Really loved it here. The staff were fun and friendly. The food was amazing, and great value too. In recent years, chains like Prezzo and whatnot seem to be similar prices to places like this but substantially less quality. Really enjoyed it here and already plotting coming back 😎

The oysters were refreshing, sweet and absolutely delicious! I couldn’t believe I found such a fantastic restaurant here. The fish and chips were better than many traditional places. Everything was top-notch: the food, the service, and the atmosphere were all excellent. Highly recommended!

We booked a table on Sunday for today Wednesday 4th Dec for a very special celebration the guy at the desk asked us which table and we booked a specific table and were told that he would make sure we got it. Then on arrival today to a busy restaurant we were told the table was not booked on “the system” and offered a table close to the front door. Absolutely shocking hospitality service I’ve been in the business for over 30 years and would never let this happen to any guest. I wouldn’t give any stars but can’t continue without adding one.

Really enjoy this place for seafood. Very very warm, stylish interior, nice little outside seating section for some cocktails when it's sunny. Fish from here is *chefs kiss*. Had the fish of the day and the seafood risotto. Fantastic- fish was meaty, moist and full of flavour. Pannna cotta, 2 glasses of wine and some limoncello between two with great service for around £70 I think? Doesn't get much better than that frankly. Great for a date night or special occasion in my opinion.

Great place to stop for an afternoon snack/lunch. We come once a year and love sitting on the stalls in the shop, looking at all the fish on the counter. We always pick a selection of bits and a plate of oysters and enjoy. The staff are always so friendly. We leave very full and satisfied. Husband always nips across the road for a bottle of something from the off licence to wash his seafood down with.

It’s incredibly heart breaking to see two live lobsters, claws with elastic bands round them, waiting to be ordered and killed. Lobsters are incredibly intelligent beings, and I can’t understand the want to have them on display, alive and suffering. It breaks my heart. I ask the restaurant to please reconsider this. There is no need to have them alive, waiting. It’s torture, and many people would agree that this is not necessary. Again, I kindly ask you to reconsider.

We as a family of five adults visited for a late lunch. Our server the lovely Mel took good care of us. Our starter of local oysters was simply amazing also the starter of seared scallops was delicious. The restaurant doesn’t serve alcohol but has a BOYB policy with a corkage of £5 pee table. You definitely need to book well in advance but it’s well worth it.

The restaurant has beautiful decor looks absolutely top dollar expense but is actually very reasonable.

The grilled seafood platter was sufficient for two adults and a child. The fish was grilled very nicely. Presentation could be better maybe add a salad instead of the solo rocket lettuce. The oysters were plump and very fresh and not fishy at all, I really enjoyed them, I am not a fan of oysters. Service was plain and simple there where many staff on hand as the restaurant was not busy. Ambience was plain, but then the restaurant was quiet. In all a simple well cooked fish grill and very nice oysters. I will be back as I would like to try the Mussels. £160 for the meal was on the high.

What a great little find. The food was absolutely excellent, service good (efficient if not refined) and reasonably priced too. We had the tasting menu, which consisted of breads, appetisers, various mains and desert too. It’s bring you own wine - but there is a shop (literally) on the opposite side of the road called The Offy, which has a great selection of wines and beers. You have to book as early as you can to get a table, as it only has about 24 seats and only one evening sitting. It’s very much worth it.

Loud ,over the top conversations ..You could hardly hear yourself think or indeed talk . So restaurant great …. selfish inconsiderate customers not so ……

The restaurant is good. The polpo bruschetta with fresh cherry tomatoes and fresh bread were amazing – definitely order it. However, the salmon was too heavy – there should have been less sauce, broccoli was cold, the sauce accompanying fish didn't taste good as well as lentil soup. If I were here next time, I would definitely order fish carbonara (carbonara di pesce).

Very disappointed as myself, my disabled husband and small dog, sat at a vacant table outdoors, looking forward to a lobster and oyster lunch and when I checked with the young lady if this was fine with the dog she asked us to move into a dark courtyard round the corner with no space for our dog. She explained that they keep the front tables empty for bookings. There was no ‘reserved’ notice on the table and observed another couple just walk up and sit down, they did not have a booking either. You need to be honest and just say that you are not ‘dog friendly’. Needless to say we took our business elsewhere.

Staff were extremely good to start. Very nice and clearly fans with the locals. The food wasn't bad just a lot of elements that were lacking . Ordered the salmon tartare. The ciabatta was only lightly toasted then sat on a grainy beetroot puree , with the raw salmon on top all very soggy.. All tasted fine but the textures were all off . Should be crispy bread , crunchy shallots and capers in the salmon and a smooth beetroot puree. Salmon wasn't diced well. The seafood pasta after lacked sauce. Must of had 3 prawns cut up and 6 mussels all tasted fine . My wife ordered the salmon and swordfish carbonara. Was slightly split and lacked seasoning. We didn't get offered a dessert as the staff started cleaning down . Lovely decorated restaurant and the fish counter in the window is a lovely touch. Just a shame a few elements were off. We don't live in bath but if we did we would probably try again but wouldn't rush back.

The food was okay, but the service was really poor. My father is very particular about his food (anything additional on the plate which he does not ask for will freak him out), so we made it extremely clear what he wanted and to leave everything else off the plate. Unfortunately, even though they said they would provide what he wanted, they did not and there were many extra items and seasonings on the food which they explicitly specified to us they would not put on the plate. The man who delivered the food was also very rude. When my father mentioned that the food was not what he ordered he told him that the food that came out is what is served - they could have just politely told us this when we were ordering and we would have gone elsewhere… They also brought out the mains before the starters even though they said they would do the opposite and forgot one of the drinks which never came out. Overall, the food was okay - nothing memorable but service was really poor and the staff did not seem to care at all.

To be honest, this is my second time visiting this restaurant. When I first came here, the service and food were very good. That time I ate with my son, but the second time I went there to eat, the attitude of the service staff was very problematic. First, he had a weird reaction when I entered the restaurant. There was only one other customer and me in the restaurant, and there were no customers at other seats. Since this was my second time dining, I asked him directly if I could sit in the same seat as last time. He said he couldn't use the table but didn't give me any reason. His attitude was already very unfriendly. Later I ordered two entrees. Judging by the look on his face, two entrees are enough for four people? Do I have to order an entree per person? In addition, after eating, the wife took her son to the bathroom to change his diaper. I followed her and changed my son's diaper. We entered the toilet together. The service staff saw us walking into the toilet together. He saw me taking my son in to change diapers, and knocked on the door while I was changing diapers, saying that only two people could go in here. Why? what reason? Because I'm Asian? Am I more likely to be bullied? Do you discriminate against us? As for the food, I did think it was good the first time I ate it, so I brought the whole family to this restaurant again this time. Unexpectedly, this dining experience was so bad. Instead of improving, the food deteriorated. I ordered a risotto and a pasta dish. The risotto was normal, but the pasta had no flavor at all. Not even a basic salty taste. Even if I make it at home, it still tastes better than him. I don't think I will eat at this restaurant again. If you have children, I recommend avoiding this restaurant. Finally I asked the waiter what his name was and he answered me. I won't reveal his name here. I know you will read this message. If you see it yourself, check your attitude

This place is one-of-a-kind and we couldn't be happier with our meal there. The place is TINY so do book early to avoid disappointment. We started with -- you guessed it -- Oysters. We chose three of the approx half dozen varieties they have on offer. They were fresh and delicious. We also had the Korean shrimp --which was sticky and superb (though I could have done without the coriander leaf). For main courses we had skate, cod, haddock and monkfish. ALL OUTSTANDING. The puddings did not disappoint either... rhubarb soufflé, chocolate fondant, and an original whipped cheesecake situation that was truly original and out of this world. The service is fantastic, and there's an off-license (literally called the OFFY) directly opposite where they will recommend a bottle or more to pair with your meal. All told a delightful success and we hope to return!

We are now having to invent extra reasons to celebrate with lunch at Wheelers. We used to called it The Birthday Club, but three times a year is just not enough. Wheelers will never be awarded a Michelin star I would guess as so many other factors support the winning of a star more than the excellent service and sublime seafood present here. Personally I find the whole place, still in a time warp, bar the kitchen a masterpiece of stainless steel cleanliness, is it's charm, so perfectly retaining the memory of seaside hostelries of a bygone age. We invented our extra visit to try out a new menu and were transported as ever into the upper echelons of seafood perfection on a plate. Even the 'amuse bouche' slivers of warm homemade bread and a homemade pesto to die for presented on a slate to share is a dish in itself. After a half dozen Rock Oysters zinging with freshness, I moved on to a new, and as far as I am aware, unique dish. Roasted Scallops, Rabbit Fish Finger, White Onion, Rosemary and Pecorino Puree, Dry aged Bacon, Courgette and Scallop Roe Veloute. Quite a mouthful for a starter but just seafood heaven worth three Michelin stars in my book. The sheer intricacy of the dish, especially the rabbit fish finger showed just how much trouble they go to here inventing something that rises head and shoulders above the rest, a combination made in heaven. Who would ever contemplate twinning rabbit with scallops, a last meal for the condemned man indeed and I for one will weep if it is ever removed from the menu. We managed to prise chef from the kitchen near the end of service and it was not surprising after his explanation of how something so simple was in fact a masterpiece of construction, planning and execution. Needless to say the rest of the meal was superb as always ending with a sublime rhubarb soufflé. Should you ever find yourselves aiming for the South East coast, in Michelin language then it's 'definitely worth a detour' to Wheelers, though book well in advance. Our next birthday is in July, so we are going to have to invent another good reason to return before then.

WARNING - DO NOT ORDER OYSTERS OR OTHER SHELLFISH FROM THIS RESTAURANT, YOU WILL GET SEVERE FOOD POISONING. THIS RESTAURANT HAS NOT INVESTIGATED THIS AND HAS BEEN CAUSING FOOD POISONING TO CUSTOMERS FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. == UPDATE 19/02/24 == I am very disappointed that you have not so much as acknowledged my email suggesting that you are selling food that is causing food poisoning. Whilst I enjoyed the food which didn't cause me food poisoning and had every intention of returning, your lack of response to both this email and my neutrally-worded review on Google, as well as multiple other Google reviews complaining of exactly the same thing as recently as 6 days ago, has spurred me to lodge a complaint with Wiltshire Council's Public Protection team who will be investigating your restaurant for selling food which contravenes food safety standards. I also see Portofino claiming that a customer was complaining about spending so much and "should not go to expensive restaurants" - who wants to go to any restaurant and get food poisoning? Rude conduct from the restaurant. == UPDATE 09/01/24 == The following day after eating here, both my partner and I became ill with bad stomachs and I was bedridden for a day with chills, vomiting and hallucinations, with my partner having a temperature and headaches the following day, luckily she escaped the hallucinations! I researched and found that when oysters are stored improperly or not treated before serving can pass onto you a vibriosis infection, which gave us our exact symptoms. I contacted the restaurant with a friendly email on the 22nd December and was not replied to - I am now posting this review publicly. DO NOT ORDER THE OYSTERS.

AVOID. Wish I had read the reviews before eating here as this is clearly not an isolated case. Myself and my partner have been so ill since ate here. Vomiting, diarrhoea, aches, chills. We ordered the seafood platter & had concerns about how it looked but stupidly dismissed them as we were hungry. Chefs couldn’t look more disinterested, skulking around an empty restaurant. Cannot believe this place is just continuing to get away with quite literally poisoning people they should go to jail! To top it all off spent £140 just to get poisoned! Disgusted.

*update* Thank you to Portofino for returning my email this afternoon. It's good to know that you are following all of the food safety measures to try to prevent your customers becoming ill. Myself and my family will be avoiding oysters in the future. ___________________________________ We were visiting our daughter at uni and took her for a treat meal to Portofino on Saturday afternoon. The service was great and food was actually delicious. But on Sunday evening I was violently sick and my husband and daughter started with the same on Monday morning. I hadn't read reviews prior to eating here and wish I had. I have never felt so ill. I tried emailing the restaurant but have had no reply. I've also contacted environmental health to report our suspected food poisoning as it would appear ours is not an isolated incident. I wouldn't want anyone else to go through this.

We bought two dressed crabs on Saturday afternoon, 3rd February 2024, and put them in the fridge at home about 15 minutes later. We ate them the next day. They tasted odd and old and had been frozen, certainly not fresh. We both had uncomfortable nights with upset stomachs, and stayed in bed all next day (which is where I am now). Clearly, not a place that’s as good as they think they. They should call in the Public Health to check out their hygiene

How come this is allowed that people can slag off a restaurant without medical proof... Our experience was scallop starter, octopus starter and 6 oysters were terrific.

Ordered a selection on items, went and got bottles from The Offy so we could have 2x bottle of processco with our food. Lovely place

Nice place , nice decor, strange service , I didn't happen to touch a cup of coffee and I already got the bill , the feeling ( drink quickly and go away). Not cool...

Another visit to our local seafood restaurant. It was however a first visit for one of our friends. He now knows what he has been missing!!! Great local food efficiently served. What’s not to like?

Our first visit to Bath and to Portofino Oyster Bar. We would thoroughly recommend! Food was delicious and everything was freshly cooked. The staff were extremely welcoming, knowledgable and pleasant. Definitely try this restaurant, we don’t think you will be disappointed.

Food was lovely, let down by cold air blowing onto us. Our food inevitably went cold quick, we were freezing. Told staff who said the heating was on, then a waitress sat to have her break and put her coat on. Didn't finish my meal. Went elsewhere for desert and coffee. Won't be returning.

What a hidden gem! Lovely comfortable restaurant serving top notch seafood. Very inventive but show casing classical cooking at its best! A small menu ensures super fresh fish and sea food. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Had a fantastic evening with Mum and sisters. The fish of the day a whole wild Sea Bass was amazing. Can recommend the seafood soup the monkfish pasta and the sea Bass with samphire, octopus, potatoes and mussels. The staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was relaxed and congenial. Trebbiano wine also slipped down well.

I had the most delicious magical feast of oysters, bubbles and seafood with my daughters at Portifino Bath. The service was AMAZING, our every whim was catered for with curteous and efficient charm. Can't wait to return for another special meal, the evening will live long in the memory.

The fish soup was amazing. And the grilled fish of the day was really tasty. If you want to eat seafood this is the restaurant in Bath!

This is such a gem! The interior is lovely, makes you feel like you are at a restaurant in a different country. The food is amazing and at a very high standard!!! You need to try their mussels- I've never had anything like it before! More than that, they were never my go to. Honestly I don't know what they do to them but they taste amazing! Staff are attentive and helpful with recommendations.

好吃,服务态度好,就是有点不新鲜。不过问 题不大,比码头上卖的生蚝个大味道好,不腥。价格都差不多。但美中不足的是他家太爆满了。

A delightful experience - really good local oyster and a most excellent seafood chowder. The staff are friendly and engaging making sure you enjoy your experience. Lots of ‘local’ atmosphere which makes it a lovely experience especially as the staff make you feel very welcome. Great seafood and well worth a visit but booking is a must.
