Gem of an independent restaurant tucked away behind the main street. The menu consists of bistro classics with an emphasis on local seafood: this can often mean mediocre standards or laziness in the kitchen, but not here. The cooking, presentation and service were a delight, with a real sense that the whole team were eager to please, even on a busy Saturday in August. Price point is very fair for the quality, wine mark-ups are reasonable and well worth seeking out: a restaurant that deserves to thrive.

Chilled Red in Swanage is an absolute gem of a restaurant. The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food is out-of-this-world amazing, and the wine selection - top-notch! If you're in Swanage, don't miss it. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

I found a review in TripAdvisor saying that is is the best place in Dorset, I couldn't agree more. It could be a bit expensive but it is worth it. The service is great, definitely I'm planning to come back.

Lovely small reasonably priced restaurant with excellent service and delicious fresh seafood.We had the specials, a fresh lobster and a fresh fish mixed grill selection. Both beautifully cooked.It is a bit tucked away, and the location is nothing special, but the food more than makes up for it.

Absolutely delicious food, a very warm welcome and excellent service. We spent a week in Swanage and Chilled Red was by far our favourite restaurant. Tucked away behind the main road, it’s an understated, quiet restaurant where the food does the talking. Excellent!

My wife and I finally made our first visit last week, and it won't be our last. Friendly, polite and efficient staff, who were so attentive at the right times. A fantastic choice of menu, and extremely enjoyable food. We weren't rushed, and we will be back. A word of advice for other diners who haven't been before - you need to probably book as it's that popular and that good. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
