Crustacean

Had a nice meal here. It was. Tuesday evening so quite quiet. The service was decent and friendly and the food was good but to kind of had to be. £172 for 2 adults and 2 children having 2 courses without much alcohol is a bit steep. With a price tag like that the food would have to be exceptional to get 5 stars. It was nevertheless good and we did have lobster which is never cheap.

Before you read my review, please see the friendly manager comments to explain how uneducated I am in my details below. Then read on ... Something has clearly gone a miss here. Uncooked prawns and off lobster. Never again... You have a high hopes reading all the wonderful 4*/5* reviews. Did we go to the wrong restaurant - nope. Did we choose something difficult to cook - nope. Was the chef off, may be. Would we go again - no! Let's start with positive, the staff who did everything the could to make the best out of a bad situation. The team was very pleasant and chatty and had plenty of time for us but.... It does not cover the fact that Thai Prawn Balls were stone cold from the kitchen. Yes they were replaced quickly but something so simple, should not go wrong. Moving on, two surf and turfs; Lobsters and Fillet Streak. On one of the dishes the lobster meat was grey and watery, it looked off. We were told one was from yesterday's catch, hence the difference in cooking. Hardly freshly caught! Hardly reassuring!! So, given my experience with the prawns, I decided to just stick with my steak and send the lobster back. I'd now given up on getting a properly cooked crustacean at this place. In fact I just given up, as the streak really was not a fillet more sirloin but i prefer this cut , so kept stum. The other steak was more a rump, than a sirloin, let alone a fillet. (Edit: menu had changed from fillet to sirloin. At least one of the steaks was good) But by now we had all just had enough, thankfully the attentive staff and manager reduced our bill by half. Even so, mistakes were made. Need to highlighted and hopefully will not happen to a different customer. Well, we know it won't happen to us again! No going back ☹️

Fantastic food, absolutely no complaints with anything. The service was brilliant and the food was amazing. Don't understand some of the negative reviews. One woman last night actually barged herself into the kitchen to complain that her sauce was too "sharp" and needed more butter. Sums up some of the negative reviews on here are unfounded and submitted by the worst of society. Great place, great service. Would revisit again definitely.

It was good. The service was friendly and attentive. But I have to say, they’re not expert at preparing a whole lobster. It was under cooked, the tamale was a dark green gel and close to inedible (didn’t stop me though). They steam the lobster when boiling is a better method in my opinion. The scallop appetizer was quite good, well prepared although a bit pricey (£13 for three scallops).

This restaurant came highly recommended by friends who live in Weymouth and we were not disappointed. The oysters that we had for starters between us were huge and delicious, my husband had the fillet steak and half lobster surf & turf. He is extremely critical when it comes to steak but reckoned that this was one of the best steaks he had ever eaten!! I had the seafood linguine and was super impressed with the amount of seafood present as most places tend to scrimp on this. The service was also extremely impressive - efficient and just the right attentiveness. We will most definitely be back the next time we visit Weymouth.

Birthday family meal. Well balanced meals. Thai rice was undercooked,but the restaurant did redeem itself with a free dessert. Great ambience and not over priced £££. Recommended you book as this is a great little spot

The food was good in general. One of the mains we took though was dry and kinda blund. The atmosphere was a bit dark and did not quite met our expectations. Maybe that is just our feeling. The place was full and required a booking. The seafood linguine and the scallops along with the dusted calamari was very good, if not excellent. It's one of the oldest places in the city, and worths a try.

Amazing food but avoid if you have kids. So, this probably would of been a 5 basing this off solely food as the food was great. But, waiting until we had ordered to then start moaning our 2 year old was moving to much, being to loud and stating that kids just break stuff is probably a tad insulting to a kid who was hiding behind a chair of an empty restaurant and singing wheels on the bus. If they raised this concern before they started to bring paid goods we would of just left and apologised we didn’t realise it wasn’t a kid friendly restaurant. But, I felt like they roped us in with needing to pay for the dinner until they decided to wanted to choke restrained and muzzled. Recommend they get a no kids sign for the window because the food is great.

Highly rated on TripAdvisor but a pot hole on Yelp, so I added it. Really top quality seafood but it's no a cheap lunch. Crowds come latter so don't let an empty restaurant scare you and too $40 lunches are not the demographic of the crowd. I had the house white wine Sicilian wine excellent and the grilled lobster even better! Other highlights were the tiger prawns and oysters.

Seemed like one of the nicer restaurants in Weymouth if you aren't looking for a pub. We didn't make a reservation but got lucky when another group cancelled. The food was great - menu was definitely on the seafood heavy side but there are still some items on the menu that aren't seafood (roast chicken was delicious)! Oysters were a great starter for the table. Main dished for dinner go for ~$25 each. Service was friendly and environment was bright, open and welcoming!
