Ceno in Southampton

The customer service was really good and we were served with a smile :)However the food was quite disappointing despite the really good reviews... the duck was quite dry and the accompanying sides felt stale and left over. Surf and Turf was very avg overall felt quite underwhelmed. Potato confit was nothing like what you’d expect, greasy oily and not presented well at all.The lamb salad is really good though!

Went for lunch and was not disappointed with the quality of food and ALL the staff were outstanding. You can park in the hotel next door for free, but give your registration to Ceno reception......5 🌟

Fantastic restaurant! This place is a gem within Southampton and has slowly become our go to place for great food and one too many drinks ahah! Special thanks to Kayla for her above and beyond service ⭐️

Absolutely fantastic! Food was out of this world, and staff were A class. Good job guys, will definitely be returning 🌟🌟🌟😊

Called in Sunday evening after being told no booking no availability at a pub diner nearby & they couldn’t have been more accommodating.Lovely food & drinks in a pleasant location & we had our dog with with us who they had no problem with.Was a pleasure so thank you very much

Possibly my favourite restaurant in Southampton. The food is always delicious and the menu is updated regularly The staff are always brilliant and they make you feel welcome, nothing is too much trouble for them. If you haven’t already visited Ceno then I would highly recommend.

A nice place for a get together with friends, family or on your own, especially in the summer when you can sit out in the garden and enjoy the sunshine. Plus they have a decent tapas style menu selection to accompany that ice cold drink!

Visited for the first time today with my wife. I had the ham eggs and chips with piccalilli, she had the meetball mozzarella sourdough. Both were simple options but were excellent: freshly prepared with high quality ingredients and a bit of a twist. The staff serving us were polite, friendly and helpful, and attended to us quickly and efficiently. It wasn't too busy, but there was good ambience. Highly recommended.

Well I used Trip Advisor to find the best place for Sunday Dinner in Southampton for Mother’s Day & Ceno Restaurant came top of the list so promptly booked a table for five. Wowsers, not only did it live up to the recommendation but exceeded all our expectations! One of the best meals I have ever had said the mother in question, we all agreed that this was one of the very best dining experiences and will be booking again as opposed to, would go again. I gave them 29 out of 30 based on my three courses and fellow guests felt the same.My starter of battered prawns was sublime, big juicy prawns in a delicate hand battered coating that could only be chef prepared on a delightful bed of salad with a lovely sweet chilli dressing. Mains was traditional roast beef, quality & taste of the meat as good as it gets, gorgeous vegetables roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding with copious amounts of mouth-watering gravy (I had to user a teaspoon to make sure I finished off all the gravy, licking the plate in public would have been too crude but di consider lol). So, the right portion size with quality ingredients make a roast to salivate over. Went for the plum crumble in custard, felt like a real crumble too, perfect balance of stodginess and sweetness with a light custard. Guests also had the delight of the sticky lamb in a lettuce bowl of gorgeous salad, roast pork & crème Brule’s to a chocolate brownie all getting praise like my courses.Service was excellent as was the ambiance, reluctant in some ways to give such a recommendation as too many people will know and will have difficulty in getting in in future visits but credit where credit due – I salute Ceno as a memorable dining experience and just can’t remember or think of a better experience.

Our second time dining at Ceno. The restaurant is modern and has a nice location. We had to wait a couple of minutes for our table, so we sat in the bar area. It was relatively busy and also quite loud in there because of the amount of people. However, overall the bar area was a nice place to have a drink before sitting, some couples were just drinking and never left the bar area.Moving on to our starters where we ordered a mixture to share. The scallops were really nice, the variant of garlic bread (that i can't remember) was also very good. Across the table, the Tempura prawns were also good. Moving on to mains, I had a steak with garlic mash, it was cooked nicely, overall a good cut of steak. My girlfriend had the duck, which was a huge portion, she couldn't finish it but she really enjoyed it. The duck was cooked nicely as well. To finish off with our Salted Caramel and Banoffee sundae with cookie crumble was very sweet, but very good. If you have a sweet tooth like us, we would recommend it! The other desserts are also good which we have had before.Overall, I can see why this restaurant is placed highly on tripadvisor and also other reviewing platforms.
