   Went for a family meal. Enquired about some of the dishes and whether they were very garlicy. Was told no it was just mild in the sauce but actually was very garlic when it arrived. Pizza's were lovely And chicken was tasty. Very popular and therefore constantly turning people away who haven't booked however sometimes they came across quite rude when saying do you have a booking no space then. They appeared to become quite irritated when turning people away so it would be helpful to Maybe put a sign on the window to save fully booked but please book online for future days. Would possibly have given higher rating but a bill came up with other people's food on it and had we not checked would have paid an additional 30 pound as well.

   Staff were great and food was good and everyone ate everything. Prices are a little steep but sadly that is the reality of eating out these days.

    Food was superb; I had pizza and my wife had carbonara. Both were really nice. We had olives and garlic bread to start with and they were excellent. The garlic bread was late coming and we taken off the bill which was a nice gesture. Overall it was really nice. The only criticism would be the noise level. It was really noisy.

    I didn't enjoy my pizza as it was slightly burnt , the crust was very hard.Only provides with a blunt knife so struggled to cut it. Kids enjoyed their pizza.Garlic bread and chips tasted nice.All food was hot which was good.

    Popular spot, we saw several people turned away who hadn’t booked a table. Delicious food, personable service. Good choice on the regular menus and specials. We will certainly be eating there another time.

    Early evening family dinner with my wife and 3 teenage children, seemed to be a very reduced main menu, although did have a specials menu which I ordered from. Food was hot, fresh and tasty cannot fault it at all, although portion sizes were a little on the small side. Waiting staff very attentive and polite.

    Excellent evening meal - great service and it was nice to see the restaurant so busy - good atmosphere. The staff have really made a great effort for their customers which is much appreciated. The shorter menu is a good idea.

    Visited with a friend who came to stay with us locally and she was very happy with the restaurant. The meal (salmon and chicken specials with house wine and desserts) was good value and tasty, and the service very friendly, but the staff were stretched and so not quite as attentive as ideally wanted, but we didn’t mind

    Ordered Tiger praws and a buffalo cheese salad for starter, salmon and sirlion for main. Salad: cheese was ok, tomato and cucumber were fine Prawns served with a nice green sauce and bread. The bread looked like a nice bread but as soon as I tried the bread, I could understand the bread wasn't fresh, when we bitte it it turned white and had the typical smell of not fresh bread, anyone who likes bread knows what is fresh bread an what is not. Didn't think of complaining, we were in Swanage to have a nice beach time and didn't needed an argument so we were just leaving the bread on the side and getting on with the prawns which weren't amazing and after realizing the bread wasn't fresh... felt a bit affraid to have the prawns, we did have the prawns and today we have a bad stomach... no wonder why! Restaurant manager comes to take our starter plates, asked if we finish which we obliged but suddenly she notices the bread was nearly all there and asks if I wanted to finish the bread! I replied that I would have had it but I didnt because it wasn't fresh which she replied it was fresh so I had to demonstrate to her that I know when bread is fresh and when its not, then she blaimed the kitchen!! so she accepted the bread wasn't fresh, what did she do regarding that? Nothing, no appologies, not trying to make us feel better in any way After that we had our mains served by two other waiters, she never came to our table again... Ready to pay we waited more than ten minutes for her to finish the long chat she was having with another client... One of the waiters approached us and asked us we if would like to tip the service which we replied that to be honest we didn't feel like paying service charge, he didn't even ask why. Its a shame because the place is cosy, the atmosphere is nice, the food is not terrible.... my question is, why serving bread from the previous day at dinner time?? to be embarassed? to have bad reviews?? I was expecting a different attitude from this lady.
