Mitre — Restaurant in Southampton

It is with a heavy heart that I write this review. It is with a heavy heart and the onset of multiple medical emergencies but I have nothing better to do as I sit in a hospital bed. But since this may be my last review I may as well make it a good one. It took 6 month for my arteries to clear after eating the all day breakfast at the mitre. My hands are still unsteady so this is taking some time. My condition has left me as many would describe as barely recognisable. My memory of the event is somewhat blurred after I lost 20% brain function and my marriage. The only thing I can honestly say I got out of this meal at the mitre is the loss of my close family and an approaching death. What can I say about the food. It came with margarine. The baked beans are best described as knackered. The waitress came out and sang happy birthday to me. Needless to say it was unwelcome. I asked for gas and air behind the bar and to their credit they were quick to respond. The ambulance took no time at all and I was impressed. After they loaded me in the back they brought out the sausages which was a welcome but late edition. Against the advice of my paramedics I chowed down which in hindsight worsened my condition and possibly caused a delay in recovery by up to 3 months. Suddenly, as I realised what was happening, I looked around that the clientele and could see I was not alone in ordering the all day breakfast. I got nervous I was bottom in the queue for the ambulance. As soon as I get back on my feet I'll be...

Why take table bookings when you know you don't have 80% of the menu in stock. Such a disappointment!! My friend and I booked a table 1 week in advance being made to believe it will be very busy. I am on a particular diet and can only eat certain things. This wasn't even valid when the entire steak menu was off and the only "counting calories" meal available was a jacket potato, when served with just a mouthful of salad. When questioned, the staff replied, the steak is popular..we have very little lettuce and no onion. My reply was.. "Sainsbury's is nxt door!" The jacket potato was served with no butter and when requested we received something that was not butter but what you would find in a happy shopper tub half melted then set again. My gin was served with the tonic poured right to the top of the glass on my behalf with no confirmation and it tasted like I had a glass of tonic for £4.45 having to hook most the ice out...digging 4 the gin lol pffft. Our 1st impression a few weeks ago with a fried sharing platter brought us back on this occasion only to be very disappointed. Don't take bookings when you have no food to serve. We will be eating else...

Very nice recently updated decor makes for a light clean looking setting for a nice drink and something to eat. We went for a roast on this occasion. As nice as the place looks, the food and service upon arrival left alot to be desired. The bar staff was seemingly miserable with not a hint of a welcoming smile, a simple please or thankyou was obviously not on the menu today. I've barely begun on the food itself, I struggle to find any positive words from my extensive vocabulary to describe what they pass as food which was placed before us. The obvious microwave technician in the kitchen had somehow managed to expertly fashion the food out of rubber I can only conclude, at least this is the only likely explanation I can give as to the quality of the meal. I struggle to come up with exactly how it is quite possible to make a Yorkshire pudding quite that rubbery, microwave or no microwave. Unless in fact it was actually derived from an old boot. All in all, cheap and cheerful just doesn't quite cut it. I would personally leave those high expectations at...
