Brilliant in every respect! So friendly with excellent locally sourced food excellently cooked. I can’t fault it.

Delicious food which is reasonably priced. Excellent service.

Another fantastic dining experience last night - spoilt for choice with the menu but, after scrumptious starters, we plumped for the daily specials of beef bourguignon and skate wing and then yummy desserts. Lovely welcome by Kirsty, excellent cuisine by Andrew and all the staff are great. We’ve been going to Chilled Red on and off since 2007 and love it.

Great welcome, friendly staff and imaginitive menu. Fabulous fresh fish and reasonably priced wine. We will be back. Not the easiest place to find - it's in a pedestrian precinct but well worth the effort.

Chilled Red in Swanage is an absolute gem of a restaurant. The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food is out-of-this-world amazing, and the wine selection - top-notch! If you're in Swanage, don't miss it. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! ???

Fabulous food was had by all. My hake was cooked to perfection, in fact all the fish was spot on. The Chef really knows how to cook fish well. What a great spot to eat and drink. Great service by the friendly owners and their team made for a lovely evening. Definately going back again. It's a gem

Came here for an evening meal after many recommendations from friends. The food is second to none in the area. Absolutely delicious. Also really fantastic service from Kirsty and all the waiting staff. We will be back.

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was very relaxing couldn't ask for a nicer evening. Will definitely be going back.

Best of luck to the owners - i think it is a family run business. Decoré is simple, starters are adequate, mains are great and price is right.

Perfect - trio and garlic tiger prawns, followed by plaice and sole, then cheesecake and chocolate torte. Beautiful fresh fish, lovely wine, faultless service.
Another great night out, we chose the Garlic Prawns and the fish trio for starters, followed up with main from the specials board. Cheesecake as a dessert very nice, and all well presented. We call in on our holiday yearly and have never been let down by food, service and general atmosphere.

Absolutely wonderful, went with half a mind to order the steak but after a chat with our server about the specials decided on the seafood thermidor and haven't stopped thinking about it since. It was delicious. My partner order the lamb and was just as pleased, it looked Instagram perfect. If anyone ( hello chef lol) has a recipe for the thermidor I would love to have a go of recreating it at home

Absolutely delicious food, a very warm welcome and excellent service. We spent a week in Swanage and Chilled Red was by far our favourite restaurant. Tucked away behind the main road, it’s an understated, quiet restaurant where the food does the talking. Excellent!

Great food, friendly staff. The only minor issue was a lack of character or ambiance in the decor. A few colourful pictures or paintings would help.Will definitely return when next in Swanage.

After seeing reviews on Tripadvisor we decided to book this restaurant. And we are so pleased we did. We were greeted with a smile & had the menu explained to us. You could either have 2 or 3 courses. We opted for 2 as didn’t have room for a dessert. We both thoroughly enjoyed our starters (garlic prawns & & caprese salad) mains (rib eye steak & beef curry) everything was delicious & piping hot. I do think that the acoustics to the softly played music could be improved. This however didn’t spoil our evening at all. This was by far our best meal in Swanage.
