    Had the mixed grill, thought it could have been better: for example onion rings grilled tomatoe and chop maybe as l have had at other pubs. Also specials board displayed with items not available.

    We have been to Al Molo a few times now and are delighted we can bring our dogs, once of which has separation anxiety so we always need a dog sitter otherwise. We had the valentines menu and were able to order in and advance. We both had duck to start with my husband having lamb as the main and myself the monkfish. Desert was chocolate mousse for me and cheesecake for him. All the food was beautifully presented and so tasty. The chef is amazing. We felt it good value for money for a special occasion and the dogs were given water as well which is a nice touch. They deserve every award going down it was lovely to hear they had got the Bronze Dorset Tourist award (should have been gold). Apologies to any of the diners who were annoyed by Daisy having a little yap on the way in - her eyesight isn’t what it was and she gets a bit overwhelmed. She soon settles down. Thank you again for a wonderful evening.

    Really enjoyed the Cote breakfast on New Year’s Day. Excellent food, very pleasant and efficient staff - just a little noisy. This is as a result of sound bouncing off all the hard surfaces. We recently attended similar restaurants that have installed ceiling baffles that improved the noise significantly.
