Had a fantastic steak meal! The staff's attentiveness added to the overall positive experience, and the food was absolutely great. A must-try for steak enthusiasts!

The service is excellent, the atmosphere is excellent, the food is awesome, the steaks are just mouth watering, the staff are very polite and friendly, this place is by far the best place if you want a very well presented meal, we have been here a few times now and we WILL be going again, one thing also to mention is on sundays they do a sunday roast, and yet again this was 100%, must say carnicero keep up the great work you all do, well done.

Was recommended this place and after reading reviews decided to book for birthday dinner for my steaks fan son. Honestly I am very disappointed! For £105 " to share" 50 oz tomahawk we got thin pieces of fat with steak looking like " cut off slices" from the main steak piece. Service is nice that's true, restaurant busy.We were advised getting " to share" would be better than separate portions and as most prefer rare cooked, the waiter even offered to adjust the portion as medium- well done for 1 of us. Unfortunately most of meat looked medium- well anyway which wasn't good, and quite chewy, fat with most slices looked like " cut off ends parts" rather than proper steak portion. It looked more like the small "share" portion from their menu for £54, which we were charged £105. For sure i have tried better steaks for half of the price paid here. I was aware the portions are very small, which is true. And we left still being hungry, as most fat was left on the board. I would expect some fat as it wasnt't fillet steak, but for sure if they sliced thin pieces of 50oz chunk of meat there should be no cut ends tiny pieces with more fat then meat on. My friend had single portion of sirloin and said portion smaller than used to be and steak very dry this time. This might be unlucky dinner and not nice part of steak/ delivery, but the staff should check the quality especially when charging as much I would expect to pay for nice part of steak rather than fat. I will not recomment this place for sure!

Had a meal booked for 6pm & within 10minutes of sitting down we had our order of drinks, i recommended their French martinis. Service was quick & perfect , friendly family vibe with the staff, more than happy to accommodate- and the food was absolutely incredible, the scallops were the best I’ve ever had oh and the steaks - the fillet was cooked ridiculously well - cut like butter - Beautiful char on the outside - Hands down best especially with their red wine sauce mwah absolutely stunning will be coming back ever chance I get !

went for a meal for my son's birthday the other day - they accommodated with fairly short notice (same day) for 10 people. The food and service was exceptional. Some had the fish which they said was absolutely fantastic and my son shared tomahawk steak with his friends on a sharing board - it was perfect! the rest of us had various sharing steaks or personal steaks and it was the best I've had in a while. I went to Ocean grill for steak a little while ago and that was overpriced and overcooked, so don't hesitate to try this place instead, much better value for money. We will be back for sure.

Incredible food, outstanding service, Food is immaculate and absolutely delicious, compliments to the chef who I had to thank personally. Especially for the Truffle mac n cheese which was rich, full of flavour and so smooth. The steak was caramelised to perfection and cut like a knife through butter. Great quality steak, honestly loved the personal attention to detail from the chefs, the waiters and I'm so glad I got to thank the chefs themselves including the owners wife. All of them did spectacular. Best steak we ever had for my wife's meal. We'll be coming back and recommending to our friends and family. Love you all lots ❤️ Thank you for everything and for making our night extra special, you rock! 🤘

Service was terrible! We booked a table for 9 people. As soon as we sat down we were put under pressure with a time limit. The waiter was talking at us and frankly made us feel like we were a burden. This was a horrible feeling. We were rushed to order and were even told that we may not have time to order 2 courses. We were still eating our meals and the waiter came and gave us the bill. We could only eat as fast as the food came out. When coming to a restaurant like this that charges good money, you come for a good time and the experience of dining out. We spent a lot of money and ordered multiple bottles of wine, so not as if we were taking up space and not spending money. The food was good hence giving 2 stars, but there are multiple steak houses in Southampton that offer great food and service. We would not be returning here again and I would not recommend Carnicero to any one.

A steakhouse restaurant to celebrate . A comfortable atmosphere with friendly staff. The food was good, the steak was made to perfection; although I would have preferred it was sizzling hot. The family enjoyed the food also, which is always a plus. London prices however, I will recommend. Be aware, if you order a cocktail called 'Mai tai' say 'your tai' or the joke will be on you!

Stumbled across this place when visiting our daughter who's at Uni in Southampton. What a fantastic family owned and run restaurant. The food is absolutely top quality and its become our go to restaurant when in Southampton. Honestly some of the best steaks I've ever had. Staff are genuinely friendly and attentive and the have an outdoor seating area which is under cover with heaters too. We sat outside when we visited with our French Bulldog who got lots of attention and even a bowl of water brought out for her. If you want a top quality steak with friendly service in a family run restaurant then Carnicero is perfect.

Name now changed to Grill something :). The cafe looks a bit like a works canteen and very off putting. The service is appalling, very slow, very disjointed and items come at random. I order drinks & food. 20 mins later nothing, so I asked where the drinks were. 'Oh you want drinks now?' Yes please, so my drink arrived; later the second, and then third, just an orange, much later. The food too came in dribs and drabs. Possible the worst service I have had for ages. Food pretty good though and excellent chips. Staff very friendly and apologetic.
