Reviews in Portsmouth

great evening, great food, polite staff, very clean and good price, and the drinks are reasonable as well, overall excellent.

Awful organisation even before we entered the restaurant. Huge group of about 30 10 year olds. All running around, shouting and screaming. Touching food and taking piles and piles. Although not necessarily the restaurants fault I feel they should have rule in place for this and ensure there is a decent adult to child ratio. Always a great selection which is why we tend to go there. I had one bit of beef in black bean and crunched something hard, had to spit it out. It put me off eating anything else! Won’t be rushing back especially as it was nearly £90 for 4 of us and we definitely didn’t eat £90 worth of food!

I wasn't going to write a review (only doing so because I've been emailed asking for one) Food was pretty good except a few things, but with so much selection it's inevitable (couldnt put my teeth through the Naan bread. Kind of expected where it was in a hotplate) What really killed it for me was with it being so hot the back doors were open. People were smoking out the back and it was wofting through the restaurant. I don't smoke so find it disgusting. Also had my children with me, one being a 6 month old, so don't expect to be eating while smelling that. I also didn't like the way the helicopter manager (taking an assumption here) continually spoke to a member of staff. Moaning at him for ordering rice to be cooked amongst other things. I went to go out of a door which said exit and this 'manager' was insistent i went through another door because i had a pram. I wanted to leave the same way with the party of 7 I was with (this door lead to another door for the lift) When i was in the lift, the 'manager' followed me and my daughters in and asked how we found everything. I wasn't going to say anything but brung it to his attention about the smell of cigarette (again, wasnt going to say anything, only did because he followed us and asked). Parking isn't free, although advertised. Everything else was great otherwise. The people replenishing food were doing a great job. The people clearing plates were friendly and attentive. Refill drinks are a great idea. We all enjoyed ourselves other than the few issues stated. Was a great for my 5 year old to try a variety off different foods she wouldn't have otherwise.

3rd visit in a coupke of weeks , this time with my grand children , all enjoyed the food and variety

Good atmosphere but food was stale it was really dry we won't be going again waste of time

Good food and service had a great birthday

My second time at Pacifico on Saturday night and the vibe just keeps getting better. Such a classy atmosphere, but also super chilled and welcoming. The staff are really attentive, the cocktails are to die for, the food is superb and the DJ was playing some great tunes! What more could you want for a Saturday night!

The atmosphere was quiet and calming. The service was impeccable. Staff were attentive and cleared plates away regularly. The food was delicious . Reasonably priced if you went to a restaurant had a starter main and a dessert you would be paying more than the £23.99 you pay here

Went to spoons for a birthday meal (11 year). Booking was easy, our seating requirements were mer ( disabled person). Tables and restaurant was clean, plates, cutlery were clean. Food areas were clean and food was plenty. The food was cooked to perfection and really enjoyable. The atmosphere was light and friendly. Staff were helpful and friendly. As food is unlimited for one price, it was very good value. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Booked for our grandsons birthday. Although a huge choice, most dishes were Chinese, small choice of Indian dishes, pasta and traditional, not as varied as Southampton. Also told parking not refunded as manager had withdrawn but clearly stated on the website, when challenged, the guy on reception informed the manager it was still advertising. As my husband was meeting us there I had sent him a screenshot of booking and parking info about an hour before we arrived from the website.

I have been to the restaurant 3 times with my husband and have been pleased.. this recent time i also took my mom and she loved the food and environment.. the only negative thing was the waiter would just walk to our table and collect our plates without even asking if we were done until we stopped him the 3rd time.

Having to pay for parking has let this place down for me as the cost of £50 for two people is enough it’s just more daylight robbery

Its a truly amazing restaurant. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is absolutely lovely, well cooked tasty and there is so much choice. A great experience. Good value for money too , with a great atmosphere. Well done to everyone .

Would not recommend food there very poor quality currys no taste at all runny watered down And other food didnt taste fresh waste of money

Excellent food, value for money and very nice ambience. Will visit again. The only flip side was the Gents washroom which was in pathetic shape

poor quality food, a lot of it either watery or way too dry. kids running around everywhere trying to sit IN the dessert shelves and putting their hands in the food which was incredibly off-putting. two of the areas had "faulty" heat lamps (Indian and Italian) but no reduction in the overall price. I thought the desserts would make up for it and the woman making the crepes was lovely but honestly it was the most tough leathery crepe I've ever had in my life. avoid
