"I went in here for a drink quiet recently and it's was alright staff were friendly I met a few people I knew from antique stores. I never go here on a Friday or Saturday night too much hassle. I live in torquay however I check with the people I know who also use this bar and I do agree with them that food can be hot and miss whether u get a good meal or not. I disagree with others who have left reviews saying this bar is dirty its actually tidy compared to most in torbay. I know most of their staff in here although I keep myself to myself as much as possible. I find their fruit machines are fair and win fairly often on them. I love the atmosphere in here and sometimes come in with my old grandad who loves a hot chocolate every now and then. I know my grandad wants to try your fish and chips one Friday but don't know when but hopefully he will enjoy it. I know your in tough competition when The babbacome inn do a fantastic cod and chip so we'll see who's best I guess... lets hope it's still a five star review after trying it... I believe to make proper reviews u got to try the drinks for a start see the staff serve u are polite and friend can have a laugh and of course at least once or twice try the food I did have a curry in here once I didn't rate at all but do try good at least twice in any pub or restaurant in torquay before u truly judge it thats why there will be another review coming if my meal not up to standand next time I have it in yates with my grandad."

"We wish we had visited this restaurant earlier in our holiday and will definitely make it our go-to spot for future vacations! We had walked past this place many times over the years without ever going in, but during this holiday we saw a sign for Wood Fired Pizzas and decided to give it a try. We received a lovely warm welcome from Sylvia, who seated us by a window with a beautiful view of the sea. The service was excellent and our pizzas were delicious. Sylvia even let me sample the Annings cider before I ordered, which ended up being my favorite drink for the whole holiday. The atmosphere and decor were much nicer than it appeared from the outside. We booked a table for another evening and were thrilled to be seated by the window again as we had requested. Sylvia welcomed us back and recommended the Pork Schnitzel, which was also delicious. Reg (I believe, based on the receipt) provided excellent service as well. The entire staff was very attentive. The desserts were also delicious. They have tables outside on the veranda, where many people were enjoying the nice weather. The restaurant is dog-friendly, which led us to strike up conversations with other diners while petting their dogs. The restaurant and toilets were clean. We enjoyed a few drinks after our meal each time because we loved the atmosphere. Thank you to Sylvia and the staff for the fantastic food and service. We hope to visit again on future holidays! - Julie and Dave"

"Our last night in Brixham and we were undecided as where to go... Having read a few reviews and initially having our doubts we decided to chance The Old Market House. We arrived around to be told seating only downstairs as they were awaiting...staff and also no food until Now my first instinct was to leave and find another restaurant with having hungry children in the group. I was assured of a nice table upstairs at so we decided to stay and look forward to the views over the harbour while dining. Our children and mother in-law had fish chips, the wife and I had steak pie while the father in-law, who had wanted mussels all week went for the mussels. Our pies were really nice, a full pie with a bottom not a stew with a lid, the Broccoli was cooked to perfection with tasty mash. The fish and chips for the children were also very good, mother in-laws fish filled the plate and resembled a small whale Gluten free too with crunchy curled up batter! Now father in-law, who eats out a lot, got delivered a huge dished plate of mussels with what seemed loaf of crusty bread and chips. On finishing the lot and in his own words The best he has ever spent on a plate of food'. We were all very happy with our meals and agreed that over the nights where we'd ate out, this was undoubtedly the best. I will agree with some reviews that the drinks are a little pricey but I think the food makes up for this. Bit to much work for one waitress to do on her own, as we waited a little while for main plates to be removed, but then I guess you don't know what an out of season Tuesday night is going to bring. All the same thanks very much for such a good experience."

"The food from Jade Palace is always excellent but the wait time and service is terrible. During lockdown we had our order delivered accepting that we never knew when it would arrive. During the summer we opted to collect but even though we telephoned our order, and were given a time to collect, it became apparent that our food was only cooked once we had waited in a queue to pay for it and we still waited approx an hour outside the shop for our order. This was not so bad with dry light summer nights. Not so much fun in the wet and dark!!We accepted that New Years Eve would be busy but it was something else. Arriving at 6.20 we waited to order food and at 6.35 were told the food was taking 45 mins and we decided to order and wait. At 7.30 after observing several people agitated about their wait (all stood outside in the freezing cold we got no answers. We asked again at 7.45 when another customer said she had been waiting for over 2 hours. We eventually got our food at 8pm. Our total wait time 1 hour 40 mins.Simply put Jade Palace is unable to cope with its success. The staff seem completely overrun and at times are rude although working hard and doing their best. The system does not work. We watched one customer go into the shop and after approx 15 mins he got his food (we watched him park behind us and we were there a long time after he left!! Another said they had pre ordered and paid the day before and still waited over an hour. Unfortunately although the food is excellent its simply not worth the fuss. What a shame."
