"On the day of our 10th anniversary on the island of Portland, we found ourselves on the way back to South-East Devon. After a long journey, a visit to the lighthouse and a walk along the coast, we were in need of a drink and some food. We decided to dine at The Boat That Rocks and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Despite some negative reviews, I personally loved their 10 oz burger and my companion enjoyed her chili con carne. The staff was extremely friendly, checking on us multiple times to ensure everything was to our satisfaction, even though we were seated at a large and busy table. Thank you for helping us end our vacation on a high note."

Great little find. Lovely restaurant and staff with a stunning view of the marina! Generous portions and delicious food! Lots of outside tables and spaces to park. They were happy to alter my dish too from mushy peas to a yummy salad!

I went to The Boot That Rocks for the second time today. It is a lovely restaurant with a clean and inviting atmosphere, and the staff are very friendly. I tried the fish and chips this time, and while it was a tasty meal, the service wasn't as great as my last visit. Nevertheless, I would be happy to visit again in the future.

I didn't make a reservation but still managed to get a table at this restaurant. The food was delicious and even the children finished their plates, which rarely happens! The location at the marina is great with fantastic options for both eating and drinking. There are plenty of seats both inside and outside. I would definitely recommend dining here.

Amazing vibe for such an out of the way place. Odd parking system that needs explaining but they will give you a QRcode to scan when you leave. I'm still not sure if I needed to with a Blue badge but we did it just in case. Only had a drink rather than food but it was an amazing view across the harbour watching the tug boats bring in the large ships.

"We were in Weymouth! It was the last evening of October 2023! It was raining and blowing a hoolie! That is until we entered ‘Les Enfants Terribles’! We were met by Chef Eric and immediately transported to a sultry romantic evening somewhere in France! It was warm and inviting, with the lighting, the music and the aroma of French cooking! We were shown to our table by Kieran our brilliant waiter for the evening, where we ordered a beautiful bottle of Merlot. My partner chose the seafood soup from the 3 course set menu starters and I opted for the grilled squid on a bed of chickpeas! Both starters were cooked to perfection and delicious. Another glass of Merlot and on to the main courses! My partner choosing the Portland crab with tomato salad and fries which she adored! My choice was Chef Eric’s signature dish of whole Seabass fillets with leeks, carrots Fennel and white wine, cooked and served in foil, which was the finest fish dish I have ever eaten! Desserts were chocolate cheesecake and a calvados based liqueur coffee to finish off a fantastic experience, with the stars of the show being the Seabass and Grilled squid! Chef Eric was on hand to answer our questions regarding his food and showed genuine interest in us! Kieran, our waiter, being so attentive and professional made our dining experience a joy! Thank you again Chef Eric and his team!"
