Talisman - Southampton

Food is always well cooked and beautifully presented. Please bring back the Breaded Plaice. Service is friendly and efficient.

Excellent as usual. Sunday lunch very well cooked with a good selection of vegetables. Very good service

I have been dining at The Talisman regularly for the past 6 years, but I was extremely disappointed with my most recent visit. The service was subpar, our drinks were incorrect, and the waitress seemed to struggle to understand us. We were never given the option of dessert, even after waiting for half an hour after finishing our meal. When we asked for coffee, we had to request the dessert menu ourselves. The waitress was inattentive, leaving us without drinks for extended periods of time. The chocolate fondue dessert was particularly disappointing, as the chocolate was watery and not at all fondue-like. This was by far the worst experience I have had at The Talisman. If you haven't eaten there in a while, I would suggest sticking to just having drinks.

Booked online earlier that day. Shown to our table and looked after by a very good waitress. The food was lovely and they have good quality drinks at reasonable prices. To be honest, our experiences at the Talisman continue to get better and better, which is making it our pub of choice in the area.

I had a great experience at this relaxed and friendly pub/restaurant. The service was good and the food was delicious. I will definitely be returning in the future.
