I went with my friend today to celebrate my birthday. The place is beautiful and the service was impeccable. Specially from Antonio( Italian) who was super friendly. Every waiter was great too. The food was AMAZING!! From the starters to the puddings. And super fast service even when the restaurant was full. We will definitely come back again!!! Many thanks for making my day very special.

Lovely but ... when and why did you stop doing those LUSCIOUS handmade, hollowed out chips? The substitutes (frozen?) are very inferior. Such a shame when the rest is so good. Bring them back and you will bring me back!

Had a very lovely dinner of fish and chips. Table had a great view over the river. Staff were friendly and we would definitely return. A highlight of our trip to Roux at Skindles was visiting the cocktail bar where the very talented and enthusiastic mixologist, Iakovos Kostantas, wowed us with the most delicious cocktails. Overall a fabulous evening.

Went for a celebratory meal on our daughters latest school report. Had a couple of cocktails upstairs and also took advantage of their cocktail happy hour. The happy hour cocktails are from a set menu and nothing is compromised on taste or quality at a great price. Also tried some of their new cocktails and these were fantastic. Our daughter had the Tangerine mocktail and it's to die for (considering there's no alcohol too) Dinner downstairs, ordering some of our favourites of snails, souffle and prawn cocktail. Opted for steak and veal for main course - all of which was well cooked. Finished with crepe suzette and a couple of glasses of port. One glass of port had a little too much sediment - spoke to the team and it was rectified straight away and in expectation of the service and standard you would expect. Fantastic evening (as always, and we go several times a year). Would I recommend - Yes Would I go again - Yes

On a miserable wet February lunchtime this was a lovely spot by the bridge. I can only imagine how great it would be in the summer. Very friendly and attentive service and we all enjoyed prawn cocktails, soup, skate, sea bream and accompanying veg and potatoes, all very accomplished cooking. And special mention for fantastic bread, don’t miss out on that. Decent value we all thought. Not cheap but you have to pay for good quality ingredients and cooking and the location so no complaints

I'm sure it isn't perfect, but that's the only way I can describe it. The food is amazing, the staff are friendly and attentive without being overly intrusive. My friend and I had the game terrine, he had fish (I think it was Pollock) and I had venison. Just gorgeous. He's a real foodie and he was impressed. This was my third or fourth visit and I love going there. If you love good food then book a table as soon as you can. Plus, if you're lucky, you might bump into M. Roux who is a lovely, friendly fella!

I wasn’t impressed with the food. It lacked attention to detail and love. The beef cheek was served with a thick fatty reduction, almost like Bovril. It would have been over served in the sauce it was braised in.

Having been a few times to the Waterside and le Gavroche (and Maidenhead’s Fat Duck and Hind’s Head) we just had to sample Skindles for our Christmas lunch. Everyone and everything were five star. Cocktails first in the cocktail bar, courtesy of Oli, on the first floor, then downstairs for our lunch. Elodie took our booking on the phone and greeted us when we arrived, then Joe and Stefano looked after us at the table, with Antonio serving me a fantastic Old Fashioned. We had to go thank head chef Ricardo as every mouthful was absolutely delicious. Having a teen daughter on hand to give us a lift there and back was the icing on the cake 😊

Overall, we had a good lunch at the Roux Skindles location. However, our main course of venison was not acceptable! Slightly tough and although we pointed this out to the staff, no one was interested in changing it or alternatively refunding, some of the cost. So it was a disappointment. Especially as I was introducing the restaurant to a good friend.

We are regular visitors to the Roux Brasseries at Skindles and we always receive a very warm reception. The quality of the food is always exceptional, the atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the service is exquisite. All the staff, from the manager to chefs and waiters are so friendly and efficient and we have always been made to feel very welcome. We went out to other side of the river last night and the Skindles Christmas lights really light up the river - so beautiful and inviting! We stepped into the upstairs cocktails bar and I ordered a glass of Champagne Cocktail; Paolo is master with the cocktails and he made it to a perfection! My husband had his favourite Skindles hot dog with wine. All very enjoyable. We feel so fortunate to have Roux Brasseries in our neighbourhood. We cannot wait to visit you again to celebrate Christmas with our friends together.

Huge let down over food. I would have expected a Michelin recommendation would go a long way. Calamari over cooked and chewy. Arincini was ok but the mushroom sauce was very thin and semi tasteful. Fish n chips were a joke… oily and burnt batter that was loaded with too much batter and oil sipping through. Atmosphere was ok and service commendable. But if you are coming here for food - expect to be let down considerably

My anniversary dinner at this restaurant was unfortunately a terrible letdown. Despite making a reservation, we were rushed through our three-course meal within an hour. When we tried to move to the bar for a drink at 8 pm, we were abruptly told it was closed, which was surprising given they claimed to be open until 9pm. We were actually chased by the manager shouting that we can finish our drink but “the business is closed” even though there were people still dining. The lack of flexibility and rushed service left a sour taste on our special occasion. The waitress was pleasant, but her apparent expectation of a higher tip than 15% left us uncomfortable. It's disheartening that this restaurant, which isn't exactly budget-friendly, seems to prioritise turnover rather than providing a relaxing dining experience. We were back at our hotel by 8:30, regretting not having just driven considering we don’t live to far away but we had booked a hotel for the occasion! This experience has left us with the impression that this restaurant might not stay in business for much longer, and it's truly sad to witness. I won't be returning here in the future. I have been here once before and wasn’t very impressed so this was a second chance. Such a shame.

Had the lobster with the brioche roll and the Sassy Rosé cider. This is obviously a high end place and not somewhere I would usually go to for food. That being said, the quality and taste were excellent, and justifies the £29 price tag. The place is pretty and the view from the balcony is gorgeous. The bartender who served us at the bar upstairs was friendly and helpful. However, the lady at the front desk not so much.

Service was impeccable, the bar knew who we were and that we had a table reserved in the restaurant from the other staff before we even got up the stairs!

As you enter the decor is very pleasing and the service is exceptional.
