Location is great. No issue with finding parking on a Saturday night. Service was nice but maybe abit slow. Some of the fried food was a little oily (samphire nibbles) plus 2 of the mains were off/run out which was disappointing. But the other food we had was all tasty and cocktails were good

My family and I came down to Portsmouth for a day trip and spontaneously decided to dine in at The Briny. We ordered a bit of everything to try cause all the platings look fabulous on Google photos. Food were spectacularly plated, well-seasoned; we even had to order more oysters! The waiter who served us was very nice and welcoming, would love to revisit next time!

The Briny, was extremely accommodating to me being a coeliac and gave me a specific gluten-free menu. There was a lot of options which I was ecstatic about, I went for the fish and chips. My goodness, so damn good. Ah I wish I lived in Portsmouth so I go here more often. I wish I could leave 10 stars.

Located on the seafront with great view of the Solent and all the ships.The staff on the whole are pretty disinterested with a few who are very friendly, helpful and professional.The food portions are small but taste okay. The prices are over average. On the whole okay but no more.

I have had a beautiful Briny Breakfast, everything was cooked perfectly - the best breakfast I have ever had. The waitress Evie helped me with everything and was very attentive to my requests. Everything was on point from the very beginning, I highly recommend to choose this place as it is just unbeatable in any aspect.

First visit, excellent service and location. As with their sister restaurant, abarbistro, excellent food and atmosphere. We only had the small plates, haddock fish cake, crab mayo and pickled cockles.Superb choice of wines available.

Booked for an anniversary dinner to hopefully remember it surpassed our expectations. The kitchen certainly know what they're doing. The preparation of the crevettes and oysters was excellent but it was the cooking of my partner's lobster and my fish and chips that was exceptional. The former was probably the tenderest lobster we've ever had and the latter - well anyone can fry fish, can't they? Sadly they can't and I've lost count of the number of times I've been disappointed but here was one of the best I've ever had. Add in a packed restaurant on a Tuesday night, an excellent Vermentino and service from Amber that was friendly, prompt and attentive and the result was a wonderful meal that we'll remember for a very long time. Thank you all those involved.

First time visit and we will be back again!!! We did have the perfect weather for sitting outside drinking chilled rose wine. The Briny staff were lovely, efficient and very welcoming. The food was simply fantastic. Really hit the spot. Very tasty. I had roasted river Test trout so local to Hampshire too. Highly recommended.

I am very disappointed with this restaurant. They are located in a nice area near the beach and the restaurant inside is quite nice.The problem is the food quality, the price, and also the service.Starting by the food quality, the food is very bland and it doesn't taste much. We ordered 3 fish and chips, and they all were very greasy and tasteless. Then they suggested taking the fresh fish of the day, which was a seabass, but when I asked if I could clean the fish myself, they said it was already a fillet.1 of my family members at the table ordered it anyway, and the portion was ridiculously small for the very expensive price.The only dish that had taste was the mussels. But again the price is very high.The service is very slow, and they don't seem to pay attention to the customers. My father in law ordered a beer, and we had to remind them multiple time before getting it.The same for the starter, which took long to arrive, and it seemed they forgot about it.The restaurant was busy, and this could be a reason for the long wait to be served.In the kitchen there were 4 people but probably they were not organised or enough to deliver a good service.This place at the moment has no competition as they are the only one in the area but I honestly I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.If you love to pay a premium to be sat in a busy restaurant that serves tasteless food and very very slow, then this is thenplace for you!
