Really loved the food and the atmosphere. Will definitely be back

We had the greatest visit yesterday, food and drinks were all great. I don’t have any issues with paying the £2.50 entrance fee, which is advertised so shouldn’t come as a shock. It’s not just for the cats upkeep, it’s for all the other overheads too, it’s a small business after all. And ultimately we went to see the cats who were all super friendly and very sweet! We will definitely visit again.

Such an amazing addition to beautiful Southbourne Grove. Great food, fabulous atmosphere and value for money. I will be visiting again very soon! Thank you for coming to Southbourne x

Came on New Year’s Eve, great atmosphere, service was slightly slow but very busy night and new restaurant so understandable. The pork cheeks and pan con tomate was to die for! The lights were quite bright is my only critique, otherwise excellent visit and we will be back.

Amazing Experience - cats were friendly and sociable, food was nice and the staff were so incredibly friendly and happy to answer any questions- will definitely visit again :)

The food was lovely and tasty and on time. Staff were very good.

Great food, drink, staff and service. Nice little venue, what's not to like?

Came today. Children loved it and the cats were lovely but it felt very unfinished, wasn't at all clean and not very comfortable. Food was expensive which in itself isn't a problem but the quality was poor for the price. Staff were very friendly. A £2.50 entry per person seems extortionate...I understand the cats need looking after, but there is only four of them. It doesn't cost me that much to look after three dogs a month! The idea is great but I would suggest giving the place a decorate, a clean and one or two more cats!

Fab place! Cosy warm, and great staff

We had a very welcome reception by the waitress who showed us to our table and said she would be over to take our order, but as we were didn’t want to wait we went to the bar to order anyway. The food was slightly delayed as apparently the chef wasn’t happy with his mashed potato, but when the food arrived, it was hot and tasty and certainly, no complaints. We have been before in the summer, so we were glad it was still as good as expected.

We visited the Monday before Christmas and the pub was very busy. We had requested a table in the quiet area near the road, but when we arrived there were some girls sitting at the table. The waitress offerd to ask them to move, but my wife had found an empty table next to the bar. The beer (49er) was excellent but it ran out after the first pint. Starters of marmite rarebit and bread and homous were very good and we looked forward to the main course. Two of us had the fish platter. There were no rollmops or gravlax just a big pile of fried fish with some mussels. When my wife pointed out the missing items the waitress came back immediately with some excellent smoked salmon. The fried fish was covered in thick batter and that and the fishcakes were all oercooked and dark brown in colour - disappointing. We would definitely go back for drinks and the atmosphere, but not to eat. Mick

Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to the Rembrant for a Sunday carvery with family, fabulous food , friendly staff etc, our only disappointment was with the price of the drinks we thought £31 for 2 glasses of wine a pint of Guinness and two none alcoholic drinks a little expensive . I would highly recommend the Rembrant for Sunday Lunch and in my opinion one of the best carvery's in Weymouth.

We visited yesterday and were amazed at how lovely it was! The cafe has a great layout with comfortable seating and clean facilities. The cats are well cared for and friendly. The food and drink available was also great. Looking forward to visiting again.

What a lovely place to visit ! The kittens were so cute & very sociable. My Grandson from Oxford wants to move here now !!

Visited yesterday with the children I care for. Was overwhelmed with disappointment. Even though I booked the table a few weeks before we were on a “table” which was some pillows on a windowsill which was very uncomfortable. Didn’t order food because I didn’t want to eat off my lap. It’s also an extortionately priced experience with already paying £7.50 before drinks and the fact that squash cost £1.75 and a can of soft drink was £3.40. Seems quite steep. The cats weren’t very active, which of course isn’t the cafes fault but the children we upset they couldn’t see more. The staff were very friendly and the service was okay. Wouldn’t be rushing back unfortunately because the whole experience only occupied the children for 26 minutes…. Nice unique idea tho.

Easy to book a table. Lovely Christmas atmosphere. Brilliant menu for both adults and children. Staff were so helpful and caring. Brilliant family start to the holidays. Thank you.

Excellent food . Great service and reasonably priced ,would visit again.

This is our second time hear and we had such a lovely time. Service was quick, there is a variety of food available to cater for most. Prices were reasonable for what we had. The cats are just gorgeous. There was one particularly playful cat who really enjoyed playing with the toys with us. We sat in the window, it was the prefect spot to watch the cats exploring there's environment. We had booked online but they were able to take some walk in while we were there, so worth a try.
