Wow. That’s all I can say. I saw on Facebook a friend had visited here recently and we are visiting the area currently so booked it. Absolutely the most delicious seafood we’ve had in a very very long time. Oysters were divine, crab absolutely delicious and as we were being greedy we also had mains, skate and scallops for three with the most scrumptious sides. Desserts to die for. Service has been impeccable. So friendly and helpful. Even took the kids off to see the crabs and lobster (after they’d eaten - it’s not pick your own 😂). We haven’t left yet - is it wrong to stay on until dinner service?!

The Crab House Cafe is a very special place to me and my family and its the oysters that really does it for us. They do au Natural which are very good, they do oysters flash cooked in the shell in pesto and parmesan which are excellent and they also do oysters in bacon and cream in the shell which are superb and are a major taste experience. My sons and i have a mix of a dozen each as a main course and when we are on that part of the feast there isnt a lot of talking going on, the main sounds coming from our table are ooohhh's and aaahhh's and just the sheer appreciation of beautifully cooked food in a perfect surrounding. Thank you Crab House, we'll be back.

Great fish & seafood in a relaxed atmosphere. Loved it. Staff were friendly & attentive, the food delicious. All 4 of us ate differently, including crab remoulade, the bisque which was superb & fish bhajis, very much enjoyed. 1 of us enjoyed the whole crab mains, 2x hake & 1x john dory & brill. Each of us were delighted with our meals & would definitely come back if near this way again.

Always tricky eating on one's own, but staff immediately made me feel at ease and found a well positioned table. Complimentary fresh baked bread and dip arrived and went well with the two starters I had chosen. The bisque was one of the best I have ever had with a great depth and complexity of flavour. Excellent (large!) glass of Sauvignon blanc ensured a very pleasant evening. And great sunset!!

I was a little worried after reading the mixed reviews on here but we had a fabulous dinner at the Crab House this week. As with others I couldn't get through by phone so booked a table online which worked fine. We sat in the heated marquee which was relaxed with a great view, but sheltered from the elements! Food was fantastic, we both had a half crab and shared the monkfish scampi to start. Only comment is that the padron peppers we ordered to nibble with drinks were undercooked and consequently incredibly spicy - mouth on fire territory. However that was the only niggle in an otherwise brilliant meal.

We hadn't booked a table so made sure we turned up early to see if we could get in - thankfully they had a table for us in their covered outside area. We had oysters to start which my boyfriend had never tried before, but now he likes. We saw other people ordering the crab to crack which looked fun although was quite noisy. My boyfriend ordered a small plate for his main as he wasn't that hungry and I ordered a main meal. The setting was nice and I wish we had booked a table so that we could have been there later when all the twinkling lights lit up the garden.

Our second visit to the Crab House Cafe, involving a 160 mile round trip. Was it worth the drive? By ‘eck, yes! Quality of the seafood was superb, the menu small but appealing, excellent cooking and great service. Also, a great view out to Chesil...

We went in last week for brunch and had booked. The table was rather small for all 5 of us to sit comfortably as it was extremely hot, I’d ask waiter was if ok if we flowed over to table next to us - she said yes but was unable to clear it until she had served another customer which was fine although rather odd as she had just brought out our drinks and was going back that way. We had our brunch served few minutes later all looked fabulous unfortunately to my disappointment the hash royals I had did not have the smoked salmon which was main reason I’d chosen Everything else was cooked and tasted lovely but for nearly £10 you expect the full recipe I thought I’d just mention to waitress when she came to clear table from previous customers however she never did nor did anyone check if everything was ok. For spending around £80 for 2 children and adults on brunch I feel it didn’t quite reach the standard I expected unfortunately

Well we were booked for a surprise 60th Birthday meal on 22nd December 2023. Spoke directly with the restaurant to book & he phoned back to clarify . Just under before someone said they were shutting for Christmas & New Year - their last night was Monday 18th. I rang them constantly that evening with no answer, & I’ve rang them since. I have emailed them with out reply. I have never in my life had such poor customer service

Amazing food! We were in Weymouth for the Ironman and manage to get a walk in table late afternoon, really worth it. We got oysters (so fresh and with the vinegar and shallots). My partner took the starter of the day with octopus and then he had the fish and chips. I got the mussels and I’m still thinking about it. The only thing to keep in mind is the restaurant is small and the team as well so don’t be in a rush as there is some waiting time between the dishes.

Husband and I stopped for coffee and cake. The selection of cakes was substantial and flavours that I had not seen before. We enjoyed our coffee and cakes, staff friendly.
