|We have eaten at Dick and Wills a number of times and had excellent food and wine on each occasion. This is a well run establishment, the owners are delightful, the food is local and fresh and the wine list is excellent. Our most recent visit was for a take away which was beautifully presented and delicious as usual. The burger and fish and chips were particularly good. Arrived on time, ready for collection and as usual we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff and it was excellent value.
Highly recommended and well worth a visit if you're in the Salcombe area.

Booked a reservation for my mother’s 60th birthday and were 15 minutes late after thinking that the reservation was later- we arrived to a locked door and had to wait for a customer to leave so that we could get in.

On entry, we were reprimanded for being late - even though it was an honest mistake. The man was so rude and made us all feel very uncomfortable.

The restaurant was half empty and it was clear that the owner wanted to close early.

We decided to leave and went to the South Sands Hotel. It was fantastic! If you want great customer service, I’d highly recommend that you go there instead of Dicks.

My family booked this restaurant as a surprise for my 60th birthday celebration in Salcombe. They had made the booking two months in advance. When we arrived at 8pm we found the door to the restaurant had been locked. We managed to get in as two people were leaving. When we booked in we were told by a very nice young lady that our table was for 7.30. The owner/Manager then very aggressively approached us and told us our booking was for 7.30 not 8pm and that he had tried to contact us by phone. We apologised and explained we thought it was 8pm. In a very rude manner he said he could show us the email if we didn’t believe him. The restaurant was very quiet with only one other table occupied. We accept we made a mistake but as it had been two months since making the booking my husband had forgotten the time and wrongly assumed it was 8pm. We then realised he had locked us out of the restaurant on purpose. It was obvious he wanted to close early and we were spoiling his plans. Had he explained in a courteous manner that we had missed our booking that would have been fine. However he was extremely rude and his manner was very abrasive. We left the restaurant which was probably what he wanted but we were able to have a better meal with a better menu choice, friendly service and a much nicer ambiance at the South Sands Hotel. This gentleman needs to understand that mistakes do happen. We were very apologetic and accepted responsibility however his customer service was less than zero. Restaurants like this in holiday resorts don’t really care about customer experience as their customers come and go. But there are many restaurants in Salcombe so I would recommend this one should be left as a last resort as he has clearly shown that your custom is worth nothing.

Nice venue and nice setting - I presume that's what we were paying for that rather than the food. The menu sounds interesting but execution was about average. Small portions (frito misto was about 6 small pieces - a bit of a shock compared with Italian restaurants), and the "Asian salad" was more like an undressed coleslaw as mainly cabbage and carrots (same as the salad base of the beef salad starter) and not much beef. King prawn and squid starter - more like little princes and not much flavour. The mains at £25 do not come with any sides - so to get a enough to eat is £30 main course. I wouldn't mind if the food was good or plentiful - but this was barely average.

We booked a table at short notice and was accommodated. Excellent service by Izzy and was only her second day in the job. We would have scored higher but was fairly rushed and the food was small for the cost of the bill. The presentation was lovely mind you and it was tasty
