This was our first visit to 1805. Very impressed with the style of the restaurant. Very friendly staff. And the food was absolutely amazing. By far the best Chinese we have ever eaten. I would thoroughly recommend this place.

The food is very nice and the setting just right. It isn't the cheapest restaurant in Bournemouth but certainly worth a visit on occasions.

Very noisy restaurant, couldn’t hear the person next to me. Then we had a 45 minute wait for food after the starter. When that arrived, the lamb chops were smallest portion of food I’ve ever seen & were very expensive. The saviour was the veggie duck! Overall very disappointed. There are better places.

Greeted warmly before being shown to our table. It was my birthday and that was acknowledged by all the staff. We had the set lunch menu and added an extra dish which was no problem at all. The wine choice was difficult because of the good choice and reasonable prices. The food as always was exceptional the Kung Po prawns were amazing. The service was perfect and although it was lunchtime we weren’t rushed. The little birthday dessert with a candle was a lovely surprise and treat. When we visit Bournemouth we usually visit 1805 and we will continue to. The best Chinese restaurant for us.

Too dark sat just other side of partition by the ‘lion’ Food tasty but pork in lychee wine went cold very quickly. Service ok but no one asked if we would like dessert or coffee. Went and asked for menus ourselves.

Excellent experience. Booked restaurant as it was walking distance from our hotel. What a find! Felt well looked after ftom the minute we walked in. Food more expensive than what we are used to, but the quality justified the price. It was coming up to Chinese New Year. We were even treated to a Dragon Dance! Highly recommend.

Amazing Chinese cuisine. I was treated to a birthday dinner by my partner. He is fussy with food but we both thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. A bit pricey so good for special occasions. 10/10 will recommend

Restaurant looks lovely. Awkward to find parking so in summer it's quite expensive! Food delicious if somewhat on the expensive side. Lovely for a special occasion. My honest opinion is it felt we were being rushed and the service which was added onto the bill automatically wasn't that good and that is why I have given it this review. A few tweaks and it would be amazing!

Food was amazing! Portion sizes were good as sometimes you worry for the price but no really good portions. I love the cloakroom facility I was just a bit worried when we were leaving to pick which coat was ours maybe need to add in table numbers or something so coats don’t go missing

Celebrating joint birthdays on a Saturday evening, the staff were very rude with poor customer service skills. We were rushed to order food when we hadn’t even received our drinks. Style over substance. Would not recommend unless you want to be told to be quiet and hurried in and out of the doors. Expensive and slightly disappointed with the whole experience.

Food was nice but the prices are insane for what you’re actually getting! The restaurant was nice and clean but we were seated between two jam packed tables so we couldn’t even hear one another. Definitely could do with organising the seating better and maybe adjusting their prices slightly

As always the food was amazing. Only 2 gripes one of our waiting staff was chewing gum and there was a service charge added. I like to tip independently and they would have had more. Oh well. We will return.
