"Visited today for lunch and overall it was a poor and vastly overpriced experience. We had to wait a long time to be seated but that would be expected in a particularly busy service (it was averagely busy). The staff were grumpy staff and seemed to lack any motivation. The food was barely average, I ordered a roast vegetable pizza but the vegetable toppings were barely cooked at all; my partner had a chicken burger which was fine but overpriced for what it was. The pizza came from a different kitchen to the burger so arrived at different times (this is fine but no one thought to tell us this when we ordered). It took an age to catch someone 's eye to get the bill and then a further 10 15mins for someone to bring it and pay. No one in this time offered to take our plates, or ask us if we wanted anything else or even how our meal was. The tip is also automatically added to the receipt so I had to ask not to pay it. Not worth the £38.75 our meal and drinks cost in total. AVOID unless you want overpriced food and poor service at a beach location."

Excellent Experience!!! We came here, as a party of 6, for a 40th birthday celebration and it didn't disappoint.

We came to Urban Reef post-surfing for some much needed grub and they really did not disappoint! Firstly, they sat all 9 of us outside - admittedly it was

Very good location, good service but food is not that great. Had fish and chips which lacked basic seasoning and batter should have been very lightly coated so that it can be finished.

Amazing place right on the beach. Went for lunch and sat out in the sun. They seemed a bit short staffed, but were all very nice and helpful. Yes, we did have to wait a bit but it was worth the wait. The food was really good. We had squid, Korean wings and a chicken sandwich with chips. All very tasty and nicely presented. Will definitely return!

We had a brilliant corporate event, hosted by the amazing Anna. It was the perfect afternoon friends and colleagues came to help us celebrate our company birthday. Food was great, drinks were cool and the location was simply stunning. Bournemouth looked at its very best, as we had the upstairs terrace doors open and sat there looking out over the sea whilst catching up with everyone. Thank you Andy, Max and in particular Anna for ensuring the event went so smoothly. View menu

Meh. Right from the start not a great experience. Service was poor, grumpy staff, apart from 1 lady. No other option to choose how you have your eggs? Which baffled me. It’s poached and poached only. Sausage was beige, mushroom was weird, like it was microwaved? Bacon was tough and fatty. The actual poached eggs were like the ones cooked in cling film. Hash browns and beans were alright. Only one meal came out so had to wait for the other. Add to that the poor service and you have yourself quite an underwhelming time!

This used to be my favourite place to eat and drink, great food, amazing service and vibe, sadly has got worse over the years We went for a brunch breakfast on a Sunday, not too busy Serving staff were nice but not overly attentive, I ordered a coffee with hot milk arrived with no milk, had to ask for hot milk, got cold milk, coffee contained some bits towards the end. After drinks were finished, staff did not clear or ask for refills The full English breakfast was £12 or so and rather underwhelming. Bacon small rashers over cooked, mushroom over cooked, poached egg watery, sausage and hash brown were tasty Pancakes were served for kids and were nicely presented also tasty Nice surroundings...

"We had called-here for drinks during a previous visit to Bournemouth. We were impressed with the wine we drank, and the food that we saw served to other customers. So, today was the realisation of a promise that we made-to-ourselves to revisit and, this time, dine! We were a few-minutes early for our 19:30 reservation having allowed too-much time for our half-a-mile walk from our hotel. The restaurant was not busy, and there were scant customers during our 2½ hour stay. There was only one, very pleasant, member of staff in the bar/dining area. We had assumed he was the Manager, and he did everything: menus, drinks, food orders, food service, and payment. He did this pleasantly with good humour, plus impressive efficiency and knowledge. The food here is principally ‘Sharing Boards’ but also available were smaller (snack) servings of Artisan Cheese and Charcuterie and other “Nibbles”. We chose an ‘Ultimate Board’ (intended for two people sharing and costing £36.95 in total). Within this price you select four types of charcuterie plus four types of cheese to complete the board. Drinks: we started with a 175ml glass of “Martin Codax Albariño” for each of us. The extensive and impressive wine list offers a good selection available by the 175 or 250ml glass: 6 white wines, 3 rosé wines, 9 red wines, 3 sparkling wines and 9 aperitif/digestif wines. The Albariño was very much enjoyed, whist we decided which bottle of wine we would have with our meal. After much thought we chose a bottle of Bin 31 ‘Laibach (Sur Lie) Stellenbosch’; a white wine from what is a great wine-producing region in South Africa. This was superbly delicate and gently flavoured; with the very slight effervescence from the ‘Sur Lie’ fermentation method (fermentation on the lees). We know this method well from Sur Lie Muscadet wines, from the Sèvre-et-Maine region in France. With our wine chosen, we concentrated on the charcuterie and fromage that we would like with our ‘Ultimate Board’. There was much debate between us, but eventually: Our choices of charcuterie were: Salami Milano: with a perfumed scent that was such a delight. Pâté: quite fine but rich and flavoursome. Venison Salami: surprising and just superb. Smoked Pancetta: we loved this delicately smoked pork belly which was served in the thinnest slices imaginable. The cheese was far more difficult to choose: A Cheddar was a no-brainer and it was good; however we have ‘Vintage’ Cheddar at home (aged for 36-60 months); so the Cheddar here was a bit tame for our tastes. Oak Smoked Lincolnshire Poacher: this was very disappointing as half of the piece was totally inedible rind, and the rest was almost impossible to cut with the cheese-knife provided. I brought this to the attention of the Manager this was exchanged with more of the Cheddar. Northern Blue: good and creamy and appreciably tangy. We had another cheese which was firm and good eating, but we cannot recall it’s name (that’s our fail then). To be honest, and sadly, we found the cheese to be not anywhere as good as the charcuterie, we like mostly hard, or at least firm cheese, with strong flavours. Brie, Camembert and other soft cheeses rarely feature at our home (the somewhat explains our choices). The board was loaded with extra ingredients: a good selection of salad and fruit: cream cheese stuffed cherry tomatoes, lovely crunchy astringent cornichon, fresh grapes and pitted olives. There was also a pot of hummus, onion relish, cheese crackers, and a basket of bread (the latter of which we ordered a second). The meal was still a very favourable experience; made better by the extra cornichon provided. Just because I said how much I loved the texture and flavour of these wonderful ‘little gherkins’. After our board we were quite replete and there was no-way we could have managed a dessert, but an extra glass of Viognier for my Partner, and a wonderful 10-year-old Tawny Port for myself, finished-off the meal splendidly."
