Was hoping for more. Staff were friendly and service was ok. Steak was very well cooked but everything else unfortunately was just very average and not especially cheap. The dining room has also seen better days. Sorry…

We went for a birthday lunch, midweek. The restaurant was pretty empty, it’s a large air conditioned restaurant which was good on a hot day. Service was faultless, as was the food. They offered a couple of set menus as well as a le carte. We had smoked salmon and scallop starters, sirloin and rib eye for mains. We felt the prices were very reasonable. Well worth a visit.

My first time here today. We booked for a table for 7 to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We all went for the 4 course menu. I must say, from starters to desserts, it was amazing! My sirloin steak was perfectly cooked! Erin recommended Malbec with my steak which was just amazing! We will definitely be back! Thanks for making a birthday plate for my friend too. 🫶🫶🫶

Had the most amazing lunch here served by Mount. Great seafood starter followed by the 5oz fillet steak which was cooked to perfection and just enough for lunch time. Chef Bima came to our table to enquire if food was good which it was and also good value for money. Will definitely recommend and will be returning.

On walking in the decor is a little dated and bland but this is the only negative we could find, great service from walking in the door, a warm welcome and polite manner always starts well. Taken to our seat, we were advised of the menus and drinks list available. Offered to take our jackets and provision of water as we sat down. Advised of the GLUTEN FREE/COELIAC AVAILABILITY, plenty of choices and chef was happy to adapt to suit. The service was just as you'd want not too much but just enough to go that extra mile!! Food ordered and kept informed of any gluten potential risks. With a few adaptations, we sat and awaited our meal. Starters and mains with a bottle of wine to share. Food was incredible, cooked well and as requested.

Was only in Winchester one night and my husband found this restaurant online. The food was excellent. We didn't have starters - just as well as the main was delicious and very filling. Everything bar the potatoes with the roast veg was cooked to perfection. Service was friendly and unobtrusive so we were left to enjoy the food. No room for dessert, so I can't comment on that, though I'm sure it would have matched the standard of the entree. We'll go back if we're ever in the area again.

We had a wonderful pre theatre lunch here. We were offered a choice of table and were immediately offered iced water which was very welcome because it was a very warm day! We both chose scallops with lime and pomegranate to start with which were delicious, cooked to perfection. Then my husband had a rump steak and I had a sirloin. The meat was superb. We both like our steaks rare and these were cooked to perfection! To accompany we had chips and the vegetables of the day which were al dente, just as they should be. A couple of jugs of sauce, one peppercorn and the other blue cheese were also brought. Service was second to none. Our server was a charming girl who was attentive without being obtrusive. She had the foresight to warn us that the vinegar bottle tended to be a bit enthusiastic in its dispensing. Very welcome warning - how many of us have over doused our chips when a little sprinkle was what was intended? We were in Winchester for a matinee at The Theatre Royal next door and I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough!

We ordered a t bone steak ( rare) and a medium sirloin which was cooked perfectly. Steak tartare for a starter was amazing. The setting is intimate but by no means small. We will definitely visit again. Many Thanks.

After checking out reviews for restaurants in southern Hampshire for a family lunch I decided on Porterhouse. Partly as my brother doesn’t do ‘fancy’ food. We arrived and the restaurant was empty. This was 1pm so maybe a little early and it was a Wednesday. The music was relaxing and a banner saying ‘happy birthday’ lay across the table. The host was most welcoming and friendly. My garlic and chilli prawn starter was delicious with large juicy prawns. The others went for mixed seafood which they enjoyed. My main was ribeye which was perfect. Mother decided on the sea bass which was generous. Father decided on rump as there’s no surcharge with this (although it was less than £4 for my 8oz ribeye) and my brother opted for a huge fillet. A enormous pile of chips arrived as did two jugs of homemade sauce: blue cheese and peppercorn. If we wanted more chips and sauces we were asked to let the staff know. To finish we chose chocolate brownie with chocolate sauce and bailey’s cheesecake. My father didn’t order a dessert, yet a cheesecake arrived with a candle on the house. Excellent and generous. We all thoroughly enjoyed all the courses, left full, staff were great and excellent value for money. This is a lunchtime offer anyone in Winchester would be foolish to miss out on!

Dined here last night. 2 couples on pre Christmas break to Winchester.Scollop starter was the best any of us have tasted. Two porterhouse steaks, cooked medium and medium well. They were absolutely delicious, so tender and full of taste, and ' rested' and relaxed as a good chef knows to do . The 2 sauces were a delight. One diner had recently enjoyed a porterhouse steak at The Connaught London, and said these were just as easily as good.Refills of chips/ veg and sauces should we need.Well done to you all, the attentive, friendly front of house team and chefs, you gave us a top night.

Visited for our anniversary meal after failing to book our preferred venue early enough. (I’ll be reminded of that for a while!)The restaurant is very bland inside. There’s no warmth or atmosphere to the interior and it all feels a bit cheap. However the staff were very welcoming and explained the menu. Drinks and food turned up promptly. Condiments were in plastic sachets which didn’t improve the impression. My ribeye was very nice, cooked as requested, full of flavour and piping hot. The chips were a bit of a miss and tasted and looked like standard freezer fare. Not the restaurants fault, but there was a very loud birthday party a few feet away which unfortunately didn’t really add to the ambience for us. A ribeye and a fillet with water to drink came to £70. We didn’t stay for dessert.

Visited last Sunday evening. Couldn't fault the service. Attentive, friendly, & made you feel comfortable. Even encourage me to try the roe on the scallops ! Which I was pleasantly surprised with. We both had fillet steaks, medium. They were more medium rare. That isn't a big issue to us, but my husbands plate had quite a bit of blood floating around. Steaks shouldn't bleed on a plate if rested. But again wasn't a major issue just shouldn't happen in a steak house. The steaks in our opinion lacked seasoning & flavour & were actually quite tough for fillets. Hopefully just a one off. We would try it again as all places have off days. Just this time is wasn't anything special.

A solid steakhouse but disappointing when compared to the big time ones in London, Chicago, Las Vegas, etc. I started with the steak tartare, which was nice but surprisingly not served with an egg or bread. For a main, I had what they referred to as Prime Rib. It was actually a grilled bone-in ribeye, not roasted Standing (or Prime) rib. A ribeye, though is a great cut and it was a fine steak though nothing special. I was disappointed in the asparagus, barely grilled and none of the truffle oil flavor that was promised. Overall, a solid steak but not a special meal.

We booked this restaurant while on holiday and celebrating our anniversary. Used the online booking service which worked very well and received confirmation by email. During this time of covid protocols the restaurant was laid out well to give every diner ample room and the service staff were all wearing masks. We received attentive, yet not overbearing service and our meals arrived at good intervals and were nicely hot. The food was excellent. We shared a porterhouse steak, which we had sliced, accompanied by very tasty side dishes, so much so that we ordered more later and they too arrived quickly, without fuss and hot. My husband was particularly keen on the peppercorn sauce. Much to our surprise the staff brought us a lovely 'third' dessert with Happy Anniversary on it. A small, but lovely touch. We would return again without hesitation.

We booked a table for 7pm this Saturday evening for myself, my brother and the wives after attending the Sausage and Cider Festival. We were earlier than expected so my wife called up and asked if we could rebook for 6pm which was not a problem. When we arrived, we were greeted by extremely welcoming and polite staff who seated us and allowed is plenty of time to look through the menu and select our meal and drinks. 3 of us chose the Grilled Trio for main course which consisted of Flllet Mignon, chicken breast and lamb chop and I went for the Beek skewers. Due to my wofe having a shoulder injury, we asked if her dish could be cut up by the chef and I asked if my skewers could be made extra spicy, and this was greeted with no problem and they happily obliged. The food was delicious and the service was superb, and extra mention to Rohan who looked after us so well and is an absolute credit to the retaurant. We had a wonderful evening and will definately revisit when we are next in Winchester. If you like steak, this is the place to go in Winchester no question.

Having read the large number of positive reviews, we decided to give this place a try. We were not disappointed. We started with the shared mixed platter, and then the rib eye and t bone steak, all the food was good. Only minor criticism was the blandness of the blue cheese sauce. With a bottle of Syrah, the bill came to just over £100, which was reasonable value for money.

Went for the chateaubriand deal for 2 for £ 50. Asparagus,halloumi and salad to start was light and right for what was to come. My wife required steak cooked medium while I opted for medium rare. Due to the portion size of meat, 2 of the medium rare pieces were a little on the blue side but this issue was quickly rectified by chef/waitress. Excellent quality of meat. Sautéd potatoes and veg medley very good but the meat was the real star. I requested a sauce (not on menu ) which wasn’t a problem. Have paid £100 plus for this meal in London. Really impressed. We went for an early evening dinner so The Porterhouse was quiet but food , service and wine were top notch. Highly recommended.

Went for the chateaubriand for 2 with the halloumi and asparagus starter special. Cost the best part of £50 and the starter comprised of a small slice of halloumi and 1 asparagus spear each, along with a few lettuce leaves. The steak was a nice piece of beef although well undercooked, we asked for medium-rare and it was bordering on blue. The chips and the garnishes and sauces just tasted cheap and detracted from the quality of the beef. Im happy to pay a bit more for a meal if you get the quality but it most definitely wasn't good value for money.

The two course lunch menu with a glass of wine, beer or soft drink must be the best deal in Hampshire. The food was nicely presented and cooked. Service was friendly and attentive.

We had a great evening here for my partner’s birthday! The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Not too attentive, though, just the right level.

Visited The Porterhouse for our anniversary meal. For starters we had the sharing platter which had king prawns, chicken & steak skewers and halloumi cheese which was delicious. For a main dish I had the prime rib steak and my wife had the rump steak. The prime rib was tasty but was well undercooked. I asked for medium rare but half the steak was extremely rare! I sent it back to be flashed. My wife’s rump steak was extremely over cooked! Not sure how a steakhouse cannot cook a steak to how you request it! The sides were delicious though. The extra touches and the cheese cake which was complimentary because of our anniversary was a very nice. Staff were very good and helpful but wouldn’t return

Our 1st visit to The porterhouse and it won't be our last. The steak I had was very good and cooked just how I like it. The service was very good and it was good value for money compared to somewhere like The Ivy.

Starters: Friend had the jumbo prawns which looked great & he said they were delicious. I had the scallops which were ok but not the best. Mains: friend had the fillet steak with garlic butter sauce and came with a big bowl of chips he also had cream spinach & asparagus- it looked amazing & he said it was. I had the sea bass which was really good, lovely crispy skin served with a lime butter sauce and tasty spinach. Would recommend. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of food. Waitress was very attentive

Went there for My Partner's birthday. Four of us in our party one of whom had a gluten problem which was not only explained to them at the time of ordering. We googled restaurant espescially for their gluten free menu. However they served a product that contained gluten and although recectified within a few minutes has left her with a medical problem. The meal and service in the whole was good but a complete dicfount of the tyotal bill should have been offered, it wasn't. The food ok... the attitude not

Called into Winchester for a quick view and a quick lunch. Recent reviews on here suggested great food with quick and friendly service When we arrived there was a large prebooked party just ahead of us which made us apprehensive. However the warm welcome and greeting put us at ease and we experienced just what we expected and as described on other reviews. Food and wine was great and service was quick and efficient. Should our travels take us back to Winchester then another visit to The Porterhouse will be an essential part of the itinerary.

Visited for anniversary meal. Menu was expensive and food quality did not match the price. Bread was stale, steak was over cooked and lacked flavour. Chips were bog standard at best. Service and atmosphere were ok. Won’t be visiting again.

The restaurants own description: It's about doing something simple & doing it better than anyone else; is exactly right and they do this to perfection. We pre-booked a table- and were given a window of between 7 & 7:30 to arrive. Steaks and lamb were melt in the mouth bursts of flavour, the drinks and digestifs on offer are also excellent. The manager (?) is very friendly and recommended wine for my husband. All three of enjoyed our relaxed, luxurious experience, and when we visit Winchester again this will be our go to place to eat.

Three of us for a birthday dinner. Literally cannot fault the food. Two of us shared the porterhouse steak which was sensational - the equal of the Hawksmoor. The broccoli cheese was great and the Baileys cheesecake was yummy. My only reservation was that the decor is quite stark and a too brightly lit. Almost to the point that I’m not sure we’d go back. If they could make it more intimate with a warmer ambience - it would make it a perfect package.

The place is modern so the style of dishes too. Food is high quality. So you better prepared to pay equivalent prices. Personnel is very polite. Kitchen is very cleaned and tidy. There is a bar too. The nearest car park is 5 minutes walk.

Went here based on other reviews as we were heading to the theatre afterwards and we were not disappointed. Had the 3 course menu. Excellent service by all the staff, my friend had the steak which she said was really good, I had the chicken (not a steak fan) which was equally delicious. Copious amount of chips too. The baileys cheesecake was amazing. really pleased we stopped here and would go again if we didn't live so far away.

We arrived to a lovely welcome and the table had been decorated for my partners birthday, lovely touch. We decided to share the Chateaubriand and asked for one part m/rare and one well done which the staff did for us happily. The whole evening was lovely and we cant wait to visit again soon :)
