    Love it!! Marked as closed today (Saturday) but it wasn't!…read more It's a quaint little pub in the marina side, porter potties, draft brews, and a sitting area outside consisting of hills and boulders (when the tables are full). It was a great way to spend a sunny day in Southampton. The crowd is diverse and super cool, there were families out on the hillside enjoying the sun and the marina view, there were a bunch of younger people enjoying the good weather as well. I hope I'm back soon :0)

    This bar was bumping, so many people sitting outside and at the bar and the restaurant upstairs was…read morepacked the whole time we were there. Service here isn't that great. We walk up to the host stand and are immediately told it's reservation only. "Great! I have a reservation." "Oh sorry! Head upstairs and they will take care of you." We go up a gorgeous staircase and find ourselves just standing there for a while. Someone finally comes over, confirming we have a reservation and we sit. Our server comes right away, drops two empty glasses (for water) and menus and immediately asks if we are ready. Nope, you just gave me the menu right now, I am not ready. She leaves and never comes back. She forgot about us. She apologized but it never got better. It was half an hour before we got our pints. Our appetizer came 15 min after this and our food came in another 30 min. It took an hour and 15 minutes to get a burger and chicken. Thankfully, the food was good. Oh, and those empty glasses for water, stayed empty until they finally remembered to bring us water, about 1 hour in. And before you ask, yes, I hailed other servers and asked for the water and the status of our meals. They seemed annoyed they had to pick up her slack and maybe kind of took it out on us by doing things for their tables first before ours, which I understand but still kind of sucks. Would I come back? Absolutely not. However, it's so pretty and such a cool building and the beers and food were good so I do recommend checking it out.

    We headed off to Lyndhurst on a spur-of-the-moment whim for an overnight stay at the weekend -…read morehungry after a long walk in the beautiful New Forest, we took a gamble after looking at their menu as we passed by and made a reservation for that evening. The restaurant was very busy when we walked in, a few minutes early: we were invited to take a seat while our table was made ready, which gave us a moment to look at the delicious Szechuan menu again. We were shown to a lovely table in the middle of the restaurant, up close to the wall so we didn't have people brushing past continuously, bang on our reservation time! We selected a random bottle of wine from the menu (an Italian rose) which was very nice. We elected to start with wan-tun soup and grilled dumplings, which came out piping hot and absolutely delicious. The grilled dumplings were so moorish that we could happily have tucked into another plateful! We chose crispy beef with sweet-piquant sauce and panfried squid in blackbean sauce as our mains, accompanied by steamed rice and Yung Chow fried rice (containing meat and prawns). There was a nice lull in between our starters and main dishes being served which gave us time to enjoy our wine and savour the flavours from the starters more fully. The main courses were exceptional - not only in terms of quality, but also quantity! Lovely tender strips of beef were served in a delicate sweet-peppery sauce which was the perfect companion to the Yung Chow fried rice; my partner was very pleased with his panfried squid (again, plentiful quantity) and found the blackbean sauce quite fiery, although still very tasty and not offputting at all. We found the service to be very swift and courteous - the only things we could possibly find fault with was (a) after the first pouring of wine we were left to do it ourselves (not that we minded!), (b) we left the restaurant without being bid farewell, and (c) critically - the smokers stood outside the front door of the restaurant and as it was a fairly warm evening, the door was left wide open and the smoke blew in constantly. Not nice if you are a non-smoker! The food was exceptional; I think this definitely comes into our top 3 Chinese restaurants in the UK. We will definitely return again to the Imperial China next time we are visiting the area - well worth a visit, in our opinion.

    We go to this restaurant frequently because the food is great and reasonably priced but mainly…read morebecause the service is exceptional. It is situated in the main street of Lyndhurst opposite the road leading to Cadnam. It is a short walk from the public car park. They serve Chinese and Szechwan food. There is a vast choice on the menu, and the staff will help with selections. The service is quick and efficient I think that they have all been highly trained and it shows. They also do a take away menu which seems to be popular but we haven't tried it yet.
