Reviews in Portsmouth

The food was very soggy and cold , all the chicken in sources was mushy and flavourless. From Saturday we all have been ill with tummy aches and vomiting after eating the food

Amazing. The best independent restaurant and Mexican food in the PO postcode area.

Beautiful food! This is the nicest Mexican restaurant that I've found within Hampshire. They also do great cocktails and all of the staff are lovely. Cant wait to come back here again.

The food and cocktails were fantastic and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend.

Food was as aswell really good. The only fault I have is the waiters going around getting empty plates are rude. They don’t ask before leaning over you too take empty plates plus they tried too remove my plate which still have food on it and I was still eating from it. He did get told too piss off and go away which he did finally understand when I shouted at him

So went at 6pm on Saturday evening, Pros were we booked so no queuing to go in, and the deserts were lovely. What's I ate was pleasant. The chefs were very friendly and happy. The cons were, 1.5 hrs isnt long wnough to digest the food and enjoy. the staff tried repeatedly to take our plates away when there was clearly still food on them, that we were eating off... I had to sheild thr plates everytime they came near, that became incredibly irritating. There was no bowls or plates or spoons, and asking a member of staff seemed to have taken a long time. why not just use ya plate and go up again. Like we did not an issue, The lids on the soup were left up so it just went Cold super quick. There was a consistent change in the dishes. Some stayed empty for a while.. No sugar free option for drinks very important when a diabetic. Would I return again??? Yes I would, but I wouldn't go at the weekend and would go at opening time during the week.

Fantastic, fresh food and great service. Enjoyed a couple of burritos, patatas bravas and pork belly bites - all delish! Good knowledge of beers and tequilas from the waiter too. Even went for a dessert and cheesecake with a lime twist I would recommend. Thanks to Baja and the team. Andy

Pros:- Staff hard working and mainly pleasant. All areas kept clean.. Drinks, which we had, were at a reasonable price. Cons:- Food generally not of a very good standard. No carvery or steaks available when we visited. Table was booked for 7pm on a Saturday evening, so not late. It was pointed out to me that it was a slot of 1.5hrs. I think this should be 2hrs to allow time to settle at the table. Get drinks etc. before finding your way round the food counter. Especially having not visited before, didn’t give you a lot of time to eat. Saw hot drink machines, but unfortunately no time to have a coffee at the end of the meal and no space to enjoy an after dinner coffee away from the tables. Won’t be going again and wouldn't recommend it to anyone else..

Delicious! What a find.

We had a great meal here. Last minute booking. Excellent food, great drinks, efficient service.

Had a fabulous meal pre concert at the Guildhall - perfect. Enjoyed the small plates to share and the cocktails! Got to give a shout out to the mocktail - Sainte Margarita- loved it!!! The staff were very chilled and efficient people. Thank you - we will be back!!

I never expirance so bad buffet. Cold food! Very dry hard meat like they reheat it many times! When I ask menager why food is cold he said bc in winter is like that. When I ask why you scrub old food and add to new he said we not going to waste food... I really think they don't have any clue about food Safety! Sooo disgusting... I invited my friends there, I was feeling embarrassed about quality food and choosing that restaurant... Avoid!!!

We really enjoyed our meal and can honestly say that it is the nicest meal we have had for a long time. It was really tasty, well cooked, tasted fresh and a good portion size. The service was excellent and the staff were really attentive and friendly. The restaurant is lovely inside and the toilets are something else! We would highly recommend this restaurant - it is head and shoulders above others locally in every way!

Upon queuing to pay for entry the man who served us decided to call another worker on the phone as he was serving me and shouted him down the phone asking where they was and that they should be at work. This is highly unprofessional and rude and felt very unwelcome.

First visit to Spoons, Turned out to be quite a busy place. Although the whole Resaurant is enclosed it did not feel claustrophobic. Very airy, light and bright. Ventilation system excellent. Welcome and Service was very good information given by our server very clear and precise. The selection of food was fantastic, Hot Food, Description of Dishes clear. Definitely good value for money. Will definitalely be returning, in fact have already booked for a party of 25 early April.

My birthday meal with the gf and my parents, it was there first visit. Food was excellent as always and the area is always clean n freshly topped up. My parents enjoyed it and stayed they're going again, so we'll say no more

5 star

Great good great service we will be back
