Angry Alys - Portsmouth

Excellent friendly service and delicious food. Monty's Caters easy for vegans, of whom we had in our party. Very good restaurant choice in Southsea.

Mixed feelings. Some things were good. Service was slow and room was mostly empty of staff for the first hour, and then it was all a bit hit and miss. Some of the food was good but not a place to go back to. Regulars seem to be happy and also get special treatment. A bit disappointing given some of the great reviews. Maybe it was an off night.

We booked the day (for this evening) through Open Table and received the confirmation email. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were told there was no booking for us, as with booking via Open Table, the bookings do not come through /checked by restaurant until the following day,! So others beware! We waited at the bar, as they said, a table would not be long at the end it was about 40 minutes. The food was rather tasty, no bread with appetizer made of smoked salmon available as an outlet.

I had booked a table for my partner's anniversary, but when we arrived, the restaurant was closed. I spoke with an employee the next day and was told that they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, even though their website states that they are open 7 days a week. The employee was very rude, and the manager never reached out to apologize for the inconvenience. I would not recommend this place at all.

The staff at this restaurant is very welcoming and the cocktails were excellent. The food was also delicious.
