Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Another superb night at this unique place. This time we brought friends who were staying - one in the restaurant business who was very impressed indeed!

We had a great night at Lobster lounge last night. My friends had been before but it was my first time visiting. The atmosphere was lovely, candles everywhere and a cosy romantic vibe. The restaurant remembered that we’d booked with one person needing gluten free...and brought a gluten free menu without us having to ask. There were loads of gluten free options and the waiter was really careful to double check which things we wanted to order as gluten free, which I really appreciated. Everything we had was delicious, the portions aren’t huge but they were definitely enough. There are a mix of tapas type dishes and larger signature dishes, as well as some specials. My favourite was probably the beetroot with goats cheese and truffle, the creamy saffron rice with squid was also delicious, the patatas bravas were very unique and much more special than the usual mountain of potatoes you get when ordering patatas bravas, almost like a crispy layered version. Wine was available as 1000ml and came in an authentic tapas style jug. Overall a lovely evening, thanks for looking after us.More

Fantastic - we have been many times and love the vibe, the service and great tapas but tonight we tried the experience tasting menu along with the wine paring. Absolutely amazing - food was superb (thank you chefs Louis and Emily - your passion for...food was evident) Ebony was a great host and so knowledgeable about the wine which was delicious and went perfectly with the food. Cannot recommend enough.More

Booked for my wife’s birthday, never disappointed always satisfied. So good to be able to choose dishes from a menu far apart from anything else on offer in Teignmouth. The food is always perfectly cooked and well presented, not the biggest menu but ideal for...the size of the place. Plenty of choice drinks wise and again different options to other places in town. We are always made to feel welcome and a valued customer not just someone who is there to spend money. Well worth a visit if you’ve never been before. Keep up the great work guys.More

Fantastic tapas, really good. Many are as good as starters you get in to notch restaurants, others, the more traditional ones you find in Spain. Good cocktails too.

We came last Saturday for the first time - a regular visitors to Teignmouth we had never been before. The vibe is very cosy and romantic. The staff were very friendly and informative. Food was good but feel like a few dishes were lacking flavour...such as the lamb flatbread and the lobster arancini, also the squid came with no dip and this was a bit tasteless. The rest of the food was delicious and the cocktails and wine were great. Only thing i would say is we waited nearly an hour just to order food - this is way too long, we were starving and had to actually call the waiter for assistance in the endMore

This place is simply fantastic, there is so much care from the service team because they are supported by a frankly outstanding kitchen. When you visit Teignmouth, you must eat here and you must explore the menu, this food is seriously good.

We had an early booking of 6:30 but it was already packed out. We were sat in a bench table near the loo which is not very romantic seeing as we booked for our anniversary. That’s the only negative. The tapas was incredible. Love how...the food is brought out randomly one at a time so we got to each each plate super hot! Mushroom croquettes and Patattas brava were delicious, hats off the the chef. Lobster was very pricy and well cooked but not enough meat for two to enjoy at all. So disappointing as was the reason we chose the lounge. The bramble cocktail is the best ever. The winning combination of the place was Dante Wolf and his mesmerising guitar music. If he is there when you visit you are in for a treat. Over all, we enjoyed and would hugely recommend but ask for a better table!More

We came here a few months ago and it was amazing. The next time we brought guests for cocktails which was a delight. This time - couldn’t believe there was room for improvement but the dinner, the cocktails, the ambiance and the service were second...to none. Make this your first priority on a visit to TeignmouthMore

Just great service, cocktails and tapas. A special evening out with a cool vibe. Apparently they have a band in on a Sunday afternoon. Hope to catch it!

Incredible spot! It is hands down my favourite restaurant/place to eat, the food is absolutely insanely delicious! Probably the most silent meal I have ever eaten as me and my mum were just blown away by the food and it would ruin the experience of...enjoying the most delicious dishes ever by speaking. The service is impeccable, the staff were so lovely, welcoming and attentive without ever being overbearing. It was my mums birthday and we were there to celebrate and the staff made sure she/we felt very special and looked after. They also do fantastic cocktails and mocktails, truly everything is done superbly. I will without a doubt be coming here again as often as I can and recommend it to everyone! You simply must try it!!More

We are regulars to the Lobster Lounge. I wanted to write a review as I feel that this restaurant just keeps getting better. the food is nicer than any I’ve had and the service is efficient. You are made to feel very welcome. The Manager...is very passionate and is always keen to make sure you are happy. It’s a place to go to chill, tapas come out when prepared and it’s a pleasure to soak up the atmosphere whilst waiting. Definitely a place to return.More
