We needed to find somewhere to eat close to the ferry terminal as we didn't have s great deal of time until we had to catch the ferry !
The Gatehouse grill is right outside the terminal which was a good start , we explained to the waiter that we were short on time and he found us a table straight away ,he took our order which was chicken stuffed with ricotta and spinach,roasted vegetables and a tomato based sauce. The restaurant has a welcoming and smart feel , the staff are very knowledgeable about the menu and extremely attentive.
The food arrived and it did not disappoint ,it was delicious ! It was a great experience and I would highly recommend the Gatehouse Grill!

My boyfriend and I went here for an anniversary meal after lots of searching for a decent place to go that was within our budget and I'm so glad we ended up at the Gatehouse Grill! It's situated about the Royal Thai restaurant so have to enter the Thai restaurant, turning left and go upstairs to get to the steakhouse.
Its nicely decorated and the tables are well-spaced. There's also a nice bar area with a glass floor which is really interesting! There's a large outdoor area overlooking the bay which would be great in the summer.
We ordered the deep fried brie to start (and share) and it was really well done. We obviously both ordered steaks for our mains - we got one sirloin and one fillet - both cooked rare. They were great steaks and cooked to perfection. It was also just the right size for one person and it was very filling. We also ordered some side dishes - we both particularly liked the Parmesan, black truffle oil fries which were absolutely delicious! I'd go back just for them!
We had the cheese board for desert and it didn't disappoint though as always, i would have liked more cheese. We paired this with a nice glass of port from their selection of 3/4. The wine is reasonably priced and the service was brilliant. The staff were attentive and knowledgable and very courteous; they even ordered us a taxi for when we were ready to leave.
I really liked this restuarnat and I can't wait to visit it again.
Have always loved visiting Kutis, been coming here for years for special occasions! Myself and my family adore Mr Kuti, he is always the perfect host. Always dresses in a snazzy suit too!
You feel like family at this restaurant, staff were so quick, efficient, friendly and upbeat. Food was delicious as always, best Indian restaurant in Southampton by far! Well worth a visit, if booking in advance, definitely request a booth as it has the best feel while you have dinner.
We loved our evening here, for a start what an amazing building and it's just as lovely inside
Lots of choice, some nice speciality dishes as well as the staple curries we all know so something for everyone
Loved how the poppadoms were served and have to mention the Peshwari naan which was sooo good
I had a vegetable biryani... My usual and it was delicious
Really enjoyable evening
We had such great time on new year eve 2023. The service was flawless, with delicious 4-course dinner. We particularly enjoyed the dessert and more specifically the carrot pudding. There was a live music, followed by a DJ and a brilliant finale of stunning firework. We totally enjoyed the night. This is a highly recommended place.
The food was amazing and wholesome like a home cooked meal. Lovely decor, great cocktail and the owner can round to say hello while we were eating. I will definitely be coming back.
Delicious curry, my favourite in Southampton, but the location at the Pier is not as nice as the old Oxford Street location - it could do with some interior renovation.
That said, the food itself was excellent. I had the Lamb Thali and all selections were delicious and a good variety. The size was generous and appreciated too!
Service was very good too, and we enjoyed our meal and look forward to returning next time we’re back in Southampton.
Really excellent food. We had samosas and tandoori chicken starters and then chicken dhansak and butter chicken mains, along with egg fried rice and garlic naan. The naan was put of this world, possibly best I have ever had, I could eat it all day non stop.
The butter chicken was also interesting, and as a person with a nut allergy I really appreciated that the kitchen could accommodate my needs and go out to the way to make it nut free.
The atmosphere was not great unfortunately and that is why I am not rating higher. I did not like the music, and there was a lot of noise, it felt very busy. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. They originally made a mistake and charged us extra items that we had not ordered bur fixed it immediately when we pointed it out.
I would go back, but there is definitely room for improvement.
Amazing welcome and great service and the food was absolutely outstanding 🤩
Good quality of food and drinks.
Not 5 because the staff was disorganised and we had to wait for too long for them, and our order was delayed and mistaken as well.
Gorgeous place with such a luxury atmosphere and service coupled with delicious food.
Everything was lovely. I went here with my work team for our Christmas dinner (bit belated) and everyone adored it. I really recommend especially for big groups! The booth tables are fabulous. All the servers were attentive and also looked very nice as they had formal attire- one even helped us take a picture which we really appreciated! Overall great experience- I will be back again soon!
Food is good staffs very friendly and Mixed grill platter Recommend！
