"We went for breakfast. 2 x biscotti pancakes, GF Breakfast Hash and smashed avocado on toast. Amazing food quality and the coffees were excellent as well. The team worked from a very small Kitchen and coffee area to cook the food fresh. All the pancakes were cooked to order and the other meals were all prepared and cooked fresh to order. Amazing food and great atmosphere. You will not be disappointed, if you are in Brixham visit here for Breakfast or Brunch. Highly recommended"

"It was with a mixture of delight and trepidation that I greeted the news that The Chart Room First Class Coffee Lounge was reopening with new staff. However, I am happy to report that any trepidation I felt was quickly diminished. I tried the scrambled...egg and smoked salmon bagel on the day of opening and was pleased with the excellent quality and presentation of the food. The ambience had not diminished and it was a pleasure to sit surrounded by the fascinating collection of marine memorabilia listening to songs from the 40's and 50's. The initial menu was small but had been well thought out and there was something to appeal to every palate. The service was friendly and efficient and not obtrusive. Since that initial visit, I have returned several times and it has become an excellent venue to meet with friends. I can report further that other items on the menu are of equal quality and presentation to my first foray. I have tried the cream tea with excellent quality scones (nothing shop bought here) and some of the range of sandwiches. My lunching friends have also reported similar enjoyment of their choices of food. The menu has substantially increased since opening and now there are options for all palates that could tempt even the most picky eater. Also there is a new range of afternoon teas available and I am looking forward to sampling the delights on offer. I am a local and was very upset at the forced closure of one of my favourite haunts, however I am extremely happy with the reopening (even though my waistline may not be). Welcome back Bob and the Chart Room staff and long may you continue."

"Such a shame, nice restaurant, friendly waiting staff. When we arrived we got told a 30 minute wait for food, as there were a lot of tables that had ordered at once, which we thought okay we can wait that long, so we went a head ordered drinks and just main courses, as we didn’t want any starters. 30 minutes later our food hadn’t arrived so we thought wait a bit longer? But then we noticed that all the other tables got their starters, then no tables had no food, then all the main courses for all the tables arrived. 40 minutes later we still had no food the table next to us got fed up and left as they had been waiting a long time, still no main course. Then the waitress told us that our food would be coming out next and took the drinks off our bill for compensation. Finally 60 minutes we got our main courses! Which actually tasted alright. We didn’t realise it was a banqueting style restaurant maybe customers should be informed of this? I don’t normally right reviews on here but I wouldn’t want other customers/ holiday makers to be having to wait 60 minutes for 2 main courses in approximately 24 cover restaurant?"

"I very much hate to give a bad review but I do get frustrated with places that think that by stating vegan on the menu they are actually supplying something decent. If vegan food is just an after thought then I think best leave it off the menu. I went in this time for the vegan freak shake, it was warm, watery and had no flavour. A normal freak shake from them has ice cream, this was some chocolate sauce and almond milk and a small bit of cake for £6. Plenty of supermarkets have vanilla ice cream now, there is no excuse. It’s local, so it’s a shame. Maybe if they widen their vegan menu I may go back."
