What's this?
These are confidence labels — how sure we are that what we publish still reflects the restaurant's current practice. They are not a judgement on the restaurant; the wine and cooking are scored separately, out of 100.
- Beta — assessed and scored, but we are still confirming some details (such as the current wine list), so it is published with that caveat.
- No label — a fully confirmed entry.
- In development — not yet a review; it appears so you can see where coverage is coming.
Some restaurants change their menus often, and we cannot always keep pace. Even so, our review stands as a point-in-time assessment — it can help you decide whether to visit, and it sets out the principles of pairing wine here, which should serve you whatever is on the list when you go. If things have moved on, the Vinealto pairing app can give you up-to-date advice on the spot.
The Seahorse is Mitch Tonks's Dartmouth seafood restaurant, cooking Italian and Mediterranean plates around the daily Brixham catch. Its wine list is a deep, regionally organised cellar built to flatter that fish, generous in its by-the-glass range and unusually honest in its pricing, with the full cellar offered at little more than cost. It will most reward the drinker who likes high-acid whites and is tempted to trade up into a premium bottle at a price rarely seen on a restaurant list.
