Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We visited Ceno to celebrate my sons engagement,and it did not disappoint. Lorraine and her staff were truly exceptional and it was a very memorable day. Cenos is really one of the best roasts in Southampton without a doubt.

I hosted my best friends baby shower, and it was amazing. People are still talking about the food now! The bar staff did an amazing job, with a very busy bar and welcome drinks. Lorraine was so accommodating, and made it a very special day.

Visited CENO this evening for a catch up with a friend. Lovely chilled atmosphere. We were met with really friendly greeting from Zoe & JC, and their great service continued throughout the time we were there. Opted for the 5 for £25 tapas, all of...our choices were amazing, favourite was sticky lamb salads. We then opted for the mini desserts, definitely a great choice, all so tasty. Great place, friendly staff and gorgeous food.More
