Restaurants near Ballard Down

Went to celebrate partner’s birthday. Venue buzzy, table decorated to reflect - nice a low key, no singing! Staff friendly and attentive but not in your face, it was very busy but they appeared genuinely happy to be working there. Food pretty amazing for a chain and reflects French heritage, we shared a charcuterie board, had Breton fish stew and poulet Breton it was top notch. Neither of us drink so had the Oddbirds bubbles - lovely. Only quibble was them running out of creme caramel so early on a Saturday evening; they lost our dessert order although alternatives were suggested . Keep it up would definitely recommend and return, fab value and great experience.

Great welcome when we arrived for our meal - so nice to be welcomed back. All staff very attentive and happy to help with recommendations. Excellently cooked food - piping hot food and serving dishes. All was delicious once again - can highly recommend so many of the dishes (too many to name). We spent a week in February on holiday in Swanage and enjoyed 2 evenings at this restaurant.

We had a wheelchair in the party and the restaurant staff accommodated this easily and very willingly. Service by pleasant staff could not be faulted. All food and drink was delicious. A lovely evening with friends.

Service and afternoon tea very good. Will come back.

Great food, great service, staff really friendly. Hotel needs a makeover but overall good
