Lovely experience from start to finish. Wait staff are attentive and friendly. The food was great - we had the Oysters, and Fish and Chips. Also enjoyed their Signature Gin and Tonic. Worthy of a visit.

Very high class eatery within Gunwharf. Stairs up to 2 levels of restaurant, bar at ground level. Outside seating area also, with large umbrellas. Staff lovely and attentive, food delicious and expertly prepared. Never seen such huge prawns. Service charge included in the bill.

Very nice food, it arrive quickly and was exactly what we hoped for. We ordered a bunch of side dishes and shared it all in the middle. Staff were lovely and knowledgeable, and were happy to go the extra mile. I would recommend this place for sure.

My heart and genitals melted just like the chilli and lime butter in my whole grilled lobster (except I was less delicious. I had more of a salty/sweaty sun stroke vibe going on). The chilli and garlic prawns for starters are worthy of a final meal on death row, I could have eaten a thousand of them. They would have had to use a wheelbarrow to get me to the electric chair after a buffet of those shrimpy little bad boys. Mum had the prawn cocktail and a seabass fillet big enough to knock out a horse. Like some sort of seabass ketamine.

Had a fabulous meal with my father whilst visiting Portsmouth. Amazing how tranquil it was only being a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle of the shopping centre and other eateries. We must of been served by 4 or 5 different members of staff and all were attentive, polite and amazing. Whenever there's a Loch Fyne in a city we are visiting we always frequent as the food is always divine.

We bumped into this restaurant nearly by accident. We made a short stop in Portsmouth and looked for a good fish restaurant. The food was excellent. It was soo good that we sailed back a day later to visit this place again!!! And if I will be ever around I will come again to this place. Great service with smile. Superb tuna. Thank you guys.

The place is located in a very central and nice spot. The food is also very tasty and fresh. We had oysters, fish and prawns. They were all delicious! The portions are not massive though. We ended up with stick toffee pudding and popcorn Sunday as dessert. None of them were superb. If you are not so desperate for sweet stuff, I would not recommend them.

Fabulous oysters, perfect chips, and delicious desserts. Haggis and cheddar spring rolls were a fusion delight. The mains were good but not inspired, given the price. Service was excellent. Would have got 5 stars if the mains had a bit more of a wow factor.
