"The bistro was somewhat empty and as a result, it felt quite dull and lacking in atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations. The lasagna was cooked and served in the same dish, making it extremely hot. The garnish was minimal, consisting of just a few sprigs of greenery."

"I really wanted to like this place but it was just awful in so many ways. The food was pretty good, we both had a carbonara but unfortunately my partner found 2 hairs in their food, after getting halfway through my meal I noticed that both my plate and glass were filthy. My glass was dusty and also had a small hair in it and my plate had clearly not been cleaned properly. My napkin also had a random stain on it and had to be replaced. Although the food wasn't bad it also wasn't what was advertised, it was very clearly not fresh pasta and it wasn't the type that was supposed to come with the dish, instead of fresh ribbon pasta we just got standard premade spaghetti. Very unfortunate, it should have been a red flag that the place was empty on a Friday night, I definitely won't be back until they seriously review their hygiene standards."

"I've been coming to Bistro Laz and Al Parco (they share a building and also a kitchen, I believe) for as long as I can remember. Its been a family favourite restaurant for again, as long as I can remember. Every birthday, Special occasion meal, etc. We had here. I went back recently with a friend and I've got to say I was a bit embarrassed I sung their praises to him, and I think on this occasion the restaurant fell short. The food was as amazing as always, and the wait staff were very nice, friendly, and helpful. BUT, they had none of the mid level or cheaper wines in stock, and we had to buy a £70 or 80£ bottle, the bottle which admittedly was a very nice bottle was originally more and they did discount it though which was nice, but overall still annoying as we didn't expect to spend more than £30 or 40 on wine. But more annoyingly the food didn't arrive for a very, very long time. So much so that it seemed like they forgot about us. Admittedly, the restaurant was very busy when we were there, but the service speed was still, in my opinion too slow. Otherwise, Bistro Laz was great as ever. Like I said, the food was brilliant, and reasonably priced. The lamb cutlets with mash, and the large prawn starters are superb. Or if you want a great pizza order from the Al Parco menu. I'll give them 4 stars just because I love them and the food so much but they need to keep their wine in stock and either work on service speed, or keep diners informed so its clear they're not forgotten."

I booked it on the basis of reviews and was not disappointed good choice of appetizers and main on the very reasonable early booking menu, the four of us found something on it and all enjoyed mentioning the food, the calamari, since it was especially good we had also a bottle of white and red wine, both very nice and two whispering that was very nice to look back, but I was very sure to be"

"What a find! We stumbled across this pub on the way home from Marwell zoo. The staff and the customers (I assume locals) were incredibly friendly! We had a noisy 18 month old with us and everyone was so sweet with her and chatting to us. The garden is set up with some Lego and a little sandpit for children which is a lovely touch. Our food then arrived….beautiful! Really good food and the portions are huge!! We will definitely make a point of stopping by here again. What a find"

"The Blue showcases local artists and musicians, yet manages to do so in a casual manner that doesn't come across as pretentious. The staff is attentive, and the owners are the kind of people who remember your name and order after just one visit. The food is anything but typical pub fare – even their wood-fired pizzas are a cut above the rest. It's clear that the menu is crafted by individuals who truly appreciate and love high-quality food. The "lunch club" deal is incredibly affordable, and there are always delicious vegan and vegetarian options available. The wine selection is surprisingly well-thought-out, and beer enthusiasts among my friends have spoken highly of the selection. While being budget-friendly isn't necessarily a standout feature, The Blue is reasonably priced for enjoying a few drinks after work. I can't praise this place enough – it's the quintessential neighborhood gem, and the exceptional food and service make it absolutely worth a visit."
