“ Al Molo in Dorchester is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, the service was immaculate—prompt, attentive, and friendly without ever feeling overbearing. A special shoutout to Harley and Charlotte, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect throughout our visit. We chose the three-course set menu, and it was a fantastic decision. Not only was the food of exceptional quality, but the pricing was also incredibly reasonable for what we received. Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and perfectly portioned. We left feeling both full and thoroughly satisfied. Whether you’re a local or just visiting the area, Al Molo is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back! ”
“ We had a fabulous time. We chose the Winter lunch offer and everything was delicious. So well presented and really good value. We've already recommended it to our friends. ”
“ My partner and I visited on a rare night without the children, and were really impressed. The waiter was very attentive but not overbearing, he was genuinely concerned with our satisfaction. My partner dropped her fork and I think he may have even have placed another before it hit the floor. The food was really good and we have eaten in some top restaurants all over world. The waiter spoke to me about the history of the building when I asked and also gave me a pre printed information sheet. Really really pleased we found this place. Will absolutely be going okay. Waiting staff trained brilliantly and the food is second to none. Brilliant ”
“ Attentive and friendly staff, warm and cosy atmosphere - a great recommendation from our hotel in this interesting and historic town. Great flavours with the food, and servings are generous PLUS appreciate them not adding the automatic service charge - we still tipped well. ”
“ Incredible food. Went for my birthday and the food was absolutely amazing!! Best steak we’ve had and the portions were generous! Staff were extremely polite and friendly, we cant wait to go back !! ”
“ Had a great birthday lunch, food was high end Italian and exceptional. A real treat! ”
“ We had a delicious meal here. I only drank tap water and as a consequence I felt the full impact of the flavoursome food. We went for the set menu, three courses for 36, which was amazing value for such top notch food. We paid a small surcharge for a couple of items, lobster pate for example, but that is fair enough. There is no enforced service charge, but of course we tipped as the waitress was very pleasant and helpful. All the food was immaculately presented and very good indeed. I would not have thought of putting a mandarin coulis with squid and lobster pate, but it worked! Other surprises were honeycomb chunks with the cheeseboard. A truly delightful meal. Recommend! ”
“ We came to Al Molo for the Taster menu as a treat to us. It really didn't disappoint. Every course was full of taste, and improved on each step. The starters were a great selection of seafood, the main meals were beautiful and the four mini desserts were thought out just as beautifully. We were well looked after through the night. Verity in particular was very attentive, explained everything and answered any questions we had. Ollie was also very knowledgeable and helped us through the evening. The taster is worth every penny and should be experienced by everyone. Thank you very much for a lovely evening. We were also really pleased to see dogs in the restaurant in the evening. We'll definitely be back with ours. Thank you to everyone involved for a wonderful experience ”
