"The main reason why i did not give a better review was that i discovered Gridiron via an add that appeared on instagram and i clicked on the link and checked out the menus and i noticed that you have a set menu available until 7:30 mon-sat, we attended on a friday at 5:30 but was told that the set menu was not available which was very disappointing as this is what first attracted me in the first place. I have looked at your website since that visit and noticed that it still has the set menu. Can you tell me if this set menu is still available and why i was not offered it on my visit. Thanks.. Scott Richardson"

"Began our evening with drinks outside which was very enjoyable, always a buzzy atmosphere at this pub. We moved inside to eat in the restaurant, unfortunately the food was disappointing on this occasion. The burgers were overcooked and dry and the fish and chips was mainly batter. We had Prosecco which was a special price of £20 a bottle (on Fridays) which is amazing value. We also had the Gavi which was extremely good."

"We stayed as guests at the Marriott Hotel and were looking forward to eating at this restaurant. Friday night 10th April was relatively quiet approx. 15 diners in total. The decor was uninspired and looked dated. No music so lacked ambience despite nice view over sea. Experience let down by poorly trained waiters (fingers on plate/sauce, no charm/welcome, etc. we felt they all preferred to have the night off. We picked the set menu but what a mistake felt like the food had been prepared in advance by a chef who was catering for the 'coach party crowd ' (tasteless/overcooked . With a bit of passion, a face lift, and cookery skills this restaurant could be so much better... avoid until then..."

"At the bar, drinks were being poured and the girl mentioned that the cocktail would take a while to be brought to the table. There were a total of 9 people in the bar/lounge area with three servers. After 15 minutes, I noticed the bartender folding napkins and asked for the cocktail. He gestured towards the bar where the girl had been standing before serving other customers. The bartender seemed disinterested and gave me a look as if to say, "How dare you ask?" In the restaurant, which had 5 dining tables, my daughter requested a Hendrick's gin and tonic but the server had never heard of it. She suggested a Bombay Sapphire instead, but they were out of that too. My wife asked for black pepper, but the server claimed they only had white pepper in the shaker on the table. Midway through the meal, the restaurant managers ran by and inquired about the missing black pepper. Eventually, a server brought a pepper pot to the table and mentioned that it took so long because they didn't know how to open it, but it turned out to be a pepper grinder. Despite the food being good and the service friendly, the staff seemed to have no idea what they were doing. This particular location, the Marriot Highcliff Hotel in Bournemouth, does not live up to the standards of the Marriot Group. It lacked a sense of responsibility and interest, giving off a poor impression overall. A bizarre and disappointing experience."

"We celebrated my mother's 89th birthday with a delightful afternoon tea. The setting was lovely and the seating was very comfortable. We absolutely loved the scones with jam and cream, and the selection of freshly brewed loose leaf teas was exceptional. The service was excellent, with great attention to detail. To top it off, one of the waiters even brought a small cake to the table so that I could light a candle fountain for my mother. It was a truly unforgettable experience."

"my great sister visited me and we wanted a show in the hydro. I was looking for a restaurant to book and chose fanny trollopes. the location was correct and I was a handful of time before and liked it. I had not been for one because after a mediocre meal, but each eat before that with me raving over fannys, so that this return visit was long overdue a bottle of red was ordered, but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was. we both liked it. the red wines are all between £14,95 and £19,95 – quite decent prices we had a small pre-starter of salmon with salat, crème fraiche and kapern. not in the rule one for salmon, I tentative...read more"

"The restaurant has a nice ambiance and is well-organized, but we found it to be overpriced. We were surprised to discover a discretionary 12.5% service fee added to our bill. As customers, we felt we had two choices: either pay this additional charge on top of an already steep meal or embarrass ourselves by asking the server to remove it. In our experience, the server was defensive about our concerns, leading us to decide that we would not return to this restaurant. We can't help but wonder if the extra income from this fee compensates for the customers they lose due to this policy. The service itself was acceptable, and had we not been put in this situation, we would have left a tip."

"Impromptu Thursday dinner at Paesan. Seemed to be a few walk ins, which were well accommodated. Service was attentive and friendly, but at one stage it got very busy loud think our timing was a bit too good, in that everyone wanted to pay at the same time so it took a while! Decent meal though c£50pp with a cocktail/wine each."
