Went along for the Tasting Menu, we were sat upstairs which feels more like an Indian Restaurant than a fine dining one. Uncomfortable seats small tables disappointing. The waiter came across as indifferent and uninterested, the food was rather bland and not really what I expected. I will however give it another try soon but I will insist on sitting... More

Surrounded by mobile phone shops, The Dining Room starts rather on the back foot. However, do not be put off - the food is excellent and interesting. Well worth a visit if you like something a little different.

Food was average, Pork was dry not what we expected from a restaurant that classes itself as fine dining with an experienced chef. When ordering a glass of red wine the waiter didn't know what grape variety the wine was (stated in the menu at the time as Australian red) When we asked he went to find out which was... More

Thank you for your review - I am sorry for your disappointing visit. As you visited in December 2012 it is a bit difficult to comment - other than to apologise. We obviously have a new menu, new waiters and are entering into the summer period (as opposed to the Christmas party season when you last visited). I am sorry... More

Sometimes suspicions are aroused by fixed price menus in that you are going to have a very limited choice and be persuaded towards much more expensive options that are not on the fixed price. Not so here. The menu is what it is and the range offered within is extensive enough to cater for a variety of tastes withiin a... More

We are striving to be a restaurant that provides fantastic food, with first class service but in a relaxed way. Regarding our menu, we... More

Our party of 4 recently ate at this charming little restaurant as part of a Travel Zoo 6xcourse taster menu. Although familiar with Weymouth, the restaurant is situated in a pedestrian precinct within the town and was a little difficult to find. However, we were warmly greeted on arrival and the staff were friendly and helpful. Portion sizes were very... More
