Amazing value, excellent quality and wonderful staff. Always a pleasure to come back here - me and my partner come here at least 3 times a year and are never disappointed.
Great food, good prices, good service. Really good place to eat and if you like cocktails best place in town. Go Monday- Wednesday as they do a 15 pounds tasting meal
Lovely restaurant. Great food. Had the sea bass which was divine. Lovely hosting and service top notch. Couldn't fault it. Didn't go to the bar but it looked lovely enough
Our first visit to this restaurant but could not fault the food and service. Four of us visited and had different starters and mains which we all loved. Our deserts were lovely, crumbles and the Grand Marmier panda cotta was absolutely delicious! Cheese board also perfect to end the meal. We will be returning to the restaurant and can so easily recommend. Cost £153 for four without wine and brandy which is a personal choice but it was a birthday celebration so we did push the boat out!! Lovely evening.
Really warm welcome. Lovely hostess/waitress. The Sunday roast was enourmous and freshly prepared to order. Nice environment (with a Gin bar!), and subtle acoustic live music from the bar adjoining the restaurant. We come to the BIC every summer for an event and will absolutely bring all our staff back to 1812 for lunch again.
Very friendly and helpful staff in both the bar and the restaurant. Food was good and there was a very good pre-show offer available that was worth it.
Lovely food, excellent customer service, great cocktails, and a great atmosphere. There is a little noise from bar next door but this was fine for my group. I would recommend this place to anyone!
As always the food was superb, extremely tasty, well presented and just the right portion size. The service was excellent, the staff were attentive without being intrusive. I would thoroughly recommend 1812 to anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic meal.
The food was presented very well and tasted exquisite. The cocktails were half price between 5-7pm. The restaurant was small and intimate and the waiters and waitresses were attentive and polite. I would recommend this restaurant every time.
Best Sunday roast in Dorset and the very best service. Helen and team is top notch :/) would definitely come again and we highly recommend this place
We had a lovely time (as usual). The event had been booked as it was a triple birthday celebration, so plenty of cocktails were bought that evening. Thank you again - and the bar staff are amazing - very attentive and plenty of them available at all times - nice to see.
Took the husband for dinner for his birthday. We were greeted and seated by a very friendly Maitre'd who gave us a complimentary Prosecco. The waitress gave us plenty of time to study the menu and was attentive but left us to enjoy our meal. We both opted for the seared scallop starter, which I can honestly say, was the most flavoursome scallops I have ever had. A great combination of flavours and textures. We then both had the sirloin steak. This was a large plate of food and not the best quality meat (would have preferred fillet on the menu) but that said, again, the flavours and seasoning was exceptional. My only other issue was the 'triple' cooked chips were slightly underdone. We didn't have room for pudding. Great, bustling atmosphere in the restaurant even though it wasn't packed, then into the bar for the band and drinks. All in all, a really great evening.
Excellent food and excellent service. Would recommend highly! I had the mussels which were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. For main me and my partner had the lamb which was cooked just right and had so many different flavours!
Lovely restaurant, staff were friendly, Food was lovely and thought value for money, at the time a band was playing live music which you could hear whilst eating and chatting. Would definitely go back to eat and drink and stay in the bar after
Wonderful evening! Restaurant staff were perfect and professional. Excellent food. Truly for a 1st visit couldn't fault it. Looking forward to another visit soon. N Horseman
Incredibly good food, amazing night! Perfect place to spend our anniversary. I fully recommend this place to anyone looking for a good night with fantastic food! Definitely going to go again!
Excellent food and attentive staff as well as an astounding array of cocktails. Highly recommended! The live music was great and made for a relaxed atmosphere. Best night out in ages.
Restaurant perhaps a little tired on the decor front but the service and food quality is excellent. Reasonable value for money for the quality of food.
great anniversary meal, nice atmosphere and attentive but not in your face service. food was excellent and beforehand cocktails amazing. we would most definitely return.
The restaurant itself felt and looked dated but clean overall. My cutlery was dirty so I switched it with the table next to us. Waiter was ok. Food was average with not much flavour. I wouldn't go there again.
There wasn't an option to give a zero rating but this ranks among the worst meals I've ever eaten. The seafood pasta was drowning an inch deep in olive oil. It was like a disgusting soup, leaving my mouth coated in oil and unable to taste anything after a couple of mouthfuls. Avoid.
Amazing experience, went for a Christmas meal out with my girlfriend and we loved 1812! The food was lovely, the service was excellent and we had the perfect night. Very good food for the money, yes it's quite expensive but definitely worth it for a good night out, looking at going back soon! Can't wait to eat here again!
Fantastic meal, 3 courses for £15 Monday to Wednesday. You won't get better at that price. Grab a cocktail as well. Great service as well!
Excellent night out for a birthday treat. Nice food, nice music from bar area. The staff are really friendly and helpful. We had a lovely time.
Haven't had a bad meal at 1812. Staff are friendly and very efficient. Would highly recommend it to anyone. Very good value for money with 3 courses for £15 mon-wed
The three course meal was delicious. The waitress was exceptionally knowledgable about wine and assisted in making an excellent choice to go with the food.
Great customer service. Tables positioned not too close. Couldn't hear any noise from the bar. We had a 3 course meal and every part was a really high standard. We would definitely return.
Amazing as always. We go here multiple times a year. The service is excellent, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is wonderful. We intend to come back here until we're old and grey.
Fab food, fab service and fab price on a early week special. Hope you continue with special offers as it will keep us coming back
The food was very good well presented. The service provided was of a good standard not overly intrusive! Would definitely recommend this restaurant and will visit again if in the area in the future
Good food and atmosphere. Recommend the cheese board, perfect amount of cheese to biscuits and a good wine selection to choose from. Will be going again.
Nice meal, presentation and choice A la carte style and /or set menu Try the cheese and biscuits with a large glass of Shiraz 👍
It may have been a windy stormy night but I didn't expect the restaurant to be quite so cold. We booked for 8pm received emailing confirmation. Then later a phone call changing our table to 9.15 instead. At this time it was lucky that we could move to a different table. Risotto was cooked well in parts but it was also crunchy ie not cooked in other, and some of the peas were like bullets. I was certainly expecting a lot more.
Lovely food and drinks, great service. Thought the set meal was very good value for money and very tasty! Cocktails were delicious too, thank you
Great location for a tasty meal before a show. Food was good value and restaurant nice. The staff were helpful even putting our first drinks onto our bill for restaurant. Would.go again next time going to a show
Good value "3 course for £15" menu. Food beautifully presented and delicious. Waiting staff friendly and efficient. Just what is required for mid-week meal out.
It was very disappointing. Unwelcoming. Poor choice on menu. Rowdy noise from the bar made the atmosphere in the restaurant unpleasant. We left without ordering.
Great food & cocktails. Our Quandoo booking was not on their system. Happens all the time. Needs fixing. Never had a bad meal at 1812.
Food was delicious as always although service was slow and a bit unfriendly... We had drinks in the bar beforehand and they took a very long time to make too (Bloody Mary, Virgin Mary and a prosecco) - would still go back for more tho!
The pre show menu was great , the service fast and friendly, the location for the BIC cannot be bettered. Overall the visit enhanced a really great night out and I will recommend 1812 to all my friends
Great food and service nothing was too much trouble. Had the monkfish linguine the best meal I've had in ages my husband had the lamb he loved it
Great Sunday lunch. This is the best location in Bournemouth for Sunday lunch. Food is great and also not too pricey given location service n centre
Really enjoyed the food and at £15 for 3 courses was exceptional value. The service was very slow and at times the music was far too loud for a restaurant.
quick service with a lovely singer. We had the leek and potato veloute and chicken roasts, beat roast potatoes I've had in a while. Will be going back.
We've been here several times and it's always good. The £15 for 3 courses (Mon-Thurs all evening) is excellent value: great food, great presentation and good service.
Food was amazing staff were lovely and very helpful. Really good value for money I would highly recommend and will most definitely be going back.
The food was absolutely fabulous, my husband said his steak was cooked to perfection. The service was also great too. We would definitely recommend it & would definitely go back.
Partners hake course was fine, my steak was tough and chewy...didn't eat it. To be fair my main was deducted from bill. Service ok though
Excellent service, outstanding food, cannot fault anything, have had a great experience
The panfried bream was delicious and I would thoroughly recommend it. My husband had the beef. He felt it had been sliced far too thinly and was practically translated!! The rest of the plate was delicious though.
