The Oak Room

We visited this restaurant after my father recommended it from a stay a short ime before. We were not disappointed. We booked at 6pm table and had a choice when we arrived. The waiter (clearly a Spanish man) was very friendly and efficient and knowledgeable about the food but also very good humoured. the restaurant has a good ambiance with a good lighting level (not too bright but also not so dim that those of us who are advancing in years have to get out a phone torch to read the menu!). The menus in general (including the drinks menu) had a smaller selection but everything sounded delicious and made it hard to choose

We ordered the recommended 3 x dishes per person. It was all absolutely delicious and came out approximately 2 dishes at a time with ideal timing so we'd generally just finished the two previous dishes before the next two appeared.

The flavours were delicate and well balanced, I particularly enjoyed the beef meatballs with a very fresh tasting tomato sauce and lovely herb flavours in well cooked, high quality meat.

We also had dessert - which though a small selection again all sounded amazing and made it very hard to choose. The Gelato served with both our desserts was extremely high quality, soft, creamy, no icey bits, and had amazing flavours when we asked the waiter what it was he replied that they used to make their own icecream and though it was good they felt it wasn't as high quality for their standards and switched to the present Italian Gelato supplier. Clearly demonstrating high standards for the suppliers to get the best flavour and texture .

I actually wanted to go back again the very next day it was so good!

Tried first time Spanish food while staying in North Devon. This little restaurant The Oak Room is amazing. Best place to eat in the town food is delicious and amazing portion size are bit small but worth it customer service top notch very helpfull because its our first time the waitress who serve us really helpfull to choose the food to order. Very nice and polite people and friendly atmosphere highly recomended when you are in the area.

Best meal I've had in a very long time! Amazing authentic tapas with a great selection to choose from as well as friendly, helpful staff with lovely smiles throughout the evening. Couldn't have asked for a better end to our stay in Lynton.

This is, without a doubt, my favourite restaurant EVER!!!!!!! The food is absolutely out of this world and I have never had a bad meal here.

The staff are absolutely lovely too.

Forget going to Spain for Tapas...just go to Lynton.

Wow! The best Tapas I've ever had anywhere! Fresh ingredients, beautifully seasoned and tastes that I've never experienced! I will make this trip here again soon. Great staff too! Thankyou!

Wow! What a little gem of a place! Beautiful food, great atmosphere and fabulous staff.

We managed to get a last minute booking after debating where to eat for most of the afternoon!! So pleased that we decided to choose here!! The dishes were all cooked to perfection, a truly fabulous and enjoyable meal. Thank you 🙏
