The best restaurants in Verulam St Albans East of England

Our son lives nearby and had already tried and enjoyed it here so took us back and I gather has been again since with his girlfriend. We sat outside as it was hot. The staff were really welcoming, helpful and friendly. It is dog friendly so a big plus for us. I had salmon teriyaki and it was delicious. My husband and son also really enjoyed their meals. Good sized portions and extremely well priced. All cooked freshly too. My son likened it to Wagamama's and we all agreed that it was superior and half the price! We will definitely go back when visiting St Albans.

A beautiful setting by the water on a sunny evening, 1st was the house red wine which was delicious followed by an amazing 3 courses, The organic beef short rib which was a delightful & one of the best starters I have ever tasted ( please make this a main course) I then went for the rump of lamb which was cooked to perfection & then finished with a knickerbocker glory! What a treat!!! Our waiter Daniel was excellent & very attentive & knowledgeable about the dishes he also kept our wine topped up, we will certainly return so we can sample more of this superb menu, thanks for making our Saturday evening a memorable one.

Nice, quick, lunch. £5 lunches on offer Monday to Thursday. Limited menu choice, but imcludes weaps. Good, qick, service. Ordering ahead possible.

Lovely bar. Great choice of gins.

Great selection of local beers and the pizzas are amazing!

First time visiting for lunch with my family, who had just arrived after a 14-hour flight. We arrived 15 minutes early and were seated quickly. Staff were very attentive, especially helping us order due to my toddler’s cow’s milk allergy, which is tricky with Italian food. The food was delicious — pasta was cooked perfectly, and the risotto was outstanding. Some dishes were a bit spicy for my family, who aren’t used to spicy food. Desserts were lovely too; the tiramisu had a lighter coffee flavour than we’re used to, but still very enjoyable. Only downside: the wait for the main courses was quite long (about 45–50 minutes), and with a 1.5-hour dining limit, it felt rushed. Would be better if desserts could be ordered together with the mains. Overall, a great meal with friendly service

Such an excellent lunch spot. Tucked away off the main street with indoor and outdoor seating, a ham hock feast was top notch.

Been waiting patiently for 3 months to try this place and wow we wasn’t disappointed. No probably about it this was the best roast dinner we ( 4 people in agreement ) have ever had. We went easy on starters as heard portions were big. Shared the fried olives which were lovely and very different , some breads with the burnt onion butter ( this butter is like spreading air , delightful) and scallops were excellent. We upgraded for 3 of us to the prime rib and one had the sirloin. Think Rib was £110 complete with trimmings , works out about £5 pp extra against normal sirloin but wow well worth it . The trimmings and Perfectly crisp roasties were in abundance . I have had some lovely roast dinners but there is no way I see this can be beaten , faultless!! Unfortunately a five month waiting list! Michelin star roast without a shadow of a doubt , parking easiest by the abbey near fish pool street👍

Incredible. Food was faultless, cocktail great and service warm and friendly. I could not recommend this place any more highly.

Great food Great service Great atmosphere Fab selection of cheeses and wine Booking a must in the evenings Definitely worth a visit

Had my 65th birthday lunch here . There were 9 of us and I was delighted to find that we were seated in a private dining room upstairs . It was absolutely perfect . The food was very good , well cooked and good value . Everyone had a wonderful time and the staff were very friendly and effective . The restaurant is definitely a step up from say a gastro pub /bistro . But without being in the fussy fine dining end of eating out . I you have a small lunch/dinner party then having one of the private rooms makes for a delightful experience that I can heartily recommend

The food here is uniformly excellent, the service is extremely quick and the prices are very affordable. Would recommend.

This is a very pleasant wine bar. Good ambience, great service. However very expensive and we were charged a service charge of 12.5% on a £46 bottle of wine! Difficult to dispute in these intimate circumstances but inappropriate. We would have gladly poured our own wine!!

We made a reservation, they confirmed it and when we arrived the restaurant closed (Google marked it as open). Little seriousness. We made a reservation, they confirmed it and when we arrived the restaurant was closed (Google showed it as open). Not very serious
