Three of us ate on a busy Sunday night. Luckily we had booked as they were turning people away. Small room with tables very close but luckily we had one for 4 so more space. Liked the free olives brought before we had even ordered drinks. I had the grilled prawns as a starter, tasty but only 4. We all... More

Celebrating a friend's birthday with a large crowd. Busy restaurant, not much atmosphere as the main focus appeared to be getting as many people in and out again as soon as possible. Don't expect to come here for a relaxful, lingering meal. Empanadas to start which were rather hard and dried up, rib -eye for main. Meat was tender and... More

Nice food again as always second time on the mixed grill would recommend it to anyone!! Eaten here a few times as work in portsmouth through business just overstretched my food allowances but worth the earache from the boss!

The staff seemed like they didn't want to be there serving people, they were cold and impolite. I don't not recommend you go there if you are looking for a good atmosphere. As it is a strak house you expect good steaks but the rest of the food was poor!

I genuinely believe I couldn't have received worse service if the waiter had thrown the food onto me. They completely ignored us, sat us on the end of a party of 20 and generally treated us awfully. After emailing politely, the manager replied with the most disgusting rude response. A three word "sorry for that". If the management behaves like... More

Went on a cold lunchtime with 3 friends to warm up! Hadn't booked but that wasn't a problem as they were empty. The waitress Still managed to sit us right next to the drafty door even though there was only one other table that walked in after us all the time we were there!! The men were very good about...

Booked a table for dinner as a thank you to family. We had a table booked for 1930hrs and sadly our taxi got us there for 1938hrs. We walked in to admittedly a busy restaurant to be told our table had been given away as we were late! It was pointed out that it was only it 8 minutes, the... More

We had high hopes for our friends night out, we have all eaten there before and never had a problem. The service to begin with was fine, the orders were taken, all the starters came out to the table together, it was only when the mains came out that the problems began. One of the group had a well undercooked... More
