The Dolphin Pub & Kitchen - (Near Hampshire, london)

j scarlett This restaurant I visit several times a week has excellent service—the waitstaff are very friendly, and the owner is warm and welcoming. The ingredients are always fresh, and the chef holds himself to high standards, ensuring consistent food quality. This restaurant is unlike any other Chinese restaurant; the plating and flavors clearly reflect the chef’s dedication and attention to detail. The owner even gave us complimentary side dishes. If you enjoy spicy food, you definitely shouldn’t miss this place!

Alexander Fergusson-Cooper If I could give this place one star I would... They have ruined pizza for me, it was by far the best Ive had, no other will compare. My partner and I shared the nduja/scotch bonnet and the chicken/paneer. Both were truly superb. The dough had a terrific flavour, but the toppings on each were perfectly balanced and flavoursome. We started with the cauliflower hummus - something we await to recreate! The service was outstanding, knowledgeable and friendly, without being over the top, again, a perfect balance. Wine list fantastic and comprehensive (the reason we came here - (fathers a wine merchant!) maître d was knowledgeable and showed us the bottle of wine we were curious about. Atmosphere was warm, welcoming, relaxed, and the use of acoustic tiles on the ceiling work as both an interesting feature and more importantly to reduce the sound in the bar/restaurant. I am hugely disappointed we are only in Portsmouth for an evening - had we live in the vicinity, we would surely adopt The A Bar as a regular venue. A venue for everyone, we were made to feel like long standing customers - warm and welcoming. If ever in Portsmouth again, we will rush back!

Ravi Ghodasara Excellent dinner venue, we visited for the 1st time and found it to be an excellent dining option for a family dinner. Service was great, food was tasty and presentation rivaled that of top end restaurants. They have a great kids menu and are willing to change things to accomodate for kids needs

Giuliana Figuccio Lovely spot for breakfast and lunch in central Portsmouth Brunch & Barista, located on Commercial Road in Portsmouth, is a wonderful place for breakfast or lunch, right in a very central and convenient location. The place itself is really lovely, decorated in a cheerful and welcoming style that makes you feel comfortable straight away. Everything is very clean, including the bathrooms, which is always appreciated. The staff are genuinely kind and friendly. A special mention goes to Alper, who served us today, he was polite, warm, and very pleasant, making the experience even better. The food is truly delicious, I had already tried it before, and it confirmed how good it is. Everything was fresh, well prepared, and enjoyable. The Wi-Fi could be an issue, as there is no signal inside, but they do provide their own Wi-Fi network that customers can connect to, so no problem. Overall, a very positive experience. Highly recommended if you’re in Portsmouth and looking for a nice, friendly place to eat.

Evie Cantwell We had such a lovely evening at Bella Italia! The food was great and the atmosphere was really relaxed, but what genuinely made the visit stand out was the service. Sunikan looked after us and he was fantastic! Really friendly, attentive and still calm while looking after multiple tables at once. He mentioned he’s only been there about 8 months, which honestly surprised us because he handled everything like a seasoned pro. I’d asked if it was possible to move to a quieter table and he sorted it straight away, very discreetly and without any fuss or drawing attention to it, which we really appreciated. He checked in at the right times, made sure everything was sorted quickly and just had a really welcoming manner that made the whole experience better. Also a big thank you to the kitchen as they clearly work just as hard and the food was genuinely 10/10. He’s a credit to the restaurant and we’ll definitely be coming back!

Keisha Roberts Been here quite a few times, but this visit was even better as we brought some friends along and had such a great time. We were served by the new manager, Sandy, who was an absolute delight. His customer service was amazing, really attentive and always seemed to know exactly when we were ready for the next round of drinks. Definitely the best experience we’ve had here so far, and we’ll absolutely be back!
