The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in St Mark's Kingston upon Thames London

Have been meaning to visit for a long time as have only ever heard positive things and lived in or around the area most of my life. We were greeted warmly and shown to our table, covered with romantic confetti and featuring a personalised menu as I had let the restaurant know it was our 1 year anniversary, these small touches gave us good indication that the evening was going to be a good one! My partner and I both had the Tartelette to start, she had the Hake and I had the Venison. Our eyes met as we tasted our first bite. It was Sublime. Other than the mouth-wateringly good food, the restaurant really stands out to me in regards to the service provided. We were served by multiple staff, all of whom were knowledgable about the food and drink provided, attentive, polite and with a personal touch. We spoke with Sarah the owner who was a delight and a lovely soul. As someone with experience in the industry I could not fault the place and the evening was amazing, start to finish! Well done The French Table, we will be seeing you again very soon!

We booked a table for dinner online and checked by phone that we were in the restaurant and not downstairs. We arrived and were told that our table would be ready in about 10 minutes so we were shown downstairs to wait. Apart from being served drinks - but had to remind someone about the water we had asked for - we were ignored. About 15 minutes after we were sent downstairs we asked a waitress when our table would be ready and again were told 10 minutes. We waited another 15/20 minutes we got up and left. There was no sign of a free table upstairs or of one becoming available. During the time we were downstairs apart from our drinks order we were totally ignored.

Looks to me like it has some association with German dinner kebabs next door and had similar experience same night, sure if done right may be an enjoyable experience, if I had experience and would take the risk I'd know I could clean up, nottingham deserves better, safe your money go to a chain or even get a sandwich
