Love this place. Lived here for 6 years and only discovered it last month. Been there twice now. So much choice and really tasty. High turnover so food always fresh.

Went out for a meal as four, booked it for 7:30pm arrived about 15 minutes early which we would have happily waited till 7:30. The man asked us what time we were booked in for and scoffed as we were slightly early and I mentioned we were happy to wait. He then signalled us to move across to pay. Confused as to what the price was as they have no pricing, and students apparently also don’t get it cheaper on saturdays she rudely pushed the card reader onto my phone. I was very confused and mentioned how it was abrupt and very rude to just tap it on my phone without me checking first. Food was ok, lots of it! Service as we walked up was quick and straightforward which was fine we got told the drinks are 1.50 for refillables which we later found out was 3.50. £21.99 for food and then an extra £3.50 for drinks? surely not. Staff were not very friendly, rudely collecting plates which we hadn’t even finished when told we were still eating they said sorry there is more up there ? the italian section was completely empty and the chocolate fountain was broken apparently when we asked and the lady doing our pancake looked like she’d seen a ghost when we asked if we could have more than one topping? probably won’t be coming back here for a while

Could not fault this restaurant. Me and my family had a excellent experience. The food was delicious and we were spoilt for choice. Our 3 children of 12, 12 and 9 years old described it as ' being in a dream'. Fantastic service, used plates were quickly collected and nothing was too much trouble, very polite waiters/waitresses. We will definitely be back! Just could do with a little music in the air for atmosphere. Superb though.

Good food but cold. As soon as we got to the table the whole plate of food was cold which meant that it wasn't hot enough when we picked it up from the trays. Otherwise all was good

Great food and amazing service

Amazing buffet. Almost everything is perfect in taste. Service was also good.

A good experience but it was a shame that the grill meats were not available due to equipment malfunction. We will check all food offerings are available before we book again as this is one of our favorite accompaniments. We went for an earlier than normal sitting (18:00) and there was not much energy from staff who all seemed like they already had a long shift…

Never fails Fabulous food every time I visit Smart and courteous staff Friendly atmosphere The place to go

Great as always, thank you.

Food was nice, good selection of dishes. Very busy as it was a weekend so abit of a fight at times to get to what you wanted. Was very disappointed that other tables had their children's birthdays acknowledged but my son didn't even after putting it on booking and asking at the resturant. Can't say I would visit again

First time at Spoons, family of 4. Fantastic variety of options. Staff were pleasant and great value for money! All of us had a wonderful time at Portsmouth Spoons.

Lovely setting will defo be back again soon

Great lovely fresh food family friendly

Not impressed at all. Pizza station was one dry cheese pizza. Roast pork was salty and dry. Chinese beef dish was inedible. After visiting cosmos, I was very disappointed. Will not visit again.

We had a lovely meal. Lots of choice and very fresh.

Excellent food with something to suit everyone. Allergens clearly marked. Plates taken away quickly and staff were lovely and helpful.
