The Anchorage - Poole

Food was very nice. But was very quiet and no real atmosphere. Also some staff would need more training. Free, but not spacious car park.

Loch Fyne is part of a chain of restaurants mainly seen in the southern part of the country. We thought from the name that it must have some Scottish seafood influence. The menu we saw online looked good and there was plenty of choice, it just was rather expensive. We got there early and were seated straight away. It wasn't busy when we got there, however our waiter Paul forgot to start with our drinks order, we were never shown a drinks menu, so we only received water for the table. He also was unsure with all the questions we asked, as he said brandade was just a paste that had no meat in, and when we Googled it afterwards it says it's a sauce consisting of salt cod oil and potatoes. He also kept repeating having to churn the fish pie, I must have heard it about 4 times. For starters we had the scallops which were a bit bland and the soup which only tasted of tomatoes when really it should be a fish soup. For mains we got the fish pie which was quite a large portion. There was lots of seafood in it but I found it very salty and some of the salmon was very hard and chewy. We also got the meagre fillet where the okra was not cooked at all, and the seafood risotto where the samphire was gritty and stringy. For dessert we had the chocolate tart which was a tiny portion for the price and the mascarpone was bland, it could have done with some orange flavour through it. Overall we didn't have a brilliant time here, food was ok but not to the standard of the Scottish seafood we were hoping for. Very expensive for what was given and service could be better.

Food is beautiful, very tasty and super filling. Good menu selection and specials. We enjoyed everything and we're looking forward to.our next visit. Parking is tight so you may have to park in local side roads. Highly recommended a visit. Thank you team Loch Fyne, great job.
