The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Poole South West

We came again last (Thursday) as usual very nice time and service. Ordered a bottle of Falanghina as we did last time from menu at £22 which we charged last time. Looking at bill when got home you charged £27.60 last night and looking at web site it’s priced at £23? Prices should not differ. If price on menu is wrong people should be told when ordering. Maybe can clarify and get this consistent. Have E mailed but no response 🤷‍♂️

Amazing little find in Poole! Great breakfast, great service. Immaculately clean and fresh. Not filled with any fried smells. Thoroughly recommend!

We arrived at Rockfish between what might be considered normal lunch and dinner service slots, when many restaurants close for an couple of hours, so the restaurant was relatively quiet. The dining room felt spacious with its high ceiling and partitioned seating and everything was bright and clean. Sadly the staff seemed a bit muted and despondent. After a half-hearted welcome at the door, we had to stand around whilst they found one of the many empty tables for us. It all felt a bit beige After MONKFISH SCAMPI starters we both plumped for the SEA BREAM with NEW POTATOES. No complaints about the food as such. It was all ok, on a par with any other fish and chip restaurant. Whilst we appreciate Rockfish's sourcing ethic, all in all it seemed a little expensive for what we got and I'm sure that the atmosphere is much better when the place is busy.

Bit hit and miss. I’ve had some good fish and chips but sometimes the batter isn’t cooked enough.

Dining here is lovely, but very overrated. I found the food to be subpar what you should expect with food that lacked seasoning. Apart from that service is great and the location is great. Breakfast here is always nice too.

Amazing fish and chips. The curry sauce is also very good.

Fed up paying top dollar for LARGE COD and a fish finger turns up!! Do yourself a favour and spend your money elsewhere

Ordered 2 loaded chips, one Mexican and one green menu curry and 2 kids meals. Food was lovely, worth the wait. Will be visiting on our holiday again next year!

My wife and I were invited out to lunch at the Sandbanks Hotel in Poole yesterday. The main restaurant was closed so we three seated ourselves in the outside snack bar area. There was not a great choice but the food was said to be Italian and run by Italians, and having been to that country expected to be served a good standard of food. This was absolutely not the case. We ordered two box salads - one chicken and chorizo and the other a smoked salmon nicoise, and also a pizza. The two salad boxes were about 150mm square and contained mostly lettuce and tomato - the lady who had the chicken said the chicken pieces were so small she could hardly see them. I had the pizza, and because I was hungry I did try to eat it - but had to leave about half. I would compare it to an inferior supermarkey pizza. I have had pizzas in Naples at a quarter the price and they have been far superior. Added to the food were a J2o orange, a 250ml glass of wine and one beer. The total cost £62.00! We left still hungry and went to an Italian restaurant in Westbourne a couple of hours later, and for about the same price we had seafood risotto, sirloin steak and sea bass in a champagne sauce along with the same drinks. It does not take an expert in Maths to work out who is giving value for money! A complaint was made at the time, and to be fair both the kitchen and the hotel manager offered a refund - which was declined, as the point of the complaint was not to get money back but to highlight what was thought to be an unacceptable situation. The place looks lovely with great views over the beach and sea, but it is an "eatery" not a viewing platform. We obviously would never lunch there again - but we all felt that they are serving inferior food at inflated prices. It is a shame as it denegrates the overall reputation of this Hotel. If you charge top prices you should serve top quality food.
