you for a stellar evening. We will be back next year if not sooner. Thank you. XX

Absolutely fantastic roast! It was delicious, staff were lovely & very attentive. Will definitely be returning in the very near future!

Came here to have a meal for my friends 30th birthday. Service was very attentive and food was delicious. Brandon and Gary made our night. We didn’t realise there was live music and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We will be back !

A favorite of ours is this urban, rustic aesthetic and vibrant venue! The food never disappoints and the service is certainly the cherry on top! Eva and Rebecca were both equally very accommodating and attentive

Great food. Brilliant tapas Service was mixed. Mia was fab the lady on the front not so much Food and drinks 5 star Loved it

Best Sunday Roast we’ve ever had! Food and drinks are always lovely here, staff are so friendly, we love coming here :)

Sunday roast was incredible, staff so friendly and the food is amazing. My girlfriend and I come back here all the time, it’s our favourite spot in Torquay for food and drinks.

Another lovely afternoon at Twenty1. Friendly attentive waitress and lovely touch putting balloons on the table being a Birthday. Banging Roast as always!

Couldn't fault the food -- it was superb! What we disagree with, was how we were made to feel like second-class citizens/ cheapskates based on what we ordered. We came in on a Sunday (29.10.23) around 4:30. Hadn't booked but saw they did a roast until 18:00. All they had was two of the four roasts left, which was understandable, given the time. What we didn't like was that me and my wife ordered the large roast made of all meats to share, as they all come with a veg sharing board. The waitress said "I'll have to check with the chef as it's a table for two and he has a reputation to maintain". We couldn't just order this dish and were made to order the £5 side of extra pigs in blankets, despite the original dish already having them! We couldn't finish our food as we were stuffed. We go to many independent restaurants and have never been dictated to what we can/can't eat. If they didn't want our business, just tell us! We still ordered a couple rounds of pints and were considering dessert until the way we were made to feel. Moral of the story; don't judge a customer at the start! We moved on elsewhere in Torquay.

Had pizza for lunch with a glass of red, all very nice...have been many times so that says something I think

Came here for dinner with my partner, had dishes from the tapas menu. Food was amazing, and staff were very friendly. Restaurant was very clean & had a nice atmosphere.

Lovely spot for a romantic cocktail with views over the harbour. Friendly staff and dogs are treated as guests and made welcome.

Very good food. Love this place! Much better than any other restaurant around that area! Must go and try there food! Lots of drink options! Really friendly serves!

Such a lovely meal and drinks with family. Mya our waitress was fab. Food was unreal. We will certainly be back. Thank you for a wonderful evening

Great cocktails! We stopped in for a few drinks in the evening and it was a lovely experience. Nice and bright room with a lovely view, music playing just loud enough to be enjoyable without being unable to talk, and the staff were attentive and helpful. Also, the cocktails were amazing! I had the El Diablo and the Lemon Meringue Martini and they were very strong and tasty- perfect cocktail in my book!

We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere in Torquay and decided to dine at Twenty1 for both dinner and drinks. Connor, who served us, was exceptionally friendly and provided us with fantastic suggestions for local activities. The food was outstanding, and the cocktails were among the finest we've ever had. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience, giving it a perfect 5 star rating.

Brilliant bar with great atmosphere

Very trendy place for food and drinks. Prices are reasonable 👍

I think this will be the most glowing review I've ever made because the place itself is FLAWLESS! It had everything you could possibly want from an eatery; great views, good food, attentive staff and a stunning place all round. I shall start from the beginning - the website. Super easy to navigate, very informative, on trend, clean looking and uncluttered. I particularly liked the comments section where you could write whatever you thought would be useful for the staff at Twenty1 (and they do actually read the comments written! I had requested a table that wasn't in too much of a busy area due to small children accompanying me on this evening). The restaurant went above and beyond by sitting us upstairs, which I highly recommend sitting here as you have the views but also closest access to the toilets which are a corridor away. Again, fantastic start to our meal! Next are the staff, we had the pleasure of being served this night by a lovely waitress who wore her hair in a plait and was so welcoming and complimentary. Nothing was too much trouble, she gave great recommendations for us to accompany the meals we ordered, great with our children and not too overbearing because after all, who wants to eat somewhere with someone constantly hovering? She nailed her job on this evening. Thirdly the food, I've never been as blessed as I was on this occasion to see so many tantalizing dishes within my reach. There were so many choices and each looked as appetizing as the last. Our food was served promptly but still fresh and full of flavour. My compliments to the chef, I definitely did not regret what I ordered, only that I couldn't go back for more after. The only slight disappointment was in the dessert, I ordered a brownie and it just was not up to standard compared to the freshly made cheesecake or the moist sliders that I had sampled prior to tucking into my own dessert. Such a shame! But none the less it doesn't take away from the stunning starters and delectable mains we had already eaten. And just to add, the cocktails are amazing also! Such a variation, I had only sampled the berry-colada which tasted like heaven. A little alcoholic/berry/milkshake/frothy mixture served in a Tiki glass and it was good to the very last drop. Lastly the establishment itself, located right at the front of the docks and tucked away between a multitude of competition lies Twenty1. The family friendly restaurant with a private cocktail bar on the top floor, ocean/dock views complete with the site of Torquay's large Ferris wheel which is breathtaking to see at night, this is surely a one of a kind place to be. With it's rustic fusion on trend interior, heading up the stairs to the first floor you will see glass panels on the floor that are lit by barrels and fairy lights. Heading up the stairs you'll see puns of famously written songs decorating the base to this floor, complete with a balcony to which you can take in all this beautiful city has to offer (and the doors to the balcony do close so you won't need to worry on colder days of getting chilly). Opposite the dining area on this level are the 3 toilets which are unisex and extremely clean when you take into consideration how many people must use them simultaneously. And then next to them you have the kitchen door, where the magic happens! Unfortunately I didn't get to experience the top floor so I am unable to comment but I'm sure that was just as spectacular as the rest of the venue. So if you're in Torquay, I can't recommend Twenty1 enough, go ahead and treat yourself, your date, your family, whomever! Because you won't regret it!

Our third visit was just as good as the first two. Warm welcome and thankfully a free table available, light bite, and a nice bottle of wine. Lovely view of the harbour. Pulled pork tacos sensational, thank you James for finding a spot for us, you're a star ❤️

The best maitre de James, such a wonderful host, he really.made our evening. Food was excellent and the cocktails were sublime. Thanks James x

Great welcome and atmosphere as always. The food, delicious and so beautifully presented. James was super helpful, kind and made our evening! Thanks James and the Twenty1 team. We'll be back. Can't wait for the Christmas menu!!!

Great atmosphere and lovely food. The staff are excellent. James was exceptionally helpful regarding my food allergies.

A little gem.... Great Asian food with a great view. Just off the barbican in Plymouth... perfect with parking

Slow service when we visited, but food was good. Our table for five wasn't well laid out, but we lived with it.

Fantastic setting for tapas Beautiful place. We pre booked online as we knew it was popular Staff were really friendly and very efficient. Service was smooth too. Food was so tasty and really well presented. Would definitely recommend

The very helpful door staff found us a table for five despite being very busy. Our meal was excellent and service was good.

Lovely good we highly recommend the tapas, their was 2 of us so picked 5 items from the menu , absolutely gorgeous food and the service was incredible, especially the lady with the tattoos unfortunately didn’t get her name, will defo visit again.

Great spot for dinner! I came here with my mum on a Tuesday evening. We had three of the tapas and a starter to share. All food was great! Best I've had for a while. Our waitress Lisa was very attentive and had a great...

Sitio muy agradable para cocktails. La comida (tipo pizza y similar) muy buena en su estilo. Muy recomendable.

Just had the most horrendous experience when the glass fell out of the bottom of my husbands glass spilling the drink all over the table and himself. The waitresses told us this had happened before, and whilst they apologised and his clothes were clearly stained...

Stop at the restaurant as it look nice . We had a tapas and I can say the food is as nice as the restaurant looks . The staff friendly and helpful . I think this is my favourite place to eat in Torquay and...

Great food and as ordered. Tasty and the staff were attentive. Food was hot enjoyable along with the company.
