“ Lovely place in historic atmospheric Tudor building with views over Firestone Bay beach Drakes Island and Mt Edgecumb, Simple unfussy quality seasonal food with a running theme of rosemary and roasted garlic for first day of summer. The menu was stripped back as was the great wine list at all levels and reasonably priced. Every course was economical and faultlessly unflashy, same goes for relaxed unobtrusive service, highly recommend. ”
“ We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary at The Artillery Tower and had a truly amazing experience. We arrived about half an hour early for our reservation and were warmly welcomed and offered drinks while we waited. The gentleman who looked after us was very professional and took the time to explain everything, which we really appreciated as it was our first visit. The food was absolutely lovely — a big thank you to the chef and all the staff who served us. We enjoyed a delicious three-course meal, and every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. The whole evening felt special and memorable. We’re already looking forward to coming back again soon to try more of the menu. A big thank you from both of us — Mindaugas & Vilma ”
“ First time here and what a treat. Welcomed by the engaging Fabio and Peter the chef down a few steps and into one of the smallest, intimate restaurants I've ever been in. Fantastic view over to Drake's Island and I'm set. I'm not going to go on about what I had, suffice to say that everything put in front of me was well proportioned, fantastically presented and delicious. Everything had "something" which made it taste better than I expected. Thanks to you both for making our evening better than I thought it would be. I'll certainly be back again ”
“ What a find! Brilliantly run, small, but 'high quality' (fine dining). All food was amazing Nice touch that the chef, comes to speak to you at the end of night too. Will definitely be coming back to this restaurant. ... ”
“ The food was scrumptious. Loved the starters and entrees. Shared the scallops on pork belly, crab and avocado salad, John Dory fish and duck breast with my niece. It’s on the top 2 list for Plymouth in my opinion, the other place being Acleaf. The server, Fabio, was top notch! Knows his wines very well and how to pour properly! Has a great personality. The ambiance is top notch (like eating in a castle!). Highly recommend. ”
“ This place was fantastic, a lovely atmosphere and very intimate, the food was incredible and the drinks were fab. The service was lovely as well, with the hostess helping in any way she could and the chef coming out after food was finished to make sure everything was okay. ”
“ One of the best restaurants we've ever been, in a quiet & almost like secret place. Food was great & served in perfection. The chef was brilliant, he came out & talked to all customers too before leaving, also Fabio (waiting staff) was brilliant. We enjoyed the ambience and will definitely dine with them again. ”
“ HIDDEN GEM - We were lucky enough to book a family celebration meal here. This is a small intimatre restaurant which cannot be bettered. It feels like you are being treated to a private dining experience, indeed the chef/ owner came to our table at the end of our meal to chat to us. The food is outstanding with everything cooked from scratch including their breads and ice cream. The duck was perfect as were the scallops and almond tart was very special. The building is also beautiful. ”
