A lovely restaurant with outdoor seating in a little sun trap, we thoroughly enjoyed our visits whilst staying in Ambleside recently. The pollock with chorizo mash and seafood sauce was very tasty, as was the fish pie and also the tapas. Staff were friendly and attentive and we would recommend a visit to anyone who enjoys good food.

Love the concept of this restaurant/theatre. The restaurant is well appointed and very pleasant surroundings. My meal was served on a very nice plate and I could see other meals served on a variety of other plates but I also saw that some meals were served on wooden boards - something I hate - but that's a personal choice I suppose. But with such a variety of plates it was hard to understand why serve on rather shabbily looking wooden boards.We finished off our meal with an ice cream sundae and I am afraid I found it rather overpriced for something that was ordinary at luxury prices.Staff were very welcoming, efficient and helpful. I have rated the restaurant average but it is somewhat unique and I would not want to deter people from visiting -but ask for a proper plate!Hi, thanks for your review.I am sorry you do not like wooden plates. It is very much a personal choice i guess and we have never had any feedback like yours. And they certainly are not 'shabby'.I am sorry you rated us as 'average' but again i guess that's a subjective thing.I hope you will visit us again.RegardsStan

Have visited this establishment many times over the years, however, on this occasion I felt the experience wasnt quite so good. The prices, for what was being served I thought were a bit on the steep side, though meals themselves were pleasant enough. Seating on the lower floor has a nice ambiance to it, but upstairs, felt a bit more bland somehow.Waiting staff pleasant and helpful, but given the many choices of eateries in Ambleside, I think next time, I might be inclined to give SC a miss....

A very friendly restruant, with lovely attentive staff. Excellent reasonably priced food and wine. My wife asked the waitress about the Swordfish as she had never had it before,within minutes a lovely lady came to our table and gave us a brilliant description of its texture and taste. Will definitely visit again.

We went for the minimum five courses as our appetites are not what they were!!The stand outs were the Salmon and Cod but the other three were also very nice.There was a slight mix up in that they thought we were vegetarians and we are not! However, the plus side is we got to eat food we would never have ordered!Also with this quality I might just become a vegetarian!!The front of house staff were both very helpful and charming which made for a very pleasant evening.There are only about 20ish covers so book early!!!

Dodds was recommended by our accommodation and did not disappoint. We were made very welcome and the staff were attentive and helpful. There is plenty of choice on the menu - I thoroughly enjoyed the grilled goats cheese (I had never imagined what a delight goats cheese can be when paired with caramelised pear) and home made potato gnocchi (which our waiter advised was his favourite and it quickly became mine too!). My husband thoroughly enjoyed his garlic bread and pizza - which was spicy and well flavoured. Unfortunately we were so full that we didn't have space for a pudding - perhaps next time!

Visited with my wife for my birthday and left totally stuffed!! Had the devilled chicken livers starter which was more like a main meal, and so tasty!! My wife enjoyed her starter of mussels, again, it was huge. I really enjoyed my lamb shank main, it just fell off the bone, and my wife loved her venison. That came with a smoky mash which was unbelievable!!! No room for puddinhs I'm afraid, totally stuffed!! Make sure you're hungry when you visit!! Staff are very friendly and chatty....what a find this place was!!!?

Iâm afraid I donât understand how there are so many 5 star reviews for this place. The staff were lovely but the food was average at best. Pasta was way overcooked and the sauce very basic, cheap chorizo cut too thickly, not enough seasoning - just no finesse at all. My children had pizzas which were ok but not great. All in all we couldnât fault the staff but our meal was pretty âmehâ and not cheap, so the bill was a stinger.
