We took our daughter as a birthday treat. Friendly staff who talked to us about each of the cats, their traits and likes/dislikes. There were 4 cats in total, so less than other cafes we have visited, but we still got the opportunity to stroke and play with each of them. We did not eat, but the food looked great, but we had hot drinks. It was a pleasant way to spend just over an hour if you love cats!
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterThe food was excellent as usual. The staff attentive and polite and having live music was an added bonus
Olive Tree – BridportVisited my dad and sister in Weymouth and took them to The Rembrandt for a carvery last weekend. Very impressed and will be returning at the next opportunity. Very generous meat portions and huge selection of lovely vegetables. The dauphinouse potatoes were lovely . The service was great..really friendly and helpful. 10 out of 10
The Gallery Restaurant at the Hotel Rembrandt – WeymouthAbsolutely wonderful food and good service within this great Restaurant Will go back there again, when next in Bridport with my husband
Olive Tree – BridportWe had an absolutely amazing time at Tabby Terrace on Sunday 29.03.26. Such a lovely lady hosting (apologies, I can't remember her name) but she did a fantastic job of explaining everything and taking our orders, bringing out the food etc. Very friendly and helpful. Didn't see the chef as it was pretty busy but the food was absolutely lovely. Drinks a little pricey, especially the soft drinks but no more than in other cafes. I couldn't find the menu online prior to going which would have been handy as there were 6 of us and 2 travelled separately and got held up, so we could have ordered for them, but apart from that it was amazing and we will certainly be back. The kitties were so friendly and came up to say hello to people as they were coming in. Very well looked after with lots of toys, beds and scratch posts etc. We were very impressed with Bubbles' party trick of catching treats in his paws!!
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterAn excellent Sunday lunch. I would recommend this restaurant. Lovely attentive staff.
The Gallery Restaurant at the Hotel Rembrandt – WeymouthFood fabulous,couldn’t fault it or the service 10/10. But it was like eating in a works canteen, no atmosphere, ambience ,nothing at all it put me off coming again. But thank anyway to the staff and the wonderful food and the chef.
The Gallery Restaurant at the Hotel Rembrandt – WeymouthWent for Sunday carvery, have been to the Gallery a fair few times over the years and never been disappointed, carvery is always really good, however, on this occasion just a couple of very small criticisms, the Yorkshire puddings were all burnt! and Yorkshires are very important to me, and the roast potatoes had obviously been sat a while, and not as Crispin as I've had in the past, as I said, two very small niggles. Staff are always great.
The Gallery Restaurant at the Hotel Rembrandt – WeymouthGreat food, good service and a convenient location all go to make the Olive Tree the place to have a meal
Olive Tree – BridportFantastic really enjoyed it all food atmosphere and especially the cats and the the lovely host just loved it all
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterSuper friendly atmosphere. The lady there on Thursday was very kind and polite. The cats are super cute and friendly overall a great experience.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterBeautiful cafe with excellent service. Cake was delicious and coffee was great. Cats are soooo cute. An amazing experience and would definitely go again. Would highly recommend. Thank you
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterExcellent service, wonderful food. We will be back
Olive Tree – BridportA lovely time spent with gorgeous, friendly cats! Chocolate brownies were tasty, the staff wonderful and they decorated with birthday banners in advance for my daughter’s birthday. Will definitely return!
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterSuch a lovely restaurant. A real treat to eat here. The fish is second to none and so fresh and delicate. The vegetables are always a main event in themselves and such a lovely variety (samphire, white beetroot, carrot, sugar snap etc) rather than the usual carrots and peas many places offer. As a gluten free customer the fact that they don’t bulk out sauces etc with flour is a real plus.
Olive Tree – BridportBeen here several times and always had a great meal. Service was excellent and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.
Ming Wah Restaurant – WeymouthBeen to The Olive Tree on several occasions always lovely food with pleasant staff ❤️Highly recommended.
Olive Tree – BridportSeven of us in our party, we had 3 large and four small carveries which were amazing, meats plenty and the veg and potato’s were plentiful and hot and fresh. So no complaints there, however at £8 each the desserts were not goo unfortunately myself and my dad went for the apple and mixed berry crumble it consisted of stewed fruit with what seemed like crumbled shortbread biscuit on the top I went for custard an my dad had the tiniest ball of ice cream with water cress on the top of it! My kids both had the ‘rocky road’ sundae which was icecream, cream and the tiniest cubes of brownie in it! In short will definitely come back for the roast but will 100 percent stay away from desserts
The Gallery Restaurant at the Hotel Rembrandt – WeymouthSunday Carvery served from 12pm-9pm. Large selection of meats, trimmings and vegetables plus fish and vegetarian options. Adults, £18.50; Children, £12.
