Plenty of choice of tapas and each one delicious. Good bread and olives to munch on while waiting. Closed for the next two months sadly but we will be back in the Spring.

Really amazing food, the patatas bravas were just the right amount of flavouring - and generous portions. Our server was very friendly and we were allowed to bring our dog as it was lunch time! Many thanks.
The food here is fantastic - we could have ordered the entire menu! Every dish was excellent. On top of that, the service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be returning!
We were visiting Lynton at the weekend and booked a meal for the Saturday night. The tapas was amazing and plentiful having booked three dishes each for the four of us. The staff were very friendly and the service was good. Will definitely return next...time we’re in Lynton.More
We very much enjoyed all of the tapas we were served. The meatballs and calamari were particularly good. 6 dishes was more than ample between 2. The wine was also very good as was the service, a lovely chap from Buenos Aries who looked after...us very well indeed.More
Last minute booking and we were welcomed with a smile and great service with amazing tapas and a delicious white Rioja! Everything was fresh and hot and beautifully presented, fabulous flavours and a great atmosphere! Thank you!!
We were visiting Lynton for one night only and the B&B we were staying in recommended this restaurant. We reserved a table a couple of weeks prior to our visit as we thought Friday evening might be busy. Glad we made the reservation it was...packed. The menu recommended 3 tapas dishes each, we chose Anchovy Tostadas, Calamari, Chicken Drumsticks, Prawns with Garlic and Lemon and Chargrilled baby gem lettuce. The star of the show for the 2 of us was the baby gem lettuce with blue cheese sprinkled on it, fantastic. All the dishes were full of flavour with the exception of the Tortilla which we felt was a little under seasoned. We chose a bottle of Tempranillo plus a couple of additional glasses at the end of the meal. The bill for all of this wonderful food and drink came to £78 excluding service, amazing value for money. This was the final night of our holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed our night, Kevin and Yana were great hosts and very hardworking. If it was our local we would be regular visitors for sure.More
A lovely restaurant, with nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and a good variety of dishes, as I am vegetarian. Thanks you!
Highly recommended, but worth booking as it gets popular. We shared 3 choices each between each couple as our tastes vary (it is possible to request minor variations eg no garlic or not too spicy; staff happy to advise). Dishes come as they are ready...so all hot but order can be random. Waitress made small error so we got double one choice, but we were not charged for second - but we ate it ! My favourite was olives wrapped in parma ham; I was reluctant to share !! Wine good. Prices reasonable. Staff very friendly & attentive.More
We visited whilst on holiday in Lynton and what a great find. Lovely welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made this a great evening. The tapas menu was varied and all the dishes were beautifully cooked. The dishes were nicely spaced and we had a lovely...relaxed experience. We had a range of dishes and chose 3 each which was plenty for two of us to share. We both agreed the pig cheeks was our favourite but the patatas aioli were great, we also had a lamb dish and hummus with roast peppers on crusty bread, Spanish omelette and a mixed salad. Good wines, also served by the glass, we couldn’t fault it. Tapas isn’t usually my partners thing but it was done so well if we’d stayed in the area longer we would have gone back.More
What a gem of a place! Fabulous food, excellent service, best meal out in 2023. Highly recommend the braised lettuce with blue cheese .. superb flavours and all dishes thoughtfully put together. Wish we lived nearer! Many thanks.
Lovely selection of tapas. The food and was service were excellent and the staff were so helpful and friendly. It is in a lovely setting and would highly recommend. Will definitely return the next time we visit Lynton.
Superb experience, impeccable service and food was awesome. We had already decided to visit this restaurant on a planned trip to Lynton with family and we weren’t disappointed. The staff are just lovely and welcoming and it was also very child friendly which was important...to us as we were with our Grandson. We had 10 dishes between the four of us and this was just right for lunch, my favourite was the potato bravas and the Gambas Pil Pil. I would highly recommend this restaurant and it was great value too! Thanks for a lovely experienceMore
Yarna+Kevin served us at the table. Yarna welcomed myself and my wife as we arrived yarna was professional friendly warm and sincere also well informed on the menu +drinks also she had a very good idea of our expectations she reacted quickly and in a...very friendly manner we never waited longer than 10seconds for extra drinks water or the bill. Serving food and drinks at the table were very timely. Sorry Kevin we haven't forgotten you KEVIN was every bit as good as yarna thxs Kevin. The food was as advertised on 'the oak rooms' website it was wonderful the wine we had was exceptional I had a riocha rose' my wife a dry well balanced white wine. The oak room is an exceptional example to all other restaurants particularly in relation to keeping customers very Happy. Well done and thankyou to all the staff at the oak room particularly yarna +Kevin!! Kindest regards WilliamMore
Chose this place as it was busy when we walked by so booked a table for two. Turned up slightly before our 2000 booking and were seated immediately and given menus. Good start. Unfortunately it goes downhill from there. Waited for 20mins before we were...spoken to again, after tables seated post our arrival, at which point we ordered the whole meal and drinks. 1 white wine, a bottle of beer and a bottle of water plus starter. Starters turned up about 10 mins later. It then took a good 30 mins after we had finished our starters for the waiter to come and clear the table at which point I assume the chef began to “cook” our main dishes. During this time 3 tables that had arrived after us were tucking into their meals. I admit they were bigger parties so obviously would be spending more money but that’s no excuse to ignore us. Then get our water. One hour and 5 mins into our timing and we eventually get 4 of the 6 tapas dishes we ordered. 10 mins later the 5th dish comes out. My wife mentions the missing 6th dish at this point, couscous, and we are told it’s on the way. Funnily enough, we’d finished all the other dishes since they began to arrive. The food was quite bland and not anything to write home about so frustrated that all the waiting around was not worth it. Another 10 mins go by before my wife has enough, cancels the couscous and asks for the bill. Literally less than 2 mins the bill is at the table and another minute afterwards the waiter arrived with the card machine. Fastest service all night! The waiter knew very little about the drinks on offer when asked about the wines and clearly there is minimal leadership or communication as both the waiter and waitress were literally serving the same tables instead of sharing the responsibilities. The larger parties were seen as a priority so us tables for two were ignored. Not a great experience, and will not visit again nor recommend. Poor atmosphere, poor service, poor food. Luckily didn’t ask for a tip!More
Dear Tom, thank you for taking so much of your time to write such an extensive review. We are glad we made you feel welcome on arrival (it was 7:45pm when you arrived for your 8:00pm booking). Right after you were sat down we had...More
