Ben's Wine Tapas - Totnes

Food was good quality. Service wasnt great. We had two dishes missing. One arrived after we asked (an hour after ordering), the other didn't... Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30

We didn't expect the restaurant to be very busy on a weekday lunchtime, and indeed there were only a few customers scattered throughout the different dining areas. We liked looking at the wine selection, but unfortunately, one of us had driven so we couldn't indulge in more than one bottle. We ended up ordering our lunch dishes individually instead of getting everything at once, which may have affected the overall experience. While we generally like this place, the atmosphere and food didn't quite come together for us this time. It was decent and reasonably priced, but nothing special. Perhaps it's just a reflection of the current mood, lacking in positivity. Next time, we'll take the train and come with a lively group to really immerse ourselves in the experience.

Yesterday evening, a very accommodating waitress managed to squeeze us in even though we hadn't made a reservation. The food and wine were incredibly tasty, prompting us to make a reservation for the following night. Surprisingly, the tapas and wine (not to mention the Aperol Spritzes) were even better than the previous night. We tried different dishes and wines this time, giving us a good taste of the menu. The staff at this restaurant are likely the friendliest and most helpful we've ever encountered. Thank you for two delightful evenings enjoying delicious food and wine.

I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. Everything was top-notch, especially the Tapas which were the best I have ever had. The wine selection was excellent as well. The highlight of the evening was not the wine we purchased to take home (although I am looking forward to trying it), but rather our server Maddie. She provided exceptional service, offered great recommendations, and made our experience truly memorable. Her enthusiasm and knowledge brightened up a rainy day. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant to enjoy delicious food, drinks, and a fantastic atmosphere. Congratulations to all involved in making our visit so enjoyable.

This place is fab. Good food and an amazing selection of wines (probably the best value wine I've ever seen in a restaurant, as it sort of operates as a bottle shop with a small corkage fee to drink in awesome! The tapas may not be perfect Spanish, but it is very good and probably suits the UK/Aussie style of eating more than the Mediterranean style. There is a good bar area downstairs and an outdoor courtyard for casual dining/socialising, with more tables upstairs for group dining.
