"We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant, though it's important to be mindful of your reservation time to make the most of your visit. We ordered six cocktails for £99, which came to around £15 each, and my wife and I found them to be a great value. Along with the drinks, we also received a few delightful extras, depending on our choices. No matter what you pick, you won't be disappointed. The cocktails not only offer great flavor but also a fantastic presentation. The extras enhance the overall experience rather than detract from the drinks. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they kindly reminded us about the end of our time slot so we could enjoy one last drink."

"I had a disappointing experience with the fish and chips here. The batter was bland and soggy, even though it was freshly made. Charging £5 for just a battered sausage is absurd. They also charged cod prices for hake, which seems unfair. Honestly, I've had better fish and chips from some of the least reputable places in Glasgow. The girl at the counter was quite arrogant, too. I wouldn't recommend the tartar sauce, which costs an additional £1.20; it lacked flavor and was basically just glorified mayonnaise. Anyone who thinks this place is good clearly hasn’t experienced a quality fish supper before."

"Kyoto is a special place to eat the owner is friendly and obviously very passionate about his food and happy to discuss where he sources it and the recent new finds he has made and added to the menu. This results in food with a superior quality to anything else in Winchester, although it is a little expensive. It is beautifully plated and a pleasure to eat. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys their food."

"I was here with my husband yesterday... I was very excited to come here to have breakfast because we're following the 4.5-star reviews. There are good services from the waitress. When food arrives, it looks amazing. But as soon as i have my first bite, I realize that the food is not hot and not even warm. It's not cold but I expected a hot breakfast, that's why we came to the restaurant. I can eat but not impressed and I can't finish because I don't feel enjoying my breakfast anymore. Eggs, sauce, and bread were not even warm... at least the bread is still crispy. And then, after my stomach didn't feel right because I really needed hot food in this cold weather. But my husband dish is hot like super. I didn't expect to have food at the same time with my husband. But I just wanted to have a nice hot food for breakfast in the cold weather."

"We love PPA and have been coming here as a family for a couple of years, since moving to Winchester. It has been a real shame that lockdown has prevented them from operating as usual it was great to go back tonight for a treat, just the two of us. The front of house greeting and service was superb, and we really felt welcomed. Drinks and food orders were taken quickly, and the waiter returned to check that the order received by the kitchen was correct (far better than risking getting it wrong). Wine was ice cold and served properly. Starters were very nice, although in our gluttony we ordered too much the Thai ribs are melt in the mouth tender meat, and the size of a small steak. Partner's lemongrass fish skewers were likewise lovely. We also ordered the tempura vegetables, which were divinely crispy and tasty and I ate too many...... My main course of coconut/cashew crusted chicken on top of mango salad was lovely, the crunch was great against the sharp fruity salad. Partner had sea bass loved it. Far too full to consider dessert but that was our fault entirely. I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent restaurant the fact that the waiter looked concerned at my not competely cleared plate (which was due to my aforementioned gluttony) and asked if everything had been OK just exemplifies how much the team cares about their customers. There was a kind, understanding smile offered when we pointed out we were completely stuffed, though! Tiny point to conform (I think) with govt regs re: COVID 19 the ceiling fans/air con were on full blast and it was freezing cold. Management sorted it out quickly by turning it down when we pointed out the temperature issue take a cardigan though. A really great restaurant with a really great manager and whole team. Such a pleasure to eat at PPA we will be back."
