Fabulous lunch. Cote de boeuf not on the menu but owners got in especially. Cooked to perfection. Service is always friendly and welcoming. A really wonderful experience guaranteed every time.

We chose to eat here based on a previous visit. The Wine Circle offers a no-frills atmosphere but has a certain class, which is strangely reminiscent of visiting a family home. The staff are exceptionally friendly and have a great sense of humour. The food exceeded all expectations and was beautifully cooked. I remarked to the host that you would not find better food anywhere! We both chose the duck and vegetables. The way that the roast vegetables are prepared and served here is exactly the way I aspire to cook mine at home. We chose the (very generous) cheeseboard for dessert which offered a large selection of different cheeses; it was also superb.

Four of us came for dinner here between Christmas and New Year. We had a lovely evening and a very nice meal. The staff were very knowledgeable and attentive. A couple of the dishes were unavailable which was a shame, but we were all very pleased with the items we chose as they were very well cooked, nicely presented and tasty. The wine was very good quality. The ambience of the restaurant was a little strange as there were so few people there, but it was beautifully decorated and the colour coordination of the Christmas tree and other decorations was lovely . We will definitely be returning

I recently visited the wine circle in Virginia water. I was extremely disappointed with the ambience and the lack of customer service delivered. The staff were uninterested, unapproachable and were merely tolerating my presence. I felt that the lady serving my drink (I think she was the manager) was not interested in my custom or my being there. The wine itself was reasonable, but significantly overpriced for a 175ml house wine. I wasn’t even acknowledged or thanked when the bill was paid. Merely reminded that they do not accept Amex. I won’t be revisiting which is a shame, as I am new to the area and hoped to find a local gem that I could share with my friends. What is deeply frustrating is that I doubt this review will affect or change their approach. Their arrogance and dismissive behaviour will mean that this review will not even be given the time of day.

Fantastic food and friendly service. I can recommend this place for breakfast (you won't need lunch if you opt for the full English breakfast - very filling) and dinner (flavours in abundance). The wine is exceptionally good quality and reasonably priced. My recommendation though is to book in advance or you might not get in!

Absolutely horrific experience, avoid at all costs. I can't echo enough the below reviews. This restaurant needs to update it's miserable, bitter waiting staff and replace them with some young, friendly, and dynamic people. As a country haven’t, we been through enough without having to endure such unkind, and unwelcoming behaviour. The owners were no better, so ill mannered. One would hope at their age they would know better. I have heard from many locals that they are rude. If you don’t fit the “bill” of the type of customer they want, then they will absolutely make it known to you. This restaurant/wine bar (whatever it is claiming to be) is not inclusive, it's narrow minded and bigoted. judging by below reviews, and my personal experience they need to put a sign on the door saying …. "white, middle-class, wealthy. over 50's only welcome here" It would save a lot of heartache for the many willing customers, that they make feel so desperately unwelcome. Wine Circle - If you are reading this, please accept these comments as constructive criticism. When you shake your head at a person and make them feel so unwelcome you really don’t know how your actions can affect a customer’s day, you don’t know what people are going through. In a world where you can be anything, please be kind, no matter who it may be. It would be worth also relaying this to your older waiting staff. There are far better (kinder) ways to deal with people. Avoid, avoid, avoid …. Unless of course you fit the criteria.

We hadn't visit The Wine Circle for a while, so took our (adult) kids and mother-in-law for lunch. 5 stars all the way! The hosts are lovely and welcoming and drinks were brought quickly. The menu is to die for - there is something for everyone. The sizzling prawns were popular and delicious. I had mushrooms - although top notch. My main of lamb cutlets was a show stopper. The wine list is fairly brief but interesting and very well chosen. There is also a set menu which was good value. We had some set menus and some a la carte. All in all, thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended!

Never again will I visit! From the moment we walked through the door, we felt we weren’t welcome. No usual staff greetings such as " hello" "can I help" or even a smile. Just a " sit here". We brought three under 3s who weren’t any more disruptive then most. We noticed a lot of eye rolling and stern looks our way from one particular waitress, who most certainly is in the wrong job! This particular member of staff continued to carry out this rude behaviour throughout our lunch. Constantly telling my nephew to shhh shhh shhhh, taking plates away before we’d finished etc etc. The whole experience was just dreadful, we all felt we were a nuisance, and couldn’t wait to eat and leave!!

I really wanted to give the restaurant 5 stars and up until dessert, I would have done so. The restaurant interior is dated and could do with some updated furnishings but the quality of the food makes up for it. Everything we had was lovely. Unfortunately, the speed of the service really let them down. We had to ask for the check 3 times in a span of 30 minutes and finally had to get up and approach the counter in order to pay. I hope this was an off day for them but, I will hesitate to return in future. Such a shame.

We popped into The Wine Circle on Saturday for lunch. It was good to see the main entrance area had been updated to showcase the various wines and champagnes they sell - it gave a good first impression. The area where you eat could do with an update - the decor is tired looking. However, the professionalism, friendliness, and helpfulness of our waitress made up for that. She couldn't do enough to ensure we could find something vegan to eat. I ended up with a basic salad with avocado. They also made a dish, from their old menu for my mum which she appreciated. I would have given a higher rating had there been vegan options on the menu.

My reservation was for celebrating the birthday of an old and dear friend. The staff welcomed us in and seated us with care. After this was done the service slowed down and we had to wait a while to place our food order. The food, when it came to the table, was average and therefore somewhat disappointing. The lack of soft furnishings meant the noise level was quite considerable, so much so that holding a conversation comfortably was next to impossible. I had dined at The Wine Circle some years ago and liked it quite a lot. The experience this time was not good and as said, rather disappointing. Sadly, I doubt that I shall be returning.

I was on my own and wanted a nice meal I was not disappointed. The owner was very friendly and the staff attentive. The food and wine were well worth the visit. I'll definitely be going again.

I've loved the Wine Circle since it was Cafe Blu in Windsor and then here in VWater!! They have just moved from strength to strength and I am very happy that I live so near when I am back in the UK!

We live in Virginia water and the Wine Circle has never failed to impress us. Food is delicious,service is always very attentive and the wine list is great. Elegant and relax ed atmosphere.

Truly a Michelin star restaurant. One of the best I've been to. A 10/10 experience all around. Hats off to Alex Payne and his team.

So bad, it was deserving of my first ever review in 30 years (I'm 30). Please take into account I have never complained about service before in my life, so I will try to give a fair and balanced review. We came on the 24th November at 2pm for a Christmas roast. Firstly, the atmosphere was pleasant and staff were polite. Secondly, they did remove the cost for one of the meals due to it's abysmal quality, I thought it was a joke at first (as seen in the picture). They also removed the service charge after we asked for it to be removed due to poor service, which I will give them credit for. However... We waited for over 30 minutes upon arriving and was not offered food or drinks. We had to ask the staff, not once, but twice, until they came over to take our order. The food came in reasonable time when ordered, however, some meals were either lukewarm or cold. The quality and quantity of the food was shocking (plus one meal missing a Yorkshire pudding). We was given 5 roast potatoes between 3 people. With a very small handful of vegetables. When we asked for more, this took over 15 to 20 minutes to arrive. In summary, I have quite low standards when it comes to restaurants, however even for me, this was an absolutely terrible experience and would not return. Update Following Oliver's comment; If you look at Oliver's replies on Google and Tripadvisor he gives very generic responses and doesn't state how he intends to fix problems, work on feedback or even apologise for said problems. The majority of the time, he tries to deflect or blame the reviewer and doesn't take criticism well. Which sounds 'Distasteful' to me, much like the food. Detecting an ego or complex from him. If I wanted to be insulted I would have gone to Karen's Diner, which would have still been an upgrade. If you're local or visiting the area, please check out; 'The Barley Mow' or 'The Red Lion', if you want a lovely experience.. Or perhaps a local prison which I'm sure serves higher quality food. P.S. They even charged my friend twice for her ...'meal', a rather distasteful experience overall.
