Best Live Music Restaurants in Southsea

We had a fantastic experience here, celebrating with friends before Christmas. The staff were incredibly friendly, always quick and ready to help, checking in regularly to ensure everything met our standards. The food was absolutely delicious and definitely value for money, and the mint chocolate at the end was a lovely touch. The room was nicely decorated with music in the background that was not too loud we couldn’t hear each other, but not too quiet we couldn’t hear the songs. This was our first time at the restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Will definitely be coming back again in the new year!

We had an area booked for drinks for my cousin’s 50th birthday. They let me bring a huge ballon etc that they set up for our arrival. I don’t live in the area but if I did, I’d definitely drink there, it’s my kind of place! Brilliant music, good atmosphere, enjoyed it. Drinks weren’t overly cheap but they aren’t anywhere are they?! Really good night.

Great food and atmosphere. Most of the staff were really friendly. It is expensive but you get what you pay for. Starters were excellent and my Fillet Steak was the best I have had for years.

Always good for Sunday lunch, an excellent Carvery with plenty of choices from small plates to regular, meats freshly carved choices of moist Pork, Turkey, Ham always thinly sliced and excellent plus Beef joints after that the vegetables are regularly changed with a selection of Stuffing, Brussels Sprouts, Peas, Mashed Swede, Roast Parsnips, Red Cabbage, Roast Potatoes Broccoli Cheese plus Gravy, Mustard, Horseradish, Apple Sauce etc Always busy and necessary to book so please b by up

Things did not get off to a great start on a few counts: 1 - The table had a QR code for menu and ordering at the table. But upon using this, the website did not respond. I went to the bar and raised this with a waitress and she said, "yes, sometimes we turn that off", which makes no sense. Why would you just turn that feature off? 2 - So I ordered drinks at the bar in person, and they did not materialise. I went back to the bar after 10-15 mins to query this, and I had to give my order again. I think there may have been a new-starter there, and we all have to learn somewhere, so I did not give them a hard time over this. 3 - The guy taking my food order asked if I wanted to run a tab, which I did as knew we'd order more drinks. But then a waitress said that they don't do tabs, there was some discussion and it was deemed I was not able to run a tab. That's pretty ridiculous to be honest, if you're voluntarily disabling the QR code self-service, then not allowing customers to run a tab, it's just causing customer inconvenience. After this, things picked up and our food orders were taken promptly, the food arrived in a reasonable time, and the food turned out to be pretty good. Putting aside the new starter matter - as it would be unfair to mark the place down due to a training item - the service re. the QR code self-service and not running a tab needs resolving, but other than that, this was a pretty good experience and all of us enjoyed our food and had a nice evening.
