After Fareham Live opened last week, you would have thought there would be some joined up thinking on trade. With over 800 people leaving the venue at just after 10pm. I was surprised to be told they stopped serving drinks when I walked in at 10.20pm. lots of trade lost I will expect. The slug was picking it all up.

Visited for brunch with my teenage daughter. It was midweek and I was impressed that there was a toddler play area setup in the corner (despite my kids being way too old for this now!) I wish that had been about when my kids were younger - great idea! We ordered the bacon and maple pancakes, banoffee milkshake, Americano and a Miami Brunch. Everything was served speedily and with professionalism and we felt it was fantastic value. The standout winner was the Miami Brunch which not only tasted amazing but is a unique dish you don’t find very often and also looked so pretty. We’ll definitely be back!

Popped in for a drink while waiting for an appointment. While the greeter was pleasant and welcoming I refuse to have to open an account to order a pot of tea, this is pure data mining. I appreciate that the system is great when ordering food and cocktails but it is ridiculous that if coming in for one drink you spend longer downloading a data rich site to place your order than you do drinking it. Thank you for your reply however we advised that we had to order via the app. I would have much preferred to go to the bar and order.

Every experience I've had at Vito has been top notch. There was one time (distant past) that my food came out cold, I told the waiter and they were ever so kind about it and even gave me a free drink of my choice to make up for it. For that, I'm still going to give a perfect rating. Good customer service is providing good service, great customer service is knowing how to make up for a mistake, and Vito can do just that.

Place itself and staff welcoming and lovely that you can take dogs. Unfortunately this is one of several visits where the food is not great so felt had to leave a review this time. Lacking in flavour but presented well. Fries only just warm. Previously had Tapas but now portion size so small not worth the money. Also the water glasses look terrible and would not want to drink from them. Will hopefully come again soon and things may have improved and go back to the quality of food we use to enjoy here.

Really cute place, nice ambience however we went for the tapas Tuesday offer - get 3 tapas and you get a free glass of house wine - it wasn’t made clear when placing the order using the QR code how to do this and after telling the first person this they were of no great help and then the second person I spoke to said I had to go order at the bar. At this point we were half way through our dinner and had already ordered other drinks anyway. Also, service tip was asked for when ordering food online, I hadn’t actually been β€œserved” yet for me to be able to give a tip?

Querky lounge. Good ambience Service was fine though not warm, just functional and slightly detached I was thrown off a bit when asked if I wanted tomato ketchup with my caesar salad πŸ₯— πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Salads are a good indicator of chef ability as often, they are thrown together with little finesse or skill This caesar was 'ok'. It lacked anchovies, even though I requested at ordering. Not sure I saw any dijon in their either The dressing was excessive and led to the leaves just being a floppy mess. I would not order it again I get the feeling that the food is good if you order the routine or signature dishes

Popped in for an Easter Sunday lunch to Will who seated us with our little one in a perfect spot, the tables are spaced so nicely, not too crammed in. Will recommended the Garlic Kiev after me giving him the options of that and the ciabatta club, but warned me of the garlic (which is still repeating on me now and I've got absolutely no complaints about it) the Garlic Kiev burger was delightful! I'm a fan of strong taste so abit of garlic was no challenge for me. The service was second to none! Will and the team made sure we were comfortable, our food came out in a timely manner and checked back in to see if everything was OK. We'll definitely be visiting again! Thanks Will and Team!

Located in Fareham pedestrian area. The bus station and taxi rank is next door. There is plenty of parking around. Inside there is plenty of seating, however the day we went we had to be seated by one of the team, when there was no need as there were plenty of empty tables. Self serve on line or at the bar. Team are friendly and professional. Food came in a short period of time. Little disappointed with one of the meals - the potatoes in the sauce and chicken were meant to be crispy, yet they were soggy.

We walked into Vito (where we have been many times and enjoyed immensely) having watched a band just up the road. We had both had 2 drinks and were sober. It was 2320 and the bar closed at midnight. The lady behind the bar (who was already cleaning the taps and was missing numerous teeth, in case you actually read this and would like to identify her) said, with no justification, that my wife looked like she had had too much. I've never been more taken aback. She then said that she would serve us 1 but no more. We left. If this is what customer service has come to then it's not worth coming out anymore. As an ex manager of bars and restaurants, if my staff did this I would be letting them go as they were obviously trying to get away early and costing the company money. Maybe the barstaff should work until the end of shift and not try and cut their hours..

Xmas party. We had pre-ordered and it took an hour to get starters, an hour for mains and we were eating dessert at 10pm!! Not good enough. Staff didn't care and no-one seemed in charge or managing the team. I also think it very dangerous that staff have to come down stairs carrying heavy plates, this is a disaster waiting to happen. The venue itself it unique and lovely but sadly staff/care failed to impress so 25 people and their families won't be returning anytime soon.

I visited today after being on the road for a while and asked the staff behind the bar if it was ok to use their toilets - I noticed that it was customer only toilets so assumed I'd either be allowed or told no but thought I'd still try. The lady behind the bar was lovely and advised it was ok too. TMI but I was desperate for a wee but also wanted to know if they sold coffees to go but thought I'd ask after. Before I got to ask, as I came out of the toilet - I was immediately screamed at by the 'owner' who told me that I'm not 'in the real world' and 'do I know how much toilets cost to pay for' and that it's 'common decency to offer to buy a drink' as I'm 'clearly an adult' - as you can imagine, I was in shock and never once in the 20 odd years of my life have I been spoken as rudely as I was today. The 'owner' was pointing in my face, storming over to me whilst her staff and the little customers she had (not surprising) watched. The 'owner' advised I was told yes by Jane as she's nice, but she's (owner) not so nice and runs the place. I offered to buy a drink and was about to tell her that I was going to ask for a coffee to go, and explain I was too desperate to use their toilets before I could ask, but I was told no and to leave, whilst she shooed me off with her hands in my face again. I'd like to say, no wonder you moan about the cost of your toilets if your pub is as dead as it was today, every day. Maybe work on your people skills and manners, then you might have a few more customers and you won't need to belittle or be nasty to new potential customers that you could receive, that pass by. I'd also recommend enforcing your rules onto your staff, so they aren't put in this predicament in future. To be screamed at and embarrassed in front of people, whether their customers or workers was not okay, and I dread to think how you treat your staff - maybe you should get in the real world yourself or do something that makes you happy because you're clearly miserable and obviously need to learn how to treat other human beings. Owning something has clearly given you a superior complex that makes you feel like you can speak to people like crap - it is a human right to use a toilet, and I shouldn't feel wrong for doing so. I could've had a medical problem or suffered from mental health issues and being spoken to like that, and in a situation like that could've triggered me - luckily, I don't. I dread to think how they'd feel, being treated that way for politely asking to use the toilet. Overall, I do not recommend and will never recommend. Whether the 'owner' was having a bad day or what, I do not know - but if you are an 'owner' of a business, you should learn to put that aside. I say owner in quotations as that title for you is not believable. Go to another job if it makes you that unhappy - instead of spreading your horrible, bitter, and awful nature to everyone else.
