Loch Fyne - Portsmouth in Portsmouth

If you are at Gunwharf quays, you gotta eat here, the ambience, service and food is a 10 on 10. We went in with no expectations and this place blew our minds, the oysters are a must try.

We had a great meal, food was delicious and the service was great.

Great selection of menu. Convenient location if you come shopping at Gunwharf.

Been going to Loch fyne for many years. Was surprised on Sunday when having my lunch I noticed the manageress behind the bar having puffs on her vape. Certainly surprised me noing the high standards that Loch fine set

This was my 1st time dining in Loch Fyne and it was absolute perfection.. beautiful decor, amazing staff , the food was incredible and its not ridiculously expensive . My new no 1 place to go for a great dining experience..

We really enjoyed the atmosphere in this place, food did not disappoint. The staff were really great as I have allergies, I felt at ease, the chef 👨‍🍳 really went out of his way to make sure I was happy. I will definitely return x

First visit.. Amazing setting fabulous service very lovely food

Lovely food bit of a hiccup with the main course one came out a little bit after the other three but not a big deal. Very nice lunch thank you all the staff. 👍

Very good seafood restaurant. I know it’s part of a chain but doesn’t feel like it as the service is great and the staff are incredibly attentive. I would say it’s more fine dining than casual dining. My friends ordered oysters and fish platter. Not many vegetarian options. I think you have the choice between two dishes. Great French and Italian wines. Excellent desserts. Would definitely return.

Great place if you like fish, they really know their stuff.

I highly recommend this restaurant if you wish to eat fresh fish. Delicious food. We wnjoyed Sunday lunch here.Service is great, thanks Loz. We came with little chihuahua dog and they made effort to mive extra table to sit us in bar area. Well done.

The food was cold and inedible, it was my birthday so I went with my girlfriend and son, I had the lobster 🦞 it was cold and reheated, all I could taste was 🧂 salt. Yuk. Also, their fries 🍟 were limp and cold. My girlfriend had the fish platter. It was overcooked, greesy, and cold. It also did not have any sauce. My so had surf and turf, he almost pulled his teeth out it was so chewy. I did get a complementary glass of proceco as it was my birthday and the staff were OK. Just felt they were quite unapproachable. Sorry, this is such a bad review, 👎 I hate giving them, but unless they improve, we will not be returning

The service here was fantastic, the waiters were attentive without making me feel rushed and the freshly grilled Tuna steak my waiter recommended was perfect. The food was fresh, made quickly and piping hot. Can't recommend enough.

Could not fought this place service , food. Everything was spot on.

Really pleasantly surprised. Ticked all the boxes. Will definitely return! 🙂🙂

I came here with my partner to celebrate my birthday. The staff were exceptionally friendly and I would recommend this to anybody who wants a night out with delicious food. The staff couldn't have done more to help us, our server was called Jan who was very professional. We will be back.

Greeneking Seafood Restaurant in Gun Wharf Quays.

This is our second visit. Excellent service, attentive but not in your face. Lovely buzzy atmosphere but also not too noisy. Lovely food, beautifully cooked. Ticks all the boxes. Well done team!

Simple, reliable, go-to Bistro. Simple, but excellent, with reasonable prices.

Food service and price very good would definitely go again

N9ce for a cocktail. . I don't eat fish so not my place to comment on food. !

Brilliant food. Oysters were amazing. Friendly chatty staff, great selection of wine, and recommended by the attentive staff to accompany my meal.

Unbelievable food, service, and atmosphere!

Very nice fish restaurant, I had the fish pie, my wife the green curry, both very happy with our choice. The waiters were quite attentive, and the style resembled an old-timey restaurant.

Phenomenal evening, food was amazing our waiter, Chuck, was one of the best. Very few waiters around today anywhere can match his customer service.

A special event as we had family visiting. The service and food was wonderful and the restaurant has such a lovely atmosphere. The seafood dishes were fabulous, as were the desserts, especially the sticky toffee pudding!

Great place, lovely food and lovely friendly staff.

Great meal with a beautiful lady!

Over priced bad service and 12% service charge I disagree with. Won’t go there again.

Lovely experience from start to finish. Wait staff are attentive and friendly. The food was great - we had the Oysters, and Fish and Chips. Also enjoyed their Signature Gin and Tonic. Worthy of a visit.

Very nice restaurant with good fish.

Wow...the food was amazing and the staff were very polite and very helpful and the view is breathtaking will be going back again...we went back Sunday night for my wife's birthday dinner and the lady outside with the black hair went above and beyond looking after us and even found a candle for my wife's desert and helped sing happy birthday to her..outstanding sevice

Really enjoyable meal, I will return

Lovely food! Very reasonable with kids eat free deal.

I was really not happy with the service that was provided by (Charlie) I usually go there most of the times but today was literally so poker face and rude customer service by her! If she’s not happy with her job I personally think she shouldn’t be in customer service. May god help the others who are served by her.

Nice service, decent food all round but it was a bit hot upstairs!

We had a wonderful Birthday lunch on 1st September, with an added surprise of a glass of Champagne. The food, a hot and cold fruit de mer and service were excellent. The restaurant filled swiftly but, as well staffed the atmosphere on the extensive , attractive and outdoor terrace was wonderful. Having not visited for years we hope to return soon. It was lovely to hear from our waiter that he loves seafood and will as every year spend his birthday with friends eating there. The waiter had a very positive impact on the enjoyment of our visit, and even collected shells for me to take for my nursery children to enjoy.

Very high class eatery within Gunwharf. Stairs up to 2 levels of restaurant, bar at ground level. Outside seating area also, with large umbrellas. Staff lovely and attentive, food delicious and expertly prepared. Never seen such huge prawns. Service charge included in the bill.

Great food and service with a fantastic range of choice on the menu, the wine menu in contrast wasn’t so good with very limited choice.

Fantastic restaurant situated in the Gunwharf Quay shopping mall. The food is fantastic I had whole sea bass ..fell apart, another had the surf & turf, Mrs.B had pan fried sea bream ...it was all beautifully cooked the servers are very attentive.. yeah 10/10 👍👍

We visited on a Saturday evening and we were surprised that it wasn't busy. The food was average- we had fish and chips, lobster, burgers, chocolate truffle cakes and sticky toffee pudding. The sticky toffee pudding gets 5 stars, the rest gets 3 stars. The service was very poor. The staff were not attentive and the service was very slow. They did not ask whether everything was OK with our meals or whether we needed anything else such as drinks. They kept us waiting for ages between courses and did not ask if we'd like desert - we had to ask. They also kept us waiting for the bill - again, we had to ask. Overall a below average experience but not terrible. We came away feeling underwhelmed by the food and frustrated with the slow, inattentive service. We wouldn't be in a rush to go back

Friendly service and excellent food, lovely to sit outside an a warm day. Good quality seating outside as well.

As good as you would expect although service was a little on the slow side

Lunch with friend, had a array of starters with a rhubarb gin and tonic, friend with prosecco , food great, all in all brilliant..

Nice place for a casual diner. The seafood mixed grill was ok but nothing special.

Very nice food, it arrive quickly and was exactly what we hoped for. We ordered a bunch of side dishes and shared it all in the middle. Staff were lovely and knowledgeable, and were happy to go the extra mile. I would recommend this place for sure.

Always a our go-to restaurant in Gunwharf. The food is reasonably priced and always cooked well, plus there is a great selection to chose from. My bream main course was delicious and the haddock remoulade starter was lovely. Our waitress did so well to remember all of our complicated order and was so helpful bringing extra napkins and sauce etc. Lovely setting, great food and great service. Well done Loch Fyne Portsmouth, we will be back soon.

Was a brilliant place for a very good meal, as it happened to be a birthday treat for one of our party.

Food was amazing, it is expensive, but you do get amazing quality and taste.

Edited: we were offered 25% discount on the bill and 25%discount on the next visit after i called the manager and explained our frustration. We arrived to celebrate a special occasion and informed the booking team that we are celebrating, the starters are amazing, we got the fish soup, halloumi and prawns, as a main we ordered Lobster to share, it was chewy, my mistake is not to report it immediately and we eat it anyway, we informed the host and they said since we ate it all they cannot do anything, but they offered us a complimentary desert as we are celebrating,however we were told later we are limited to one option only after they offered 3 options from the dessert menu, this made us feel really bad and we decided to pay for our wanted desert. Obviously the manager could help correcting the situation but nothing happened.

Fantastic place, food and atmosphere were great. Just a little unfortunate with the service, generally its good but sometimes... like busses... none about and then 3 pop up at once. My wife and I love the place.

Excellent lunch on all counts. Loch Fyne doing it very well

Lovely food and friendly staff. Thanks

My heart and genitals melted just like the chilli and lime butter in my whole grilled lobster (except I was less delicious. I had more of a salty/sweaty sun stroke vibe going on). The chilli and garlic prawns for starters are worthy of a final meal on death row, I could have eaten a thousand of them. They would have had to use a wheelbarrow to get me to the electric chair after a buffet of those shrimpy little bad boys. Mum had the prawn cocktail and a seabass fillet big enough to knock out a horse. Like some sort of seabass ketamine.

Absolutely delicious, fresh food. We went here without realising it was graduation week for Portsmouth University- hence the restaurant was heaving- but the service was still very good and the food was delivered without too much delay. The cuisine is a real treat- exceptional. It is pricey, but worth it for a rare treat. My only slight bug bear is that they added a 10% service charge automatically - even though we were only a party of 2. But it was still a great evening out.

On Friday evening I decided to take my friend to Loch Fyne at Gunwarf Quays in Portsmouth for dinner. Being local to Gunwarf, this was one of the few restaurants I had never been to and my friend loves seafood so I was excited to try it. Well, I'm so glad i decided to give it a try. We were greated by a lovely, friendly member of front of house called Rob who went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was perfect; giving us such a warm welcome it made us feel at ease straight away. We were then seated and our waiter; Tom was also just as friendly and attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed, went through all the options and recommendations on the menu and made sure our first visit was a wonderful experience. We both went away saying it was one of the best meals we had had in a long time. The food was outstanding as were the staff. Will definitely be going back and will be recommending it to everyone.

Sat outside on a warm/sunny evening with prosecco, seafood and friends. Fabulous food and wonderful service.

Second visit her but unfortunately the food wasn’t up to scratch. Oysters were not fresh, mixed grill was very undercooked. Result was two upset stomachs the next day. Shame as my first visit was top notch.

Great location, good staff, ok food...

Had a fabulous meal with my father whilst visiting Portsmouth. Amazing how tranquil it was only being a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle of the shopping centre and other eateries. We must of been served by 4 or 5 different members of staff and all were attentive, polite and amazing. Whenever there's a Loch Fyne in a city we are visiting we always frequent as the food is always divine.

Menu not as good as it used to be. Was Hungary so stayed and had basic fish and chips. Fish batter over cooked but for £10 was okay. Service charge of £2.50 added but did not see this on the menu. But staff quick as place was fairly empty

Actually didn't eat, just a nice cold drink in pleasant surroundings.

Very enjoyable meal. We were a large group of about 20 including 8 children. Very well looked after and the food was fantastic all around.

Lovely food and great atmosphere.. and can't beat the location overlooking the harbour!

One of our favourite restaurants. Great food with great service. Keep up the good work 👏

Exceptional service, staff, food and setting. Courtney was fantastic and I wouldn't have been able to tell shed been there for 2 shifts until she told us. Food was exceptional and the setting with the backdrop of gunwharf/spinnaker is beautiful. Will come again.

Great food , staff very engaging, was good night with friends

First class service and great food. Sat outside the atomsphere was great with a fantastic location. Additional plus blue light discount.

Great location very quick service. We had 2 starters scallops and calamari both excellent. Would return

Waited 45 minutes for starter. The spaghetti seafood was way too hot (nothing in the menu suggested it had chillies in). Also it's the only fish pie I've had a hard boiled egg in. They did refund the starter after complaining. Wouldn't want to go there again.

Didn't eat. Went on behalf of a customer. Excellent service, friendly and attentive staff.

Bought cod roe, but it was off, fish and chip where okay

Great fun staff, amazing food, great choice of wine and nice place for lunch or dinner. Been a few times and it's always been fantastic.

Elegant evening for a real treat.

We bumped into this restaurant nearly by accident. We made a short stop in Portsmouth and looked for a good fish restaurant. The food was excellent. It was soo good that we sailed back a day later to visit this place again!!! And if I will be ever around I will come again to this place. Great service with smile. Superb tuna. Thank you guys.

This is such an excellent place for seafood. I even return for a second evening for more. Highly recommended.

This is an excellent restaurant which I highly recommend for any sea food lovers some very interesting pictures of where its Loch is and the family behind it all loved it

Loch Fyne, if your pushing the proverbial boat out, a great place to come to enjoy good food, service and watch the world float by. We docked there after a wonderful staycation in Bournemouth on our way home to the big smoke. Took in some shopping in the wonderful bargaintastic shopping outlet which bought on the munchies! Had a look around at all the eateries and settled on Loch....and so glad we did. I wish I could remember our servers name, as he was great! We had a number of delicious starters, like the halloumi, chorizo and calamari. All were lovely, especially the halloumi....YUM!! For the mains we went for a lobster, fish n chips (could have been a little larger) and mixed seafood dish. All were great but the mixed seaford dish didn't hit all the right notes, so we ordered another lobster....poor, poor bank account!! 😉 All in all a lovely time was had and the food enjoyed. I certainly recommend Loch Fyne to one and all but remember taste is subjective.... Hope this little insight helps 👍🏽😃

Love this place food and service fantastic

Love the location, nice service and great team , food was burnt ( fish pie) and not at all well presented., just slow down with the seating of new customers, give the chefs a chance to serve great food .

I ate here with my family on the 27th and was amazed at how good the food was, absolutely fantastic! The staff were excellent and Raphael was extremely pleasant, helpful and courteous, a real asset. Definitely be coming back and the location was brilliant as well.

All front-line staff were attentive friendly and very efficient. The food was excellent ! Would recommend if you're by Portsmouth harbour and shops and are looking for good food and good service

Really loved it here. Amazing, fresh tasting seafood for a good price. Service was also great

The place is located in a very central and nice spot. The food is also very tasty and fresh. We had oysters, fish and prawns. They were all delicious! The portions are not massive though. We ended up with stick toffee pudding and popcorn Sunday as dessert. None of them were superb. If you are not so desperate for sweet stuff, I would not recommend them.

Lovely restaurant. Friendly waiter and good food for sure

Fabulous oysters, perfect chips, and delicious desserts. Haggis and cheddar spring rolls were a fusion delight. The mains were good but not inspired, given the price. Service was excellent. Would have got 5 stars if the mains had a bit more of a wow factor.

Have a great meal, mixed grill (of course fish) exceeded expectation. Cooked beautifully. First taste from the plate was the grilled squid which set the exception tone of the dish. For starters we shared a dozen fresh oysters - fresh with an amazing taste of the sea Service was also great, engaging, and polite.

Food, service and general atmosphere were excellent as always, staff always professional but at the same time friendly and helpful, definitely recommend it

Good was good service was great! Nice atmosphere.

I discovered this a few weeks back aa I walked past because people were seated outside and there was a scrumptious grilled seafood smell coming in. Went there 2 weeks later for a meal, my waitress was so helpful and knowledgeable on the dishes and the setting and vibe is exactly what I keep looking for in the uk. Great vibe and friendly staff.

We visited this evening and Tom served us. He was very charming and knowledgeable. We had a friendly greeting from who I assume was the manager. Lovely Spanish wine, scallops cooked well, delicious fish cakes, Al Dente tortellini and Mum enjoyed her Plaice with lobster butter. Big thumbs up and definitely recommend. Shame there is not none in our direction any more.

I recently dined at a fantastic seafood restaurant, and let me tell you, it was an amazing experience! The service was top-notch, the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and the food was out of this world! The menu offered a wide variety of fresh seafood, and everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. The crab cakes were packed full of flavor, the shrimp cocktail was succulent and juicy, and the lobster bisque was rich and creamy. We also tried the grilled salmon and it was cooked to just the right temperature with a delicious glaze. The restaurant also had an impressive selection of wine and cocktails to pair with our meal. The waiter was knowledgeable about each item on the menu and was able to suggest the perfect drink for each dish. Overall, I highly recommend this seafood restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. It's the perfect spot for a date night, a special occasion, or just a relaxing evening out with friends. The service, food, and ambiance are sure to leave a lasting impression!

I had an amazing seafood grill, loved every mouthful.

Brilliant food and very efficient service

Treated myself before a visit to a small local theatre opted for 3 starters scallops prawns and smoked salmon. All delicious my first visit I'm sure i will be back

This place is cut different, my wife and I went for our 23rd wedding anniversary. We were greeted with a complimentary glass of champagne and then sat to our table with our server James calling our the specials. James couldn't do enough for us. The food was another level, mussels followed by surf and turf for me, no room for pudding unfortunately but they looked amazing. What a restaurant.

We had a lovely meal here last week, the food is excellent. The staff are helpful, polite and knowledgeable. Would recommend a visit if in Gun Wharf

Very nice place on the terrace overlooking the harbour. Tasty food and good selection of drinks

I really like this restaurant for the service and fantastic food! Oysters are a must and there is great selection of fish and seafood to choose from.

Excellent services in such a fine restaurant, the food was amazing and the service was outstanding ! Keep it up!
