The Watermark - Portsmouth

This restaurant is a stunning location with delectable food and a gorgeous view of the marina right outside. I celebrated my 55th birthday here and make it a point to come back on Fridays and Saturdays when they host a disco for guests to enjoy. The atmosphere is lively, the staff is friendly, and there is ample free parking available.

Not as good as it used to be. In fairness went on a busy Saturday night and had to wait a long while for service for food and the bar ran out of glasses. The music was great but atmosphere was a bit tense. Probably good for a night out but not for a meal on a Saturday.

Was not made to feel welcome with a young child. Asked for a highchair on booking and whilst ordering and one was only produced after staff chastised me for my toddler running loose. Even though after several asks no chair was provided for me to prevent this in the first place. So embarrassing for me when I was already extremely stressed. Live music was good however really odd to have it over Sunday lunchtime this really needs to be advertised better no conversation could be had over the music during dinner. Food was average at best. Childrens choices abysmal however judging by my welcome I presume that's because they don't want children coming. Pineapple upside down cake was horrible really stodgy and solid not enough pineapple and too much glacé cherries. Not much choice on the wine list but decent cocktails albeit overpriced. All and all a disappointing outing I would not return.

Booked for Valentines. Terrible decision, it had more of a trendy bar vibe than a restaurant. Our order was forgotten then when the food came out it was terrible quality. They charge gastro pub prices and driver food that would be sent back in Wetherspoons.

Dreadful customer service. We had to wait over 50 mins for our food and we were the only people dinning ! To be fair when our food finally arrived it was nice. At no point whilst eating were we asked if everything was ok. We finished our meal and waited for our plates to be taken or be asked if we wanted desert or our bill no one came. My wife went to the bar and ask for to pay the bill, whilst paying the bill she noticed a flyer advertising 2 course for £12, she ask why we hadn 't be told about the deal when ordering ? The guy replied ' I forgot ' !!!! She then commented that the complementary WiFi wasn 't working, his rely was ' mine does ' !!!. To the the slim guy with glasses who represents The Watermark you customer service skills are shocking and your attitude stinks !
