   I booked a table for a birthday meal only to be told when we got there that booking a table doesn’t mean there is food involved 🤔 . Yet on the booking it asked if you wanted to see the menu 🤷‍♀️!!!

   The size of Rita's is very deceiving, its huge! Beautifully designed and decor makes the visit feel very special. Food is nice, quite small portions but the waitress did tell us this. Food was nice and came out quickly. Would visit again.

   This was our daughter's Graduation celebration brunch and to be honest chosen somewhat at random. We were so pleased we'd picked well - food and service were really lovely and it made a memorable day even more so! Thank you

   Such a shame went out with a group of friends for drinks and waited 40 minutes for just four drinks. When we then asked politely if our drinks were ready the waiter was unnecessarily rude. Won’t be back in a rush mainly due to the service.

    Overall thoroughly enjoyed. Food took slightly long for brunch but no real annoyance. There was four of us in total. Service was very good and the food was lovely. This was booked for a birthday brunch for my wife. She had 3 mimosa’s with hers. I would have thought one may have been free for her birthday, as when we booked we were asked what the occasion was, and I think why ask? If nothing is then acknowledged. Small moan but that’s it. Everything else was very nice. Alex waterman. 07818509207

    Love everything about this place. The decor, the service, the food. We were here on a Saturday afternoon so it was pretty quiet but it was perfect for our date. It started to get busy as we left. Highly recommend for night out with mates or the other half. Bao buns are awesome.

    We were welcomed straight away by a lovely lady. Then served straight away. The cocktails were amazing but we also ordered other spirits too. There was a DJ playing and the music was perfect volume with great choice of tunes ( soulful house ). The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and had a lovely atmosphere. The toilets were clean. Overall I would definitely recommend this venue. We will be back.

    Some friends and I travelled to Southampton for a surprise Birthday weekend away! It was all booked very last minute but we found Rita’s, saw that it had had some good reviews and suited the vibe of the place we would be looking for for casual Dinner and some drinks. Rita’s has some great ‘area’s’ so although we could hear the DJ (who was great) it didn’t interfere with our conversation during dinner and meant we could move to the bar afterwards quite easily.

    The food we had was nice but we had a 9pm table and were told food stopped at half 9.30 which is fine but we had booked for a meal and were then told basically we could only have certain things from the menu as they were doing the roast dinner for tomorrow ,which was a bit odd . Drinks were expensive which is standard for a city restaurant and I’m happy to pay it If they are of a good standard but alas I’m fairly sure my drink was all water with a shot of rum ..quite rank . Lovely restaurant but the seats we had felt like we were in a hallway . Bit disappointed as we were looking forward to it but we felt like a bit of an inconvenience to be perfectly honest. Sad to say I wouldn’t go again . I’m happy to pay a lot of money for things but not if it’s not spot on . I’m very sorry to leave a bad review

    I absolutely LOVE this venue!!! It’s so welcoming and the has beautiful decor. All the staff were extremely attentive including the owners. Love the vibe too! ( there was a dj, playing some good tunes) All the cocktails were made to perfection and the food looks so delicious. We even had a little dance. I will definitely be back as this by far, is one of my favourite cocktail bar/ restaurants.

    The ambience could have been improved. Placed at the back of the restaurant next to the kitchen with the door bashing with often no other people in the area. Hoping to get more from our first time experience there as locals.

    I booked the table through open table and it wasn't immediately apparent that on Sundays the restaurant only serves Roast dinners. When we arrived at the restaurant, we were greeted with surprise by the three men at the front, and once we said we had a booking one of them said we only serve roasts on a Sunday, so obviously they know that a lot of people turn up on Sunday expecting the full menu. We felt that the way that they welcomed us etc could have been warmer, the restaurant wasn't overrun, they weren't overly busy. The two friends I was with loved the food, they thought it was fresh and well prepared. I thought roast dinner was better than a Toby's, but not the best I have tasted. We are planning to return on another day to try the other menu items.
