Wont rush back

Haven’t been here for a number of years snd visit most eating places from pubs to Seahorse and Angel . Saw reviews looked good which is reassuring after change of hands and as we had a Special occasion thought we would try Kendrick’s again. Put...it was a special occasion when booking online and must confess as everywhere was full should have twigged that there was plenty of availability when booking day before. What can I criticise ? Not a lot really. What can I rave about? Nothing really. It was ……. A bit of a non event. Everyone pleasant, food incredibly average , and not an iota of recognition that it was a special occasion. So can’t really complain in restaurant to anyone as it was just….. ok But that is not the point. We like eating out in Dartmouth, but not just to satisfy our hunger…. We can do that for a third of the price at home. Kendrick’s was boringly ok. Went to Bayards Cove for a coffee afterwards and there was a lovely atmosphere in there as usual . So Kendrick’s I am sure you will survive on the tourists in the summer , but people who live locally ……….More

One confused restauarant

We’ve been going here for many years so were a little worried when it changed hands earlier this year. We were really pleased that the new owner seemed to recognise a winning formula and pretty-much carried-on as before. Our visit this time however showed signs...that the place is losing sight of its strengths. The prices are fairly high these days - not outrageous but certainly not cheap. Having paid well over £95 for a mediocre meal, you can sit and read the new branding portraying locals and Devon people in general as thickos that can’t spell and just want cheap “grub”. If that were true, they certainly wouldn’t be going to Kendrick’s! The new artwork has surely been drawn by a child and drags the look of the place right down. It’s presumably trying to be quirky, but comes-over as scruffy and amateurish. The food was so-so but maybe this was just unfortunate when we were there. We ordered a nice bottle of wine from lower down the list. The cap was unscrewed and the bottle just ‘banged down’ on the table and left. Service actually went downhill from there to be honest. Overall then, still a good foundation - it hasn’t all been lost yet but the new owners really seem to need help to understand how to take the place forward. It can’t be branded the same as a campsite cafe where this approach might be more appropriate. The location, clientele and ambience need to be totally different. My best advice is that they remind themselves why it was so successful in the past, fitting well into Dartmouth and take their lead from that. Improve the service. Get the food back to a consistent standard. Remove the rude scribbles and phrases and employ someone that understands branding and reassert the place as a really good mid-range restaurant with great food and a lovely Dartmouth ambience.More

Very good in all respects

We have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Food is good, service is friendly, attentive and efficient. Recommend that you book in advance because it gets busy.

Busy.. Deservedly so..

We stopped in unannounced, and despite clearly being rushed off their feet, they managed to squeeze the two of us in. What a find this place is. We shared a baked brie starter.. (delicious.. wish we'd had one each). My wife had a blackened Salmon...main and I had a Monkfish and Prawn curry. Both delicious. We'll definitely be back next time we're down in Dartmouth.More

Mouthwatering.

Omg!!! We had the ribeye medium rare and it was spot on for both me and my partner. We also had the half rack of ribs to share and we polished them off too. The food was excellent and the staff were so attentive to...our needs. We had a picky lil lady with us too. They were patient and understanding. We will definitely come back again when visiting the area.More

Enjoyable visit

Lovely restaurant with friendly staff. We shared the fajitas which were lovely. Nice wine too. We ordered a side of coleslaw which was very small..we commented on this and when the bill came they told us they hadn't charged us for the coleslaw. Nice to...know the feedback was taken on board. Enjoyable visit..thank you 😊More

Great Bistro

Went for an evening meal, enterance is inviting and has a great bistro vibe. Staff friendly and attentive, with a great knowledge of the menu. Food came swiftly, and was of great quality, and tasted superb. One small bit of advice, DO NOT ORDER THE...FULL RACK OF RIBS UNLESS YOU ARE VERY HUNGRY, IT IS HUGE. Other visit on the cards when back in Dartmouth.More
