The Seaview Hotel - Seaview

Lovely food and great service from Megan, Gabby and team at the Seaview Hotel last night. For mains we tried two of the specials, lamb loin and cod loin which looked and tasted of summer and oh so so light the fish melted in my mouth, it was a delight! The deserts were also good. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant, can’t wait to return to try more of their dishes, new menu out soon too. Yummy!! ?

The two of us were really amazed with how perfect a stay The Seaview Hotel made it for us. The hotel is beautiful, the staff so attentive, kind and accommodating, the breakfast brilliant and the approach is generous and helpful. Thank you.

I recently stayed at the Seaview Hotel for a few days, while on a surprise holiday to propose to my partner. I contacted the Hotel a couple of months in advance to ask whether they'd be happy to help me make some special arrangements for the day and I'll forever be glad that I did.

I was helped from start to finish by Rachel, who went above and beyond to make sure that every detail of our stay, from flowers and chocolates in our room, to a bespoke 3-course vegan menu, was arranged and ready for when we arrived. Rachel checked in with third party suppliers, including florists and the local newspaper, and couldn't have done more to make us feel more welcome before and during our stay.

During our stay, the whole staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we received outstanding service - honestly the best we've ever had. We dined in the Aquitania each evening, served by Dom, who was fantastic, and who made sure we had a perfect experience throughout dinner. The food was brilliant, especially the Tofu Paella, Lentil Pie and Parmigiano Gnocchi, and the vegan breakfasts each morning were the best we've had. Credit to Paul and the team at breakfast, especially for the scrambled eggs! Overall, we couldn't have had a better time at the Seaview Hotel.

The experience started months ahead of our arrival, for me at least, and exceeded expectations throughout. I can't recommend this place highly enough and it goes without saying that we're already looking forward to visiting again very soon. Thank you to the all the Seaview Team! Ben & Elle.

Definitely the best Sunday Lunch on the Isle of Wight. Service excellent and the Goats Cheese Starter and the Roast Beef and Roast Pork beautifully cooked and the gravy is to die for !! Will definitely be back. Thank you for looking after us.

Just been for Xmas lunch with 5 friends. Food was excellent as was the service. All the staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We had drinks in cosy lounge before going into the restaurant and it was a lovely relaxed area. Will definitely go back!

Having just returned from spending a few days at the Seaview Hotel, we can't recommend it enough. The food and service were outstanding. The staff could not do enough for us. Being in a wheelchair can be challenging as it is, but Mark and team went above and beyond to make sure our stay was safe and comfortable. Our room was beautiful, fully kitted out to accommodate a wheelchair, with plenty of space and a well appointed wet room. There is also a lift up to the room. Breakfasts and dinner were delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next visit.

We went for dinner. It’s October so heading for quiet season, but it was a bit like fawlty towers. Turned up for our 8pm reservation - they had refused to let us come at 7.30 but the restaurant was empty - go figure.

We sat down and started to look at menus, and waiter comes out and says we have to order now as the kitchen was closing! Literally that minute or no food.

It comes perfectly nice but the crab ramekin was not a ramekin but a tiny butter ramekin - portions have halved in size. The waiter bring the wine, has not removed the cork bit pulled it straight through the foil - says it is his first time ever serving wine - he was lovely but it was comical. Then as we are half way through main course they bring the pudding out. Everyone was too scared of head chef.

Food was nice - staff were funny but it’s chaos! Don’t go expecting smooth service - it is what it is!!!!!!
