Bar + Block Steakhouse Portsmouth - (Near Hampshire, london)

Ilona Thompson We had an excellent meal here which was a lovely surprise as the pub wasn’t our first choice. Everything was good, hot and filling. We were catching the ferry to Bilbao and had picked another restaurant but it was shut and we found the Dolphin instead. I must say I’m glad we did! Dave the manager was very friendly and helpful, telling us about a quicker route to the ferry terminal. Thanks Dave and next time we’re in Portsmouth we’ll be sure to call in.

Shuet Han Tsui We needed somewhere to nearby to eat after visiting the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. At 4.00PM on a Sunday, choices can be limited. We picked Lush Bites because it was a short walk away, near the car park, and well rated. And I can see why it was well rated. The service was excellent. The person serving us was super polite and friendly. The burgers were excellent. We went for the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger and Devils Bite. Both delicious. It was still very hot when it arrived, super tasty, and well put together. Love a burger that does not fall apart as you eat it. We were not that hungry, so didnt go for any sides. The chicken wings and loaded fries looked tempting.

Scott Reviews Things Simply put. These are the best Jacket Potato’s in Portsmouth. Generous servings. Great range of fillings at a very reasonable price. Whenever we are in town we pick one up. Vicky is an absolute pleasure. Always greeted with a smile and a chat. Don’t waste your time with any other Potato in the town centre.

Andy Wong Popped by for a quick lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. Lovely restaurant, and the food is top notch for the price. I had the mushroom risotto and it was hearty and flavoursome, pairing well with the South African Chardonnay on their menu. The complimentary bread board was a pleasant surprise as well. Total bill came up to £25.50. If you visit the Historic Dockyard museums, Id seriously recommend checking this place out!

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!

Jacqui Cross Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell were lucky enough to come to Smoke & Mirrors Restaurant for our Xmas meal with an exclusive booking, Caitlyn was a wonderful host, greeting us with mulled wine and beautifully dressed table. I can honestly say that we were all blown away by the food, the presentation and taste of each and every dish was incredible and I would definitely recommend booking a table here, Jordan the Chef is so very talented that whatever you choose on the menu you wont be dissappointed!
