Heights Bistro - Carta

Quiet comfortable restaurant with excellent views. Service caring and professional. Quite expensive but worth it. Food good quality.

Dropped in for lunch. Welcomed warmly, with no wait time. The service was prompt, efficient, and friendly. The food tasted good and was well presented. Combined with the fantastic view it 's well worth visiting. They didn 't have John Smith on tap, but apart from that.

Opted for the carvery which at £20 is overpriced. The carvery included beef and gammon which were nice but chicken portions that are obviously not carved! Vegetables were average although good selection. Disappointing food but amazing view of chesil beach and surrounding area Ver carta

Spectacular view from our table near the window. Delicious food, lots of choice on quite a fancy menu. They were flexible to change the potato element from truffle mash to new potatoes as I don’t like mashed food. We can recommend the sea bass and lamb dishes. Good portion size. Only downside is would have liked more soft drinks choices, very limited selection and I was driving.

Visited with two couples and another friend. Under the hotel sign it says, 'Open to Non Residents ' but upon entry we were rudely told we were not allowed into the bar and it was residents only. I questioned this and pointed out the sign and was rudely told that we were not welcome. Odd as the place was so quiet it didn 't look like it could afford to turn away paying customers.

This is a great hotel; rooms are spotless and very comfortable, the Bistro offers amazing views and the food is excellent too (one tiny criticism; the evening menu needs a lighter option). What really makes this hotel special is the staff- every single person we came across was friendly, attentive and efficient. Special thanks to Belinda, she is an absolute treasure and really looked after my 89 year old mum. Thank you so much! We would definitely recommend this hotel and cannot wait to return. Ver carta

Really good Sunday lunch with family. 1st class carvery with decent fish and vege options alongside. Well cooked meat and generous veg, the usuals plus creamed sweet potato, delicious leek in mustard and cream sauce, red cabbage, all done really well. Generous desserts also; traditional Mess with meringue, open apple pie, banana split and a very intense chocolate pot, all recommended. We didn’t do starters but we really didn’t need them, if they are as good as the main they will be fab. Strongly recommend this, it was quiet as well, and of course the amazing view. Service was friendly efficient and unobtrusive

As locals to the isle , we opted to visit the heights bistro for a Sunday carvery. Staff were very pleasant and friendly, the food lets the bistro down . Although plentiful in choice , the taste was bland , salt and pepper shakers a must … How can you serve roast potatoes that are obviously mass produced and anemic with not crisp to them is criminal. The pork was extremely fatty , beef bland and cauliflower cheese lacking cheese … The 2 rating is for the leaks and red cabbage … We don’t mind paying for food when it’s actually worth it … but £100 for 4 people is very high and as locals it’s a shame we won’t be returning. Don’t give excuses that you pay for the view ….

We decided to eat at the bistro tonight as it is our last night at the hotel, we had eaten there 3 days before and had a lovely dinner. Tonight though was a complete disaster, firstly only two of our four meals were correct and the two incorrect were taken away, they were not replaced with the correct meals until after the first two were finished eating !! We were told that a member of staff had keyed in the wrong order. We then ordered dessert and sat and waited, and waited, and waited !! Eventually I asked what was happening with our desserts and was told that they were “in a line and were not forgotten “ At this point we had been in the restaurant for over two hours and had been served on...
