The Dorset oysters were very disappointing: small, difficult to extract from their shells and the sauce mignonnette watery to the point of tastelessness. The tronçon of turbot was nicely prepared but they were very stingy with the Hollandaise. The Rick Stein white burgundy was seriously lackluster given the price (£50/btl). It appeared they were understaffed for a Saturday night.

Came here to eat the 3 course for £17.50 which was Salmon starter, French burger and then cheesecake. Good value for the set menu. All I’d say is that a piece of French bread wouldn’t go amiss with the starter as the starter had a sauce which would go well with some bread. Also some bread would go well with the main that my friend had. The place has no parking so if you’re driving then you’ll need to find places to park in nearby residential streets. Place is set by river so if booking a table then request a table next to the window to get the views.

So disappointed to send back inedible over salted mains dish. Offer for another mains on the house declined and not what you expect from this class of restaurant. Would query title of salt cod fish cakes which were 100% fritters in batter not breadcrumbs. Dessert however was exquisite.By the way the hand soap and cream in the toilets were like wallpaper paste and very sticky!!!???

Very friendly and helpful staff, nice atmosphere but the cooking was a bit drab - I had the peppered prawns starter which was basically prawns in soya sauce and a hake main which was just a bit boring.

Firstly I would like to thank the whole team involved from the Maître d' (Luca), our wonderful server and those in the kitchen all of whom worked hard to make this a wonderful evening.From the time we entered the restaurant, until we left, Lucca treated us as if we were the most important guests in the restaurant, a job well done.The food was impeccable (thank you to the kitchen) Mr. Stein should be proud of you.As for our server, sorry I forgot your name, thank you for making our evening just that extra bit special.This is one of the best restaurants I have been to in a long time both as a dining experience and for the quality of food. Not cheap, but worth every penny.Sorry no photographs of the food, we were too busy enjoying it :)

Beautiful lunch date with my husband. Very rare for us with two children so when we do we really hope it will be worth it, and today’s lunch was. Alice served us and what a fantastic job she did. My champagne was topped up throughout the lunch, she recommended my tuna & avocado starter which was absolutely delish. We left feeling full and reconnected. Both look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you Alice. X

Had a fantastic meal here last night. Gennaro made us feel incredibly welcome and was very warming and accommodating. The food was all delicious, fresh sashimi starter and perfectly seared tuna. The Indonesian curry and Turbot were cooked to perfection too. The tiramisu and sticky toffee puddings were to die for to top off this special meal. Wine very reasonably priced too. Recommend Ricks own Spanish Red. Thanks to Gennaro and your team for a great evening. Ed

I Attended with my family for my Mothers birthday. We arrived early and even though we had booked, our table was not ready so we were directed to the bar. This was fine as we ordered some cocktails while we chatted.The bar man handed me my Bloody Mary and as he placed it in my hand the bottom of the glass fell out and the drink went all over my dad, brother and myself mainly, spilling red tomato juice all over us. My mum luckily escaped.We then sat through the meal feeling really uncomfortable. As a gesture they did not charge us for the round of drinks that we had at the bar.We paid the full price of the meal and all the drinks with it at over £300 and were not even offered a complementary desert for my mum!!!!At the end of the meal, They offered to pay for the dry cleaning bill which was £18.00 however the stains in my T shirt did not all come out and as it was not new and I no longer had the receipt they would not replace it.Mum emailed the restaurant with the dry cleaning bill and the reply was to offer us a free bottle of champagne on our next visit.There will not be another visit!The atmosphere was bland and the food not worthy of the prices, mum makes better food at home!Its a shame as we have been twice to the Bournemouth restaurant which was fabulous.
Was taken here as a birthday treat.Loved being by the river and seeing the sunset.Staff were very attentive and allowed to taste a sample red wine we were looking for.Recommend the lobster with salad and fries as well as sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream. Both dishes were delicious.Cosy atmosphere and thoroughly enjoyed my birthday. Loved the personal touch of happy birthday written in chocolate on the rim of dish.Thank you all.

Sashimi was not very fresh. Lobster Gratin was a bit bland. The fish and chips were excellent and the saganaki was delicious.the wait time was a bit long, we got 4 plates and were there for over 2 hours. Lovely ambience, great service.Parking: There is NO on site parking, you would be lucky to find free off street parking as most was permit holder only parking.

Had the best food and wine but the star of the eve goes to our waiter. He was on the button, humorous and so efficient. Shame i didn't ask his name or he'd get a personal mention here.

Horrible experience. Every dish we ordered had a weird brown liquid seeping out of it, also there was an air of adultery about the place.
