Southampton docks is the perfect place to enjoy the sunshine (though we can’t promise the sun will turn up; it has a life of its own…) and coastal views. Once you’ve had your dose of ‘vitamin sea’, your local Bill’s is just up the road from the waterfront and has a watertight menu of light bites, seasonal dishes, and signature cocktails. Perfect for those embarking on a day out, perhaps simply stopping by for a refuel or an impulsive visit following a spot of retail therapy at the Westquay Shopping Centre.

Nice food. Didn't like the Elderflower lemonade - flat and tasted awful. I couldn't drink it at all and ordered a different drink and they took the barely touched drink away - still charged me for it though! £4.50 for what amounted to Unpleasant Squash (i drink Elderflower cordial at home so I know how it is supposed to taste). Otherwise the food was nice, and staff were pleasant.

Amazing service for my pup’s 1st birthday celebration!! Rebekah was the most attentive and fantastic server, even going so far to bringing a doggy ice cream with candle to sing happy birthday!! I honestly couldn’t have wished for a nicer experience… all the servers were so accommodating.. we ate from the weekend brunch menu and everything was delicious… this will now become a place I can see us frequenting often ❤️

Very busy when we went, but our booking was respected without question and the service was friendly and timely. Each of us found the food ordered lived up to expectations and the bill acceptable. I can definitely recommend this restaurant for brunch.

Charming decor, good service, limited menu. My husband had the grilled sea bream, which he liked very much. It came with couscous and green beans. I ordered the fish pie which was tasty but a bit disappointing with a few shrimp, a few chunks of smoked fish and one chunk of cod; mostly mashed potatoes. I thought it would be in a crust but it was just mashed potato on top of 5-6 very small pieces of fish/shrimp..
