"When we arrived the car park was almost full at Belluno's, a good sign. The welcome was friendly and the atmosphere and room space was very good. The food is excellent with a wide choice of pasta, pizza, meats and fish, with some gluten free options too. We had no complaints with the presentation or taste, it was all excellent. Service was timely and the staff were very attentive. An excellent place for couples and families for a great night out. Its not the cheapest, but quality never is. Just to note, that we did not see a service charge, so tipping is voluntary which was nice. We gave a tip, but having the choice is good. Overall, a lovely evening out and well worth visiting for a celebration or treat at this establishment. I hope you're experience there is as good as ours was. Atb"

"After taking a carriage tour, we decided to have lunch at this restaurant. We ordered grilled snapper and a crab cake burger. The snapper was fresh and delicious, while the burger was decent but not my top choice. The crab cake had too much mayonnaise for my liking. The crab soup was flavorful, with visible crab meat, but I found it to be a bit too salty."

"I reviewed this some time ago, but I had occasion to dine again recently (May 2024) so I thought I would revisit my review. The restaurant wasn't exactly empty, but it was nowhere near full or half full. That was a great shame as the food and service was excellent. The service was attentive without intruding and putting a jug of water on the table when we arrived was a nice touch. The food was excellent, much better than pub food, it was nicely presented, hot and plentiful. The menu had something for everyone, I didn't realise there was a specials board but I do now and will look out for it on my next visit. I understand the cocktails are worth a look. The staff were friendly and efficient, the duty manager (Gilly) was a great asset to the establishment, if only all restaurant staff were this knowledgeable and effective, perhaps The Stables should be giving Masterclasses on how it should be done. Please take note Wetherspoons. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. This was my previous review. Excellent food and service. Much more than pub food.."

"Really nice food. Great new owners who have are really friendly and accommodating. Some have said the food is pricey and whilst it is probably above average pricing, the ingredients are all top notch and where possible, locally sourced. You get what you pay for. We ate here about a dozen times over the summer, mainly with visitors from the SE. They all said what a brilliant place it was and wished it was their local! Well done for the turnaround and all the new innovations."

"Staying in nearby(1.7 miles) in Langford Bridge. Thursday 17th Feb went for dinner, cos why not it was only raining a bit and we needed a walk with the dogs. We had the Steak Ale pies with chips and veg; it was extremely good, as was the Devon Red Cider. So booked for Sunday lunch, on the 20th, which they managed to squeeze us in for 2pm. Raining again the 3 dogs weren't keen, but Wow, The Triple Meat carvery was a challenge to get through, but I managed it; very tasty. The beef was beautifully pink, and the horseradish hot. The pork and crackling were very good, the chicken cooked to perfection. After a short pause, I even managed to down a triple chocolate brownie and ice cream. The service was very impressive. A nearby table of about 16 got all their meals within about 2 mins of each other. Thoroughly recommend the place."
