A long, leisurely lunch. Delicious food and exceptional service. We were extremely well looked after by the staff. Service on point, swift and courteous. Food arrived quickly and tasted great. We chose from the weekly set menu which was great value for money. Super fresh and delicate Mackerel for starters followed by an excellent bream. Our glasses were topped up throughout and we just had an excellent time. So much so that we were the last ones to leave.

This review is about 3 months late but I promised I wouldn't forget to leave a review. We visited the Jetty for my Dad and his partner's joint 60th birthday dinner, and we had the best time! The food, atmosphere and service was perfect. Daniel our waiter was brilliant and immediately matched our energy, joined in some jokes at the right time and bought out a surprise birthday dessert without any of our knowledge. Above and beyond service. Thank you, Daniel!

Had the mini Gastro which we’ve had a couple of times before and on previous occasions it’s been exceptional. This time however, the food was lacking. The amuse buche was ok but a bit spicy for the start of a meal and just before the Devilled crab crumpet with tempura soft shell crab and coriander which was very bland and didn’t taste of crab at all. Then came the pumpkin risotto which was fine. The ‘main’ was a piece of cod with brown crab topping, but again the taste of the crab was almost completely lost, maybe due to heat? The best course was dessert Iced Chocolate Parfait with Griottine cherries and cherry ice cream. All in all a pleasant experience with good service and a nice atmosphere but we did not enjoy the mini Gastro this time around.

There is just something very special about The Jetty and I don’t think I will ever tire of writing a review as there is always something to celebrate and acknowledge. All the staff are exceptional with a friendly welcome, attention to detail and attentive service. All the food is beautifully cooked and presented and there is so much choice meaning there is something for everyone. The view speaks for itself and the atmosphere is lively and busy. For us, it is Anna that makes coming here for lunch exceptional - her care, her recall of previous conversations and food choices - what a memory - and her sincere and genuine nature is exemplary so thank you! We must also thank those who enabled Mum to celebrate her birthday in style at the start and with an additional treat at the end; this is why we travel from the other side of the forest!

My wife & I had dinner there recently whilst staying at the Harbour Hotel. A warm welcome is always a good start to a meal & so it was here. We both had a 2 course set meal @ £29.50 each which was very good value. My wife had Buttersquash soup followed by a Wild Mushroom Risotto, both excellent. I had a chicken dish for mains & a dessert I don’t remember the name of but it was outrageously sinful! The wines were also very good. We had a Malbec I think. Overall the meal was a very enjoyable experience & the Jetty is well worth a visit.

We come here every year from NW of London, to celebrate our wedding anniversary as Alex Aitken was the Head Chef at Whitley Ridge where my wife and I spent our honeymoon, so Alex's food holds special memories for us. Anna looked after us tonight as she has done before with the same skill and professionalism. Nice work as always Anna, thank you. Our table was late being ready tonight but no problem, we were not in a hurry and our hosts looked after us with drink and nibbles while we waited. Our meal this evening was delicious. Crab, sole, salmon, venison (not all on the same plate) were our food of choice, with a nice bottle of Chenin Blanc. Dessert was delightful. Lots of chocolate, ice cream, pastry and crumb. We'll be back as we were not disappointed. We knew we wouldn't be. If you've not visited please do. I think if you're a fan of seafood you'll be at home here and there's always enough for those of you who prefer turf to surf. Either way I hope you enjoy it as much as my wife and I have over the years. Update 2024: here we are again. Lovely meal, great service, atmosphere was great, absolutely perfect. We'll be back again next October.

I feel abit bad only giving it 3☆'s as it was highly recommended. Firstly i booked it online and let them know my son had a peanut/nut allergy. On arrival we weren't even asked our name and we were led to a table with beautiful views. I tried to let the manager about my sons allergy who didnt seem to care very much and said there were no nuts on the menu and the first thing i spotted was a dish with pistachios. So for a very expensive restaurant they were not very knowledgeable on allergies. The bill at the end for a 2 course x 3 with no alcohol just water to drink as we were all driving and we werent asked once if we wanted soft drinks for £225 i didnt think deserved 5 stars. On the plus the restaurant was beautiful on stunning surroundings and the waitress with the pink/purple hair was very nice.

We came as a party of seven to celebrate my dad’s 84th birthday. I had popcorn chicken followed by surf & turf. The service was very pleasant and the view nice but the review reflects all our feelings that the food was nothing special for the price tag. My popcorn chicken was dry, overcooked and delivered with no dips. It was far below parr. The main course was nice enough but again, nothing special. My sister-in-law had the salmon and described it as flavourless. Dad had the crab - his personal favourite but said it wasn’t a patch on Rick Stein.

We had lunch here as a birthday treat in late August on a Wednesday. We had drinks on the hotel terrace overlooking the lagoon and watched the world go by, really quite delightful. Recommend the garden martini. The maitre’d was really welcoming and we had a choice of dining indoors or on their terrace , as it was a lovely summer day, we decided outdoors. We had the choice of menus , one aka carte or fish. Starters were a seafood arancini and scallops with a courgette mousse and mains were lemon sole with a salmon mousse and dover sole with samphire and tenderstem broccoli. All were delicious, however the samphire was cold. Service was hit and miss, I suspect if we had dined indoors it would have been better. The head chef was around on the day, but took no effort to engage with the diners , which is a real shame. Please be aware that parking on site is limited, so arrive early.

My friend and I ate at The Jetty yesterday lunchtime to celebrate her 60th birthday. We had a wonderful time, the staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive and the food was fabulous! It was so tasty and fresh and well presented. The happy birthday plate was a lovely touch too. The location is fantastic and the view from the floor to ceiling windows was gorgeous. The only thing was, the trees and bushes obscured the view, if they could be cut back to around one meter in height, it would make the most of the view.

As a treat for our second wedding anniversary, we went to The Jetty and it was exceptional all round. From the start the staff, to a person, were warm and helpful, attentive but not over-bearing. The location is wonderful, overlooking the harbour at Mudeford - where else do you get to dine and enjoy these views and the close company of oyster catchers and swans?! The atmosphere was lovely - relaxed yet formal enough to be a special experience. The fact that it was rammed to the gills on a Monday evening speaks volumes of the quality. I should also mention that the value for money is astounding when the quality of everything is taken into consideration. The food itself was absolutely superb. As a vegetarian, I can often feel short-changed but this was outstanding. A starter of a green garden vegetable risotto that was rich yet fresh, perfectly balanced. The main of salt-baked celeriac was amazing - the umami crust , the flavours and textures just worked so, so well. The desert of chocolate fondant with honeycomb-themed accompaniments was delightful and just the right size in proportion to its deep richness, the perfect end. Overall, I can't emphasize how happy we were with the experience; we left with great big smiles on our faces and will most certainly return.

The restaurant food is great and the setting is lovely. Be warned that the parking available is extremely limited (small number of spaces/ tight car park) and local roads + businesses are keen to ensure you don’t park nearby. We felt guests deserve more support when visiting in that regard. The 20+ mins having to faff parking and walking to the restaurant was not expected or the ideal way to start a ‘special’ lunch.

The food itself came out like works of art and they were scrumptious - I didn't expect any less. I wanted to have desert but was stuffed after the mains and starters. The skate from the fish platter wasn't to my taste - but this was on me as it is as it is. The delightful visit was finished off with a thoughtful and lovely complimentary happy birthday dessert taster. Definitely would visit again. Highly recommended.

We booked a 50th birthday celebration for my daughter (Mrs Howes) for yesterday evening. As it was her 50th birthday my wife made a lovely cake to take to the restaurant. When I asked the manager if we could bring the cake in to celebrate after the main meal, he responded by saying it was ok but there would be cover charge of £5.00 per person if they did not eat one of their desserts. Then he said “ well let’s see how the evening goes and then make a decision “ basically saying if we spent a lot there would be no charge for cutting the cake. At no time after did the manager check to see what the bill was (bearing in mind we had spent £610 ) so we fit not beg to ask again. This was very disappointing as we have been to better restaurants and they never charged. Needless to say we won’t be returning

Delicious food with a very attentive waitress called Amelia who was friendly and helpful, also with a knowledgeable wine waiter who knew is wines and after lunch liqueurs (grappa) . Due to our wedding anniversary celebration, they did a lovely chocolate piped message with some little treats on the side. The edge of the harbour is only 10 feet from your table so some very nice views of Christchurch Harbour and Hengistbury Head. I would highly recommend a visit to this restaurant. A passing note, the toilets were well stocked including lovely smelling hand soap and hand lotion, also very clean and smelling of roses.

This was such a disappointment. A 70th birthday so very special occasion. We had heard such good reviews and we had tried it before we booked so we were deeply upset by the whole experience. The food was not good. My halibut was small, dry and overcooked. I know I could have cooked it better. I had three tiny pieces of potato, two stems of broccoli and nonexistent jerusalem artichoke puree. I had asked for the sauce to be served separately and this arrived when I had finished. It was horrible. The scallops were overcooked in a starter and everything was just average. I will never eat there again. It was an expensive mistake booking there and for a restaurant of its supposed standing I cannot believe how poor it was. Just to top it off the owner parked his posh car right across two disabled parking bays. How arrogant and selfish especially as I had to park at the front of the hotel with my blue badge.

But soon ended up disappointed as we were stood by the bar waiting to be seated not to be acknowledged, we were finally acknowledged after what seemed like 15 minutes but realistically it was probably 10 minutes, we were taken to our table which was lovely, it was very loud in there as some big groups which was nice to see a restaurant busy, but you couldn't hear what people were saying at the table, we were told there was only 4 oysters left, nobody came back to take drinks for 20 minutes in the end I went up and asked if we could reserve the 4 oysters that were left and asked if we could order drinks, the waiter followed me to the table and proceeded with the drink order only for us to chase where are drinks were 20 minutes later, not a great start, we finally ordered starters and mains for them to come up minus 1 starter, so had to find out what happened, so 1 of our party had to eat starters on there own, which was not great, thought oh well mains should be good, I had already informed them I had a cheese allergy, and had ordered steak, which comes with a salad then added chips, all meals came out, 2 hours later from being seated they looked superb, my steak was lovely, then I noticed on the salad there was cheese, again had to find a member of staff as there was no check backs at all, explained they then proceeded to cook another steak, ( which I received once the party had all eaten)which again was cooked to perfection and when I finished they brought me out the chips to go with it, for a restaurant which implies they are 5 star today was very poor. When you have prawns to start no fingers bowls, no check backs on meals, have to get up to find staff to get a drink, this was no way 5 star service.left very disappointed. After the mistakes with starters and mains the whole party decided not to have desserts. And unfortunately ruined my birthday which should of been an excellent day. We went to the upper deck for drinks 30 minutes before our meal and they could not do enough for us, so as you can imagine with the Jetty having a better rating I was expecting more from them. I can not agree with The Jetty having a better rating as the upper deck were far more attentive and customer based.

went for lunch on Easter Saturday ,our Golden Wedding anniversary. Food beautifully cooked and presented. Service by Daniel was perfect, credit to restaurant. Setting perfect. The only drawback which was no fault of the staff was being seated next to a group of people who felt the need to shout so loudly at each other we could not hear each other at all, their self-entitled opinions and derogatory comments spoke volumes. Marred an otherwise special time and memory.

There’s not a bad thing to say about this restaurant experience. From the moment we walked through the door right up to the time we left we had the best service and overall experience. The views at dusk across the water were lovely and added...

We've eaten here several times and always found the food good and tasty, friendly service and good value. We called for lunch today to find the fish and chips cost £18.95. We wouldn't expect to pay that in a pub in the evening let alone lunchtime. I feel they are going to lose a lot of custom.

To echo previous comment, waiting staff full of self importance, unfriendly and curt. Starter scallops and pee purée was lovely however 4 small scallops £14.00 rather over priced. Pizza’s average with very dry edges/crusts. Hamish was lovely and polite.

Over priced, poor quality, poor service and terrible food handling and hygiene as proven by them getting only 1 star in their latest inspection. Avoid at all costs.
