Oscars Restaurant (Royal Bath Hotel, Bath Rd, Bournemouth, BH1 2EW) The restaurant is very beautiful and the decor smart, quite stunning. Intimate areas with lovely furnishings and drapes. The night we dined there was a large function in the other hall in the hotel. Whether this took the edge off the cuisine, I cannot tell. The starter of Crab cakes was a bit of a joke! Three malteser size round balls on a tiny bed of lettuice, all three would have been one mouthful! I really mean Malteser size honestly. Nothing to resemble a crab cake. They were however, very nice, tasty. I ordered steak as a main, it was disappointing, not tough, but not the best. We both had the cheese course, very good indeed. A fine selection with grapes etc served in a most attractive way. A note to the chef..this should be fine dining, it just missed the boat. I would try it again, to give you another chance.
