Absolutely fantastic food, with great service and and a warm and relaxed atmosphere. We had heard really good things about Ollie's and it certainly did not disappoint - great quality ingredients and amazing tasting food. Will definitely come again!

Another wonderful weekend in Torquay made special by a fabulous evening at Ollies. This restaurant just keeps delivering and gets better and better!! Starters - Scallops and Monkfish Bites - both exquisite. Mains - porterhouse sharing steak with all the homemade sauces and the stunning...ollies chips. Quality steak cooked to perfection. Finished with two gorgeous expresso martinis, sticky toffee puddings and cheese. The service and atmosphere in the restaurant is buzzing. Booked in again for our visit to Torquay this Easter, and we can’t wait! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️More

Been to this restaurant several times, but this time tried the £20 lunch menu. The selection was great and the portions were generous. As always, the food and service was first class. The restaurant was busy, as you would expect for an establishment of this...calibre, but the atmosphere was relaxed as all the staff know exactly what to do and when. Without doubt, this is the No. 1 restaurant in the bay.More

We wandered in without a booking on a Saturday evening at about 8pm, not really expecting to get a table, however we got lucky! The meal was excellent.. prawn cocktail and steak for me and scallops and steak diane for my wife. Everything was really...excellent. We didn't have dessert. The wine was superb, and the team were happy to let me try one of the reds before ordering - always a nice touch. The service was excellent throughout with the team being knowledgeable and friendly. They also all looked like they were happy to be there and enjoying their work - which is always a pleasant surprise! All in all I think we lucked out and found an excellent restaurant. When we go back to Torquay we'll make sure we book as I've no doubt this place will get busier and busier..More

4.7 on Google, number 3 out of 202 on TripAdvisor. Superb restaurant and team in every way. On our most recent visit we chose a range of starters and nibbles. Oysters, plump; prawn cocktail, wholesome, plump and moist; a lobster bisque, flavoursome; soft shell crab,...melt in the mouth and spicy; crispy beef, crunchy and packed with flavour. All complemented with the mandatory chunky chips, perfectly cooked. A bottle of Ollie's gin to go. Wonderful. 🇬🇧🇳🇿More

My mother, sister and I dined at Ollie's restaurant today to celebrate my sister's birthday. We had eaten at the restaurant before, but not visited on a Sunday and wanted to try the Sunday Roasts. On arrival, we were taken to our table and ordered...drinks - a glass of house white, a soft drink and a gin & tonic made with 'Ollie's own gin'. We had the choice of a selection of roast dinners (pork, beef chicken, nut roast) or the steak menu. We all chose roast beef and were not disappointed. The meat was delicious, beautifully cooked and plentiful. We were given two substantial bowls of freshly cooked vegetables between us (and could not eat it all). The homemade yorkshire pudding was huge and, again, beautifully cooked. Although we could not finish our main courses, we still had our 'pudding space', so ordered two sticky toffee puddings and an affogado. My sister and I were torn between the sticky toffee pudding and the vanilla and chocolate baked alaska. We opted for the (gorgeous) sticky toffee pudding on the basis that we'd just have to return to try the baked alaska! The service was friendly, welcoming and attentive. We will definitely be back. Ollie's is definitely one of (if not the) best restaurant currently in Torbay.More
