No 97 - Surbiton

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.

Ate here with 7 members of my family today. What a lovely experience! Friendly professional staff, amazing food and superb adaptation for the one gluten intolerant member of our group. I wish I was local and could come back asap!

We had an amazing dinner at No97! As it was a Saturday evening it was very busy and our table was for outside. As it had been raining we were unsure whether to stay in case we got wet. Hulio the gentleman who was looking after us was very kind and said it was up to us but there was a heater and canopy so the rain would not affect us. So so glad we stayed! Hulio and his team were so nice and hospitable and looked after us so well. The dinner was a set menu and everything was delicious! My mum who is hard to please when eating out said this was one of the best meals out she has had so that's saying something! From the service to the divine food it was such a lovely evening! We were so lucky as the rain had stopped too! Hulio was so friendly and a pleasure to converse with, my children who both speak Spanish had a nice chat with him too! We will definitely be returning soon! Thank you to all the staff for making our evening so lovely!

Excellent Sunday lunch with family. Service was superb and food delicious. Really recommend for a special occasion. Also we thought great value with all the extras bread, amuse bouche and petits fours

Food and service excellent was most impressed by first visit. Will be back again and will recommend to friends
