The Garden Southsea

First time eating here, looked nice so wanted to try while it's still good weather. The lamb burger was a great choice, really tasty. The fries were great and the Greek salad was good, seems to be good quality ingredients. The fruit smoothie was refreshing. The male waiter got my bill for me, I showed him I wanted to pay with card and he said ok, then just disappeared and served other customers, a bit strange, not the best service, then a female waitress saw me waiting and helped me with the payment. I would have given 5 stars if the service was better with my payment. But I highly recommend coming here. The food and atmosphere is good.

My wife and I decided to check out The Garden Southsea whilst out for a walk along the seafront with our puppy as we had seen that it was a dog friendly restaurant on Instagram. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive from the moment of greeting us, seating and serving food and drinks. We ate from the garden menu which is cooked on the grill in the outdoor kitchen. The food was incredible! Fresh ingredients and beautifully prepared. The review would have been 5-star, but the outdoor area could do with some background music to create a more appealing ambience, plus there was a lot of litter on the floor, which led to a less than perfect dining experience with an inquisitive puppy trying to eat everything in sight 😅 All of that being said, we’ll definitely be back to sample the rest of the amazing looking menu.

We waited to be seated. Two staff walked past ignoring us. We seated ourselves. We both ordered small pizzas, chips and drinks. My pizza dough had not been stretched properly/had shrunk in the oven it was less than half the size of the other pizza. The topping was very sparse and dry. I shan't be going again I felt ripped off as my bill came to £15.
