  “We visited Bar and Block on a saturday evening and had an amazing time. The food was great but what made the experience extra special was the staff in particular Jessica. She was friendly and the smile never dropped from her face despite having a table of 16 to serve. A great asset to the venue.”

  “Wanted to sit outside in the sun, no table service there. Nobody else outside, no smoking sat outside, have to go through the restaurant back out the front door, so you smoke next to the fenced terrace but not on it? Great steak, but very poor on garnish/trimmings.. for £36 was expensive for what you got!”

  “Popped in for a late lunch and used the lunch menu. Service was outstanding as was the food. Initially served by Adam then Dan. Exemplary customer service from both members of the team. Food was superb. Didn't take too long and fresh. Will be back.”

  “This was a stunning, top experience. Have been to steakhouse places but this really is a place of great food and ambiance, simple yet elegant, so relaxing that we’ve stayed nearly 2hours just chatting and enjoying the food. The reception desk was attentive. We went around half past one, the place was not crowded but later on crowd turned up. Food was served on time, the steak was really good. In addition, before the meal they have given us a beef-dripping popcorn which is really really good - this is a plus! Customer service was excellent, they were busy but very approachable, especially to Charde who has assisted us brilliantly! Also prices are reasonable and they do have a lunch-early-dinner menu available apart from the main menu. Located near the dockyard. A great recommendation! Parking (as in free parking) is quite difficult to find, but carpark is available behind the restaurant.”

  “Really difficult to get hold of staff, no one to be seen. But when around they're lovely. Steak tastes cheap quality. Peppercorn sauce lacks flavour. Diane sauce is good. Steak sauce (advised by waitress is like HP, great on chips, far too strong for steak). Chimmichurri is too oily. Salad is similar to harvester or pizza hut. Spinach too watery Asparagus overcooked If you're looking for a small step up from a Beefeater', you're in the right spot.”

  “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We visited Bar + Block Portsmouth last night to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and our server, Val, truly made the evening special. Val was absolutely amazing – friendly, attentive, and so genuine in the way she made my wife feel celebrated. It wasn’t just great service; she went above and beyond to make the occasion memorable. She is a real credit to the restaurant. The food itself was incredible – cooked perfectly and full of flavour. But for me, dining out isn’t only about the food, it’s about the whole experience, and Val really elevated ours. Thank you to the team, and especially Val, for giving us such a wonderful evening. We’ll definitely be back!”

  “We had the most wonderful Christmas meal at Bar + Block Steakhouse! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely flawless. The festive decorations created the perfect holiday atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout. The food was spectacular—our steaks were cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, just as you’d expect from Bar + Block. The festive sides and drinks added an extra touch of indulgence, making it feel like a true Christmas feast”

  “Really enjoyed our visit to Bar and Block with my friend. We had a great waiter who was nice, polite and friendly. It was lovely and warm inside and with very comfortable seating. The food was good, we had the steak and the sea bass. We both paid for the £10 lunch which I felt was not enough, so as you can see from the photos we both had chips and paid more. It was nice but I won’t be ordering it again as I felt it was just too light with too many onions etc. However the sauce I loved!!! The Eton mess was amazing and my friend ordered a couple cocktails they were amazing so we will be back!!”

  “Had an excellent meal at Bar + Block Portsmouth recently. The steak was cooked perfectly - nice char on the outside, tender and juicy inside. The hand-cut chips served in the cast iron skillet were crispy and well-seasoned, and the sauce had good depth of flavour. The presentation was thoughtful, particularly liked the slate board serving style. The fresh salad and asparagus were well-prepared and showed they handle vegetables as well as they do meat. Service was efficient and friendly without being overbearing. Good value for the quality you get. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between casual and refined. Solid choice for a steak dinner in Portsmouth. Would go back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”
