The Onyx Bar & Restaurant in Weymouth and Portland

It's a unique place well worth a visit with great staff.

How disappointing! really not up to standard, the hygiene is poor. CLEANING TABLES WITH POLISH! well that's a first, that does not clean the tables it just polishes. The cook was constantly picking food and dipping it to what looked like a mayonnaise tub, eating grated cheese and the list goes on, also texting on her phone, no apron or washing off hands. I think an open kitchen is sometimes not a good idea, as the floor was filthy, and the tops were messy. Even the toilet was cleaner then the kitchen. The other 2 girls were friendly, but so was the cook. Word of advice put yourself on a hygiene course.

Avoid! We went in for ice cream - they had about 3 flavours out of the 15 or so advertised. They blamed delivery. When we ordered 5 they handed us 5 pathetic tiny scoops in tubs - didn’t even ask if that was ok. When we complained the manager aggressively told us “we are closing next week so running supplies down” as if we were somehow outrageous to expect cones/to be told there was no cones before we paid. It needs a good clean too inside.

An absolutely lovely coffee shop a hidden gem and some lovely cake! The egg custard I just had to have another slice and even gluten free cake. Tea was tasty and a really nice coffee. Staff are attentive and knowledgeable and a good laugh. Definitely coming back!

Excellent Sunday lunch, roast beef cooked as liked and requested, really good selection of vegetables although would have liked roasted parsnips!!!!! Roast potatoes crispy and fluffy , carrots sweet and Yorkshire pudding gorgeous. Good selection of Desserts and drink. Staff very friendly with excellent customer service; my only slight criticism is that there was a wait from when the plates were served and when the vegetables were brought to the table however we all really enjoyed our meals and will go back. Thoroughly recommend Salt.
