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!

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

Despite leaving a message and emailing no one responded to me concerning my intolerances which I found worrying. On arrival they had noted one intolerance but not the second. However they advised me what I could eat which was one starter, mains with exceptions and one dessert. The Amuse Bose made especially for me and starter were both tasty. The roast beef was tender but we all had two very small slices and the pork was dry. My husband thought the roast potatoes were soggy. The service was mediocre. Overall we’d rather spend a little bit more on The French Table which is exemplary. However, in the week I have had a good lunch here.
