Reviews in Portsmouth

Visited yesterday Saturday. 8 of us for my grandsons birthday. My son had money already saved for us but when we arrived it had gone up by £2 each. 2 of my grandaons are tall so usually have to pay all adult prices except for 1 but child prices had gone up as well. Drink are now £3.50 each for refills so it really worked out a expensive meal. Food is always nice and lots of choice as grand kids are fussy but at £22 per head it is being overpriced . Cost for 8 people £189.50 Including soft drinks. Don't think we can afford to eat here again for a long while. Its a nice treat but an expensive one.

Second time visiting spoon Portsmouth (Friday evening around 5:30) and we can’t fault it, we’re already planning our next visit. •The staff are absolutely wonderful. Very welcoming and friendly. •Very large selection of different foods- from kids nuggets, chips and cocktail sausages, to Indian curries, Italian pastas and pizza, noodles, veggies, potatoes and meats, plus a sushi bar and fresh fry grill. So much choice, and I’m a vegetarian! •Food doesn’t stop there! Leave room for the desert corner- cakes, ice creams, profiteroles, Eton mess, banana and custard, choc fountain, fresh fruit, and more! •food has always been a good temperature when we’ve came and cooked well. The refilling of dishes is quick. • Unlimited fizzy drinks available for extra charge but still great value. • Toilets big and kept clean •overall the place is kept clean and tidy, and the staff are quick to clear empty plates for you. •Considering the price of a normal takeaway, Spoon is brilliant value and we will definitely be returning again.

It was our first time at the restaurant. I will start with the good points. There was a great selection of food . The quality was ok. My 13 year old son was charged as an adult. When we went in we were not told drinks were extra. I think it should all be included in the price, when you arrive. It seemed very noisy, like the air conditioning was on but not working. It’s was very hot also. The side doors were propped open. because of the noise it was hard to have a proper conversation. To finish the whole experience off, a member of the waiter team had terrible b o . The smell drifted around the restaurant which was very off putting. Because of this we left and will not be returning.

Lovely staff everywhere was clean and kept clean the only downside is some food was cold my partner was sick and I had a bad belly good for the price and kids enjoyed it

Place was very clean, staff were attentive. Price was high for a lunchtime and drinks were also expensive. Food quality was ok and there are a lot of options.

First time here and was impressed, great food, lots to choose from most staff friendly and polite, Cleared our table of dirty plates quickly. Only negative was guy serving the lobster needs to learn to crack a smile a bit more.

Fresh and delicious food. My family and I had a lovely time at your restaurant.

Went for a meal to start my stag do , they placed us near the food which was good as my dad is disabled, but the food was not great at all the pork and some chicken wasn’t cooked and still pink lucky I noticed before eating . There was no beer on tap as they ran out then ran out of bottled beer. The place was roasting hot and was hard to sit in there and eat

This was my first time going and I will definitely be going back. We booked a table and got there early, the staff were very friendly and accommodating and got us seated. Great selection of food and a nice relaxed atmosphere.

Fabulous food , lovely polite staff , plenty to choose from .

Variety of food very good, but a lot of it was only lukewarm, carvery wasn't very selective and one of my party felt her prawns were under cooked. Other than that all was good and service waiters were on the ball.

Went late and were asked to look around what food they had left before paying as they weren’t going to bring out anymore ( to make sure we were happy what was on offer) still had good selection of food and the coke didn’t taste watered down. Nice meal, lovely staff. We were happy thank you

We booked a table for 14.00 on Father’s Day. Was seated quickly. Staff very friendly. Only down side was we were there 45 minutes, and hardly any food. Nothing was refilled and trays remained empty. Heard several complaining I also complained regarding this. Time limit is 1.5 hours and we are mostly nuggets. So the price we paid for this was a joke and not impressed. Been here many times before, never an issue but this time was appalling, and most probably would not come again on a special day.

Ive never been to a restaurant that refuses to let me in for my booking when a guest was late. I have cancer and bone disease and the waiting didnt help. Requst for a cushion was ignored even though i asked in advance. Food was ok but some things were not refilled. Crispy duck with no wraps? Small plates? No napkins.

The food was awful yesterday at spoons, 5 of us arrived for my sons birthday and I was extremely disappointed and wanted to talk to management about compensation, the food was mildly warm and the availability was really really poor.

Food was very good and plenty of choice staff we're excellent we will return

Plenty of variations of food, hardly any vegan options, chips were rubbery and pasta just tasted like water. You need yo cater for vegans too.

Very disappointed went for my friends birthday Sunday evening table booked for 7.30 when we got there some of the food trays wad already emptied and not topped up at all throughout the evening so limited food offered they said you get an hour and a half but there was hardly any deserts when we got there and after having main food went to desert counter before the end of out time and the staff had cleared everything away so didn't get any deserts shame as we book regularly as a group but not sure we will go again
