Visitó con otras once personas, para un té crema para celebrar un cumpleaños. Había una amplia selección de sándwiches, bollos, pasteles y tés especiales. La comida era buena y los camareros eran muy serviciales.

Disfrutamos mucho de nuestra noche en la Ventana. Personal acogedor, ambiente encantador, y nada era demasiado problema. Comenzamos con vieiras y un delicioso plato de salmón, seguido de un filete de bacalao para mí, servido con un rosti de patatas (¡eso era un poco demasiado grande!) , y filete de filete, cocinado justo como a él le gusta, medio raro, para marido. Buen vino, también, y un servicio atento, tanto que hemos vuelto a reservar para volver en unos días. Es un corto paseo de nuestro tiempo compartido con vistas al mar. Esta fue la comida de calidad y una comida memorable.

I had afternoon tea here with my God daughter today. A slight technical issue with the online booking, meant they were not expecting us. However, we were welcomed with no problem. The service was fantastic with attentive staff meaning we didn't have to ask for anything, but we were also allowed to take our time and weren't rushed. The food was excellent and really fresh, which we were impressed with since they weren't expecting us! I will definitely be back and highly recommend.

We only went for a meal there. Service was brilliant from our waiter called Jesse. However, since we visited previously the menu has gotten smaller and the prices have gone up. Our food was ok but not worth the price. All of it was a little bit bland and definitely needed more salt. We wanted to use our tastecard which said 2 for 1 (even on Fridays) but the manager was very unhappy about us using it. They eventually allowed us to use it but it definitely soured the experience. The ambience wasn't the best as we were the only ones there for a while and they didn't have any music on in the background so you could just hear cutlery clinking. Such a shame as its fantastic location and lots of potential

Este restaurante es símbolo de una época pasada de sofisticación y estilo de la década de 1920 que mi abuela disfrutó. Las mesas de lino blanco son acogedoras. Los entrantes de Oysters (un poco en el lado pequeño) tuvieron que pedir virtualmente un panecillo extra, ya que estos no se proporcionaban desde el restaurante, sino desde la cocina situada a cierta distancia del restaurante en sí. El servicio fue un (poco) desatenta. Estábamos allí con uno de mis Masonic Lodges para un evento de fin de semana de señoras en el hotel. Sin embargo, la lingüística principal de los mariscos era sobresaliente. Y para ser justos, mi pastel de cangrejo sabía a cangrejo y fue elaborado cuidadosamente por el chef. En general, el servicio en el hotel era de un nivel muy alto.

Family birthday lunch...6 adults, 3 children. Reason for booking is that we had an amazing dinner here years back. Such a shame how disappointed we were with our recent experience. 1. Bread selection as starter. 3 slices of what seemed like stale bread (not soft nor toasted -strange). Rip off at over £6 a plate. Three choices of random dips. 2. All main courses disappointing. Heavily over salted fries. Why are these already salted before they leave the kitchen. Many diners are cautious with salt. To say they had been salted is an under statement. Awful. Fish cakes had clearly been sitting under heat lamp as the sauce had developed a skin. Duck very average. Fish and chips not crispy and not fresh tasting. Seafood linguini oily and greasy.not authentic tasting more sloppy. Kids meals very basic and uninviting. 3. Service. At no point during the meal or after the meal were we asked how our meals were. I would have been honest with my feedback. 4. Asked the waiter if the duck came with potato. His reply was, "What it says on the menu". No mention of potato so ordered some fries. Completely wasted as the dish did have potato. If a waiter is unsure, just say I'll check! Also rude response. Knowledge of the menu is important. So, all in all, we will not return. Such a shame as we love the hotel and all the public areas. The most I'd ever order is a cheese sarnie. Not quality restaurant food and certainly expensive and pricey for what it is. Very ordinary.

Had a lovely lunch today, celebrating a friends birthday. It was very relaxed and we didn't feel rushed, Michael our waiter- front of house (hope I got his name right, I'm very forgetful when it comes to names!) was very attentive and made sure or visit went without a hitch, the service was excellent as was the food. We didn't have a dessert as we had our own cake, which the restaurant were happy for us to have, they supplied plates and a knife to cut the cake. They also brought the birthday girl a plate decorated with happy birthday and some little cakes, a lovely touch. We will definitely be back. Thank you for making our visit special.

Came to ventana grand café yesterday for a ladies Christmas lunch and it was such a disappointment, I organise lots of events there and have always been so happy with the service and ambience, I don’t know what happened yesterday , it started with the bar no one to serve our drinks we had to keep going up to the bar to try and find someone to take a drinks order as we sat in the lounge first , our table was booked for 1.30 as we were told on booking that it was busy till then Micheal even called me to check on the booking and confirm numbers so they knew we were booked in , I don’t know where everyone was as we were one of 3 tables , no one came and asked us to sit down we were in the lounge till 2 .15pm and went in ourselves to be sat there for another half hour we helped ourselves to water and again had to go to the bar for our drinks , eventually we managed to get someone to take our order by the time we had our starters it was 3 o’clock then to top it all off there was a power cut and we were all sat in darkness , if we had been told there was a problem we would have gone somewhere else but with 7 hungry ladies it’s difficult at 3 pm to find some where so we had to just grin and bear it , I don’t know why there wasn’t a manager to be seen until 5 o’clock when we were leaving , food was good but the service very poor

This is the second time my partner and I have eaten at the Ventana Grand Cafe. As with our previous visit, we really enjoyed our experience. The food was really deserving of its reputation. My partner and I chose a full three courses and thoroughly enjoyed each one. The ingredients were of high quality, fresh and thoughtfully selected to compliment one another. The portion sizes whilst not huge were more than filling and very tasty. In addition to excellent food, the service was first class - really attentive and friendly without being intrusive by all members of staff that served us. We will definitely make a return visit when we are next in Bournemouth.

Had an email to say Ventana now serving brunch on Sundays between ten and half twelve @ £12.50 including toast and hot drink The food was greasy and cold at best lukewarm with absolutely no presentation. Seemed likely it was the remains of the breakfast buffet even the toast was cold. Three stars are for the excellent pot of tea and the pleasure of eating on the delightful terrace in warm weather but definitely not an experience to repeat. As locals we have enjoyed many meals in the Mirabelle and Ventana restaurants so very disappointed

My partner and myself were strolling along the front when we stumbled across the Ventana grand cafe and thought we’d have a spot of lunch. The sign said all welcome. Now I’m quite a large guy and I have a full body tattoo and my partner has many too. This shouldn’t even be a part of any review but on this occasion it’s where our experience begins. As soon as we arrived the guy holding reception (div in a cheap blue suit and glasses) began looking us up and down like we had no business being there. After asking if we’d booked a table (nearly every table was empty) we were finally seated. No one came near us again so after 15 minutes I had to go and ask for drinks. The menu said that the pink gin (£10 a glass) came with a botanic mixer. We were told we could have soda water or coke. Then finally we were graced with ordering food. My partner ordered the £19 ceaser salad. When it came it was as dry as a bone so she requested a little more dressing. What came out was a small bowl of Mayo from a squeezy bottle like you’d get from Asda. On departure I said goodbye to the div in glasses and a cheap blue suit and he simply looked away like I wasn’t even there. Who do you people think you are. You’re in Bournemouth not st. Tropez. Never again and if I did, it would only be to drown the div in glasses and his cheap blue suit in your little puddle you call a swimming pool. Pretentious and rude. If you’re not perfect looking, don’t bother……. You’re not good enough

This is one of my favourite restaurants in the Bournemouth area. I recently visited this lovely venue & was not disappointed. The service is not what it was before Covid - something noticable at most restaurants these days. & always depend on how busy they are at the time you book. The hospitality industry was affected in so many ways during Covid & later with Staff shortages & increased energy costs. of It's worth buying a card directly from Tastecard or similar restaurant discount cards. While there are conditions, "2 for 1" specials on Sundays worked in our favour. (It did not include drinks.) At the moment there is a special "2 for 1" offer available Monday-Thursday (12-9pm) and Fridays (12-3pm). Its always best to check if this offer is still on as it ends at the end of May & there are conditions eg. the discount cards cannot be used in conjunction with the hotel's "2 for 1" offer. On one occasion we booked the special afternoon tea (£40 for 2); it was superb ! Beautifully prepared sandwiches, scones & cakes were presented with a pot of tea or a speciality coffee. We were also given a surprise "taster" which was delicious & totally unexpected. Birthdays & Baby Showers sometimes gather in the afternoon for special tea-time or lunch celebrations. I highly recommend the Ventana to those who enjoy a quieter, relaxing yet plush venue; it's a perfect place to celebrate a special birthday or anniversary!

We stopped by for lunch and chose to sit outside. We ordered mussels, a salad with baked salmon, and 2 drinks. My husband got his wine right after he had paid at the bar, but a glass of tap water and a nonalcoholic cocktail were never delivered to our table. My husband ended up going back to the bar in like 20 min to get them picked up, albeit there were more than enough waiters to do this. The place was empty inside and half occupied at the terrace. After another 20 min mussels came and they tasted good (the bread that came with them was weirdly sweet though). 15 min later we were delivered the salad with no salmon! Needless to say it took them another 20 min to bake the fish… no apologies, no complimentary drinks or desserts were offered, nothing. All in all the food was good, however, overpriced, but the service wasn’t great in our case.

Three of us went for afternoon tea. Scones were stale and hard, creme was solid, sandwiches looked like they had been cut with a chainsaw. Overall a very expensive mistake. The hotel is tired and has seen better days. If you want a lovely afternoon...

We usually have a meal in the Ventana when staying at The Cumberland. It’s always worth it as the food is very good. Service very attentive too. Adriana looked after us very well.

The selection available at this semi casual restaurant is always intriguing. However the most impeccable feature is the service. I was delighted to have brought my couple to dine here as Wyves and Amelia created a flawless flow to our evening allowing us to relax...

Booked last minute for an evening meal and it did not disappoint. Super service and two-course meal. Unfortunately, we were too full for desert; but a super excuse to return.

We found the food to be excellent and beautifully presented, the staff attentaive and friendly and the wine delicious. A tad over-priced maybe, but that's usual in a hotel restaurant I guess.

Cool music with a jazzy feel made me feel very relaxed. Cool lighting. Nice ambience. Kitchen shuts at 10pm weekends. Will need to try the mussels and get here earlier. Professional staff. The Cumberland has recently been renovated and inside it feels a million times...

Comfortable, friendly service, excellent food and no rush to finish. We stayed chatting for ages. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Just ordered a meal on the website for self pick up. Once I arrived the shop, food was cooked on time, and everything was well packed. A very friendly lady to serve the pick up food. Nice experience ordering online.

Este café tan bueno y ahora es horrible. Evitar. la comida no era tan descrito (queso y cebolla en una papa horneada resultó ser una salsa muy acuoso y pequeñas) y el café era muy malo, no me molesté bebiendo. Cuando le pregunté a ver quien estaba a cargo me dijeron que no!!
