"We were so looking forward to trying this place out for the first time tonight Friday 10th Nov. We are very disappointed. The service was lovely. The atmosphere was great. The food was rubbish, seriously overpriced for what you get. We ordered olives and scallops for starters. The olives and bread were lovely. The scallops were slightly undercooked, a bit wet if you ask me and the linguine was too wet also. We ordered the special steak. I insisted on no fat. My steak was literally just fat. My husband’s was ok, my son and I couldn’t eat more than half. It was literally riddled with fatty tumours. Seriously disgusting. The roasted tomatoes were not roasted at all. They were just warm. I don’t know. Add a bit of olive oil and leave in the oven a little longer. The chips were fine. My husband enjoyed the chocolate mousse. My and my son’ s sticky toffee was ok but the custard is warmed up in microwave. It makes it lumpy with a thin coat on top. Not great. But most importantly the table was sticky all over. Use an actual sponge with actual soap and dry with a cloth. This is the only way it won’t be sticky! We paid £150 with no wine. We had a complimentary bottle with the steak special. We won’t go again. The food was not at all the standard it should be. Maybe it was a bad day. The place was busy but this is not for us. We like gourmet food and we thought that it was what we were going to get. If you want delicious food then this place is not the one. The manager and our waitress were lovely but that just wasn’t enough. Talk to the chef and don’t serve disgusting steak specials. Parking: We were told we had to pay for parking when we got there. That should be all over the website. So you get one hour free which means you have to leave in the middle of the meal to pay. Inconvenient for everyone. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £100+ Food: 2 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chips, Mousse Au Chocolat Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options: Paid parking lot"

"I did not want to write a Tripadvisor review before firstly emailing the establishment to tell them of my experience at the King and Queen in Hamble, as I wanted to give them the chance to reply etc with what may have gone wrong for us. They did not reply. We had booked for the Sunday roast and pre-ordered beforehand. My husband and I picked the tomahawk steak roast For 2 people to share. The girl placed it down on the table, after us waiting a while for it to be cooked , which was fine. There was 1 roast potato and 4 balls of stuffing (paxo type) . The girl then bought over 2 small cold side plates and I asked her to bring larger plates , she did and they were cold so I asked for them to be warm and she then came back again with warmer larger plates, which was fine. We also had to ask for roast potatoes and they came later in a bowl, not the best. We had also ordered a side of chips , they came around 20 mins later and we refused them as was by then too late. We also had to ask for our gravy to be warmed up as this was tepid. No one came to ask if the meal was ok, but it was not acceptable, far from . There was only around 20% of the meat which was edible if that. We had to spit out most into a napkin as there as too much gristle and too chewy. We were so disappointed as had been told this was a nice place for roasts and namely pre-ordering a 'special meal ' to share between two. Whoever cut the steak must have seen it was poor before it came out. My daughter also remarked later her chicken was cold but did not like to say anything as was so hungry. When the girl came to take the plates (with most of the food left) she did not ask if everything was ok which we were surprised about. We were meeting new family members for the first time and did not feel we wanted to complain but were also shocked at the lack of compassion by the staff for all the 'wrongs ' but namely the tomahawk quality, which we paid I think £68 for! Also noted there was a substantial service charge added to the bill, which we reluctantly paid but did not feel was warranted. Its hard to make a complaint, as we did not want to ruin the day with bad feeling surrounding the meal. No one asked us though how anything was, which you 'd expect when paying a lot of money. I’d have expected to hear back from the pub with an explanation and for them to offer some good will from this but have heard nothing."

"Having been to Reggina 's before we looked forward to going again and showing the top rated restaurant off to friends. Sadly won 't be going again! The evening started off with a fairly long wait for drinks despite the restaurant not being packed. Once the drinks had arrived we then ordered. The waitress then knocked over a Gin and Tonic into my partners lap and had to replace the table cloth etc.,... strangely, no apology. We carried on and ordered our starters, mine was Garlic King prawns which I looked forward to. My order arrived as 'Scallops '. I told the waitress that she had made a mistake but she was adamant that I had ordered Scallops and tried to give me them for a second time. I told her to take them away and bring me the correct dish. This had to be cooked and arrived some time after my partner and friends had finished theirs. Still, the main course was still to look forward to.... or so we thought. I had ordered Spaghetti Carbonara something that I have had there before and liked. When it arrived it was tasteless and floating in Olive oil not the creamy cheese sauce I had anticipated. I called the waitress over and asked what it was and she said this is how the chef cooks it which is the Italian way. I had Carbonara in Italy and it has never looked like this!. I didn 't eat it as to be perfectly honest it was like having spaghetti presented in greasy washing up water!! Anyway long story short, the bill arrived. Ias ked the waitress if there was any discount because she poured the G&T over my partners to cover cleaning bill etc., expecting something like 'her dessert was complimentary ' but instead the waitress preceded to tell us about how she hadn 't charged us for my partners G&T. When looking at the receipt we clearly had been charged but she continued telling us that the G&T was free. After a while it dawned on us that she was referring to the G&T that she had poured over my partner. So I said 'you are telling us that the G&T that your poured over my partner is free? To which she said yes. By now the remaining customers in the restaurant were in fits at the explanation from the waitress. I said lets pay and go because my friends were now uncomfortable with the aggressive manner of the waitress. The other waitress (english) took the receipt away and came back with the two G&T 's removed. We paid and left... never to return!!!!! Advice, there are many restaurants out there with better service that Reggina 's offer with better value for money."
