  “Came to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Sat and ate in the cocktail bar which worked perfectly. The service was first class - and the cocktails are the best we’ve had in Poole. Food was very good, simple and homely French seafood. The lobster was expensive and perhaps slightly overcooked but it didn’t detract from a lovely evening - thank you”

  “We passed here so many times but this time we came in and we’re so glad we did. Every course was delicious, infused with so many flavours, I think this is one of the best restaurants I’ve come to in the local area for a long time. We’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to try more of the menu.”

  “There are some great places to eat on Poole Quay, yet for the very best finest French cuisine you have to visit St TrOpez. We were greeted by Seberine, such a wonderful lady, and were seated, where Sebastian, equally wonderful and so welcoming, took time to come and chat with chat with us,and Lisa bringing 2 glasses of delicious champagne to start our lunch. After some serious deliberation and close scrutiny, we decided on the Table D'hote menu. The very lovely and friendly Holly took our order, We chose the crispy poole crab and scallop tartlet, and the Signature St TrOpez prawn cocktail to start and both were incredibly delicious 😋 For mains we both chose the Slightly Spicy Seafood Pasta…. Again incredibly delicious juicy pieces of crab, lobster and scallop sitting on a crab bisque infused linguine pasta Prada bought our food and ensure we were happy with everything 👍🥰 Sebastien served us a beautiful Cotes Du Rhone recommended by Seberine. Our lunch at St TrOpez was just perfect 😋❤️ Thank you to everyone involved both FOH and BOH for such a wonderful lunch Hugs Andy and Miles 🐻🥰”

  “I would pretence this in the fact we have been big Saint tropez fans for a while - we have been coming here for years and hosted my dad’s 60th birthday party here. We haven’t been for a while however this time I was quite disappointed and there was a stark difference to before. The main issue for me was the mains each come with 1 side, and we were a table or 6. 3 people ordered fries, but the waitress only brought 2 fries because she said ‘she didn’t think we would eat them all’. When you are paying >£40 a main, to remove a side that we have ordered and is included is not acceptable. It’s also outrageous to remove items we have ordered as the staff didn’t think we would eat it. The fillet steak was ordered medium rare and came medium well done, and didn’t seem like a cut of fillet steak. It felt much more like a rump, and the peppercorn sauce was not nice at all. We had to get up to go to the wine bucket as it was situated away from the table to pour our wine as no one was present. The turbot was amazing and the wine was great. Creme brûlée is always lovely there and the atmosphere is lovely. However I feel the quality has unfortunately slipped over the last year that means it’s lost its spark and what made it really special before.”

  “As regular visitors to Poole, my husband and I had been waiting for a celebratory occasion to visit St TrOpez Lounge, as we'd heard positive feedback. We booked for the second sitting on a Friday evening. The restaurant was very busy, with a pleasant hubbub. Service was attentive, and the entrees and starters arrived and were tasty. It soon became apparent that a group of around ten people on the upper tier were particularly loud, and as diners left, all we could hear was this particular group. There was no noticeable intervention by staff, and it felt like being we were in a noisy pub full of football supporters just before closing time. This completely spoilt our experience. I mentioned it to the waiter when I paid the bill and he a cursory "sorry, too much to drink, I think". We went outside to finish our drinks! I would have thought, given that this is an expensive restaurant, that front of house staff should have at least tried to manage their behaviour, which was loud, obnoxious, crass and completely disrespectful of those around them. In fact, there seemed to be nobody in charge at all. This is really not acceptable at this price point. Perhaps, this is the world that we are living in now? If so, that's very sad, and personally puts me off eating out anywhere.”

  “We have dined at St TrOpez Lounge on many special occasions over the years, following the owners from their previous establishment. The ambiance, the service, the food and drinks are impeccable, not forgetting the cocktails.! The staff are friendly and professional - everybody is made to feel so welcome and relaxed. An excellent wine selection and numerous recommendations from Sebastian. Lovely to see such an excellent selection of wines and champagnes, especially the English sparkling wines. Thank you for all the lovely times and memories. Hope to see you all again soon. Mark, Carole & Charles xxx”

  “Nice vibe in the restaurant, and friendly staff. Unfortunately the food fell really short of expectations, especially seeing some very nice looking pictures and positive reviews. We dined in the evening and for the price of the food we left feeling slightly ripped off. I had the beef tartare for £18, tartare itself was okay, but the beef was very very finely diced (almost blended texture) and accompaniments seemed to make up the majority of the tartare. The weirdest part was the pieces of toasted supermarket style sliced white bread served with it, like really? Charging £18 for a tartare (which is a completely fair price, I understand beef is expensive) but serving it with sliced bread is kind of insulting at that price point. I also had the sea bass, which the actual fish itself was nice, but was served a flambé’d alcohol was poured over it. This seemed incredibly gimmicky as the result was a huge hit of bitter alcoholic taste which completely overpowered such a delicate fish. The fries were unfortunately pretty soggy/undercooked, and tasted like the frying oil needed to be changed. Veg tasted like standard boiled veg. Definitely won’t be returning.”

  “St Tropez Lounge in Poole is in a great location near the waterfront, making it a lovely spot for a relaxed meal. We went on a Saturday lunchtime and the restaurant was already busy, with couples and families celebrating special occasions, which created a lively but still comfortable atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the service was professional and genuinely welcoming, especially thanks to the owner, who clearly takes pride in making guests feel at home. It’s the kind of place where you feel looked after without it being over the top. The menu is well balanced and thoughtfully put together, but the real stars are definitely the fish and seafood dishes. Every piece of fish we had was cooked perfectly—fresh, flavourful, and done just right. The portions were also very generous, which made the whole experience even better value for money. Overall, we had a great lunch and really enjoyed both the food and the warm hospitality. We’ll definitely be returning on our next visit to Poole.”

  “Is this really one of Bournemouth's best restaurants? We wanted somewhere to go that we could take our doggies with us. If you book on their website and tick you are bringing a dog,they will allocate a suitable table. Upon arrival, we were all very warmly greeted. As if we were old friends. Bearing in mind we had only just booked with them for the first time an hour earlier. We were shown to a reserved table on the terrace. The food they serve is Seafood and French cuisine. It's open all day from breakfast time to evening. As it was lunchtime you can choose from their Bistro or Main menu. We went for a couple of starters. Scallops in Normandy garlic butter. Double baked cheese souffle finished with cream. And for mains:- Turbot fish pie. Fresh Turbot, mixed fish,prawns & mushrooms, Muscadet cream sauce topped with mash. Monkfish Medallions & Tiger Prawns In a red Thai curry served with rice. We were not planning on having a dessert. But noticed they do an all time classic of Crêpes Suzette,orange segments, flambéed with Grand Marnier. The food served here is excellent, with menu choices that are mind-boggling. If you can't decide what to have? It's the sort of place you could go to and just say, "Bring me anything". That's if your are not a fussy eater🤣 Yes,this really is one of Bournemouth's best multi- award winning restaurants,and we can see why. With great food,exceptional service and amazing hospitality.”
