Vall de Cavall in Windsor and Maidenhead

A fantastic visit, after the Ascot Fireworks show of Nov 2023. The team were very busy but provided excellent service, especially Murillo. The bar staff were phenomenal, the waiting staff friendly and attentive. A true credit to Ascot The food is good but to be tasted, high expectations- I’m sure it will be a delight

I’ve given a 3 because the food was fantastic but the service was appalling. Received 3 extra dishes at separate times which were other peoples dishes, had plates cleared up by a non speaking waitress when we were just about to order more food. Drinks were slow on second round too. The noise was uncomfortable as lots of unsavoury clientele. Items we received extra charged for so the bill had to be redone then when I said we weren’t happy the waiter was quite off. A good Restuarant would ask why but he was quite dismissive. It’s a shame because I’ve been there a few times but it now has put me off

Great early dinner and drinks. We went for the tapas menu that didn’t disappoint. Sat out the front enjoying a summers evening. Recommended.

I am very disappointed with this restaurant. Let me start with the service, which seemed to be organised chaos. Our waiter was rude to my partner about his heritage and the manager talked over our heads to a table behind us. I was driving and therefore ordered a mock tail,when it came it had alcohol in it; I could taste it straight away so luckily sent it back. When my replacement drink turned up I was told “I got it to you quickly as it was for another table”!! Now let me talk about the food; our chicken dish was dry, the pork was 75% fat, the banoffee pie was not available so I ordered the cheeseboard which did come with plenty of cheese but only three crackers.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome. Arbilio looked after us throughout our stay and gave an outstanding service. The food was delicious, we had a steak and fish main which was both cooked to perfection. I have to say their cheesecake is the most exquisite cheesecake we've ever tasted. The atmosphere and whole evening was brilliant, and the staff couldn't do enough for you. It was our first visit and definitely won't be the last.

We stubbled in here by chance and were pleasantly surprised. Definitely somewhere to site for the afternoon. The coffee is one of the best you will get….proper coffee. We are vegetarian and all the dishes were very fresh and tasty. We would have liked to see a few more vegetarian/vegan options but can’t moan! The pan con tomate deserves a special mention. The undercover outdoor seating is good for those of us that like the sunshine but burn and you can also bring your dog in this part. The service was exceptional and they were very attentive to the outside customers. We will be back.

Do not go here. I am a recovering alcoholic of 10 years and my sobriety is everything to me. I have had to work so hard to stay sober. On a night out with friends I ordered a mock tail and the bar man put alcohol in it! I could tell from the first sip. When I complained they didn’t even apologise or care. The effects of this could have been disastrous and to not even care! Terrible place… it completely ruined my night and I have been full of stress and anxiety all day!

Excellent restaurant serving authentic Spanish food on Ascot High Street. Waiters are friendly and service is prompt. Their selection of tapas is excellent and great quality. I have taken my two children who are half Spanish three times and they love the food, the restaurant and the waiters

Disappointed with recent visit here, staff not very friendly, questioning how much tapas ordered, food average for the £70 per head bill including wine, by 10 pm flashing lights and booming music as it becomes a night club, little atmosphere.

My new favourite place to catch up with friends after work, amazing cocktails and service. Great atmosphere. Very well looked after start to finish, couldn’t have felt more welcome. This place is becoming a regular occurrence. Tried some of the amazing tapas dishes on offer today, will definitely be ordering food next time too. Has the feeling of a classy London cocktail bar, without the pain of trying to get into a big town. Highly recommend!

Spanish? Not even close. As a person that has lived in Spain for 17+ years this restaurant had no clue what Spanish cuisine was. The waiting staff were great and attentive but the food was a joke. Myself and my partner ordered an array of dishes and the best one was the mussels Mariniere which is not even a Spanish dish. The croquettes were probably the worst I’ve ever tried. After having complained about the lack of flavour of them (you can probably buy better frozen ones) a waiter offered us the cod croquettes. When they came back, we asked if they were traditional Spanish and they said: ‘no, they’re Portuguese’. Are we in a Spanish or a Portuguese restaurant? We sent them back immediately. The waiter very kindly offered us a bottle of Portuguese wine which was honestly the highlight of the meal in a ‘Spanish restaurant’. When asked about the concept of the restaurant, we were told that it is a Spanish restaurant but the owner is Portuguese so decided to add his ‘Portuguese influence to it’. When the bill arrived he had charged us for the complementary bottle of wine and justified that he had taken off service charge. We argued that he had offered us the wine on the house and when he came back with the bill he had then added service charge? What a joke. If you’re looking for Spanish cuisine, avoid this restaurant by all means. Overpriced confused cuisine that no one should have to experience. 4 tapas and a bottle of wine for £80? They have no concept on what a tapas evening should be.

this is my second visit and second review of Vall de Cavall. Never had any complaints about the food TBH. My first reveiw only had issues with the younger drinkers outside. On this occasion however is was quite differnet. The tables outside had been set so it looked and felt like a restaurant. Myself and wife popped in on a Tuesday evening (about 6.30pm) and it was quiet. We sat outside as the sun was shining and had a few drinks each and three tapas dishes. I must say the food was exceptional. Really well presneted, seasoned and delicious! We also had two glasses of wine and 2 beers and it came to £60 which included service - which I didnt think was too bad considering the quality. Service was good. Polite, attentive and friendly. Will be going back again mid-week as really enjoyed it. Have tried a lot of restaurants in Ascot and they are nowhere near the food standard here - especially on the High St.

Whilst we were 30 mins late arriving due to the South West trains delays we received a very warm welcome. After receiving an explanation from the manager as to why we were not able to have the brunch menu which we had booked for due to the train delays we were offered a free drink as a sorry and proceeded to order from the tapas menu. Excellent service was received throughout from the senior waitress including her photography skills! Fully recommend this excellent restaurant

I love the food here - and the service is great - but unfortunately there was a group of about 6/8 men who were sitting at the bar - shouting and swearing very loudly - this will definitely make me think twice before going back. I appreciate there were efforts made to try and keep them quieter but I felt there was some reluctance to be too forceful in case there might have been retribution. At one point there was nearly a fight between them. This needs to be addressed - when we left, a bit after 9 they were the only people left and I suspect if you continue to allow them in they will be your sole customers after a while.

Great tapas. Staff incredibly attentive. Good vibe. The only negative was the table of young males who were seated by the bar who were swearing very loudly, whilst we were waiting to be seated.
