Description: Mallam���s at the Quay restaurant on the waterfront in Weymouth enjoys long-time status as one of this town���s favourite eateries. The intimate atmosphere in the Grade II listed building with its beams and stone walls is beautifully complemented by white linen, dark wood and gleaming crystal. Fresh, local, seasonal produce is transformed into modern European dishes cooked to order. Since opening the restaurant over twenty years ago, the owners of Mallam���s have set out to provide simply good food and that is on-going to this day. The wine list is an ever-evolving work of art with newly-discovered labels coming on-stream all the time. If you fall in love with the place, a sweet harbour-view holiday flat upstairs lets you stay the night.

Booked for Valentine's eve dinner so, as expected, a full house. Food fine, service ok. Enjoyed the turbot. Waitress a bit jaded by our arrival. Would have liked to have food, eg pate's, cheeses, mixed desserts, described when put down. Will return and try again. More

Visited between Christmas and New Year (because most other restaurants would only provide a set Christmas Menu). Having frequented Mallams on a number of occasions previously, I was pleased to see that the standards were still as high. The staff are pleasant and attentive, the menu always contains a good selection and the standard of the food is very high.... More

We chose the 'Special' with a free glass of bubbly which was 3 courses at £19.99 each.It was a Monday so the place was quiet.The bubbly arrived in a flash! The service was impeccable. There was a lot of choice even for a 'Special' The starter of a prawn dish was plentiful and delicious.The main 'Trio Of Fish' was excellent... More

Thank you for posting your review, we are glad you enjoyed the food. It is always nice to hear that customers have made a return visit. We acknowledge that the issue of the tables has been raised before. I am afraid the limitations of our listed building do make it a little tricky, but we would urge people especially on... More

We took over the whole restaurant for a pre wedding dinner for family and friends. We were treated to fabulous food wine and service and cannot speak highly enough of all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble for Janice and we have no hesitation in recommending the restaurant. An excellent evening thanks all - Sarah. More

Have been to Mallams a good few times now, have always left feeling like I've just had a 'treat'. The food has always been wonderful, the service is first class. Delightful atmosphere and intimate setting. Everything is obviously down to personal preference but for my partner and I, Mallams never disappoints . More
