Reviews Gin & Olive Southsea

Been here a couple times, love the gin selection. Had food a few times, usually go for the sharer boards, couldn't fault them apart from some unwashed leafs. This time decided to have a bottle of champagne, which out of the 2 they didn't have the one on the menu which I had chosen, then offered a slightly more expensive bottle, it was fine although after opening the bottle and had a few sips, the waiter comes over saying the bottle was more expensive that he had mentioned after when he opened it.🤔😐🙄

Amazing venue! Amazing service! Amazing food! Highly recommend! Having previously been in for drinks and dinners we had our baby shower here over the weekend, we will definitely be back for future gatherings. Thank you so much gin and olive!

Absolutely brilliant food and drinks. Menu is extensive for cocktails and gins. Ruth was lovely and fab hostess. All prospered fresh and they keep them coming. They were prompt in coming to our table as our drinks were running out. Two drinks at anytime and within the 90minutes we 100% got out our monies worth.

I’ve been here twice now and the second time was even better than the first. I went with a group of friends the first time and we got a couple sharer platters, the grill and the seafood. They were both great but a some of the food was cold so that was disappointing, but it was a fairly busy night so we didn’t make a fuss. However, the second time was much better. I went with my husband and we got a grill sharer between the two of us and everything was hot, fresh and delicious. The food here is great and if you enjoy steak I highly recommend it!

If anyone is looking to attend a bottomless brunch, go out for a few drinks with friends or sit down to enjoy cocktails and food. Look no further. This is hands down one of the best bars you could attend in Portsmouth, in fact, in Hampshire! I recently had my Hen Party at the Gin and Olive, there was 14 of us. Even though it was a high number, this did not impact the service or speed of drinks. When we arrived the staff had surprised me with decorating the table, complete with bride balloons and a crown. I felt so special. We were then seated very quickly and instantly had Prosecco and bread and olives. Then the bottomless brunch started, the food was absolutely wonderful and the cocktails were spectacular, I thoroughly recommend the margarita. They had every cocktail you could want in multiple different flavours. Ethan the bartender was attentive and incredibly skilled at what he does. A wonderful host, Ruth. Remembered my name through the whole experience making chatting to her and ordering with her so easy. The drinks were constantly flowing and there was never an empty glass for long. I could not thank you enough for such a special afternoon! I am so excited to come back and will be recommended here to everyone!
