Restaurant 1865 - (Near , South East)

Jodie-Marie Wells Went on a Monday night so was quiet, about 4 other tables. Food 10/10, we tried a range of the tapas dishes and all were excellent. Only one lady hosting/ serving but was fine for how busy it was. She was very present and easy to talk to/ grab attention from. As it was quiet, we had choice of where we wanted to sit which was great. Great value for money, good portions and great wine! We missed out on special offer cocktails and 4 for 3 tapas dishes because we booked for 7pm. However, this will not deter us from coming again very soon!

anna The food was absolutely spot on , very delicious! Very generous potions. Had the chicken kabsa and lamb chops , also baklava for dessert. It was absolutely amazing! The staff were friendly and service was spot on. Highly recommend. And will definitely be coming back here.

Karen Chin Visiting Portsmouth for 3 nights and decided to try the Sunday Roast based on the Google reviews. Food was delicious! 2 adults + 11 y.o. shared the Gov’nors Roast (beef, chicken and pork plus all the sides) plus and additional side of veggies. Bettered cooked perfectly - cooked through and not mush. Everything was seasoned but not salty too. The beef and pork were our favorites so we ordered another Regular portion of beef. Only complaint is that the portion of cauliflower cheese and pigs in blanket were very small (we only got one). Otherwise everything was fantastic and we would recommend this to anyone!

George Roper A very cosy restaurant where most of the seating is in booths. The food is fantastic, with generous portions served by friendly staff. You need to book in advance, as this place is very popular.

P We love this place - it has such personality. The bar staff are epic and the food delicious. Dirty fries are so tasty. Dont expect perfection but that is part of what gives it character. Well recommended.

Ben Hooper Exceptional food, the tempura samphire and oyster get a special mention as something unusual and amazing and fish mains were all delicious. Service was exceptional, helpful and patient and interior is well decorated and clean. It’s noteworthy regrettably the sea defences mean you can’t see down the beach. This isn’t a cheap meal but it’s far from expensive and I think great value considering the exceptional meal we had £100 for two for 2 courses and a glass of wine.
