Dorset Hall - Dorchester

The staff were professional and friendly. The chicken tacos didn't look very appealing but the taste definitely made up for the presentation. The shrimp scampi is amazing and a must have with the most grand shrimp I've seen on a dish. The lack of a star was the single stall bathroom which didn't match the size of the restaurants demand. Overall good experience for any night or occasion

It's a beautiful space. They have solid-ish pub food. It is what it is. Somethings have been great. Some not so great. Salads, steak tips, spring rolls have always been very good. Sometimes they have specials that are good as well. Had short ribs once that were a great deal and delicious. Unsure if they're on the menu.

Really nice place, lots of room with plenty of tables. Spotless clean. Staff is very nice. Food is excellent. They have a bar with high top tables around it. And also a dining area. Plenty of TV's. I highly recommend it

THE FINAL STRAWI called to place a takeout order for one entree and they stated that they automatically charge a 15% gratuity fee for takeout orders. They then demanded I give them my credit card information to secure my order even though I informed them I would be paying in cash.Cash is always an acceptable form of payment. How am I automatically charged a gratuity fee for a takeout meal? What I choose to tip on a takeout meal should be to my discretion. How is this allowed? You cannot make up your own rules, if you accept cash… accept cash.In the past when I have placed orders with this establishment, on top of their self imposed 15% gratuity fee, the staff expect an additional tip by withholding my change which I have had to request or they comment “feel free, tips are appreciated” when they’ve already tipped themselves.The last interaction I had, the person receiving orders was persistent that the only way they would secure my $15 cash order was by providing them my credit card information. They stated they needed my credit card information incase I didn't show up.This was the final straw.

I recently moved to the area and wanted to try a new restaurant for brunch. I had on very nice lulu lemon shorts and a tank top. As I approached the front entrance the security guard stated “I cannot allow people with tank-tops inside.” I looked at him and looked at another person inside eating with a tank-top on, but different gender. I said I will take my money somewhere else. This turned me off, definitely will not go back.
