Upper Deck — Restaurant in East Devon

We live in Sidmouth and I wanted somewhere different for my husband’s birthday. I decided on The Upper Deck after seeing the menu on line. We ate there yesterday for lunch and from the friendly greeting to paying the bill the whole experience was just great. The food was amazing (smoked salmon to start- my foodie husband asked what the tasty dressing on the salad was). My main was the ravioli, my husband had the sea bream. All delicious. The service was great too. I would highly recommend. NB we saw the afternoon tea and cakes being served to other tables, I think...

First thing we noticed as we sat down was how filthy the seating was. You weren’t exactly spoilt for choice on the menu. As for the fish and chips, the cod still had its skin on, and it tasted terribly sea-like/brine. Chips were basically greasy starch fingers. For dessert a hiccup on one of the desserts had us wait even longer than anticipated until it was chased up, which simultaneously compromised the state of the other desserts we ordered whilst they must’ve been left out on the side. Patience was thin so we just accepted the situation. Not...

If it wasn't for this place, the entire weekend n Sidmouth would've been a tragedy. Luckily, I don't like to book dining ahead when staying away until I can SEE what's available,as we stayed next door at the Victoria (go check my review there) and the food was BLEH.

I'd made this reservation and I'm SO GLAD I did. Although the mussels weren't available, the meal was amazing. Even had my husband (sworn seafood hater) indulging in scallops!

From start to finish (with the Dark Chocolate tart)...no complaints here.
