Having watched Rick Stein on TV for decades, we really looked forward to lunch here…read more Service was very good and staff were friendly and attentive. Location is lovely on the river. Food was good. Simple, elegantly but unfussily presented. We had crab linguine and scallops to start. The scallops were smaller than expected (see picture), 3 small scallops for £17 is overpriced in my opinion. The crab linguine was lovely, light and delicious. For mains we had the whole dover sole (hubby wanted head removed which they were happy to do) and Indonesian curry. All the fish was perfectly cooked. The Indonesian curry had a good heat to it, loved it. We will be back to try other items on the menu

The staff was more than accommodating and sat us and we had an amazing time here. We started by splitting a few pizzas to try out some of the different varieties. The Masinello pizza was my favorite! Everything here was so fresh. We also enjoyed their Pinot noir here, it was so smooth and had us coming back for refills. This place was so mad and that her group actually ended up attending here twice during the same week. We switched it up each time so by the end of our trip we got to try a lot of the dishes here. Absolutely get the house specialty ragu. I think if I got this the first night I probably would have gone back and gotten it again. It was the perfect portion, the sauce was delicious, not too sweet just right, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. To top it all off the staff is so friendly. It was great to come to this area. I highly recommend.

What a view! You overlook the Thames and Richmond Bridge, and it's really lovely. They offer a prix fixe menu along with the standard a la carte, but as the options on the first menu were so nice, we went for 2 courses each and a shared dessert. My Roquefort salad starter was pretty and very tasty and I really enjoyed it. Mom-in-law had the special soup (leek and potato). She said it was delicious but piping hot, and it took quite a while for it to cool down enough for her to eat it. I absolutely love the way the French cook veal, and I was really excited about my veau a Lyonnaise. It was served with scrumptious roasted potatoes. The dish was really good and I nearly felt like I was back in France. Mom-in-law had a buckwheat galette (a Crepe that's folded in on the sides) stuffed with mushrooms, ham and cheese. The buckwheat flavour added something really special to this dish - it was great. We decided to split a citron Crepe for pudding and it was delicious too. Our server was pleasant and friendly, the view was beautiful and the food was great.

The service was friendly and relaxed though they were fully booked. Many tables were enjoying this or the mussels. I was still able to enjoy the happy hour which were channel oysters. They were flavorful but not as meaty as I like. The Gillardeau on the other hand were quite possibly the best I've ever had!! What a win. Dinner service was efficient and warm. The roasted hake was perfectly done with one side pan fried to an audible crisp. The textural difference and the flavors of the saffron mash/gremolata all added up to comfort + happiness + surprise. Job well done Wright Brothers!

They know that when you order takeaway fish and chips you must be stomach-clenchingly famished and very tired. Marina Fish Restaurant is a smartly decorated, modern looking fish and chip restaurant. Before I called by, I had actually thought it was a fish restaurant in the broader sense, due to the name and the look of the place. Actually I think they are missing a trick in not offering a wider choice of fishy treats, as I'm sure there would be demand in the area, and it's good-looking enough for people to come for the evening and spend a little more on dinner. The takeaway is tasty, but a bit expensive. The classy cardboard boxes printed with the restaurant's name look good (a childish bit of me thinks 'ooh, fancy!' each time, and feels like I have gone up in the world, to be purchasing boxed London fish and chips as if it is a fancy fish and chips boutique) but by the time I get home the steam build-up has always made everything go a bit limp. I'd be happy to pay a quid less per portion and forgo the box and the lemon wedge.

They say the third time's the charm right? It really it though!…read more This is the third restaurant I have tried around my work in Twickenham after a horrific experience at Pho Twickenham and a mediocre experience at Pincho's. A colleague and I went for lunch here and it was just the perfect lovely day - the sun was out, it wasn't too hot and we got window seats. I had the Penne Romana (regular size for £7.50) and it was a generous, delicious portion. The pasta was al dente (just the way I like it), the sauce was OH so rich with a touch of cream (as promised), the chicken bits (and sausage bits?) were juicy and the cheese toppers tasted smoky and fragrant - it truly completed the dish. So amazing. My colleague had two lunch starters - the Portobello Mushroom w/ spinach and gorgonzola (£3) and the fried calzone with mozzarella, spinach and ricotta (£3.25). Both were good, however the calzone was a bit bland. The breading for the calzone reminded me of a Chinese doughnut - slightly chewy and smelled buttery (yum). Service was quick and very pleasant. This place was about a block from my work so that's quite dangerous. I'm gonna tell you right now, this restaurant will get me fat.

This is a lovely little Italian place on a gorgeous cobbled street in Twickenham…read more The decor is beautiful, very rustic, old school Italian. We were tucked away in a nice little corner and presented an extensive wine menu, specials and food menu. The staff were nice, giving us enough attention and space appropriately. We started our evening with an aperol spritz each - when in Rome and all that! We struggled to pick our staters as there are so many good choices. There's also a great sharing anti pasti platter too. We selected goats cheese tartlet and stuffed sardines. Unfortunately we were a little disappointed with the starters. The goats cheese tartlet turned out to be a breaded deep fried goats cheese slice on top of layer of soggy uncooked puff pasty with cooked shallot underneath. The special happened to be deep fried goats cheese, so we felt like out option was actually just that rather than an actual tartlet. The sardines were okay, but not what I'd imagined. My main was delicious. A large portion of lamb shoulder, beautiful cooked, it fell off the bone. Accompanied by a lovely Aubergine dish with olives and pine nuts. The red wine jus was overly strong though. My dates main wasn't quite as good. He had roasted pork belly and gratin potatoes. It was was a large portion of meat but a bit dry and a lot of fat. Also we both felt that the waiter should have asked if he wanted any vegetables on the side. It seemed strange for a meat and potato dish not to automatically come with any vegetables. We selected a lovely bottle of Sicilian red wine, which was delicious and decently priced too. We weren't offered any water though, which was a shame as it's nice when it's assumed you'd like some water with your meal as well as wine. £80 in total for two cocktails, starters, mains and a lovely bottle of wine. All in all a nice meal and evening, but simple things could make the experience a lot better.

The atmosphere is relaxed, but there was a bit of competition for tables around 6pm, with some less than courteous guests grabbing a table when others were waiting first without checking in with the server on staff. If there are plenty of tables, it may not be an issue to simply take a seat, however, if tables are in short supply- best to check and make sure no one else is waiting first before grabbing the next available table. Otherwise it's a lovely atmosphere and a relaxed setting for an evening meal or gathering with company.
