A lovely work friend bought me an afternoon tea as a get well prezzie, and today was the day that my Best friend and I enjoyed it! It was a very tasty afternoon treat, with good selection of tasty sandwiches and a mouthwatering array of cakes and scones with cream. Tea and coffee was plentiful and was topped up for us when we had finished first pots Staff were attentive and friendly. Atmosphere was calm warm and friendly. Lovely way to spend an afternoon with my friend . Thank you!

Delicious food, great cocktails and an excellent wine pairing.
Really enjoyed the French onion soup with my other half. We then shared the tomahawk steak with the selection of sauces. All were great, absolutely loved the peppercorn sauce.
Slightly over seasoned with salt. However not a deal breaker.
Icecream at the end was magnificent.

Pricey for quanity/quality. Rib Eye steak was more like an American breakfast steak. Definitely not a thick cut. Lamb was okay but a little over done. Ordered medium & was more on the well done side. Service was very good.

We had a large party (almost 30).
The team really looked after us- the service, the friendliness, the food and the atmosphere was fantastic. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for the hospitality and for the great service.

We went during a quiet period for an afternoon cream tea experience, which was purchased for us. It was a clean, well maintained environment.
It's in town, near the red funnel ferry terminal. We do prefer country houses, views and gardens. This was still an enjoyable experience and definitely worth the money.

Good quality steaks which are cooked to perfection. Good selective menu and fairly normal pricing for a restaurant of this quality. Found the staff friendly and attentive. Nice surroundings. Easy to park.

We stayed at the hotel and had afternoon tea included. No selection of different teas but a choice of tea or coffee which was fine. The sandwiches, scones and cakes arrived on a rather unusual rectangular wooden stand and the selection was good. Sandwiches were cream cheese and cucumber, beef, ham and mustard and smoked salmon. 3 plain scones and 1 fruit with a bowl of cream and jam. Cakes consisted of carrot cake, chocolate cake, strawberry cheesecake and macarons. Altogether a good selection and very tasty. Service was good and attentive enough without being overbearing.

We came here for afternoon tea and it was lovely! Really tastey cakes, good and tea.
We booked online and our table was ready when we got there. We were stayed for over two hours and they offered to refill our teapots when they were empty.
It's only £27 for two people, you cannot go wrong with that. Lovely restaurant and hotel as well.
Would definitely reccomend!

Lovely afternoon tea especially the scones!

Fabulous service, food was okay. Not much atmosphere, horrendously expensive parking!

Served by Hayley, reception by another staff member. The proposal of a staff member presenting another table due to a high noise experience of another company is fully appreciated. The food standard is good but a little underscore for the price.

Ate in this restaurant on Saturday night after travelling to surprise a friend on her 60th birthday. The whole experience was pretty poor for a restaurant bearing the name of renowned chef, the staff and service was poor to say the least
the starter were reasonable and enjoyed
the mains were very poor considering the cost of the meat the Tbone steaks were tasteless considering they are supposed to be 56 day matured and tough as old boots
worse still was the easiest dish to produce Mac and Cheese completely tasteless and what appeared to be a powdery sauce used with no flavor
i must admit we ate our food because at this point we were all hungry and disappointed
we complained to the duty front of house manager who's attitude was of it can be expected with steak sometimes and offered a round of drinks and a reduction in the bill which in my opinion was no where near enough approx 30 pounds leaving a bill still at 160 pounds
i was brought a coffee and asked for sugar which was never brought to the table and on paying the bill the attitude of the person who collected it was something along the lines i really dont care what comments you leave on the site
so all in all a very poor experience for us and more so the birthday girl

I have never walked out of a restaurant without eating my meal but this was a first
Misses booked into Marco Pierre white in grand harbour as a surprise
And omfg what a pile of rubbish
Starter of squid was floury and didn't taste fresh
Starter came out before our nibbles (bread)
And first glass of wine came out after starters
Fillet steak came out cold in the middle
I have my steak blue but it should still have heat in the middle
Sent steak back and they brought about same bit minus a slice I cut off and didn't even eat because it was that rubbish so my 8oz was now 7oz
Waitress said the chef cooked the first steak to 34 degrees but believe me it was like it had just came out the fridge
Needless to say when it came back the chef had then apparently cooked it to 38 degrees and it still wasn't right
He must of been measuring the temperature note outside because the inside was cold
Prime example here of what must of been a junior chef because you could tell he had cooked it all wrong
I'm very disappointed to the point of having to write a bad review because again this is a first

Would be better if the chef cooked your steak as asked and kept it warm on the passe. Marco needs to kick some ass in this restaurant if he wants his name on it. Gordon's Savoy grill was way above this but not much more expensive. Most staff seemed to be being trained.

Food was good and our waitress Valentina was on point especially as we were a party of 18 with 6 kids. She did extremely well.

Planned the visit to celebrate Father’s day with my husband and our two children. Hugely disappointed with the food and service. Food were not hot and steaks were overdone. My son said the cucumber in his starter taste a bit odd and kitchen forgot his main course. Originally ordered a j2o but was told they ran out of it so I asked for glass bottle of coke instead, I was surprised the size of the coke, it only fill half of the glass and I was charged the price of j2o on the bill. The waitress was nice but the overall service was very slow. Had to wait very long for them to clear the table during each course or come to your table, and the food took long to arrived. The concierge staff in the hotel was quite rude as well when I asked him about the parking. We wanted to go enjoy a nice meal for Father’s day, but felt that the whole experience had ruin it all. Don’t think I will recommend this place !

This was probably one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. Staying at the hotel with a friend for my birthday so really disappointed. Booked for dinner last night and the service (Apart from the one waitress who was running around doing absolutely everything whilst the other staff minced about aimlessly) was horrendous. We had to book for a late sitting as the restaurant was ‘busy’ when we got there there were a few tables finishing up and one or two about to dine as well but it certainly was not any where near ‘busy’. We had to wait for ages for our drinks (the wine was disgusting, over priced and undrinkable) and then had to ask the waitress for our starter after waiting probably around 40 minutes at least (in an almost empty dining room). Our main courses were then served before the starter was cleared so the waitress couldn’t even put them on the table as the plates from the starter were in the way which we had to move ourselves. It was evident that there were a number of issues last night as the restaurant ‘manager’ appeared to be going around the tables apologising for one thing or another however she made no attempt to come to us. When we got the bill we asked for the wine to be taken off as we had barely drank it and complained about the service (again, Apart from the one waitress who had been run ragged) and the waitress did so and also gave us a further 20% off the bill and offered desserts and cocktails which we appreciated but declined. Surely the manager should have been the one to do this rather the poor waitress who seemed to be taking the flack for everything.
I would strongly recommend dining elsewhere if staying at the hotel as the entire experience was so disappointing. I don’t think I have ever experienced such a shambles. There is no atmosphere, it is over priced and to be placed in such a lovely hotel it is beyond me how a restaurant can operate in this way.

Me and my daughter visited the restaurant for lunch last week and we were positively impressed! Food, service and decor were all up to high standard. Very helpful staff accommodated all of my dietary requirements and food was simply delicious! I will definitely be back when I will visit Southampton next time. Thank you!
