Heights Bistro - Weymouth and Portland

Spectacular view from our table near the window. Delicious food, lots of choice on quite a fancy menu. They were flexible to change the potato element from truffle mash to new potatoes as I don’t like mashed food. We can recommend the sea bass and lamb dishes. Good portion size. Only downside is would have liked more soft drinks choices, very limited selection and I was driving.

We decided to eat at the bistro tonight as it is our last night at the hotel, we had eaten there 3 days before and had a lovely dinner. Tonight though was a complete disaster, firstly only two of our four meals were correct and the two incorrect were taken away, they were not replaced with the correct meals until after the first two were finished eating !! We were told that a member of staff had keyed in the wrong order. We then ordered dessert and sat and waited, and waited, and waited !! Eventually I asked what was happening with our desserts and was told that they were “in a line and were not forgotten “ At this point we had been in the restaurant for over two hours and had been served one course !! I had reached my limit at this point and requested that if the desserts were not ready that we would have the bill instead. One of the staff apologised and said that the chef had to get the mains out for a party of seven which arrived long after us. Eventually after some discussion, it was agreed that the drinks would be removed from the bill (a lemonade and 2.5 pints of cider Not exactly champagne. Such a shame as the food produced by the chef is well prepared and tasty.

Dropped in for lunch. Welcomed warmly, with no wait time. The service was prompt, efficient, and friendly. The food tasted good and was well presented. Combined with the fantastic view it 's well worth visiting. They didn 't have John Smith on tap, but apart from that.

As locals to the isle , we opted to visit the heights bistro for a Sunday carvery. Staff were very pleasant and friendly, the food lets the bistro down . Although plentiful in choice , the taste was bland , salt and pepper shakers a must … How can you serve roast potatoes that are obviously mass produced and anemic with not crisp to them is criminal. The pork was extremely fatty , beef bland and cauliflower cheese lacking cheese … The 2 rating is for the leaks and red cabbage … We don’t mind paying for food when it’s actually worth it … but £100 for 4 people is very high and as locals it’s a shame we won’t be returning. Don’t give excuses that you pay for the view ….

We only went there for drinks and to take in the stunning views, and we had a good time, with good service.
