We thoroughly enjoyed going to the Ventana Brasserie and Bar whilst staying at The Cumberland Hotel in Bournemouth. The staff are extremely helpfull and in particular Vincent, our waiter, should be commended for all the service he provides. A very stylish brasserie with excellent food and staff who go that bit extra. More

Main salads were delicious, burgers were huge, sweet potatoes were divine. Good selection of wines and great cocktails! During the week, at the time of our stay, they offered... More

Set in an Art-Deco style it provides a relaxing venue and charismatic surroundings. We ate in the hotel restaurant and only had drinks in the Ventana bar. However an experience well worth repeating. First discovered it when I stayed at another hotel which had a characterless bar and we "strayed" to Ventana out of desperation - glad we did ! More

As suggested in the title of this review we had our Valentines meal at Ventana. Upon arrival, declining the option of a drink at the bar, we were shown to our tastefully decorated table. Overall we had a wonderful meal, the staff were friendly, the food was served promptly and the atmosphere was great. We were however a little confused... More
