Four of us had dinner in the restaurant on Saturday night. It was busy enough to make a nice atmosphere, but not too busy for bad service. We all enjoyed our meals and it worked out to be good value for money. I had booked using one of their 25% off deals and as it incudes the drinks it worked... More

We travelled from Portsmouth to Dock O The Bay after reading the reviews, for valentines. It definitely lived up to expectations and exceeded them! We had our apprehensions as valentines evening is always so busy in restaurants and yes dock o the bay was busy but it didn't feel like it. The tables were nicely spaced out so it didn't... More

Keeping this one short and sweet! Great food, great alcohol, great staff. I use to just go sit at the bar and drink myself silly. That's what I liked about the place, that they welcomed not just diners but also alcoholics ;-) oh and they serve fresh vegetables which is great for those looking to get 5 a day. More

Visited this restaurant after reading the positive reviews on here and we weren't disappointed. Situated just outside of the town centre it was a short taxi ride away from our hotel. I went here with my parents to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary on a Sunday evening, it was fairly quiet, though there was still a nice atmosphere. The service... More

Attended for lunch with a group of 4 family. First visit for many years. Place was quite busy at lunch, but service was good - friendly and informal. Lunch menu had decent choice of dishes - I had the "8oz" hamburger which was very substantial and tomato/motsarella salad a starter- good choice. This place is well worth a visit -best... More

We have been going here for over 10 years and can honestly say it continues to provide first class food and service.

Despite not visiting DOTB for some time, got the usual warm welcome and from staff that have been there for some time... must be a great place to work. Had a spot of lunch. Courteous and attentive service throughout. looks even better inside from being extended and done out. Only small thing, I feel the food just needs a little... More

We ate here in the evening while staying just across the road at The Elizabeth House Hotel (see separate review) The restaurant was fairly busy on a Tuesday evening. This seemed a good sign that proved correct as we had a very good meal. There are a number of cosy dining areas on two floors. We had a drink in... More

I've eaten at Dock O' The Bay lots of times now with my friends. I was initially invited by some friends to a meal there a few years ago at a time when my own income wouldn't permit me to eat out, and since getting rather better off have gone back over and over again. It's a lovely restaurant; simple... More
