Rick Stein Barnes in Richmond upon Thames

Service is good plus good riverview as well if you can reserve riverside tables. I am a bit disappointed with the Fish and Shellfish soup as there is no fish nor shellfish pieces inside my bowl of soup which costs over £10.00. However, taste and presentation of the soup is very nice. Hopefully, the chef can consider adding pieces of fish and shellfish into the soup to match the name of the soup. Also, the male toilet is a bit small. You have to squeeze yourself in if one tries to get out and the other person wishes to enter. As the external entrance door to the male toilet has no frosted glass, I nearly pushed the door onto the person who was standing on the other side of door. If possible, please consider to install sign or movement sensing light so that person outside the toilet can take caution that there is person at the other side of the door.

Professional yet personal service from our wonderful host who we called Stanley Tucci ! Our hostess ( Maria) was also equally as knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful experience and insight to the menu and we really had the most wonderful afternoon so thank you all .

Excellent dinner made even better by the service from Yulia. Would definitely recommend to others

Service, location and restaurant were excellent but we found the food to be average. The food is so heavily dosed in butter that it's actually sickly and difficult to digest. The flavour profiles were also very tradtitional. We often eat at good fish restaurants in London and we find their menus tastier, healthier more compelling. Rick Stein's restaurant in a classic place however and offers a lovely spot for dinner if you want very safe and traditional food.

EXCELLENT! Luca and his team were so friendly and welcoming! The food was delicious and the setting along the river was perfect, well done all!

Was a kind of last min decision to give it a go. Staff were excellent, not overbearing but attentive. The atmosphere was relaxed, tables not too close. On-site parking is a bonus! Had 6 oysters to start, followed by a crab/chilli linguine. Perfect portion size and decent heat from the chilli and plenty of crab. For main, Indonesian fish curry. Was very good. Better than expected. Desert was sticky toffee pudding, which was delightful. Perfect location right on the river watching super healthy athletic rowers passing by as I athletically devour a sticky toffee pudding. Defo recommend.

A nice place with incredible view. I enjoed food and tried few cocktails from bartender Alex at the bar. It was very tasty. I like new cocktail Last word and my friend likes Peach & Jasmine spritz. Thanks for the recommendation. This is exactly what we wanted to try. Good service and nice atmoshere.

¡Un lugar increíble! La ubicación es excelente, la comida es deliciosa y el personal es amable y profesional. Sin duda lo recomiendo!

Todo fue magnífico TODO ❤️ Personal, comida, ubicación, Muchas gracias a todo el personal de Barnes por momentos memorables

Outstanding food and very friendly staff!

Lovely place and the food selection is amazing. One thing I was a bit disappointed about was pasta vongole. It had lemon in it, which ruined the taste for me. I prefer the traditional variation without lemon. Just put lemon on the side because not everyone likes it. Also the portion of pasta was tiny. I had to order a second main because I was still hungry after the pasta. I had starters and a dessert too so it wasn’t my only dish. Just add more linguine! The amount of vongole wasn’t great either but at least add more pasta as it costs nothing. The second main I ordered was fish and chips and it was the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommended Btw it has ££ score on google maps but in fact it’s £££, it is an expensive restaurant and our bill for 3 adults was nearly £400

This place was nice and had a great view of the river, although the food didn't match the quality and the price. The only thing I could eat and enjoy was the latte and the hallomi for starter. The prawns were awfully raw and under seasoned. I have asked to have my food without cucumbers as I'm allergic, but they brought the food with the cucumber and I completely lost my appetite and was nauseous. My partner had fish and chips which he liked but the whole experience was ruined because of the cucumber and uncooked food. Overpriced as well!

Visitado por primera vez el domingo 23 de febrero, comida para dos personas para una celebración de cumpleaños reservada con una semana de antelación. El restaurante tiene un hermoso interior, las plantas, los muebles y la vista al río desde los grandes ventanales es maravillosa. Servicio amable y eficiente de todos los presentes. Tuve un hermoso lenguado Megrim, honestamente una de las mejores piezas de pescado que he comido, impresionante. ¡Y los postres! Teníamos Panna Cotta y el Sticky Toffee Pudding, ambos eran sublimes. El precio es muy razonable - de hecho, el menú admite varios pricepoints, que me parece genial. Indudablemente volveré a visitar, gracias.

Great food Great staff Good price Went there again yesterday and sll still great - even had a nice view of the river

We had dinner at Rick Stein on Friday evening and was looked after by the lovely Yulia. The food and wine were delicious and Yulia was friendly, engaging and made sure we had everything we wanted. Thank you Yulia for your brilliant service! We’ll definitely be back for breakfast soon ❤️

Me and my husband visited this restaurant for the first time for our 41 years wedding anniversary, we have been served by Manasa , she was warm , friendly , high quality of service and delicious food , we will highly recommend this restaurant

We are regulars - as such the food quality is good. Last night (21Feb), the fish and chips failed us. The outer was soggy, soft, thick. Crispness is not an art form- even a chippy shop can perfect. The rest of the food (goat cheese salad, pasta, hake etc) were good.

Went last Saturday and had 3 dishes from the set menu, absolutely delicious especially the Cullen Skink followed by chicken katsu curry and very light ginger sponge for pudding!

Absolutely delicious lunch and very attentive staff!! Would highly recommend. Easy to park during lunchtime visit as no restrictions after 11am on residential bays.

Exceptional service, delicious food, and a fantastic atmosphere! The Indonesian fish curry was superb. Convenient parking and a great location made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Great restaurant, we had seafood and the food was delicious and good quality. Service is also fast and friendly, and finally the restaurant has a view on the river with a good atmosphere 👌 highly recommend

Absolutely fabulous experience. Food was exceptional (will be dreaming about that tuna!), service was utterly above and beyond. All the Rick Stein restaurants are incredible - we have visited for 20+ years for all family celebrations and always have wonderful experience. Can’t rate highly enough.

Have eaten here many many times, service was lovely a always , but food disappointing , 5 dishes ordered , 1 didn’t turn up when it did it was cold , scallops which I order every time I eat here were so over cooked like bullets and returned . Wine arrived warm . Not there usual amazing food or wine this time and 165.00 lunch very below there usual standard .

Very nice restaurant and very friendly staff, I had a good time, I recommend, especially to try cocktails from the Ukrainian bartender Alex , she makes incredibly delicious cocktails

We had a truly wonderful experience at Rick Stein, Barnes, and it was made even more special by the exceptional service from Manasa. She was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable evening. The highlight was when she surprised us with a cake after learning it was my wife’s birthday, a thoughtful gesture that made our celebration even more special. The food was absolutely fantastic. For starters, we had the scallops and grilled sardines, both cooked to perfection and bursting with fresh flavors. For mains, we enjoyed the grilled sea bass, which was beautifully prepared, and the Indonesian seafood curry, which was rich, aromatic, and full of delicious seafood. Every dish was a delight! With an elegant ambiance, outstanding food, and warm hospitality, this was a truly unforgettable dining experience. We’ll definitely be back soon!

This restaurant has a very good location along the Thames River. Visitors can enjoy a very pleasant lunch or dinner sitting by the window. Seating on the main floor is also cozy. Tuesday is a jazz night. We had a wonderful dinner with a very nice live jazz performance. Good food at good price. Servers are exceptionally friendly who make us feel like at home. We would be eager to recommend this restaurant to our friends. Good job 👍 Please keep up with this high quality.

Everything there is just perfect 🤩

I don’t know what to say we been there on 02/02/2025 with my wife at 5 we ordered our starter and the main and I mentioned to the waitress that my wife she is allergic to cucumber and she doesn’t want any cucumber in my food or her. As even smell of the cucumber makes her sick. We had our starter that was goat cheese and halloumi cheese which was nice. But from the time they bringed the main to table i think they put extra cucumber as well of the main dish as i told them she would get sick with it. I had my fish and chips that even me i fill sick now. I think they really need to pay attention to people's allergies and don't ruin the night that I spend 110£ just for nothing. She didnt even touch the 2 main dishes that she ordered. And we just left after paying the bill. Please respect customers more and if they ask for something pay attention to it. I think you need to ask you managers to speek with the costumers when they haveany problem not to just stay behind the bar and say goodbye. Please please respect the customers and pay more attention.

Shared an amazing meal with my husband and friends. The service was exemplary, thanks to Tara. I would definitely be dining here again. If they still have it on the menu, and you still have room, I suggest you get the sticky toffee pudding. Do you want a lovely view across the river, which I suggest you do in order to catch the sunset, then definitely reserve early. Enjoy.

Amazing place for the weekend dinner with friends. Tara and Momo were great serving us the best quality food and the Indonesian seafood curry was one of the best I ever tasted! Ginnaro is helpful and very supportive, great atmosphere and sea view, sea food choice indeed is stunning! Wonderful place!

It was so delicious seafood curry. The location is perfect with a nice river view. Stuff is friendly. Thanks a lot, Gennaro, Tara, Mo, and Julia for having us.

It was an amazing lunch. Indonesian seafood curry was perfect 👌. Thank you for the team, special for Julia, Tara, Momo, Ginnaro, Gabor 🫶🫶🫶

Amazing food. Tara and Momo were great to serve. Very friendly and helpful Ginaro. Thank you for a lovely atmosphere

I had a wonderful time, the curry was outstanding and such fresh oysters. Great service.

Set priced supper was so v v good. Expertly cooked.

The dover sole was divine, very friendly staff which created an appealing ambience. Tara recommended a delightful wine.

Amazing Service & Organisation – Perfect Family Lunch! Thank you so much for your service. We had an absolutely fantastic time at Rick Stein for our family event at lunchtime. The service was top-notch, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team looking after us. Gennaro and Adnana were brilliant—friendly, professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly. A special shoutout to Luca, the General Manager, whose exceptional organisation skills made the whole experience stress-free. Everything was handled perfectly, from the timing of the food to the overall atmosphere. Great food, great value, and even better service—we’ll definitely be back! Thank you 🙌

12/1/2025-Sunday. This will be our 3rd Rick Stein Restaurant we has been. We frequent to the one at Sandbank. The other one was at Padstow. We loves all the 3 branches. The standard of service is excellent. Food is delicious, well present. The waitress & waters were very polite & attentive. We love the embient of the restaurant at the Branes. Especially the seating is looking out to The River Thames. We'll be back soon. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Comida deliciosa, gran posición junto al río, pero: un poco frío servicio en funcionamiento, y por qué estirarse a través de un comensal cuando los artículos podrían haberse colocado/retirado de la derecha bastante espera entre recibir la red y recibir los acompañamientos haciendo que la red sufra Pero no tanto como uno hubiera esperado de este nombre. Aun así volvería otra vez

Lovely food, Alice was great, such lovely service, we had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary

Rick Stein es un hombre admirable y cuando empezó este era un gran restaurante (lo tomó del Depot hace todos esos años). Pero ha bajado cuesta abajo a bastante velocidad ahora que sus hijos lo manejan - y hoy en día el outlet Barnes tiene toda la calidad de estafa que esperas de tantos restaurantes de Londres en estos días. El curry de marisco solía ser una de las estrellas de este lugar y también solía haber un maravilloso plato de cangrejo asiático que era un desastre para comer pero absolutamente delicioso. Pero no más. Tuvimos el curry recientemente y era absolutamente promedio. Y mi esposa todavía no puede superar una ocasión cuando le pidió al camarero una copa de vino blanco y llegó a £ 17. 50 . El servicio siempre se estira aquí en mi experiencia. Mejores experiencias locales en Sam's Riverside y el Chelsea Ivy.

This was a casual night out for me and my husband. We have been before and had a good experience. This was not so good. Wrong drink was brought to the table for me at the beginning. I ordered scallops and at £25 was expecting something great. As another reviewer has mentioned they were tiny and very unremarkable and they were....The smallest I have ever had. Wish I had seen their review before we went.My husband had the pasta alle vongole. Lots of empty shells and several closed. I had seabass which was well cooked on a bed of spinach with a small quantity of a rather watery butter sauce. A bowl of potatoes came but lukewarm. All together a rather disappointing meal. Location is great but for what we paid I expected more

We have been here before and the food has been decent but lunch today was terribly poor. We opted for the set menu as the dishes looked good but with hindsight perhaps sticking to the main menu would have been better. The goats cheese , in breadcrumbs, on the salad seemed mass produced and the salad had no dressing, the Cullen skink had absolutely no flavour and was a weak and watery consistency. We both ordered coley in a veloute sauce, this was such a disjointed combination of flavours - large chunks of apple, no discerneable taste of the promised pink peppercorns and the veloute was far from the smooth, silky sauce it should be as again it was thin, watery and lacking in flavour, the fish itself was tough and chewy. The location by the riverside is lovely but in no way makes up for such poor quality food.

We couldn’t have been treated any better! The window view we were offered was really appreciated. The food ( really it goes without saying) was absolutely delicious!!!! The staff were so friendly but not in your face. It was a perfect way to celebrate a special occasion. Just perfect- thank you to everyone for making our lunch such a lovely experience.

Stunning views, lovely brunch and excellent cappucinos

It was my birthday, we had reservation. We arrived at 5 pm . The host first( blonde guy) was not smily or happy or anything positive didn’t meet us properly 😂. He gave us the worst table next to “station” we were with a toddler and requested quiet table preferably with a view (by the time we left nobody was sitting there) I asked to change table after we were sited as too many people was walking around us. and the another host who was really nice moved us to the nicer table ( not with view but better and quieter) which is much appreciated(I don’t remember name sorry). Food was really delicious. We could not stay for dessert as we had this table till 7 . Usually before leaving the restaurant offers complimentary dessert with candle or something.which would have been nice, not because we wanted free sweet just for the candle or recognition for my birthday (we paid over £200.) Overall this is a nice restaurant with nice food but service has to improve. It is not hard to allocate tables so everyone can be happy( when definitely you have plenty of room) and it is not hard to smile when guests are arriving. Thanks

My wife took her elderly mother for breakfast.Ordered full English.When it arrived no black pudding and was a very small sausage, asked waitress and she just said oh i think we we ran out, charged the same and not offered an alternative, ordered skinny cappuccino then told only had full fat milk, eggs were over done and toast I think was stale bread , very disappointed have been to restaurant Before but won't be back

An Evening meal with my family to celebrate one of my sons birthdays We were served by a charming attentive young lady called Manasa . A great experience.

My wife took her elderly mother for breakfast this morning.The full English was not complete and yet a full price was charged.Also they had no skimmed or semi-skimmed milk for a coffee only full fat.Thete was no money taken off the bill but the staff were apologetic. This is not really good enough for a restaurant of this reputation and we will not be returning.

Very good helpings and a good experience. We had dinner but their lunch with the amazing view would be amazing

Gennaro our waiter made our experience particularly special.

to charge such premium pricing, the restaurant needs to take better attention to the waiting staff's quality. She didn't have any knowledge of the festive showcase menu, unable to pronounce the names of the drinks that we could understand, being pretty much disturbant and pushy, we couldnt have a peaceful talks during the dinnner. She even asked me to help her clearing up the dirty dishes on the table because she didnt want to move around or come back the 2nd time to clear. Food wise, the festive menu which was supposed to show case the chef ability, was underwhelming, to say the least. My grilled hake was not fresh and pathetically overdone. The soufle was bland and uninteresting.

Lovely restaurant, great atmosphere, very cosy. Food was bad. Not terrible, but bad. The starters were served (accidentally) cold and we're pretty flavourless. The mains were ok - the kind of quality you expect from a Harvester. Dessert was tasty. Service was pretty good - attentive but not overly so.

We were on holiday from New Zealand and love Rick Stein recipes so we decided to go to Rick Stein Barnes while we were in London. It was a big disappointment. We turned up early for our booking because we had been in the area, and when we got to the door and told the waiter our name, he found the booking on his computer and then said “You’re early” in a very grumpy voice. We volunteered to wait at the bar, so we sat and were putting our coats on a rack when a waiter told us not to put them there, again, rudely. A different waiter explained that we could put our coats on a rack by our seats when a table was ready, but did not suggest what to do with them in the mean time. We sat at the bar and decided what to have, but we were ignored by the bar staff for several minutes afterwards before they asked us what we would like. Eventually the waiter came back and told us that our table was ready, so we sat down and ordered. The food was mediocre and the service was terrible- the waitress slapped our food down with a grunt. The toilets were also dirty. We would not recommend this restaurant- we were really looking forward to a nice meal but it was expensive and bland, and the service was awful.

Top class service excellent food and a brilliant atmosphere. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves good food .One very happy customer.

Thank you for a wonderful dining experience, as always! Scallops cooked to perfection and the sea bass was absolutely delicious. The service was impeccable. It’s always a treat to dine at your restaurant.

Atmosphere great and lovely views of river Service was flawless However my Scallop starter was super disappointing-over cooked and rubbery! Curry was lovely though

Had the fish and chips and couldn’t believe how soggy it was and not crispy at all. To the staff’s credit they removed from the bill at the end but still I was surprised that this place could not get a classic dish right. Even when I asked for vinegar they brought it in a cup that was impossible to apply in drips like you would do with vinegar. This is a salt and vinegar UK-based recipe and they didn’t score highly at all. On the plus side, bread was good and made on premise, beer was nice as were olives. Disappointment overall though.

♥️ I just loved this place! The curried mussels was the stand out dish for me but equally the salad was perfect 👌🏼 and the seafood pasta was delightful too! Sitting with the view of the Thames all makes for a relaxing meal! Thank you for a really enjoyable afternoon

Food was really great, drinks were ok, one member of the waiting staff was very lovely. The rest weren’t particularly kind or friendly.

Lovely restaurant in a great location by the River Thames. Service attentive, food delicious. Very good value.

I had booked this as a special occasion, my partner is a long time fan of Rick’s cooking shows and we were in London from Aus close to his birthday. Unfortunately it was quite average - some of the dishes were great (soufflé and the seafood soup) some good to average (curry and the fish I had for main) but 1 was quite below par (which was unfortunately the fish my partner had). As well as this, the restaurant was cold in temperature and ambience, you could tell they were trying to have some ambience with a live singer but it just didn’t quite work. All up I would call this good but not great, but the price tag deemed that it should have been exceptional (Equivalent to $550 aud for 3 people)

More often hit than miss so the rating.

This was a fantastic lunch experience the staff was brilliant the food was excellent I recommend the set menu for £29.95. I had Piri piri sardines for starters salt coley and chickpea stew for main and panna cotta for dessert all beautifully presented and delicious. I had two coca cola's and a Espresso priced well for this kind of restaurant. Thank you kindly I will see you soon.

Feels like a bit of a gimmick. Service was very poor and oysters made one of the party sick. Waiter didn’t have a clue about any of the wines or the dishes. A different person took the order, served the drinks, served the food, took the desert order and brought the cheque. Very very poor. Food was bang average and it is very expensive. @rick sort it out mate

Great food and service. The view to the river is fantastic, see the photo that I took when we were there!

Precioso restaurante con fabulosas vistas al río. Pide una mesa con vistas al río. El menú es muy buena relación calidad-precio y cocinado por expertos. Buen servicio. Sin quejas

My wife and I are Austraian and we had taken our 92yo cousin and a friend for lunch, this is the third time over the past years we have celebrated birthdays there. As expected we were not disappointed, the atmosphere and food were excellent, however, the highlight of our lunch was the waitress, sadly I did not get her name but I recall she was from Rumania, she was extremely professional ,charming and a delight, my elderly guests were so impressed by her wonderful service. My background is hospitalty industry consulting and I would be extremely happy if my students conducted themselves as this youg lady, please pass our thanks to her. Regards Peter Watkins and Julie Jongebloed.

Really nice food, the simple dishes are so well done, and the service was first rate and relaxed for a lunchtime. Try and get a River view seat if you can. Hake was amazing and the Sticky Toffee Pudding made you want to lick the plate.

Beautiful atmosphere Staff are so kind and welcoming to group of 8 of us Food was delicious 10/10 would highly recommend!

£40 monkfish wrapped in serrano ham, which totally overpowered the fish. Perhaps a victim of the hype, but I expected better.

Como Rick Stein tiene su nombre por encima de la puerta, le sugiero que visite sus restaurantes más a menudo. Los precios son caros por término medio, cocinar por números, pequeñas comidas en porciones. El servicio era terriblemente lento , un martes a la hora del almuerzo, restaurante vacío y esperó más de una hora para empezar. Personal perfectamente agradable pero sin urgencia. Al menos a medida que la Hiedra se ha desplegado, han mantenido la calidad Esto es muy peatonal, necesita un poco de TLC. Después de haber tenido algunas comidas maravillosas en el restaurante de mariscos en Padstow - esto no es digno de nombre Ricks. La misma queja sobre la comida en la sucursal de los bancos de arena también. Necesita atención

Unfortunately we booked late due to my son's work commitments so we arrived at the restaurant when it was already dark and we couldn't enjoy the view of the river. On the other hand, we enjoyed some truly exciting fish dishes. To accompany even the simple “amuse bouche” with salted butter and olives, we are served a fresh Sauvignon Bauduc. my son chooses the linguine with crab meat, while I choose the scallops with ginger. Then for my son a Turbot (Turb) with Hollandaise sauce and I a Monkfish (Monkfish) wrapped in Serrano ham on a bed of sauerkraut and accompanied by potatoes boiled in butter. I must say that it may seem like a rather strange combination but it is absolutely spot on. We conclude with espresso coffee and two Armagnacs. The expense was quite high: £230.11.

Purtroppo abbiamo prenotato tardi a causa degli impegni di lavoro di mio figlio per cui siamo arrivati al ristorante quando ormai era buio e non abbiamo potuto godere della vista sul fiume. In compenso abbiamo gustato dei piatti di pesce veramente entusiasmanti. Per accompagnare anche il semplice “amuse bouche” con burro salato e olive, ci viene servito un fresco Sauvignon Bauduc. mio figlio sceglie le Linguine con polpa di granchio, io invece le Capesante con ginger. Poi per mio figlio un Turbot (Rombo) con salsa olandese ed io un Monkfish (Coda di rospo) avvolto nel prosciutto Serrano su un letto di crauti e accompagnamento di patate lesse al burro. Devo dire che può sembrare un abbinamento piuttosto strano ma invece assolutamente azzeccato. Concludiamo con caffè espresso e due Armagnac. La spesa è stata piuttosto salata: 230,11 £.

It’s been some time since I eat at your restaurant,due to very not having food I would expect at top price restaurant. However went on the 24/9/2024 and excellent.And decided to celebrate my birthday on 19/10/2024.and was very disappointed by the presentation of two dishes we had on the 24/9/2024. It looked like the food the food was just thrown on the plate in rush And my same dish I had on the 24/9/2024 was not good. Very disappointing and we were party of four and the bill was expensive which my son paid for. Can’t understand why you as restaurant can’t be consistent on presentation. Barnes resident and would love to make you my restaurant to go too. But your suppose to be top restaurant, However let down with not been consistent and that’s shame

We visited during a day mid-week. A pleasant atmosphere with Thames views, delicious sea-food and quick service.

Great fish restaurant on the river.

Very good food , lovely location with river, excellent staff! Thank you for all chefs and all Floor staff

One word to describe this place: quality.

Superb fresh fish. Attentive staff.

It's a beautiful restaurant, one minus point for the Ribeye (i know it's a seafood restaurant) .. the Ribeye i wasn't impressed at all. Halloumi were the best I had. The service was very good, our waitress was helpful, patient and sweet personality. Thank you

2nd visit and the oysters and lobster were amazing this time and last time!! Tara works above and beyond! Thank u

consistently, and annoyingly Excellent. Makes it look easy… 10/10. Always

Fuimos al club de la cena. Es fantástica relación calidad-precio - a £ 65 por persona incluye una fabulosa comida de 3 platos con maridaje de vinos y Luce es muy generoso con sus medidas! Es una gran manera de conocer gente nueva en un hermoso entorno justo en el Támesis. Realmente debes ir - no la ropa nueva del emperador - comida hermosa a precios inflados. Recomiendo a fondo.

Cuando el nombre por encima de la puerta lleva el nombre de Rick Stein hay una gran responsabilidad de entrega a los estándares establecidos por este héroe de la comida y tesoro nacional. En el momento en que llegas y eres recibido por el educado equipo profesional y eficiente dirigido por Luca un maestro de poseer el comedor y orgulloso de cuidar a sus invitados , estás en muy buenas manos. Un encantador comedor con vistas al río es el lugar para disfrutar de mariscos cocinados en hueso que no se me ocurre en ningún lugar mejor con la lanzadera cornish para entregar pescado fresco del más alto calibre a la puerta para que todos los devoremos. Felicitaciones tuvimos una comida maravillosa y esperamos nuestra próxima visita que será el almuerzo para que podamos maravillarnos con la vista al río. Gracias.

Hi We went to the restaurant today for my fathers special birthday We had amazing service and fantastic food. The manager Luca cigliano was so attentive and friendly my parents totally enjoyed their experience at the restaurant and just how pleasant and friendly all the staff were. I will certainly be returning for many more meals.

We've been there many times. Nice location with a great view of the Thames. The staff is very professional and attentive. The good is just perfect in term of quality and quantity.

An actual experience. This isn’t normal. The scallops made me rethink things. Made look at real estate near the coast. I bought one of those big yellow fisherman jackets. Honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had.

The food was sensational with friendly knowledgeable staff . Can’t wait to go back .

Good fish, nice walk on the river

This was a very good, and rather expensive, meal. Everything was competently executed, but overall it lacked the 'wow factor' one might have hoped for (whence the absence of a fifth star). As an appetiser the two of us shared some padron peppers. These were slightly more peppery than expected, but that may have been a question of seasoning as opposed to intrinsically hotter padrons. Anyway, this made them more enjoyable than the norm. The stems of padron peppers are mostly not really edible, so it would have been better not to have had to ask for plates on which to dispose of them. For starters proper, the seared tuna guacamole was excellent. Fish and seafood soup with rouille and croutons is always lovely, but I found this one slightly disappointing because it had been so heavily reduced as to contain none of the solid shellfish treats one is often delighted to find. My son copped out with a ribeye steak and chips. He said it was very good, but he also remarked that none of the fish dishes had really appealed to him. From memory, the fish alternatives were something like cod, hake and Lobster Thermidor - as well as what I chose. I went for the tronçon of turbot with Hollandaise. I read somewhere that Rick Stein himself would choose this for his last meal. I probably wouldn't, but it was very good nonetheless. A tronçon is essentially a steak of the fish on the bone. Having eventually cracked the secret of handling the bones, my one wish would have been for a slightly larger tronçon. A plus point was that the (necessary) boiled potatoes come automatically. This kind of thing should be more common in my view. For dessert, we shared a strawberry sorbet with chantilly and a semifreddo with fruit compôte. This turned out to be a good call. We both felt that either alone might have proved underwhelming, but that half of both made for a genuinely satisfying dessert. The espressos came after the desserts, which I applaud. Even though we had asked for doubles, they seemed very small and were only charged as singles. The service was courteous and friendly. The Rueda Verdejo wine was lovely. We would both choose it again.

Been meaning to visit for ages. We had the set menu which was excellent value for money and exceeded expectations

Had a lovely lunch, service and food were amazing in a lovely setting. Asked for a table by the window when I booked online which we got and the dessert had a happy anniversary message on it which was a lovely touch

Having had several enjoyable meals at this restaurant, we returned after a 6 month break. We were with friends who have often spoken highly about the RS Cornish experience. The meal we ordered was very straightforward - Scallops followed by lobster main courses. The scallops were literally minute ( 5p piece size ) and they were floating in a flavoured broth that simply overwhelmed the scallops. Having watched RS on TV travelling around France enjoying excellent seafood, we were suprised at such miserable and mediocre servings. However, the lobster expectations were still riding high. Enter - impressive shells and claws BUT a miserable amount of soapy, slushy lobster flesh and claws that were swimming in water and as floppy as suet. I don't know what has happened but this was a very underwhelming and disappointing evening. If the food had been up to scratch, I do not think the menu prices are excessive and the service was adequate and polite. Will we go back ? not with friends - until we have re-tested it ourselves as it is embarrassing to disappoint others with a recommendation.

Smiling and welcoming staff and delicious food - the set menu is incredible value for such high quality food. Great experience

Avelino & waleed was so friendly and very accommodating. The food was perfect but this time they don’t have the lobster which my husband get a bit disappointed. But overall the experience was brilliant.

Great lunch, staff were really friendly and helped move us to a window table. Relaxed atmosphere, great food and a perfect anniversary lunch

Terrible service as when I showed the waitress the Indonesian curry which had an insect she was not bothered and no apology. Was there for a bus is lunch so did not make a fuss but this is unacceptable and I am happy to speak to anyone 9if they are bothered.

* Amendment to previous review: Dined here for the 2nd time in a month and a very different experience! Food as before, was sublime and the setting and interior are all fabulous. I had the Cornish Lobster, which was enormous and cheap by most restaurant prices and I can't recommend highly enough. Wine is well sourced and well priced and delicious and the set menu is a steal. However, I'm sorry to say, unlike my review below, lunch was marred by our server. I cannot fault her efficiency and our dishes were all served promptly as were the clearing of our plates. But her attitude was questionable - she seemed surly, impatient and I felt couldn't wait for us to leave. Several times I asked her a question or tried to engage her in conversation and each time, she ignored me or walked away. My impression was she couldn't care less about us and had no intention of forming any kind of rapport. I would have refused to pay the service charge, but my friend - who is somewhat kinder than me! - demurred. This is a completely different experience from my other visits where the staff have been wonderful, hospitable and friendly and can turn an ordinary lunch into something quite special. This woman may have been having a day off, but that is no excuse in a restaurant of this calibre and I left feeling quite disappointed and unsure whether I'll return (we dined at 1pm on 21/8). 12/7/24 We had exceedingly high expectations before lunch yesterday, which I'm delighted to say, were met on every level! Beautiful, understated interior and seated by a river window, it felt like we were in a different country. The service and professionism of the staff were flawless (similar as you would find in a Central London 5* hotel). Delicious food, generous portions and the set menu great value for money. Friendly, comfortable atmosphere, so much so, lunch ended at 5pm! *Special mention for the lovely manager who showed me to our table and offered me a coffee, despite the fact I was very early and they were still doing their pre-lunch prep. Thank you for accommodating me 😊*

Fantastic location and atmosphere. The appetizer and the lobster was amazing and worth the price. I was disappointed by the tomato salad.
