Customer Review Summary
The cheese souffle draws praise as a standout, with reviewers also highlighting the steak and creme brulee, though one noted the brulee arrived cold and the steak overcooked. Sea views and a lively atmosphere feature repeatedly. Service split opinion: several found staff attentive and friendly, but one reviewer describes wine arriving late and a request for extra gravy being refused by the kitchen.

“Came here after we couldn't find a table at our first few restaurants. Was a good choice though, Theodora was a delight and made everyone she was waiting on feel welcome. The atmosphere is very nice, great views too. There's a gluten free menu available online. The food was good although I thought the default medium for the steak was a bit too much. Also the creme brulee was still cold and needed more time with the flame I thought. Oh and the cheese soufle was the highlight of the night for me. Overall a nice night out.”

“Lowed this place and we went there twice, once for breakfast and another time for a late lunch. The food was really nice, service attentive and friendly, atmosphere- probably one of tr best I've experienced in UK: beautiful interior design with nice soft French music, amazing views over sea and Bournemouth coast, as restaurant is on top of a cliff. Loved this place, will recommend!”

“Nice place at Bournemouth Marriott hotel. Food was tasty but the service is very inconsistent: I ordered wine which only arrived after I had finished my starter, although I was asked "would you like a drink to start with". Then I ordered the beef which was a big portion, so I asked for some extra gravy - apparently the kitchen didn't "allow it" although even Michelin-starred restaurants would do it without even charging for it. Expect good quality, tasty gastro-pub style food but nothing more than that. Service needs serious reconsideration as it doesn't do justice to the Marriott brand.”

“We celebrated our guns 90th Birthday meal here. What a splendid lunch. Excellent service, delicious meals in a lively environment overlooking the sea. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who made it so special for our mother.”

“This is a restaurant worth coming. As it is in the Marriott Highcliff, my expectations were not high, when they said they had to wake the chef is the kitchen was still open, I thought, another place where they call a cook “chef”. Well, I was wrong, it is a chef. The food presentation confirms that right away, it was very good, very well done and presented, of course, delicious too, como and visit this place, it is small, but it worth it. The management and servers are all fantastic and very attentive, I was treated really well here.”
