Lunch in the dog friendly "bar" area. It's bright, airy, and comfortable. We all (including Mill Moo) enjoyed the traditional fish and chips. A decent portion of beautiful cod with big flakes. A nice touch was the curry sauce The service was impeccable and not overbearing. A great experience, though I wouldn't have expected less.

Had been here lots for lunch and dinner but didn't know they also do breakfast. Went two weeks in a row to try it out and it was really good both times. Very relaxing atmosphere helped by incredible views of the harbour. It's right on the water so watching waves and boats bob is a very zen way to start the weekend. Service is excellent. Quite slow the first time and very prompt the second. Staff are warm and welcoming. Food quality and value were brilliant. Hollandaise was gorgeous. If you're on a budget but want to try a Stein's definitely go for breakfast. Paid carpark opposite which gets very busy in the season. Lovely hand cream in the loos.

I stopped by Rick Stein Sandbanks for a late afternoon cocktail and catch up with some friends. The restaurant is beautiful and has a very warm and welcome atmosphere. The staff who served us were very friendly and attentive, and all the cocktails came out extremely well made. I will certainly return in the future for lunch or dinner, as the menu looks fabulous.

A place of refined dining down by "the beach". Just a stones throw from the Bournemouth littoral this is a perfect place for dinner after a walk along the beach or a sail around the harbour. Delicious food, heavily slanted towards seafood but you'd expect that but a smattering of other dishes too. An interesting excellent service, the staff highly professional and knowledgeable. And a reasonable price too!

I had lunch here this afternoon with a friend and Bertie, my friend’s Schnauzer. What a fantastic experience! Bertie was warmly welcomed—it’s always wonderful to see dog-friendly places. Our lovely waitress, Karen, suggested the Share and Compare lunch special, and I can’t recommend it enough. Definitely visit and dine here—you won’t be disappointed! GB

Very nice restaurant in the Bournemouth area, mainly a fish based menu with views over the harbour. Service was slightly slow but it was a bank holiday weekend. Great experience, very romantic vibes! A must if you’re in the area!

We had the best lunch for our anniversary. It was a last minute decision while out walking. The food, drinks and that view was unbelievable. The hake and the crab linguine was so delicious. Went down really well with the vodka melon cocktails.
