Had a lovely meal as always! The waitress was very friendly and chatty. The only thing that could have been better was to ask if we wanted anymore drinks as we were only asked once...

The restaurant looks good as you approach which is always nice when you visit somewhere for the first time. We were given a table at the front by the windows and not far from the main entrance. This was an issue as people were exiting the restaurant to smoke right out the front of the restaurant and the smoke/smell was coming back into the building. If we had approached the restaurant with people smoking right out the front we would have had a very dim view before we had even entered. The waiter who was serving our table was literally watching us eat. The minute we put anything down he was over to take it away. We had to stop him taking our first course. We pay to be in a restaurant to relax, enjoy the food and talk. We felt watched the whole time and when we started to chat we were interrupted unnecessarily. The food was ok, not what we had excepted. Our favourite restaurant of all time was the City Bay Veiw in Poole so we have eaten Chinse food before and really enjoyed it, however not on this occasion. The whole experience was not great. We will have to continue our search for a decent Chinese restaurant.

From arrival to departure our visit to 1805 was excellent. The service was attentive and friendly throughout and the food was of the highest quality. This is the third time we've been and we will be going again.

The girl that greeted us was not very welcoming. We thought to be told that we had to order drink before we could see the food menu was EXTREMELY odd and we were not happy about that at all. (my husband orders the wine so my daughter and I were left looking at nothing). It took ages to get our wine; we had to ask for it. We were asked how our food was before I had even taken a mouth full!!

Booked for 9pm, eventually seated at 9:20. Walk in customers were seated before us. Waited ages for starters, what we had was very nice, however due to the length of time everything took we declined the main course. Staff were very apologetic but not really acceptable in my opinion.

Lovely food, but pretty expensive. We ate at around 6 and were the only people in the restaurant at first, so there wasn’t much atmosphere - but you can’t blame them for that. The staff were friendly and efficient.

1805 was understaffed which meant the experience of what was a very nice meal was affected by the slow response and service

The vegetarian options were poor - one of them was so greasy it was inedible. The restaurant offered to swap it and then charged me extra when the billed arrived!

This was a last-minute booking prompted by my wife’s craving for dim sum, so we had honestly no idea what quality to expect. Thankfully, the food here is exceptional. We have been disappointed by all he Chinese restaurants we have visited so far in the Poole/Bournemouth area since moving here, so it isn’t wonderful to have now found one so good.

The food and service was excellent but pricey. Cheapest set meal for 3 plus two beers each and water £145. Maybe I’m just out of touch !
