We only booked this restaurant about three hours before arriving and we were expecting to be seated at a high-bar table which is less than perfect for a romantic pre-holiday dinner. I did request a standard table but the manager advised that they were otherwise fully booked. To explain: I donât usually leave things like restaurant reservations to the last minute, and we had known for several months that we would be in Portsmouth (for a ferry crossing). Sadly, we had been let down by another restaurant in Portsmouth (see separate review) that we had booked 3 months earlier.On arrival at the G&O we were pleased to note the quirky but pleasant décor, and by the fact that the manager had sorted-out an ordinary table for us. Indeed, the restaurant was busy and we were further encouraged to see some splendid-looking food arriving on other tables. We ordered a starter and mains, and sat back and sipped an excellent South African Chenin Blanc whilst we waited.Our chosen starter was a sharing platter â one of several types offered. I wanted to order the âSea Sharerâ but whitebait is not one of my partnerâs favourites and we both detest squid. My partner preferred the âCasual Sharerâ described âTo Include A Selection of Artisan Bread, Cheese, Cured Meat, Mixed Spiced Nuts, Olives & Onion Chutneyâ. When it arrived, it was huge, featuring two pieces each of three cheeses and a whole goatâs cheese, three kinds of cured meats in very generous portions, three kinds of bread, plus the olives, nuts and pickle. We half expected the waiter to ask âWhereâs your mates?âIt was all very good â but not my personal favourite types of cheese â the (I guess) Cranberry Wensleydale (or maybe Cheddar) was pleasant but tasted more of fruit than cheese, the AppleWood Smoked Cheddar was good but itâs not something I would ever buy, the Brie was good but I avoid full-fat soft cheese and this obviously means the Goatâs cheese didnât particularly suit me either. Conversely my partner is fond of Brie and especially fond of Goatâs cheese, quite likes AppleWood Smoked, and at least tried the Cranberried offering. The problem was not one of preference but of quantity â it was far too much. The cheese alone would have been generous for a party of four!Good also were the meats, they were great! I really liked these but again â just too much for a starter. The pickle was excellent as were the olives. There was a mountain of bread â 6 slices of excellent artisan breads I will say, but yes ⦠just far too much.This starter was a main meal for two, I kid you not. If we had managed to finish it all we would not have had enough appetite remaining for our mains. We took a good tilt at it because we recognised the quality but we could not get anywhere near finishing it.The mains were also generous: two good thick 8oz fillet steaks with peppercorn sauce, French beans sautéed with fried onions, field mushrooms, good beer-battered onion rings and fabulously fat chips. After indulging in the shared starter, we just about had room for the mains, and even then, we couldnât finish the chips. A desert was just not going to happen, so the restaurant lost out on any additional expenditure we would have made, and at the same time had a lot of good produce returned uneaten â lessons to be learned here!The only serious criticism we had of the mains was the taste (or lack of it) of the steak. I was bland â no really deep taste that you should get with a quality prime fillet. It was perfectly cooked â pink to a fault. The peppercorn sauce was also a bit bland, I would guess it had been bought-in rather than home-made.More expensive ingredients and less quantity please.

Have been many times for food here and always have a good meal but never been for Sunday lunch. Would recommend if you like big portions as you get plenty of meat and potatoes 3 huge slices of beef and 5 roast potatoes plus 3 veg in a separate dish. There's 5 different choices of meat and you can have all 5 if you want. Meat was delicious fell apart unfortunately the portion was so big I couldn't fit a pudding in !!

Having been to frankie & bennys a lot of times including breakfast and always been happy with our visit. The restaurant is nice and reasonably priced and conveniently located for a cinema/dinner trip. However on our most recent visit I walked into the restaurant slightly ahead of my boyfriend by around 2 minutes and was completely ignored and look past by the immediate front desk staff who literally stared through me as if I didnât exist. When my boyfriend then walked in they straight away greeted him and asked him if he would like a table, again ignoring me completely. Couldnât help being hugely offended and the apparent situation but we continued regardless. Breakfast was good as usual and well priced, also included taste card which saved us some money. The only downside except for the greeting was that one glass of orange juice cost £3.39 which is just extortionate! Itâs a half pint of orange juice (not fresh) and is mostly watered down with ice so I really canât see why this price is justified.

Good menu, lots of tasty sounding things to try. Nachos were excellent, so much topping and nice big chunks of chicken breast. All had burgers which again were good, really liked the skinny crispy chips! Eten mess for dessert was a good potion size and super yummy. We used meerkat 2 for 1 so was incredible value for money. Service was really good, both people serving were helpful and really friendly.

Visited solo when down for work. Firstly, the 2 staff were very pleasant. The beer menu is excellent. Several Belgian beers on tap and a great range of around 100 bottled beers. The food was excellent. Prawn, chorizo and halluomi kebabs! Huge pork belly for main course. What a place this is. Well recommend and will be back if I'm in Southsea again.

The venue is nice down a street packed with bars and restaurants. There are a range of good food options which are well prepared and tasty. We had a burger and a vegetarian shawarma both of which were good. This is definitely above normal pub standard. The place was quiet when we got in and got pretty busy by the end. All good.
