Parking is quite convenient, though on a sunny weekend we had arrived by 9am which was adequate to ensure availability of parking. By the time that we left at 11am, there wasn't really much parking left. We had breakfast, which isn't really what Rick Stein's is about (that's seafood), but it is a restaurant with a good deal of visual drama of dining in the restaurant area with the 'Harbour View'. Certainly, climbing up the stairs and passing the kitchen to be greeted with the view of the harbour is fantastic. There weren't any real complaints about the food, which were all very good ingredients. The coffee was good and the brewed coffee offered complimentary refills. The bloody mary was really good. The children were catered for on the same menu and they seemed to scoff their food too -- ages ranged from four to thirteen! For me, the pick of the dishes was the crab omelette, a must have. Service... they were all very nice and professional but had a tendency to gaze downwards rather than scanning the room, a personal pet peeve. Overall, it's certainly a lovely place to be on a sunny Sunday morning and I would visit for lunch next time.

Starters are tiny and does not impress. They are sad, average dishes, completely overpriced. Mains are tasty, but again notoriously overpriced for what they are. Wouldn't recommend. You're better off in a nice local gastro pub with good selection of fish.

Booked here on our short break to Poole from Staffordshire Good points Lauren and Tailiya were customer service at it's best and the views spectacular. Not so good No parking which it does say on website so had to pay £4.50 to park to dine here. No veggie option on the English breakfast just told we would only get what remained after meat options taken away. We ordered a poached eggs and a fried eggs on toast and it arrived ONE slice of average sliced bread 2 small eggs cooked accordingly and had to ask for some butter for toast which was already soggy from the eggs sitting on it. It was warm not hot.. Ordered extra coffee as free refill offered which came when we had finished eating. It was not busy only four of the tables occupied. Thank you to Lauren and Talliya for their care but apart from that very disappointing

Wow what can I say I went here for first time and was blown away! The device was impeccable , really friendly and great customer service too! Beautiful restaurant decor and where it overlooked was stunning in sandbanks where all the boats and yachts are! The food was absolutely delicious! I had scallops for starters, which was lovely and tasty and soo fresh. I had lemon sole for my main, wow!! I never tried this fish before but thought I would give it a go and omg! It was absolutely divine! The fish was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. I had panacotta for desert which was soo delicious and creamy! Everything in this restaurant is spectacular it is on the pricey side but it is worth it. Highly recommend 😊
