The Dolphin Pub & Kitchen - (Near Hampshire, South East)

Fatima S. This was a stunning, top experience. Have been to steakhouse places but this really is a place of great food and ambiance, simple yet elegant, so relaxing that we’ve stayed nearly 2hours just chatting and enjoying the food. The reception desk was attentive. We went around half past one, the place was not crowded but later on crowd turned up. Food was served on time, the steak was really good. In addition, before the meal they have given us a beef-dripping popcorn which is really really good - this is a plus! Customer service was excellent, they were busy but very approachable, especially to Charde who has assisted us brilliantly! Also prices are reasonable and they do have a lunch-early-dinner menu available apart from the main menu. Located near the dockyard. A great recommendation! Parking (as in free parking) is quite difficult to find, but carpark is available behind the restaurant.

Josie Quirk We came here for our anniversary meal. Food and atmosphere was amazing - nothing was too much trouble for the serving staff! Food was so delicious, we would 100% recommend the duck pancakes for starters! Staff were super friendly and attentive - we will definitely be coming back! Thank you

Dave Trail Superb love a good Kokoro. The lady that served me tonight was amazing. So friendly and helpful, some of the best customer service Ive ever had. I wish I got her name. Next time I go back Ill get her name and add it to this review she was brilliant

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!

Ben My partner and I went for Sunday lunch, as I have been here for drinks before but never actually eaten, and it definitely didn’t disappoint! My partner had the Pork roast and I had the Fish & Chips - both were delicious and great portion sizes. The pub/restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the staff were all really friendly and attentive. The location is stunning too. We will definitely be returning and we highly recommend it :-)

milly v My FAVOURITE Vietnamese restaurant in hampshire! The service is so good, every waiter is extremely welcoming and made my whole experience very enjoyable! I ordered the crispy pork belly once and it was so delicious I have reordered so many times. I honestly love the fresh taste of every item on the menu and I could never go back to regular coffee, the Vietnamese coffee steals the show. This is a must go for anyone seeking fresh, yummy meals with a delightful atmosphere. A massive thank you to the owner, he was such a lovely, funny man and his restaurant deserves a lot of attention. Thank you for coming to portsmouth Viet Quan!
