The Briny in Portsmouth

Breakfast at the briny this morning. A beautiful sunny day so breakfast on the seafront was an ideal way to start the day. We booked ahead and were greeted by the host who was friendly and chatty and found a better table than booked which was great.Drinks were ordered just after sitting down. Menu was pretty diverse. Prices a little higher than average but unsurprising given the location.Food was tasty and fresh and service friendly although we did have 5 different people taking our orders and delivering food and drinks and payment.Venue itself was clean and well laid out with plenty of inside and outside seating as well as table, bar and pass seats depending on what sort of experience you wanted with your food.On a sunny day a nice place to stop.

We went on holiday at the beach and fortunately we discovered this gem for our brunch. The place has a beautiful sea view and it is welcoming inside. The service is well organise and so attentive - they split their responsibilities to bring food and drinks without any waiting time. - The food was superb and well presented. Furthermore, the quality was fresh and really good portion. I recommended the “The Briny Breakfast”.One of the best brunch that I have ever eaten.

Invited by my son and his girlfriend to join them here. Great place, great food and great ambiance. Starters of Crab and Pork Belly were both taste sensations. My Baked Cod with chickpeas and bacon was mouthwatering and gone to soon... to finsh a medley of puddings - great raspberry brioche, but the best was the plain chocolate and ice cream... the price was steep... but for once, worth it!!! Highly recommend...!!!

Cannot recommend this lovely restaurant enough, my absolute first choice, we had an amazing anniversary celebration last Saturday, we enjoyed fantastic food, delicious cocktails and as always wonderful, attentive staff.

Tasty food well presented love the atmosphere and great service. Really enjoy the local feel and the view of the sea.

Fabulous food, fabulous food, good quality service. Not easy for us to go out since we are clinically vulnerable but they managed to put us out the way and it was so good to eat out. Our first time in 2 years! Our son is at Uni here so I'm hoping we can have another safe visit very soon. Fabulous thank you!

Second time here and as good as ever. Service/Food/Atmosphere etc all brilliant, prices pretty reasonable too.....Skin on fries with gruyère and crabmeat.....The Briny equivalent of dirty fries are something else!

I love this venue. I’ve not been often but they’re so wonderful! The food, the wine, the service, they are fabulous. After a slightly awkward dinner with louder tables; they were very sympathetic and understanding and tried to deal with things appropriately. Anyway, asides from that it was a brilliant evening and they are lovely in there. I wanted to revisit here and enjoy the experience. They’re on par with decent London restaurants. Hats off to The Briny

Beautiful restaurant serving delicious food. Very friendly, helpful staff - nothing was too much trouble and will definitely visit again .

Loved the food in this restaurant.The fish of the day was very tender and juicy. The brill was also great. Dessert: pumpkin pie with bees - mild combination of pumpkin pie and whipped cream - delicious! I recommend this restaurant to everyone.
