I was totally blow away by their special steamed Sea Bassdish, it tasted exactly like my father in-law's home cooking! The appetizer sampler is the way to go if you are not sure what to order, or just want food with drinks. The portion is enough to feel satisfied for two person that's not too hungry. Be aware, all special dishes (more home cooking style) are on the sweeter side, so if you are one with savory preference, you may want to stay on the safe side with regular Thai curry dishes.

It's so huge and rustic in the inside..lovely wooden floors with distressed metal candlesticks and chandeliers... Entwined are home made products like jams, chocolate, lemonade and sweets.. This breakfast menu was difficult to choose from as it was full of tasty sounding dishes.. in the end I chose the veggie breakfast which came served on two large pieces of homemade bread, guacamole, hummus, poached eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and beans. Everything just tasted perfectly fresh and natural ...washed down with fresh orange juice..I haven't been this impressed in a long time over breccie! Service was very quick too...a little bit pricey but you can taste the quality of the ingredients... Come here for your breakfast!!

I came here twice for dinner with coworkers while working in the area, as the restaurant was a…read moreshort walk from the hotel we were staying at. The food was pretty good, and the portions were generous. Nothing too fancy, but the prices were reasonable relative to the quality and location. The first time I came, I split a mushroom and sausage pizza with a coworker and also got the soup of the day, stracciatella. The pizza was large (I definitely wouldn't have been able to finish it on my own) and the soup was tasty. The pizza did get a bit soggy partway through, but it was still pretty good. The restaurant had a wide variety of desserts; I picked the lemon sorbet, which was a sufficient size since I was already full from the pizza, and was very enjoyable. My second night here, I got a ravioli dish with beef bolognese sauce; again, it was tasty and the portion was generous. I was just barely able to finish it. There was a good amount of outdoor seating; since I was here during a heatwave we never dined inside so I didn't get a look at the interior. All the staff we encountered were friendly. Overall, a decent and reliable place to get Italian food in Watford.

Been coming to this joint for about 15 years now and its the same lively experience every time. The food is great, served fresh and quickly and is very cheap. It's always packed in here whenever I come and though the tables are a little close together it sort of adds to the rowdy ritual of eating here. Birthdays are megatastic in here, they turn the lights off and all the waiters bash symbols together wildly and you get presented with an ice cream in an animal dish. Wicks. Have done this many times when its no ones bday just for funsies. Sister has just told me they deliver and its amazeballs. Am on it peeps dont you worry. Valentines nosh. Sorted.

Upon arrival, the woman who "greeted me" for lack of better words was clearly not without judgement. I arrived looking for all the world like the tourist I am (leggings and sneakers, a camera and a shopping bag). Unless there is a strict policy here, I think staff should do a better job of hiding their judgement. I am thankful o report that every staff member thereafter was fantastic. All polite, attentive and nonjudgmental. The food was also superb. The lobster was one of the most well prepared I've ever had. I cannot say I'd dine here again but I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a more pretentious dining experience.

Like a moth drawn to a flame, The Stables was our one beacon in the night on the property having…read morerecently been put up at The Grove in the Hertfordshire countryside for four days. A combination restaurant / 19th watering hole, the pub was a joyful sanctuary a few mere paces from the main building. Food and drink were satisfying if not a little on the high side but to be expected and in line with similar resort prices. The crisp, moist and un-greasy fish n' chips were filling while the kicked-up bar snacks, ales, pilsners, stouts and lagers all hit the spot. An added perk is they have 3D TV w/ free glasses. Kudos to the staff that was very accommodating and friendly to our "Viking" clan considering we always kept them open past their posted time of closure which we found strange that most pubs seem to close down at 11:00 p.m. So all in all, thank you Stables for warding off cabin fever and helping us from going stir crazy ...Cheers!

Firstly the half chicken was insipid , flavourless , bland, tepid and in fact wasn't even a half chicken. The fries had the same consistency of crayons , rock hard , overcooked and an insignificant amount of peri salt bestrewed on top. The garlic bread taste obsolete and nearly fragmented my teeth due to his molecular integrity. Now proceeding onto the service , the waiters were domineering rather than subservient , they're attitude was scandalous and they're spoke very derisively when I merely asked for some additonal sauce which needed for that desiccated chicken breast. Overall never come here , I had several other points to allude to but I keep it succinct.

Can improve: Healthy side options: fresh salads or steamed veggies. Their desserts are very limited as well and can use an overhaul. Benchmark: They seem to set the benchmark for rotisserie type of chicken. KFC comes close but that is just block your artery food so I stay away. Dined in Jan 2016 and will return.
