“This was our first visit. Heather our server was great, she went above and beyond with an allergy issue that one of our guests had. Food was lovely and the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant was great. A very pleasant evening.”

“We always visit The Cooper Dean when we visit Bournemouth each year. The food is wonderful, staff are polite and helpful. However, on visiting today we overheard a few members of staff been rude to a new member of staff (this did make us feel slightly uncomfortable as it was every time some other staff was near her) We could see how hard she was working and she didn’t actually stop the whole of our visit no matter if it was serving customers, cleaning glasses etc. she was nothing but amazing. We appreciated everything Andrea! We really hope to see you next year!”

“Outstanding service from Lucy today. Second visit here and won’t be our last. She handled our order from start to finish with confident professionalism. A true credit to this Harvester. Food was lovely and didn’t have to wait too long. Free parking was a bonus too. Looking forward to bringing friends for this lovely dining experience when next in the area.”

“Good food and service! The staff were all amazing, especially Lucy, who patiently explained everything we didn't fully understand. The place had parking and was kept clean outside and inside... so all good here! 😊 👍”

“The service from the young lady at the bar on Friday was excellent, even superb. Unfortunately, we didn’t ask her name, but she’s a true professional. Thank you very much. The food was delicious and the experience was lovely.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the service, with servers and bar staff described as friendly, helpful and quick, and one server credited with going above and beyond on a guest's allergy issue. The serve-yourself salad bar with bread rolls comes up close behind, praised as great and fresh. Among the food, diners name the crispy chicken starter with its dip, a beef burger with jacket potato in a generous portion, ribs, a salmon sticky rice bowl, and sundaes, including one with a creamy limoncello sauce. Several call the food plentiful and good value, and a few mention free parking and a clean, nicely decorated room. The caveats are modest. One reviewer noticed a few staff being rude to a new colleague, which made their table uncomfortable, and another found first drinks and orders slow during a full half term rush. One reviewer left with half a burger boxed up to eat later.
