“What a Fantastic family run restaurant. The food is exceptional… fresh, flavoursome, plentiful and good value. The ambiance and music are delightful. But what sets it apart from other restaurants is the fabulous staff. They were all so welcoming, helpful and genuinely wanted us to have a wonderful experience, which we certainly did! Special mention to Sumayah, Ramin and Ariz, you are brilliant at your job, thank you for making our date night so fantastic.”

“This is an amazing experience! The students are fantastic. Food is great served in style. Can't believe the price.... try it if you can get booked it.”

“Top-notch french cooking in a relaxed ambience. Informed and friendly service. We left with a smile on our faces.”

“Always busy, great atmosphere. 2 for £13 cocktails all day every day. Staff are polite, crazy busy and really friendly. Always have a good time when we visit.”

“Maciej was absolutely amazing. Not only does he serve his customers with the utmost level of professionalism, he even went a step further to make sure that we were all taken care of. He made sure i had enough water to help with my hangover...now tell me, which bartender goes that extra mile. Medbar...this amazing young man deserves a raise.”

“A wonderful full on experience. I chose the KF Fish wings as my starter. This chef must be mad to come up with the idea of fish wings KFC style. It’s so hard to eat without getting frustrated by a bone here or there; but it is soooo worth it. A totally tasty, barking mad, delicious starter. Being a Friday I followed by posh fish n chips. It’s just what to expect from an excellent restaurant. Spot on. To finish Rasberry soufflé. An amazing and incredible desert. It’s a must visit restaurant.”

“First time here, and its tucked away on one of the backstreets which is quite nice actually. A group of 8 of us walked in and we were able to be seated pretty quickly. I was impressed with the food, the service was initially slow but sped up shortly after. Overall a nice meal and would go back! This restaurant allows you to charge your phone whilst at the table with a portable power bank from in house. That's quite unique and its the first restaurant i have been too which does this. Well done to Smugglers for introducing that.”

“We had an absolutely fantastic meal at Botley Mill! The food was a solid 10/10 – beautifully cooked and full of flavour. The staff were so friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout, but what really made the evening extra special was the personal touch. When we arrived, we were greeted with a complimentary glass of prosecco and a card signed by the team congratulating us on our one year wedding anniversary. It was such a thoughtful gesture and meant so much to us. Thank you for making our night so memorable, we’ll definitely be returning! (I only took a picture of our starter as i was too excited to dig in and forgot a photo of our main and desert!) Glass of prosecco again had been half drunk before i took a photo”

“Fantastic place serving authentic Mexican food! The owner is full of energy and gave us such a warm welcome. You could really tell he was passionate about the dishes and excited to share his knowledge. He gave us lots of recommendations, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely one of my new favourite places in Southampton — I’ll absolutely be coming back. Thank you for the amazing experience!”

“Was a surprise for my wife for her birthday and our anniversary. Food was fantastic. Service great. Atmosphere could have been nicer, but tbh it was probably because we were the 1st customer of the evening.”

“We had a Christmas lunch here for 20+ people and everything was perfect. The food was superb, the service outstanding and the atmosphere great. Whenever we have been here we have always had a great time and they cater for gluten free options. Thank you.”

“I had my 30th birthday organized by this restaurant, and I was truly amazed! The set out was beautiful, and the atmosphere was lovely. The service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. The portion sizes were generous, and the overall experience was brilliant. I couldn't have asked for a better celebration!" ---”

“There are words to the outstanding service and the totally amazing food today. We were greeted by the manager, who was so friendly and supported a very happy team. Tiah gave great service and was so helpful, with Nick on the grill doing amazing food. They are a great asset to Miller and Carter, please recognise them in this reviews”

“Nice persian restaurant in the city centre. The owner and the staff greeted us very warmly and the persian Kebabs and food were delicious. They also offered us persian tea on the house.”

“After being turned away in 3 eating establishments we found George's. I am so glad we did. The food was excellent. Our server Karen was wonderful and made our meal memorable . Thank you. We would recommend George's Restaurant over all the other restaurants in the area.”

“Was recommended this spot for breakfast whilst I waited for my cars MOT. It turned out to be a fantastic recommendation. I had the full English breakfast could probably have had the half but was swayed by the selection. I didn't have to wait too long for it to arrive everything was hot, it did not disappoint. Very friendly staff, you can certainly see that this is a spot where people return time after time but you will be made to feel just as welcome if it is your first visit. Will be back”

“Wonderful food, huge portions, great value for money. Very welcoming place and clearly very popular with locals.”

“Really enjoyed our breakfast at Bill's. Their big breakfast isn't as big, but was definitely delicious and hence I was able to completely polish it off. They even changed the egg to match my preference. The bacon, baked beans, eggs, mushrooms, and sausages were cooked to perfection. The black pudding however was not my favourite. Their jam and toast martini with vodka was one of my favourite things all day. Definitely try this if you visit.”

“Lovely food and atmosphere. The newly refurbished restaurant and additional seating area is a big improvement. Our server was Phoebe she was vey efficient and great service. As ever highly recommend”

“Had two tomahawk steaks, ribs and a rib eye. Food was fantastic and the staff were very helpful. A great spot for a birthday dinner”

“I got a warm welcome even when it's about to close. Sparkling is very fizzy. And waiting for food not so long, quick, warm and tasty.”

“The cocktails were impressive—each one better than the last.”

“Sitting in conservatory, was very comfortable. We just had cappuccino and cake then later pot of tea and chocolate tiffin. It was very nice. Staff were excellent, carrying a tray of tea/cake for me and clearing table when needed.”

“We booked Sunday dinner for 10 people and ordered ahead. The service was attentive, friendly and efficient. The food was hot and delicious. Two of our party were quite late due to their young baby and staff kept their dinners back until they were ready with no drama, as soon as the couple arrived the dinners appeared and were still hot and delicious. A big thumbs up for the Southampton Arms. Thank you.”

“We had such a lovely experience at The Real Greek in Southampton, and a big part of that was thanks to Kasia. From the moment we arrived, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. She checked on us at just the right moments and made us feel genuinely looked after throughout our visit. We ordered the seafood platter, which was delicious, and Kasia made sure everything was perfect. Her friendly attitude, professionalism, and natural charm really elevated the whole meal. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!”

“Visited Beity for the first time this evening and was super impressed! Food is fresh, delicious and tasty (service is also excellent - shout out to the two guys who served us, your customer service skills were on point!) the pictures really speak for themselves. May even be the best Lebanese we have ever tasted. Highly recommend.”

“Slightly biased as have been coming here since the early 80s, and although we miss the old style pub, it could have ended up much worse than it is design wise. Food quality is back on an even keel and is consistently of good quality and presentation this taking away that level of apprehension you feel when you go to so many restaurants these days. Shout out to the young ladies and men of the service team who provide a very professional level of service in a pub / restaurant which I know for a fact can suffer from some challenging customers at times...”

“Family-run gem that beautifully brings the rich history of Persia to life with warm, welcoming atmosphere. The decor is thoughtfully designed reflecting Persian heritage. The food is the real star. The special mixed grill was outstanding—grilled to perfection. The portion sizes was good. The service was remarkable—attentive, friendly, and efficient.”
