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

Sallyanne Curd Love the quirky modern take on how sailors would decorate a restaurant. Food was fresh and hot, they let you have more than 1 sausage!

Cars & Touring One of the best restaurant in Portsmouth. This is one of my home to home place. The kitchen has been renovated recently. The new dishes were undoubtedly successful. I opted for the chefs recommended -the duck. The presentation was a work of art with the dark cooker the to profession juicy inside and crisp outsiide. The mango reduction gave the dish an wonderful exotic twist. The bust of sweetness that complemented the rich flavour of the meat beautifully. The dish was accompaniment by some roasted sweet potato and some seasonal salad. It gave a satisfying balance and fulfillment. Definitely will go back and have more!

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!

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.

Richard Wilson Really hard to fault anything at this restaurant. Super friendly servers and all of the dishes had an authentic taste. The house Pho, in particular, was as good as any that Ive had in Hanoi. The summer spring rolls were delightful too, as was the mango salad. The Morning Glory also had a really decent spicy kick to it, as well as having a decent crunch to it. Ill definitely be coming back here for more authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

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
