   We came here for a birthday lunch by the river and were pleasantly surprised! The setting was beautiful with lovely views, perfect for a relaxed afternoon. The food really impressed us, especially the poke bowls, which were fresh and flavorful. Service was a little slow at times, but the staff were friendly and we appreciated the cute little birthday dessert they brought out to share. All in all, a lovely spot for a special occasion.

   The bonanza breakfast was good and big but pricey. 2 breakfasts with tea came to £40. The featured sausage was ok, nothing special. The fried eggs were very good, as was the mushroom. The rest was fine. We had a table by the full length window overlooking the outside tables and the Thames. This is what pushes it up to 4 stars. The interior is nicely decorated.

   The food was WOW! Especially the white creamy mussels, Oh my God, it was delicious! We were sitting on the terrace, enjoying the river view while sipping our rose. Friendly service. Will return here one day!

   We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary and couldn’t have picked a better place for the experience that we wanted: fantastic food, lovely views of the river enjoying the weather and superb staff and service. They even surprised us with a celebratory dessert. The staff also went out of their way to accommodate us outside. We had a few staff members rotate through our meal and every single one was attentive and personable. Thank you for a wonderful memory!

   Boooooom! Service, food, location… 5 star all the way! Immediately after a lovely morning cruise, and the brain calories burnt along the way in speed using a knots system, then immediately off the boat and straight into this fabulous riverside restaurant that enables dine al fresco with a shade, to avoid getting burnt! The food was absolutely amazing and service was exceptionally warming and welcoming at the same time!

   A Lovely Bistro We have been fans of the chef since he opened 5 years ago. With this re-launch of the popular restaurant we see a new menu, and a new decor. But the same outstanding cooking. We started with a 3-way starter: we shared the smoked salmon, the burratta salad and the oysters. ALL were fine - the burratta and oysters were even better. My main was a rib-eye which was cooked perfectly. For deserts my wife had a HUGE creme brulee and I had a chocolate/banana dish -finished off with an excellent Expresesso Martini (one of the best I've had here). All in all, a wonderful dinner at a fine restaurant. We had a great welcome, a nice bottle of wine and a fine meal. We SHALL return!

   Service and location are exceptional, service fairly formal. Food technically excellent with some interesting flavour combinations and unexpected textures. For me though the food lacked an 'edge' to set it apart, still perfectly acceptable as was the bill for this very well run restaurant.

   Fine dining. Cozy, smart restaurant. Lovely decor. Good service. Amazing food and service. Images show our choices for the evening. We visited 16 March 2018 in blizzard weather. Staff were excellent and attentive. We had good conversation with the owner/chef, Shaun. Loved to hear his passion for food and dining.
