Best restaurants near me in Swanage, England

From the moment we arrived the staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We had a small child with us and the staff went out of their way to cater to their dietary needs and adapt a meal to suit their tastes. The food is exceptional, bursting with wonderful full flavours and portions large enough to leave everyone feeling very full. Every plate was completely empty, no one wanted to miss a single bite of the food. I really highly recommend the restaurant, it's always such a fantastic experience from start to finish, and has easily become my favourite restaurant for all occasions.

Excellent service all round by the gentleman who was front of house Food was very good and reasonably priced A good experience and we will be visiting again soon

Visited for the first time today, although myself and hubby have visited a number of ivys in the past and the new Bournemouth brasserie lived up to the high expectations of the Ivy. We were greeted with very friendly, welcoming and accommodating staff that honestly could not do enough for us. The decor is absolutely stunning and the service from start to finish was impeccable, we felt like royalty!! Most importantly the food was stunning. It was served to us in a very timely manner, well presented, hot and it was extremely delicious. We have already booked for Valentine’s weekend as we were totally blown away by the whole dining experience. Thank you and merry Christmas to all the wonderful hardworking staff at the Ivy that really did go above and beyond to make our experience a fantastic one.

Pleasantly surprised at the peaceful atmosphere. We could enjoy this good meal and hear each other speak, such an unusual feature as you grow older. I hear the breakfast is very good too!

We had a lovely meal, a lovely lady who was our waitress for the evening, I her name was Rosie, was wonderful, so bubbly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely evening.
