Maritimo Lounge in Southampton

Great food,staff were friendly and polite and food served in good time.Would have given five stars,but unlike the other lounges i`ve visited,they don`t give pour and give you your drink straight away,instead saying they will bring it to you,which in my case was when the staff member had finished serving everyone else.

The staff have changed and were very slow,also the food was very slow after being ordered this was the same ordering drinks,the tables were not cleaned quickly enough and the empty food plates were not taken away quick enough,we have used the Maritimo Lounge for the last 5years it now looks like it is time to go elsewhere.

Visited Maritimo Lounge on Wed 18th Sept around 4.45 pm and was served by a gentleman with a beard (probably Spanish or Italian) who did not look like he wanted to be there. He took our order at the bar in the most unfriendly way. He was ok when serving our meal. But otherwise, I would rate his service at 0. I have visited Trago and Santo Lounge your other Lounge bar over the years and the service there is amazing. The people you hire are the face of your brand. I work in a customer-facing role and know what to expect. The meal and the drinks on the other hand were great.

Met a friend here yesterday for a spot of lunch and sat outside. We had a lovely afternoon and the food was nice. We both had the Harrasa chicken flatbreads with hallomi fries and sweet potato fries. We ordered from the app which was quite easy to use and food and drinks came to our table promptly. Will be back again soon.

I've been here multiple times as the view is lovely but customer service is consistently bad. The lady that works behind the counter seemed quite passive aggressive when taking orders and informing us of what was available and what was not. Instead of being apologetic about the lack of items that were available on the menu she became hostile when I was discussing my other alternative options with her. The drinks are always watered down or not decorated the same way they are in other Lounge branches and the Portswood Lounge beats the customer service of this one by a mile. Really feels like the staff members are not trained in handling customers. With saying this, there have been a handful of workers that have been okay during our visits. Don't think it's a great visit unless you're okay with bar staff and waiters that seem unhappy to service you.

Not a particularly warm welcome and the entire experience was one where the staff left us feeling that they let the place down. They lack customer service skills with their rather abrupt attitude and the bearded guy who served us our food was nothing other than curt and with a cold manner. Most off putting. All too common in many places these days. What happened to smiles, friendliness and an appreciation of those paying to keep the staff in a job?! The food was fine but in my opinion it is only as good as the people serving it. We found the room temperature cold too….yet another place that seems to think a/c blowing out is necessary on a cool day.

Visited for a Thursday lunch with some friends! They’re always so busy, so I may be worth while calling to book ahead. The chicken noodle bang was fantastic, and you can’t fault their pink lemonades. Two men working on the bar were really friendly and helpful. Southampton always is full of good spots, and Maritimo is one of them :)

Came for lunch with my daughter, we were waiting about 10 minutes to be seated but I could see they were busy at the bar so didn’t mind waiting. Another group arrived after 10 minutes. The server completely ignored me and seated the other group instantly and then returned to the bar without even saying a word to me. I struggle going out on my own with my daughter and being ignored like that was awful.

Lovey food & great service from the staff at Maritimo Lounge last night. A special late Christmas touch from the gentleman serving our table.

TOOK MY BROTHER WHO WAS VISITING FROM.USA. THE WAITER WE HAD WAS VERY RUDE AND IMPOLITE. I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH ORDERING ON PHONE AND HE RUDELY TOLD ME TO GO TO TILL. WHEN I.TOLD HIM.I WANT A EXTRA HOT COFFEE HE REPLIED SAYING AM BUSY. TIO IDENTIFY WAS WEARING A LEVIS SHIRT !!! THE GUY NEXT TO US ASKED FOR TAP WATER AND HE VERY RUDELY POINTED AND SAID ITS THERE! EXTREMELY RUDE . AND NOT HELPFUL !

Just wanted to pass you my thanks for making a family get together to celebrate my sisters 40th birthday really special. You gave us loads of time to sit and enjoy the meal (food was excellent by the way) and there was no pressure to eat and move on. The food was delicious , your team were attentive and incredibly friendly and happy to give us cake knives, plates etc! Thank you so much for what was a great afternoon in a lovely setting on the marina! Would highly recommend this spot to all!

We popped in for a quick drink and hike waiting for a dentist appointment. Nice place, been there before. Always full with people. Toilets clean, staff friendly. Nice view to the boats outside. Will visit again

Been to a few lounges all over the country mainly for their breakfast. This one Did not disappoint as usual. Good size portions. All round value for money.

Visited this place a few times, but wouldn’t recommend it in the winter. The heating is rarely on so it’s like sitting in a freezer! Very uncomfortable.

Maritimo Lounge needs to do a bit of work with bookings etc. We were put off as a table under a party of 10 can't be booked (unlike the Sister chain, Cosy Club). We assumed it'd be rammed... However after seeing a film at the nearby Picture House, we gave it a try. Other than elbowing our way past a gaggle of smokers blocking the door (disgusting), we were welcomed inside, briefed on the ordering protocol (via QR code) and we found a nice table on the top deck. Ambience? Really good. Music not too loud and a nice vibe. Much like Cosy Club, there's the eclectic mix of furniture, decor & fittings, but it works. I like it. I had a tech issue with my phone, but my Wife's is better than my old rubbish... Ordering was fine in the end and food came promptly. I had the Nasi Goring and my Wife the buttermilk chicken; both tasty & fresh. Our drinks arrived after our food which was a shame, but that won't stop us going again. We like it here. Recommended.

This is a great location and the staff are very friendly and helpful. However the whole place needs a good clean, as it always seems dirty. A good place to meet for a coffee or drinks and chat. Wouldn’t recommend the food though, as not fresh or quality ingredients and is overpriced.

Relatively quiet, impossible to order on the app so wen tho the bar. Couldn’t get the app to connect. Food and drink took a long time to come out. Food was hot but presentation wasn’t great. Small portions for the money. Been in here for breakfast before and was decent so may have been an off day.

Stopped here for breakfast before going on a cruise. Breakfast was fresh and tasty and served in a lovely environment. Service was excellent and we were impressed on how hard the staff work.

Haven't been here in over 3 years - it was so lovely coming back. Food and service are just as good as I remember. The main change is ordering through a QR code now, which is great as a customer who likes to sit on the top floor - no more going all the way down and up again to order! Wonderful menu for both food and drinks. Their homemade pink lemonade was so refreshing and veggie breakfast was cooked fresh. This place also has amazing views. Top place to go!

Lovely surroundings, brilliant staff, great food, lovely vibe, what do you exoect from abother one of the Lounges. We will definitely be going back.

Not for the first time we visited here for brunch. Very good menu and reasonably priced. Easy to place order at the bar and very good service ensured all our order arrived promptly. Very good food. Pleasant staff. It was very busy (too noisy on one floor, some people like to ensure every other guest hears them) so we did our best to select a quiet corner!

While staying at Harbour Hotels at Southampton, we walked over to Maritime Lounge for lunch as the menu seemed very versatile. We selected a lighter lunch, going for the soup of the day which was a carrot, tomato and onion vegetable offering. Served with ciabatta rolls and butter, this was a nice start to lunch. For our entree, we had one order of the Honey Roasted Beetroot and Feta Flatbread. This combination was just enough to satisfy us and keep us going until dinner time. Service works by ordering at the bar, providing your table number, and then food is brought out when prepared. The lunch experience was enjoyable. The menu is robust. We were happy with our selection.

Disappointed with the brunch options. It is in a good location looking out over the boats but no scrambled egg option on a standard bread was a big problem. The drinks also arrived after the food. Good concept of ordering from your table via the app (WiFi registration needed as poor phone reception but long winded sign up process)

We arrived as a large group of us, as the weather was good weather outside 13 of us, 9 adults and 4 children. We were celebrating my nieces birthday. Some members of our party went inside to order drinks, while waiting for there return a young lady who had what I would say was a stroppy teenage attitude. Came over to ask are you ordering anything, which we explained some of our party are getting drinks and we would be looking at the menu. But not sure what we will be ordering yet. she went off, came back with some cutlery and said, "as you don't know what your doing I don't know how much cutlery to give you and put some cutlery on the table". Now I work in customer service and staff do have bad days. But I am sorry, her attitude was rude and was uncalled for on such a happy occasion for us.

We visited on Valentine’s Day for a quick lunch. I had the Buttermilk Twisted Chicken sandwich in a gluten free bun which was also adapted to avoid my intolerances (onion and garlic). My other half had the standard version with a side of macaroni cheese. All of the food was delicious, quick service (even checking with the chef re intolerances) and we had a lovely view of Ocean Village on a sunny day. We visit here regularly and we’ve always had good food.

My son and I visited for breakfast in high spirits after enjoying Newcastle beat Southampton 1nil the previous evening!😉 The food and drinks were fine we enjoyed the view across the marina and I would have given 4 stars for our experience. It would have been so pleasant and easy to have had our order of 2 breakfasts and 2 drinks taken by a member of your staff. We could have sat back and picked over the highs and lows of the match. No! We had to negotiate the downloading of an app, fill in our order then fill in my bank details, which failed twice! What is difficult about bringing a card machine to the table or being able to pay on the way out! Then when I finally manage to pay I’m asked if I wish to leave a gratuity and what percentage?! For what? All I’ve had so far is a bad time! How do I know at this stage whether our experience is going to improve enough to wart a tip? Maybe we were being punished by Southampton for the deeds of The wonderful Magpies!

When we walked in we met Beth, what a gem happy friendly knows her drinks. Nothing was to much trouble, the other girl ( didn’t catch her name ) also seemed happy to go out her way to make customers happy, will be back !!

Beautiful place, amazing staff will defo be back. Shout out to the two girls with tattoos... 1 million percent be back

Decent enough location/setting but the exterior dining/drinking area could look so much better (dead plants for instance, bland screen, not the best furniture). A pity that barrier fencing still remains due to falling windows from the high rise building but not the fault of the lounge. The interior is looking a bit tired and grubby in parts. The menu is ok but not overly exciting and the same goes for the selected food. Queuing at the bar to order can take some time. Some of the staff are pleasant enough.

What an awful eating experience. No table service, which is fine but when you queue at the bar for fifteen mins to place an order and no one is interested its very annoying. So we try the app to order our food which was frustrating....

Not an infrequent visitor for brunch. The service standards of recent times have really dropped. The main door was locked with no sign pointing you to which door was open; we were told to wait before we entered to be given menus; we then queued...

Ate here for Lunch with my son, both having Steak Frites. It was lovely and quiet, we sat upstairs and had a good view of the Marina. The food was lovely and service was great

Chose this over the other options in the marina due to the menu being a bit different. Online ordering at the table was not ideal as it didn't allow options to be selected and sure enough, when breakfast arrived my fired egg had to be...

This has been a go to place to take visiting family and friends for years - because of the great range of foods to accommodate different tastes and dietary needs, interesting decor and views over the marina. After our most recent visit we will be...

Superb location with lovely views over the marina. The food was first class and compliments to the chef here . Friendly staff clean wash rooms and fast service also . Recommend

Food and drink were all very nice, had 3 tapas dishes and wine for 11.50 which I thought was very good considering the setting. Would highly recommend the whipped Feta dish with the fried squid. Only reason for 3 star is we barely felt we...

Bright venue with a reasonable selection of dishes and drinks, unfortunately a few dishes we wanted were unviable but the tapas dishes we tried were tasty!

Cracking venue with views over ocean village marina. Spread over 3 floors so plenty of seating when busy! Probably the best quick tapas in town, we love grabbing a quick bite here!

After reading some of the negative reviews, I do wonder if they are reviewing the same place I visit every Saturday for my breakfast !! Today the manager was Laura ... A girl full of effervescence, and a joy to talk to. I was served...

This is a great venue. Amazing views of the harbour, lots of options including vegan, dog friendly, and great food. What more could anyone want.

I wouldn’t return here, food was tasteless and very bland and very cheap. They had more then half the menu unavailable due to not having any food. The waiters were fingering the food lifting up burger buns to see what the order was , so...

Great welcome from staff. Cool location looking over the marina. Excellent service as well. Great choice on menu, as my son is a vegan. Food was really good too!

Stayed for a weekend break in ocean village popped in sat afternoon for a drink and a Scooby snack as we were eating at a near by restaurant later that evening what a great buzzing atmosphere nice food and drink .So we decided to go...

I met a friend here for dinner. I ordered the mac and cheese with greens and broccoli costing £9.50. Omg! I have never seen such a small portion in my life. Barely 15 pieces of macaroni. I thought they had brought me out a starter....

I see that there has been some mixed reviews, but I can honestly say we really enjoyed our brunch today. Met friends off a cruise liner and headed here. Very convenient and a nice area overlooking the yachts (once the scaffolding and building materials outside...

Absolutely loooooove maritimo!! Perfect place for a hangover cure on a Sunday! The staff are always very attentive and seem to actually enjoy their job! See you again next Sunday!

Was ok but sherbet lemonade was sparkling water with a dash of sweet cordial? Not impressed... Staff were nice

The 5th different Lounge I've visited and the most disappointing. The good points were ultimately the food and some staff were friendly. I felt there were several negative points. I went to the bar to be served and my server was clearly in the middle...

Great looking place, very welcoming staff, but a bit disappointed to be seated on the ground floor by the bar considering the great views from the upper floors. We had various tapas dishes and l personally had the chicken burger, not all that impressed with...

Visited this venue and requested a table for four, and was told only table available was next to the main door as you enter under the stairs, and near the bar, when we informed the gentleman there were free table visible for upper floors we...

We stopped here for some late lunch and thought the food was absolutely amazing! We were sat on the top floor by the window and had the nicest view, especially with the sun shining over the marina! The food and drinks were a really good...

Firstly this place is ok, clean and spacious. I only had a simple breakfast of toast and coffee. The staff were welcoming and smiley which is good. The toast was lovely ... Best brown bread I have tasted in a while 👍 The coffee was...

A group of 7 , table on top floorso plenty of stairs to climb but nice views over the harbour. Good varied menu for vegan , vegetarian and meat eaters. Prompt service and tasty food. Was better than I thought it would be.

Great staff, great food, great drinks and great view!! Honestly there's nothing to dislike about maritimo! It can get busy so there can be a wait for drinks or food but that's not a bad thing, if it's busy it shows how good it is...

This place is one of my favourites in the area. Its very cosy with great views and lovely food! The staff is always lovely and very helpful. On our last visit the newest member of the team Dimitris went above and beyond to help us...

Friendly staff wonderful selection of non alcoholic drinks which made a lovely change and food was so lovely and tasty. Also reasonably priced with wonderful waterfront views 🙂

Stopped in for brunch with some friends, the outside seats were perfect to sit in the sun and enjoy the peaceful marina. There was a really welcoming atmosphere and staff were very friendly. We were asked at the door whether we had an allergy which...

Really lovely evening here with our team. All the guidelines were explained very well and we saw lots of staff sanitising regularly and cleaning lots. The food was beautiful and I would definitely visit again (am already planning my next visit!)

We used to live in the Village so have always known this place to be a bit hit & miss. We came in on the first day of indoor dining, having been nearby with the kids. We didn't have anything extravagant, just sandwiches & chips...

We visited on the May van holiday. Perhaps not the best time, but a centrally placed eating establishment should be ready for a busy sunny weekend really.The staff did try hard. They were polite & friendly enough. Perhaps they were inexperienced, there seemed to be enough working. We waited 20 minutes to be seated & then just before being shown yo our table, we were then advised there would be at least an hour wait for food. I would not of stood waiting at the entrance had I known. Inside though once seated the restaurant was only about 25% full... so why the wait? Then on going to order discovered only 50% of the cocktails were available & even less than 50% of the food dishes available. A hour & half later my friends salmon pasta had no salmon in it & was very dry indeed. My chilli was tasty but more beans than beef. I await a refund on the garlic bread as it became unavailable during our long wait for food.The cocktails were not as good as they used to be. Tasted mostly of sugar. The waitresses were sweet though & brought my dog water & biscuits which was appreciated.When we ventured to sit outside after our meal to finish our drinks a rowdy group of teenagers were very drunk and shouting and so we finished our drinks and left. One male was paralytic, sat forward with his forehead on the table whilst his friend was almost falling off his chair. They didn't look 18. But who knows, in any event shouldn't have been served more drinks in that state. There were children not far away. Such a shame I used to love this place. Perhaps best avoided on Bank Holidays or experienced management brought in to cope, although it wasn't that busy.

I was having a really hectic morning yesterday, I’m a young mum and my baby had been screaming all morning as he’s poorly, I popped in just for a bit of caffeine! But was so embarrassed as baby screamed the place down when I was at the till. Usually I get funny looks or judgements but The saving grace behind the till offered to pay for my coffee and this gesture just gave me the breath of fresh air I really needed! Amazing how impactful random acts of kindness are. Gutted I didn’t catch her name but thank you so much, you have inspired me to be more like you. What a beautiful personThank thank you xxx ☮️ ❤️

One of our fav places in Southampton to eat if you just want a quick bite - consistent and always so tasty and fresh! Mac and Cheese to die for!

Front of house was very abrupt and unhelpful, would not show us to a table so we were left wondering around searching the 3 floors for a table and then got told off for coming upstairs when only available tables left were downstairs. We were told the only way to order was through the app, then the waitress went and served the table just next to us (maybe they were regular buisness men so received special treatment). Drinks were always slow to arrive but they were very very busy. Drinks were delicious once arrived and fairly priced. Toilets difficult to find.

By chance came across this on maps after dropping someone off at the red jet. Was a lovely surprise - staff greeted us nice and quickly, were super friendly. Servers were very polite. No issues. And the views were a huge bonus!

Great to have brunch outside at the Maritimo Lounge. Good food, service and Covid safe rules. Definitely worth a visit!

Visited today for breakfast with a friend, food was lovely, we were greeted and seated by staff member Darren, he was very friendly & welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Really enjoyed it and will return again soon 😊

Went for a walk in Lunch services was quick outside area was clean and tidy. Food come out hot and really tasty, 100% recomed a visit whether it's for a drink or quick bite to eat. Certainly be back soon

Absolutely awful service tonight. Was asked for ID when I ordered milk shake!! No toilets available to use... how can a restaurant not have toilets!!

Had an amazing lunch today of the twisted sub that was recommended by the staff, complements to the chef. Amazing service, friendly staff, covid safe

Been here for brunch as it’s exceptional, now coming back for dinner!! Quality, great atmosphere and decor, friendly prompt service......

I can’t rave about this place enough! We chose the restaurant partly because it was dog friendly, it was near to where we stayed and the previous great reviewsWe went for an evening meal and the food was outstanding, that good we went back for breakfast and that was equally as gorgeous. The staff were extremely friendly and fantastic at their jobs. Totally recommend this place and we will look forward to going back.

Only reviewed a month ago but needed to see if the had improved their coffee ... And yes they have.Just had a breakfast muffin and toast today ... Which btw were good, hot and tasty and well worth it.The coffee was a vast improvement from last time so well done and it's good to see a couple of old faces back to improve the standard in there ... Sasha being one of them.When you have the right barista you get the just rewards ... Great coffee and service with a smile

Chilled out place on the quay - views are stunning I have to say. The staff seem helpful and friendly, we ordered just 2 coffees which tasted great, the reason for the mark Down was due to the time I waited. The cafe was pretty empty and I wanted circa 35 mins for the drinks. Other than that nice place.

Food was good but Pina colada was off, asked them to remake it. it still tasted really off. Like I think maybe the coconut was rancid? They removed it from the bill but the waiters weren't that happy that we hadn't just smiled and enjoyed it.

First visit since restrictions put in place. Service was excellent, staff were friendly & efficient. Really liked the contactless table ordering service

Visito regularmente el Maritimo Lounge con un grupo de amigos para el brunch los sábados. La comida y la bebida son excelentes y los miembros del personal siempre son amables. Por lo general, nos quedamos bastante tiempo con muchas bebidas y una comida y nunca nos sentimos presionados. El área al aire libre es excelente y las grandes ventanas en el interior aún brindan una hermosa vista cuando hace demasiado frío o húmedo para estar afuera. Los cambios posteriores al bloqueo son sensibles y todavía nos sentimos confiados de ir allí. El menú es variado y hay una buena oferta vegetariana (aunque las salchichas vegetarianas con el desayuno serían un buen complemento) y admiten perros.Espero volver mañana :)

Buen ambiente, pero el bar está en el primer piso, por lo que debe seguir subiendo y bajando 3 tramos de escaleras para tomar sus bebidas.

No he estado aquí durante años, por lo que se necesita una revisión. Buen diseño de covid que es reconfortante.Estaba ocupado cuando llegamos, pero pudimos encontrar una mesa bien.Solo comimos tostadas y una taza de té y un café con leche.El pequeño de nuestro grupo tenía un huevo escalfado y una salchicha que, según todas las cuentas, era bueno.El brindis fue encantador. . . Tienen buen pan y la taza de té estaba caliente y aparentemente buena.Mi café con leche en el otro tenía era bastante insípido e insípido. . . Total decepción de hecho. . . ¿Prefieres estropear la visita?

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here, great value and great service! Had a lovely view of the Marina from my table too!

Este fue un buen restaurante. He comido bastante bien aquí. La chica que tomó nuestro pedido era nueva y se equivocó un poco. Cuando señalé esto, creo que debería haberse ofrecido a arreglarlo, pero no lo hizo. Es una pena porque la comida era un poco mejor de lo que esperaba. 3 a 4 estrellas parece justo. Los baños eran bonitos y limpios, lo cual es agradable de ver. . .

We chose to eat at this restaurant because of the lovely views of the dock and we were lucky enough to get a window seat. We ordered drinks to have in the restaurant but then ordered the food to go as our daughter was crying. We found that the drinks were fairly expensive for what they were and so was the food. But the place and the food on the whole is lovely.

Ate here this morning Monday the 24th August, great Breakfast and very good value for money , the lounge breakfast is huge could not finish it ,even with the wife’s half , really nice and tasty ,highly recommend.

Located on the Waterfront in Ocean Village the venue offers a wide range of dishes and good value. Good covid-19 measures in place and great app to order and pay. Food was delicious and service very good and friendly, although an extra pair of hands would no doubt be welcome for the staff who worked tirelessly in our 2 visits. Choice of indoor and outdoor seating make this a great destination anytime.

Easy relaxed Friday early evening meal for the four of it, kids 10 & 13 - both of them happy and myself and why wife happy. Bang bang kitchen and Mexican Super Bowl with chorizo was fantastic. Staff easy to get in with and tentative! App was easy to use. Only thing is Wi-fi was hit and miss on the harbour side (need it for app QR code ordering) - maybe get a stronger Wi-fi router system. Don’t worry, still leaving 5star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visited for the first time on a Friday evening. Had an evening of drinks and tapas food, really great time. Wide variety of drinks and food and most of all, a large variety of gluten free options for my partner which is the most important thing! She was really happy with the choice and throughly enjoyed the food. Great staff and nice atmosphere with a view of the marina. Would go again

Choosing not to pay extortionate breakfast prices at the local hotel, we ate every morning here. It has fantastic views of the marina and a great app which allowed us to order from our table each day. Our breakfasts were freshly cooked to order and arrived hot. Staff friendly and very Covid aware. Prices very reasonable. Highly recommend this place.

Foods and drink was 10 out of 10. Very clean excellent menu for all times of day. Will definitely be back. Enjoy.....

Easy to order on my phone, food and drinks were quick, tasty and good value. Very clean and a pleasant experience. Would come again.

Came in here in the morning for a spot of English Breakfast after a heavy sesh the night before. Excellent service, pleasant staff and a nice breakfast. No complaints.

The place looked so tempting on a hot day to drop in for a milkshake. Queued to order (social distancing being practiced) so no problem. When finally served (no one else waiting) told then milkshake machine broken. Had to check with the boss what she wanted and by then two more people waiting to be served. Instead of taking my order the server started on the other customer and I had to rejoin the queue. They say there you only get one chance to make a first impression. This place, despite the interior and menu, failed.

We are regulars at this splendid restaurant. It is great that it is open again. Good food, lovely environment by the marina, and splendid service from hard working staff. BUT: tables must be cleaned and checked before the next customers are seated; sauces must not be passed uncleaned between tables by the staff; and staff should wear face masks. Just a few changes but necessary in these circumstances. It does not feel as safe as other places locally.

This is an excellent place to drink and eat. The food is amazing and great value for money. Suitable for family's or groups of friends. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again.

Really lovely food! Very helpful and friendly staff! Will definitely be coming back again very soon!

I ordered Shakshuka and I thought it's scrambled egg but it was poached egg. I asked them to change it to scrambled eggs and they did for free. Thank youuuuu

Modern cafe/bar in Ocean Village, built in 2015 for just over £500,000. No cask beer, but sells "craft" beer from the keg, such as Punk IPA, Goose, and Shipyard - pale lagerish beers with modern citric hops (a bit like the old fashioned "lager and lime"). I love this place. It has a great vibe. Children are welcomed - there are games to play. And every time I come there is a good mix of people, including lots of women. This is not a laddish or loutish place or a CAMRA recommended grumpy old man's pub - this is a modern bar, pointing the way to the future. My one complaint is that cask beers are not available.It's on three floors, each decorated with framed paintings, and furnished with bohemian mixed wooden tables and chairs, some painted, some not. Some of the lighting comes from the SS France ocean liner. Music is present, and is a good mix, played gently in the background. The main sound is the pleasant buzz of conversation. No loud voices. No raucous laughter. No swearing. Calm, refined, relaxed, cool.The views are of the Ocean Village harbour with all the yachts. The walls are all glass, so the views are all around and ever present - unless you happen to face the one wall with no windows. Food is imaginative, exciting, well cooked, healthy, and very veggie aware.The downsides are the lack of cask beer, and that this is more cafe than either bar or pub. It is possible to come here just for a drink, and to look over the water and enjoy the vibe, but the emphasis is clearly on eat and go.

Aware that this a “dog friendly “ place only when saw the dog menu.However, was appalled to find woman with huge hairy dog deciding to sit on next table (why? place only 25% occupied). Dog then commenced barking. No one asked her to stop it. Dog kept barking.Woman went to place order at bar downstairs. Dog then got on chair, put paws and face on table. Had just finished our food. Felt revolted and left.

Perfect for a chilled and comfortable drink and meal, best view by the water and really friendly staff- would definitely recommend and the interior is super cool!

I'm from International Bartender Association. Sat in front of bar, main door behind me. Couldn't take my eyes of a lady with black hair that stood on the bar, place by a coffee machine and fresh juice machine with her shoes on and without shoe protective covers. She was cleaning top shelves. But all that was done while customers were being served and drinks including coffee being prepared. Cleaning has to be done outside of business hours.Another issue. Fix the main door guys. Service is amazing. Food is great. Love the new menu.

We visited for a family breakfast. We found the staff very helpful. All 4 meals (2 breakfasts and 2 lunches) were well presented and very tasty. Love the ambiance and the proceeded for a walk around Ocean Village. We will be returning.

Lovely, friendly staff and a great atmosphere plus vegan food that tastes amazing! I recommend it to everyone I speak to.
