Sunset bar & restaurant in Weymouth and Portland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We stopped for our final holiday meal at at the Sunset Restaurant. Very nice service and generous portions for main course. Food good quality as well but deducted 1 star as Thai chicken curry was more of a standard Indian curry and vegetarian Thai curry more like an Indian biriyani. That was slightly disappointing as my vegetarian daughter had asked us specifically to go to the Sunset for the Thai curry . Otherwise a nice experience and a very nice waiter who served us.

Delicious food. Friendly waitresses but slow service. Long wait for the meal. Many of the desserts on menu unavailable.

Drinks lovely as always, lovely bar staff outside downstairs. Downfall is the food, menu displaying different prices, expensive for what it is. Ate upstairs and the bar staff was cooking because the chef was on a break , food was horrible

Nice great spot sitting on the table looking at the sandy beach and the cliffs

Great location, a little wait for service as staff were too busy talking to each other.

Had a lovely lunch 23.07.24 consisting of cheese burger, chicken burger and fish fingers kids meal. We all really enjoyed our freshly cooked food and well worth the money. 5 out of 5 stars easy.

Lovely place for a cold beer on a sunny afternoon sat in the nice garden sofas. Friendly staff and a good choice of beers. Only thing was that the music being played was really poor quality.

Friendly and unforgettable view

Highly recommend going here....we went on a rainy day still very enjoyable food and service was excellent.....it rigth on the beach.....they have a little hut where you can get drinks and snack from....very reasonable priced aswell perfect for them long summer days......

Lovely setting, friendly staff, good atmosphere, plenty of room even for the four legged family members. We ordered some food which was nice chef was also friendly. Although it was a wet day the view was good and on a sunny day it would be even better.

I ordered squid as a starter and fish and chips as a main I’m not sure what one it was but it gave me food poisoning

Nice place right by the sea watching the sun set. Right above funfair so great for families with children. Also has lovely bar and lounge with tv

Very poor arrived at 18.45 to then be told that the restaurant has stopped serving Please don't advertise you are open till 22.00

We had chicken burger was good but but the chips well too to many and huge perhaps take some off or cut them smaller And pie with mashed potatoes try put the mash on a side not under please But taste of both meals was very good !! Nice service Beautiful view Definitely coming back again

new owners wish them all the best

Arrived at midday, ample seating, pleasant staff very attentive, great view of the sea , fabulous food I had the sea bass with vegetables, exceptional, partner had fish and chips also exceptional, good choice of bar drinks, cider really good , we will definitely come back !

WE Only ordered Coffees so I can't comment on the Food (Going of the look of the place. I'm thinking it would be alright). What a lovely little corner of Weymouth Bay this is. Gets packed at the right time and this place just adds to the atmosphere anytime of the day if you ask me. The tunes suit. Sometimes feels in the right place 😊 But all so. not in the right place at the same time (I Mean this in a nice way ). JUST Seems it needs more beach 🏖️.

Sea front views fantastic for food and drinks

Perfect for food and drink, you can sit both outside and inside. We had both Henry and James. Henry was both attentive and paid attention to detail. When brining us our drinks he ensured we they were delivered to us being in the smoke area which we were grateful for (as it was out of the restaurant area) Henry went out of is way to make sure our dining experience was special. Henry is a real credit to the team/restaurant. James and Henry are brilliant waiters, couldn’t ask for betters servers!

FANTASTIC PLACE Had a meal on our last day, wish we had gone before as it was the best meal we’d had in ages. Lovely staff, great service would definitely recommend .

Reminds me that I can't afford.a proper holiday. They need to lace the "food" with antidepressants to get us through. Dismal. Hopeless poo pit.

Very nice setup. Great staff who really seem to have pride in the place they work. The views are very good and the beach and nearby caravan park is excellent. Its a nice place to spend a hot summers day. ☀️

A lovely place to go on a sunny warm day. Great views, food, drinks and toilets are all good. Child friendly with a kids play area. Nice bit of Beach and a cool place for a swim. Shops, some entertainment and a HUGE TV screen which often screens football.

Food was awful, greasy and overpriced. Apple juice had mould in it.

When the weather's nice it's a nice place to sit and have a drink looking out at the sea.

Amazing roast dinner!! the staff are lovely & helpful Great location, will definitely be back in the future.

We had the most most amazing roast diner here last Sunday, and the coffee was fab. It was all so lovely that we brought 8 friends back with us today. Emma and her staff are so helpful and friendly, worth every penny of the great prices

We ordered a cold buffet for a family wake for over 20 people, celebrating the life of my mother in law. The food and selection were great - for quality and quantity! The staff were attentive and friendly. We had a private room with bar and terrace at the end of the restaurant open to views over the beach and sea. We were also very lucky with the weather for sitting out - sunny with no breeze. The service of drinks from the bar was very efficient and as some guests had dietary requirements/restrictions the kitchen went out of their way, particularly with the desserts and fresh fruit to meet their needs. Many thanks to Emma and her team for helping to make this a special celebration, overlooking the bay where my wife’s parents loved to spend time.

New chef who did a fantastic job on the Sunday Roast. My wife managed to get some extra crackling and the chef kindly checked in with all the diners to ensure they were happy with their meal. Love a restaurant where they engage with the diners and are open to feedback. Fabulous time. The mist came in giving a moody atmosphere over the bay. Dog friendly

Great place, fantastic staff and food and the views are to die for! Definitely recommend a visit in the summer it's gorgeous down there!

The family ate here yesterday lunch time & thought how nice the setting was. While waiting for our order to arrive we noted one person in particular serving appeared to have a cold, they were coughing & sneezing into their hand, sometimes their elbow & wiping their nose in the palm of their hand, coughing openly while making a coffee then handling diners plates etc, they didn't wear a mask. The food arrived & the batter on a piece of cod was undercooked, while one order asked for peas it came with wilted salad, two other plates also had the wilted salad. While paying the bill I mentioned tactfully to the young girl that the person should be wearing a mask. This should be kitchen hygiene & staff should be aware of this or perhaps were not trained. They say you learn by your mistakes, we won't be returning! We noted cobwebs, I know it is Halloween season but these were real webs.

Literally on the beach bar and restaurant. Amazing setting on the beach of bowleaze cove Short walk from Haven weymouth Bay holiday park. Breakfast was really nice with great sea views.

Enjoyed a couple of teas which were quickly served and a pleasant atmosphere with sea views.

I love this place! Great position on the beach and the staff are very nice! But sadly the food let’s it down! I only ordered a prawn jacket potato. The potato was cold and the prawns were tiny and barely in a source, no butter! Dry cold potato a few prawns and a Manky old salad! Such a shame as it’s got so much potential!

Lovely views and staff were friendly and pleasant but food was very disappointing. sent it back and got a refund. such a shame as could be fantastic.

Great location and ideal for a drink, but the food is pretty awful. Low quality, poorly cooked and expensive. Won't be eating here again.

Great location for a drink, but the food is terrible, poorly cooked and expensive. Won't be returning.

Haven't visited for ages, so was pleasantly surprised at the improvements made to this complex. If you are trying to avoid the sun, lovely shade covered area to eat or relax with a glass of something refreshing. Lovely views. Staff efficient and friendly.

Poor quality food but lovely setting not great service wouldn't go back. Very disappointed such a shame

1 star at a push would not recommend Came for eggs Benedict waited for 25 minutes to be given boiled eggs on bread not a runny pouched egg with ham on toasted muffin Complained to the chef and he said sorry you ordered the veggie option, to my reply didn’t ask for veggie just an eggs Benedict he said he would re-cook it so I sat down and waited another 20 minutes 40 minutes now no food, the food arrived AGAIN boiled eggs from my old plate thrown on a plate with some cut up bacon, I couldn’t bare to eat it and the manager said it’s doesn’t come with ham it’s a vegetarian, confused I said eggs Benedict is poached eggs with ham he said no not here £7.95 WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN terrible food and service

Food is poor quality and there are definitely hygiene issues in their kitchen. Childrens 'fish fingers and chips' is 1 very overcooked fish finger, for £6.95!

Very good service from Emma. She couldn't do enough for us...Had the dirty macaroni. I am very fussy but this was as good as my own home made pasta. Grandaughter had chilli that had good kick to it. My Dad was more than happy with his proper ham and chips. Views from table were stunning and overall atmosphere lovely. Best meals we all had in our week in Weymouth.

Absolutely disgusting and disappointing. After spending over £150 on food, it arrived over cooked, cold, bland, arrived at different times. After complaining we had two new meals, but they also arrived overcooked. Would not recommend.

Came here with my family after returning to Weymouth for the second time after a few years, this place has really gone downhill. Food was just about edible, service was okay but very slow. The Mac and Cheese had small black/brown hair in and with closer inspection the ‘chef’ had this colour hair. Toilets must not be checked by staff as the were absolutely unusable and quite frankly I’ve seen public toilets that are more hygienic. When going to the toilet I also noticed that there was vegetables that had been left out I don’t know if this was due to the lack of staff competence or if they were lacking in storage room but either way it’s unacceptable. I will not be returning although it’s a great place to enjoy the view of Bowleaze Cove!

Wow what an amazing view and such a relaxing atmosphere, Actually feels like you are abroad with this setting!! Emma’s lasagne is as incredible as it was last year, both James (owner) and Emma (restaurant manager) are so attentive and friendly, other staff lovely too, can’t do enough for you! all home cooked food too! Can’t wait to come back again!! Thank you!!! X

Food was cold.arguing in background . Lack of information . Small portions . Only thing good was the view. Don't recommend unless you like your food and drink cold and small. The food took ages and they gave us one dish at a time also terrible quality food sticky tables and food the chef was shouting food under the table very unhygienic first time ever sent food back. Chips were WAYTY too sick and my sister had a cough and the chips made it worse.

It took 10 minutes just to make a cup of tea. We then waited 45 minutes for two breakfasts that never appeared despite there being very few customers. All we received was an insincere apology and a poor excuse. Will not go back as there are plenty of other places locally far more deserving of my money.

Young staff were in need of training, but they were very polite. Use the cafe as much as we can, beautiful location.

I only ordered 2 coffees and a fruit shoot today. The blonde with the biggest eye lashes and nails I've ever seen behind the bar asked me to wait because I wasn't at a table I was sat downstairs by the soft play which I was happy to do. The young lady then proceeded to wash up up a couple of glasses and mugs whilst I stood there 🤷eventually she asked me what I wanted...I asked for a fruit shoot, I'll admit I didn't hear her say orange or blackcurrant so I said "oh yes please that'll be fine" only hearing the latter blackcurrant. The young lady very abruptly repeated "orange or blackcurrant! Another polite more pleasant young lady took my money and said she'd bring my coffees down. Whilst my little boy was in the soft play my partner expressed how dirty it was considering the £7 charge and further £1 for accompanying adult. Inside various areas are ripped or broken the rop bridge is broken, even another little boy warned my partner of a "hole in bridge your leg will fall through" I was sat at the only table avalible downstairs to watch your child in the soft play listening to another family slating the staff only then to have my own poor experience. I won't be returning!

We didn't stay for any food but enjoyed a drink in the sun on the lovely decking, absolutely beautiful

Ordered two large coffees at the cost of £6.20 . I've never tasted ditch water like this.very disappointed 😞

Went for some drinks on the beach front decking very nice setting. Sun shining beer refreshing. I got peckish and ordered a chicken burger. It came it looked good but as I tucked in I realised my chicken burger was frozen in the middle. I went up to the bar and quietly told the bar lady ( who was very pleasent) she took it away and brought out a fresh one. Which was decorated different i.e the quality of sidesald amount of chips. The burger was piping hot this time. The bar service was good quality of the food wasn't even when it was redone it was cheap quality of food and at 15 16 pounds I'd expect a nice chicken breast coated in crumbs not a processed frozen what ever it was. No refund or drinks offered. Just a sorry and a replacement meal. I'd visit again for a drink but not the food sadly.

Lovely setting but very poor indeed. Firstly, the card machines were not working so spent ages trying to pay. Sat at a table but tea was served in a takeaway cardboard cup instead of crockery....no milk provided - was told that milk was on the bar, so had to get up and walk back to the bar - there was no milk. So then had to wait for staff to go and find some.....bearing in mind that this was breakfast time when you'd think that would be sorted/ready to go. Next was my daughter's breakfast was served cold & i was informed that mine would be brought soon after. 40 mins later, still nothing so at that point i asked for my money back. To be fair, they did apologise but it simply wasn't good enough. No self-awareness from the staff at all. Won't be going back there anytime soon. Such a shame.

Beautiful setting shame about the food and ambience. Food was cold and tasteless definitely not restaurant standards.

Rude, indifferent staff. Worst coffee I have ever had, and overpriced at that. We will not be going again . ..ever.

Service was OK but the food was beyond bad !!!! I got 2 x battered fish and chips the fish was none existent I got battered batter !!!!! Chips were good but as we both had some shrivelled up over priced none existent fish we left starving and had to go somewhere else to eat after paying £37 !!!! Avoid eating here you will leave skint and still hungry!!!

Great location, drinks and food reasonably priced, service a bit hit and miss, but still with a visit.

Fantastic view, friendly service, average food. Always has loud pop music pumping out which is a shame. Dog friendly.

I went to the reggae festival here. Was great !

Order of just 4 drinks was wrong. Order of 4 sandwiches was also wrong and took two attempts to finally get it right. The ‘roast Mediterranean vegetables’ was mainly just peppers and fried! When chef came out with the correct order he made a silly excuse and was not rude as such but very snappy. The restaurant was extremely quiet at the time. Lovely place to sit and look over the sea, such a shame about the service!!

Had wonderful afternoon tea with friends food brilliant service exemplary wonderful views would highly recommend

The sandwiches and baps were stale and scantily filled. Not a pleasant experience. The service was distracted and we had to correct the order several times.

Food was nice but a lot of the things wed asked for was not available, waiter was lovely though a little unsure of what they had but the view from our table made up for all that

Amazing enough for 2 visits during the same week! First visit on Wednesday with my mum and baby boy. Second visit on Saturday with us all and my husband too. Both times the team were very welcoming and friendly. We got a table immediately, service...

Really good selection of affordable food. We enjoy a tasty Thai curry and pie and mash. Extensive pudding menu.

We had a light snack and the food was lush - we have eaten here many times and it has always been good but I must say the Camembert was cooked perfectly ( gooey but not over done) amazing squid and gorgeous wines The chef...

Brillant hot cooked full english breakfast with Fantastic scenery. Friendly service and chef bang on with correct way of cooking black pudding, very tasty definitely come back here from now on for breakfast.

I was sat down eating my lunch which wasn't great. Happen to notice the manager having ago at this poor staff member behind the bar. Had noticed multiple times before with the staff member. Very unpleasant and would not recommend visit. Nice balcony tho.

Service was ok, music was playing outside. Food was pants! £14 for actual sandwich meat ham, egg and chips! Too expensive for mediocre food!

My wife and I had the Sunday carvery today and all I can say is that it was superb . The presentation, serving and the food in general was terrific. We had great service the chef came to make sure that everything was up to standard . We will be back not only for Sunday lunch .Thank you Emma.

Probably better to visit on a warmer, sunnier day.

Firstly, I would like to say the staff were friendly, restaurant comfortable and views lovely. Howver, service was very slow and had to wait over 20 minutes for drinks to arrive. Waited nearly an hour for our order to be taken, despite server saying he...

Just had a lovely dinner the seabass was amazing as was the red Thai curry. Service excellent Staff lovely and generally a lovely Dinner

Great food for a decent price. Sat here in the summer, eating a meal and drinking lots of tasty cocktails. Had reggae music weekend aswell so the music just added to the amazing atmosphere. Sitting outside, enjoying the sunshine, music, food, and drink just made my evening

Very sad this place has deteriorated rapidly again. Diabolical carvery, the food trays bouncing about on lukewarm water so all food cold, spuds rock hard, no edible meat and veg disgusting, general hygiene very very poor poor poor!!!

Ordered for delivery, the order arrived cold and half missing, had a very poor quality of fish of which I couldn’t finish as it tasted off. Restaurant has also rebranded three times now I assume due to hygiene reasons as they always do not yet...

We had a couple of meals in here. The Sunday carvery was amazing. Very friendly, couldn't do enough for us. Our second meals was just a lovely

Very good food, friendly staff, accommodating, good customer service, came here multiple times and always good food and service

We have been to the sunset bar 2 years on the trot and on each occasion we have really enjoyed it the food was great and the staff ate so welcoming and friendly you could wish for more. Our 8 year old even gained his...

Great place to relax, good food, drinks while looking out over the beach and sea.

Terrible food and service. The waiter who served was more interested in talking about himself and that's without you even asking. Forgot some of the food order but due to being awful food , it was not a priority in the end. Couldn't wait to pay up and leave.

The sunset bar is a great gem over the beach. We were met by lovely Emma and Jamie. Very friendly staff. My family and friend all had breaky and a couple of evening meals and drinks. We all enjoyed our food.

Booked for Carvery yesterday. Decided to try it again as it had been some time since we last attempted a Carvery here and been somewhat disappointed previously. Well, the experience was different this time.....EVEN WORSE!! The Chef and Manager were having a shouting match across...

went here in august, told waitress i have allergies and was reassured i would be fine. 10 mins into the meal i felt an allergic reaction coming on , i made my way out leaving my husband to deal with. it. i got back to...

This place is in a beautiful setting, right up to the beach, you can sit upstairs inside, on the veranda or down on the beach. They are very dog friendly, allowing dogs inside as well as outside. The staff are very friendly and very willing to go the extra mile. The food is excellent, reasonable prices and very large portions. It was without question our favourite place to eat during our 1 week stay in one of the local caravan parks, I fully recommend

An accidental visit but what a pleasant surprise. Such kind and friendly staff and I'd imagine a gorgeous place for couples to have dinner and enjoy the sunset on the gorgeous balcony 😊

Wonderful views of the sea. Great pint of San Miguel.

Had a couple of drinks didn't try the but a lovely atmosphere right on the beach

Have nothing but praise for this restaurant, they welcomed us and made us feel like family ,they stayed open so we could dine in, as we were a large group of 13 it was difficult to find somewhere but they were very accommodating. Food was was excellent, not a single complaint even from the fussy eaters (children) . Staff were brilliant, especially James who made our evening, joining in with the family banter and playing music of our choosing.

Really nice location and reasonably priced. Great place to relax and enjoy a drink

Places like this shouldn’t exist! A British embarrassment slop house run by kids. Look at ur toilet it’s 15:20 I’m sure all that toilet paper and Nappies are not from today!? Today sea-view wasn’t open to public so we tried here. Wish I’d have gone...

The service was shocking poor young lad alone serving and was sworn at by the supposedly chef! Cost for quality shocking!

please don't go there bad service and food nice location it is a shame

TERRIBLE PLACE TO EAT We were a family of 4, adult daughter ordered crab salad!!! After one mouthful my daughter was disgusted as tasted off!!! I smelt it and the odour was not right!!! We gave it back and complained only to be given an...

I mean… what can I say😅We came in and we ignored the fact it was basically empty (maybe that was a sign to leave). We ordered our food. After 10 minutes we then saw the food being plated up, the rice was in a bag...

Lovely setting and a fun bar design that does feel rather tropical.

We had come to Weymouth to visit family. After having dinner with them they took us to one of their favourite places in the area. We sat on the lower decking watching the moon dancing on the sea, it was a beautiful way to end...

Terrible ribs and chips that were cold my son got chicken and pasta which he liked. There were no other diners and one other family who arrived and ordered were also shocked at the general low standard of the food. I would not eat there again. The young lad who served us was helpful and kind and understood what i said about barely cooked ribs. The drinks looked nice at other tables.

Menu limited and food basic pub grub.Very mediocre. Staff friendly and helpful Beautiful views from the seating arrangements next to the sea.Fabulous.

Booked via Facebook messenger early in the morning as could see no where else to book. Was drawn to book because of the beautiful location but there is no connection between the restaurant and the setting. They were not able to find our booking on arrival, then it was realised they saved the booking under my first name not surname. Arrived at 5.30 but waited an hour for the food. Only two adults food came out, we had our two children with us. We chased up where our children's food was. Whilst waiting we finished our meals. 20 minutes later one of our children's meals arrived and ten minutes after our other child's meal arrived. We had to extend the parking due to the wait. It was nearly seven by now! The food was overpriced, our order was basic. The quality of the food was extremely poor. I observed lots of other small mistakes, our drinks almost went to the wrong table and then both of our children's meals! (Despite chasing it up!) Another table with a toddler left due to the long wait. The table next to us received incorrect food but ate it anyway because of the delay cooking the correct food. Lots of young members of staff not being directed, chewing gum etc. Standing in the corner together talking but not familarising themselves with their customers. No oppologolies for mistakes. We were asked if our meals were okay, we complained to three different members of staff but they didn't understand or refer our complaint to the management. Really poor service, no greeting. I have a feeling this is normal in the running of the restaurant. Some boys wandered in looking for the toilet and a staff member said ' what's the problem?' Rather than ' how can I help ?' Customer's walking in were told to wait an hour before coming in to be seated. They were trying to serve the customers they already haf but many tables were free. The staff looked very stressed and not able to cope with customer demand. Spent £50 on two haluimi burgers, one very tiny bowl of child's pasta, (9 year old child was still hungry after) chicken nuggets and chips, two cokes and two lemonades. Really disappointed, the haluimi burgers were terrible, haluimi wasn't melted and contained a tiny bit of cucumber and very small bits of red pepper. My son's chips weren't cooked all the way through. This was the last night of our holiday so eating out should have been special. We don't eat out very often. I only wished I demanded to talk to the manager so we could get a refund. We went back to our holiday house and had tea there. I've never left a bad review. I wish I would of read other reviews before going there. Please don't waste your money at the moment this isn't a professional establishment but I do hope they can turn the business around through training and listening to customers. Beautiful view.
