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

Lovely place and our mains were nice but DO NOT get the oysters if you want really bad food poisoning!!!! It’s such a shame because we enjoyed our time here until 3 out of 4 of us woke up with violently bad food poisoning. I know it was the oysters as I was the only one that didn’t consume them. Really need to re evaluate how they sort their food as I’ve just read this has happened to multiple people… be warned!! Lovely atmosphere and staff but may get food poisoning from the oysters 🤢🤢

Had the best meal we have had for a while. I had the oysters because our friends had eaten here recently and said how good the food was. I take issue with the previous reviewer making unsubstantiated comments that this restaurants food had made him and his partner ill. 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. Following the Portofino recommendation, we had Red Mullet and monkfish tagliatelle which were just superb.... Thank you for and enjoyable gastronomic feast and people... Don't believe everything you read... Try this restaurant for yourselves. It's the best

We were lucky enough to experience the taster menu twice last year, a wonderful experience which has stayed in our memory. This year we visited Wheelers with a couple of friends for lunch, unfortunately due to timings we were unable to book for the taster menu in the evening. The restaurant was very busy,but we had booked well in advance for our table of 4. Service initially was a little rushed, but still friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food, once again, was sensational, everything from crab cakes ( which apparently have been on the menu for 25 years), cod, served with gazpacho, lobster lasagne, sea trout, perfectly cooked scallops, Oriental prawn and scallop dumplings, beautiful fresh Whitstable native oysters and the list goes on... As if this wasn't enough, a myriad of delights on the deli counter on the way out. We could never tire of this place, or the innovative new dishes (or even the old faithfuls). Just wish we were closer to Whitstable! One not to miss.

Unfortunately, we spent a lot of money to eat a whole crab and half a lobster with the strongest ammonia flavor. We clarified - is it normal for there to be a smell in these seafood? The staff's answer is yes, it's a normal smell. Either the staff working here is not qualified, or we were simply deceived. Of course, you can work only to earn money, but...we had a child with us who also ate all the seafood with us. The result of visiting this restaurant: three adults and a child with nausea. The scallops came with sand. This is also very unpleasant. Never go to this restaurant again Update. We are used to a variety of fresh fish and a greater selection of fresh seafood. Eating seafood and being able to disassemble it are two different things for us. So please don't jump to conclusions. However, the crab and lobster smelled of ammonia. That's why we asked your employee about this completely unusual smell for food. We didn't take the whole meal, just a portion of the risotto. And only because this dish and your carbonara were delicious.

So intimate that we ended up chatting to the couple next to us and shared our wines with them. BYO with £5 corkage. The off license opposite has some of the finest wines and champagnes. Food is delicate, fresh, beautifully presented and served by some of the friendliest staff. Really enjoyed our meal and ended up staying late. Everyone left and we were the only ones chatting away. The staff silently waited and no one interrupted to have us out. So thoughtful. Will remember this experience.

This was the complete opposite; wonderfully executed food served by attentive staff. 3 and a half hours later and our only regret was not being able to manage the optional cheese course.

We came here without a booking on a Friday and had no problems getting a table. We were tempted by the catch-of-the-day fish dish on the menu, which was not particularly cheap, but we fancied some fresh fish. When it came it was simply but nicely served, and tasty enough. But from the texture and dryness, it is dubious whether this was a sea bass grilled from fresh, most probably it came from the freezer. There was a small problem with the bill which was eventually sorted and we paid the promised prise in the end. The decor in this restaurant is lovely and the staff were pleasant and polite.

What a find for a wonderful Sunday lunch celebrating my Husband’s birthday! The food was fabulous and we also had great fun with the staff who were friendly and open with their recommendations when we were torn between menu choices. We will definitely go back on an evening to enjoy the Tasting Menu.

Small intimate restaurant. Celebrated husbands birthday by having lunch here for first time. Unaware it was a BYO…corkage £4…but was directed to the off licence opposite or in our case a bottle of cold wine from Sainsbury. Lovely menu. A nice touch of complimentary 2...

Awesome food, spacious dinning area, and the staff are just attentive and caring. Oysters are fresh the grilled octopus are great appetizers. Portions for mains are generous and I must recommend the half lobster and whole crab (they are on Today’s Special on our visit on 23rd July).

Had a wonderful meal here sitting at the bar on a Saturday night. Particular highlights were the Monkfish cheek, the Dover Sole and the Strawberries and Cream dessert… Would recommend this to anyone in the area wanting some Seafood- I’d definitely put this above the...

Bright and breezy. Very good starters. Generous portions,almost a meal in themselves. Nice bread on the side with taponade. Mains also good though my spaghetti with seafood was on the salty side. A wee bit noisy, no soft furnishings to soak up the chatter . We will definitely go again. Great that Bath has a proper fish restaurant.

It's been our second visit to Portofino and we really enjoyed it. + good selection of seefood, fast and professional service. Delicious bread, oysters, Fish and octopus. We will definitely come back and strongly recommend this place. - Slightly strange that chef serving grilled octopus with little pot of sweet chilli sauce in my opinion they don't much. Opposite way my "day special" Red. Mullet came without any sauce, so I have to ask some tartar. Overall food quality and portion sizes are very good! Thank you

We came here for my birthday dinner, for the tasting menu. Each course was amazing, but the Wow title goes to the lobster ravioli. We all agreed this was the standout course (though all the other courses were superb too). All went very quiet when...

Really incredibly fresh and inventive seafood in a friendly and homely setting. We wish we hadn't had such a big breakfast before coming as we were too full for dessert which looked lovely too! We had two kinds of oysters (outstanding), a really good ceviche...

Went to Whitstable for day trip. Decided on above for fish and chip lunch, as advertised on board outside. Service and cleanliness excellent. The biggest disappointment by far was to be served french fries instead of real chips.I did not expect this from a traditional...

The food here is amazing! We had oysters, naturally, which tasted SO fresh. Then we had crab cakes, like no other crab cakes you have ever eaten (in a good way), fish main and a lovely raspberry sorbet with home-made raspberry ripple ice- cream. They...

Casual atmosphere with exceptionally cooked seafood. Bring your own drinks as they don’t have a bar (there’s a lovely off license across the road with a great selection of wines).

Fabulous. Often use the deli but took a table for two for lunch. All courses delicious. Prawns and turbot particularly good.

Excellent service and meal. This was our first time back since lockdown. The new menu was wonderful and I really preferred it to the old menu. We can’t wait to try the tasting menu which apparently now runs only at weekends . Well worth a...

We came here for lunch recently, having read all the positive reviews. The restaurant is quite cramped, with tables for four a little too snug for comfort. We arrived at 2pm as it was the earliest they could fit us in, maybe this was why...

I really believe that we couldn’t have found a better seafood restaurant, not only in Whitstable, in a much greater area. Very impressed with the menu, with the freshness of the ingredients and with the food presentation. After checking other well-known fish restaurants in Whitstable...

Stumbled across this place as we were walking into Whitstable from our hotel. We had just had breakfast so we didn't stop to eat anything. But later that day we visited again, however we didn't realise how quick things sell out (eps the spring rolls)....
