Good grub in a nice environment - expected greasy spoon from the frontage, but it turned out to be a few notches nicer. Very good service. We will be back.

Someone said that the breakfast was to die for - I agree! A cosy and lovely place to sit with breakfast and work on my laptop. The gentleman who served and cooked showed great hospitality. A hidden gem in the area, highly recommend.

Lovely evening at Tim's Bistro, the food was very fresh and was a delight to have a wide selection of fish dishes to choose from. The monkfish wrapped in Parma ham was delicious and the mussels were tasty too. They need to sort out their booking system, we reserved a table two weeks in advance but seemed to not have our details on record but squeezed us in on a table at the back. We overheard the chef swearing in the kitchen, sounded peeved that everyone who had sat down for a 7pm booking all had their orders submitted at once and had to turn out all the meals in one blast. Definitely be back for the food, but do sort out your online booking system.

An amazing little restaurant with a lovely atmosphere, lovely friendly staff, very attentive and food to die for. Couldn't believe the price for the quality of the food and they certainly don't stint on the quantity. Can't tell you what the pudding are like because I had no room for one. You MUST book, all tables were reserved. Photos represent 2 starters and 2 mains.

What a find. Fresh fish rules here. Delightful salmon crayfish avocado starter, and mains were fish specials off the board. Fish cooked perfectly, simple flavours, good ingredients and really good value for @£15 for a main. Lots of other stuff on offer on the menu which I'll get round to I'm sure but I'll keep tucking into the fish for now! Lovely staff looked after us very well.

Went here as a group of 6 to celebrate a birthday. Small place, but tables were well spaced and staff were friendly and attentive throughout our meal, despite the tables all being full. Good choice of food between the menu and specials board. One of our groups mains were delayed, staff were very apologetic and this was taken off our bill without even complaining, which was appreciated. Everyone really enjoyed their meal and the flavours and portion sizes were great value for money. The chef and owner Tim and his apprentice came round at the end of our meal to check everything was OK, it was a nice touch. Nice to see a little business like this doing well, they clearly care about their customers. I'm sure we'll be back! Definitely worth a visit if you are contemplating it.

Excellent food and top notch service. Made for an enjoyable evening. Chef Tim even found time to come out from the kitchen to say hello.

Wonderful experience! The staff was truly welcoming and smiling, and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Huge starters (we had the camembert and duck confit), followed by very tasty mains (ribeye steak and bacon, chicken & chorizo risotto). We struggled to manage a chocolate tart dessert. The hospitality was outstanding, and we are definitely going back. Highly recommended. p.s the steak came with a nut free pesto on the salad, and as a person with a nut allergy, this is appreciated beyond words!

Low key, personable, short but attractive range of options, with a good balance of seafood. Some V choices too. Service attentive. Food was...wholesome! For starters I had the (large) scallops with lardons, main the pancetta wrapped baked monkfish. Dessert was the chilled creme brulée. A nice glass of pinot to accompany, and paid a fair price for a throughly enjoyable meal. Fellow diners were quiet couples or friends. Pleasant and highly recommended.

This is truly a gem 💎 super friendly staff, beautiful decor and an amazing atmosphere. I can’t praise the food enough. Fresh local produce and cooked to absolute perfection. You basically have a heart on a plate!!! Shame we discovered this place on our last day in Southampton 😢
