Seabass - Bournemouth

Anybody who complains on here is too stuck up themselves expecting the best of the best for £28. The owner was a delight and very welcoming, attentive and friendly. We had the full 3 course choice from the menu with the groupon voucher, (dishes ranging from £6 to £18.50 so to pay £28 for a bill that would have reached £60+ is amazing value. The starters were admittedly a bit low key, but it was all gearing up to the main course. I had the monkfish and my partner had the sea bass. Delightful! They were both outstanding dishes and the size of the portions was huge. I would pay full price and more for the monkfish, I was very very pleased with what was served. A few mentions about the puddings rang true, it was clearly a frozen dessert from a supermarket (but was a good tasting frozen dessert! but that doesn’t detract away from everything else.There were no delays in the food, even with just the one manager on shift and having to do a lot of clearly u planes reshuffles as the restaurant got busier through the eve. He never once neglected a table nor delayed a thing. Basically a wonderful little restaurant serving high quality fish main courses, with amazing value when using groupon. But when you are selling them at over half price I can understand cutting back a bit on the smaller courses. And in all honesty if you’re going to complain there was too much lettuce on your starter as I have seen a few times on here then you are just going to loan about anything you can possibly think of. Highly recommended just please see past the puddings and enjoy what you are really there to enjoy, the fish!

We went here last night. We used a groupon voucher. It was barely good value with the voucher so I’m so pleased we did not pay the full amount.

Discovered this charming restaurant on the Big Dish app in the Westbourne Arcade. The service was top-notch, the food was beautifully presented and delicious. The waiter was polite and willing to accommodate any requests.

We booked this through Groupon, 3 course meal for 2 people £28. Too good to be true, how true is that saying. Sadly, we read reviews prior to the day which were very mixed, however overall they weren't looking good, we went with an open mind though. The waiter we are guessing owner was the only person we saw during our meal was pleasant FULL STOP. Our starters were very tasty and adequate portion sizes so no complaints there. The main sadly did not follow suit, overcooked pork which on the menu said pork belly,it was pork steak, the whole dish was bland. The Seabass was ok we ordered. Desserts ...cheeseboard was a joke, 3 of the smallest pieces of cheese ive ever seen in my entire life with the brie curled at the edges. The biggest joke was that all the way through our stay the waiter/owner stood behind the counter looking at his laptop never once coming over to ask if everything was ok..bizarre behaviour. There was only us and 2 other couples and he never came over to any of us. When he took away our main dishes he asked ok and I shook my head saying not really. He simply smiled and walked away.. hahaha yes it was laughable. Obviously this Italian owner doesn't read the reviews people are leaving about his business or he would behaviour very differently to his customers. We are not angry or annoyed at our experience as we were prepared having read other reviews. Sadly though the owner is a joke and he needs to call in expert advice to show him where he is going wrong.

Me and my friend had a starter and a main each, the food was gorgeous and the service was outstanding. They even gave us a free cheese board afterwards. I would definitely recommend it.
