Lobster pot

Today we went to the lobster pot restaurant at portland bill. as a continuation from my eateries in and around weymouth I've decided to review this place as well.

food quality
5/5
We have been coming here ever since we've been coming to weymouth and can confidently say that we've never had a bad meal. The food here is excellent and there is a wide variety on offer. Also there are some things that are no longer on the menu yet if you are a regular will know about and if you ask they can still make it for you which shows very good customer service. they also offer cream teas which are the best I've ever tasted and you will not get as good a cream tea anywhere in the rest of dorset if not the country.
ambience
5/5
There is always a nice ambience in this restaurant. mainly because everyone is talking about the incredible view out of the windows due to the lobster pot's location. This is also evident for people who are regular visitors and yet are still amazed by the scenery outside especially on windy days with the famous race boiling like a cauldron out at sea.
price
5/5
for what you get in this place the price is excellent. Great food, big portions and freshly made means that you are never disappointed by the price when you get the bill. This is important because it means that people are more likely to regularly come back as opposed to only going on special occasions. therefor the restaurant is always busy and there is often a queue to get a table.
wifi
5/5
for a place that is so remote and doesn't even have a phone signal, the wifi connection is great. once you have entered the password the wifi is fast and when you come back again it remembers your device meaning that you don't have to reenter the password. the wifi password is clearly displayed on a notice board inside the restaurant and a member of staff will tell you what it is if you can't find it.
customer service
5/5
the customer service is some of the best I've ever experienced. the waiters and waitress' take the orders by memory and have never got it wrong since we've been going there. As soon as you sit down you are made to feel at home and made to feel very welcome. you are never rushed to order and they let you take your time which is nice. the same happens once you've eaten. they are never rushing to get rid of you so that they can get another group of people in. this means that they get a lot of repeat customers so they must be doing something right.
extras
5/5
there are loads of extras to choose from. you can get them in the shop and they range from vouchers offering a pot of tea for 1 or 2 and cream tea for 1 or 2. these are nice little gifts to buy for birthday or christmas presents as they are valid for 6 months after purchase and are a lovely gesture for someone who always goes or has never been before and you think will like it.
overall rating
5/5
the best cream teas in the county. they are amazing. the atmosphere  twinned with the price means that if you are in the area this place is a must visit attraction if not just for the views and the famous portland bill lighthouse.
