We had friendly and efficient waiting staff and all the food your delicious. The small bottle of beer was £6 which was outrageous so we won’t bother with that in the future.

Absolutely fantastic dining experience, restaurant is clean and modern and the food is out of this world, food came out quickly and the waiters and waitresses were extremely attentive. Hoping you may consider opening a restaurant in Bristol?

The food at 1805 is unique & delicious, ie truffle noodles! We live in London, but there is nothing to equal 1805 restaurant in the capital. The cocktails are delicious and wine list reasonable. We are always met with friendly service in the beautifully appointed dining room.

Lovely food and good service Beers are a little over price as only 330ml bottles available it works out over £11 a pint Also after spending over £350 on a meal shocked when the waitress came back to say we were 90 pence short on the service charge, that we did not have to pay anyway ? Still based on overall experience would return and feel for food it’s the best Chinese in town x

The food was great, it was not cheap but worth paying a little more. We felt a little rushed but didn't bother me when they said we are closed at 10.30. Very noisy as we were seated next to 10 youg lady's all drunk on a party and could not here ourselves of drunken laughter. But we did enjoy the visit

My wife is a coeliac. She was told that she could only choose from that menu. Staff were unfriendly. Sloppy service. Young untrained staff. Getting the staff's for anything was difficult. My wife felt hurried when ordering and chose the Wagu beef dish which was Not cleared marked in pricing at £119. !! Overall will return to this venue. This has become a fast food outlet and not the intimate dinning experience we had previously encountered. We did not pay the service charge of £35. I tried to give feedback politely to the owner regards to clearer pricing. He was barely interested. !!!!

Served too quick for us on uncovered tables with no cloth napkins which makes the experience sound like a cafe. Food is good but feels too cafe like to warrant price

The food was very sub standard. We have been many times in the past and has been very good, however this time the food was overcooked, dry and tasteless. Not value for money. Unfortunately will not be returning.

Found it a bit dark at the side of the restaurant and very hard to hear. Have been a few times and had better tables with more attentive service. While the food was good, it feels overpriced.

The 1805 is one of our go-to restaurants in Bournemouth. The food never disappoints. The service can be a little patchy but not so much as to spoil the evening. The only downside are the acoustics which can produce high noise levels if the restaurant is full.

We didn't go. The restaurant rang and asked us to come early because they wanted to close at 9pm. We cancelled. Went to Tiien Thai around the corner instead, which was excellent.
