WESTBEACH REVIEWS

Had a delightful champagne breakfast at WestBeach which is located right on the beachfront. The food was beautifully cooked and delicious. We did have a long wait for food but we were happy to be fitted in as we had not pre-booked. We were offered coffee while we waited but it wasn't clear if it would be complimentary. It was a lovely place to spend some time though in the sunshine and the staff were very friendly. I saw a sign for a loyalty scheme which would be great for people who visit regularly. I'd love to go back for main meal in the future.

Today I went there with my partner for the first time! Wanted to go so many times but we thought it’s out of our price range. Went today and discovered it was the nicest place we have been too in Bournemouth and we’ve lived here for 2 years. Thank you to the chef for cooking and bringing the food to our table,thank you to Ella who made sure we felt happy today! We will definitely come back.

They forgot our mains and it took a lot longer to serve. A mistake that the assistant manager rectified immediately, he was very professional. Had the mussels and the sea-bass. The food was excellent, the service overall fantastic.

THE CRAB AT BOURNEMOUTH REVIEWS

It’s been a week since we ate here and we are all still reminiscing about our seafood experience. Honestly the tastiest, freshest seafood we have had. I would highly recommend the special fries and the fruit de mere platter. We also ordered a whole crab, lobster and seabass. The crab, lobster, shrimps, mussels and Scallops were cooked to perfection as was the Sea Bass. It was amazing and one of the best meals we have ever had. Our food arrived in a short time after ordering and the waiters and waitresses were very helpful and friendly. It’s really sad though that this business had to close early and suffer due to reports of EDL activities in the evening.

Had really delicious whole seabass here (catch of the day). King prawns cooked in a delicious sauce I have never had elsewhere. This is a place for seafood lovers. Service was attentive though this might have been because it was a quiet day.walked in with no reservation.

I had the fish and chips with a twist. They recommended me to make it pan fried and it was delicious. Only small complain would be the lack of salt in the food. But everything was jolly good.

THE NOISY LOBSTER REVIEWS

Great place to eat, food was amazing. Busy little place, would advise to book, we were able to walk in without booking though. They had no problem letting me know would I could have as I have allergies, Avon beach car Park next to it. Great views of the beach, also has an ice cream parlour, deli and shop associated to it. Would highly recommend.

Oh my goodness I have been multiple times but recently went for an evening meal to celebrate my birthday. Ordered the surf and turf for two. Best meal I have had in while, everything was cooked to perfection. Beautiful views too. You will not be disappointed.

Unforgettable evening at the wine tasting Spanish night, our first time at Noisy Lobster. Fantastic atmosphere, great history and background on the wines, impeccable wait staff and set-up and more importantly, the food was amazing, great portion size and paired well with each wine. Would definitely come back! Totally recommend.
