My wife and I ate here recently. This restaurant was nearby our hotel so we thought we would give it a try based on the reviews. The restaurant is situated inside a hotel but this is no ordinary hotel food. On entering, it took us a couple of minutes to be greeted but after that the service was excellent. The... More

Gibley's is in the Liston Hotel and does not open until 7 pm. Before then the door is locked as it was when we arrived at 6. We rang the bell and they gave us a reservation for 7. The food, service and atmosphere were all excellent, and at £30 for two courses, a great value. I wish we would... More

My mother kindly booked a table for the family in celebration of me turning ... 22 again ;-) . The food was fantastic. The presentation was faultless and the flavours were delicious. Our family, not ashamed to share, all thought each others dishes were very tastey. In particular the trio of meat was extremely satisfying. My boyfriend and I have... More

Trusting the glowing Trip Advisor reviews we tried this restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were not disappointed as this was the best meal we have in the Bournemouth area. The staff, especially our man Isaac, were spot on, helpful, efficient and cheerful. The décor is unusual and harps back to the seaside in the arts & crafts era.... More

My wife (Gwen) and I booked to eat at Gilbey's at a reasonably early time (7.15) in the evening. We were late (7.25) but the restaurant were very gracious and made no mention of this and seated us for canapes in the bar area. These were nice but not outstanding. The amuse bouche, however, was one of the best dishes... More

We called on a Saturday to see if we could book for that evening, there was a lot of deep sighs and an offer of an 8.30 sitting as they were very busy, when we asked if there was any earlier availability we were told that they could just get us in at about 7.15 which was fine, so we... More

Having experienced Michelin Star Restaurants and Restaurants with Rosettes, i can honestly say how this place equals the food quality! The serivice was impeccable and i would recommend this gem hidden away in the 2 Star Liston Hotel.

It doesn't look much from the outside, but the actual restaurant is quite pleasant, although a bit cold! The staff were attentive, polite and pleasant. the food. If you like very rich food with lots of meat or fish, and not alot of vegetables, then you'll love this place. You start in the bar with canapes, then into the restaurant... More

We were recommended this restaurant and are happy to do the same. The restaurant is inside a small hotel (The Liston) and next time we will consider staying the night. We were welcomed at the door of the hotel by a very cheery lady who escorted us to the bar. We sat in a very welcoming bar area where we... More
