Taylor's Restaurant — Restaurant in South Hams

Be aware: We were staying in a accommodation that had overbooked, which meant that we had to leave one day earlier than expected. We had no alternative but to drive home - we couldn't just hang around Dartmouth with nowhere to stay. We gave Taylors as much notice of cancellation as we got of having to leave, but Taylors charged us £40 for the cancellation. It was half-term week and every other restaurant we had been to prior to this had been fully booked - signage outside - so I would imagine that our table for 2 would have been filled. It just sticks in the craw getting punished for something completely beyond your control.

In answer to your response: There is no point discussing it because there hasn't been a misunderstanding. Its not like we didn't show up. We gave you as much written notice as we had, when we were suddenly told to vacate our double-booked accommodation. I just wanted to bring to potential customers attention that if: They might be involved in a car accident OR One of their group might fall ill OR Weather issues might cause transport issues OR like us, we had to depart our accommodation unexpectedly because it had been double booked, THEN, they will forfeit a minimum of £40 - for 2 persons (more for a bigger party). This is just a warning that if a life event happens, and don't they just happen at the most inopportune times, then they are going to be gifting you £40 minimum to keep the Range Rovers purring over. This really spoilt a lovely break to say 'goodbye' to Dartmouth as a result of stage 4 metastatic bowel to lung cancer. Rockfish was great. Bayards Cove Inn was great. The highlight restaurant fined and punished us. I wish you all the success...

I could wax lyrical about Taylor's Restaurant, across the street from the boat float in Dartmouth. The beauty of the restaurant itself; the utterly remarkable staff; the equally remarkable, beautiful food; but I won't. I have visited this restaurant several times over the years, sadly because of geography not as often as I would like; so I'll simply say this .... Taylor's Restaurant is a very, very special place; if you possibly can, make a reservation, and go there. Take with you someone who means the world to you, and everything will come together to make it an experience neither of you will ever forget. And, if humanly possible, have a table at the bay window, looking out and across to the river Dart. Sheer magic. True beauty, in everything that they do, and the way they will...

We were visiting the area and booked before attending.What a great place to eat.We were met by staff and couple of covid checks and then taken upstairs the decor was very grown up.Staff were friendly,professional and social distancing was used were possible. The food was great but possibly a little expensive but the experience was great. We both had the crab which was great and piping hot though the portion was quite big we both had difficulty finishing it.My partner had fillet mignon and he said it was beautiful and I had the lobster again was beautiful. Sadly we didn't have room for dessert. Would go...
