It is always interesting…read morewhen traveling to explore local restaurants and to find a true gem like this is exceptional. From the get-go when we entered the restaurant, we were welcomed and the staff was very attentive. They change their menu up often and there were several good options. Being low carb boy, I was looking at the choices, but after our waiter detailed their signature veal dish, we were hooked. It was outstanding and really blew our minds. True meaty goodness that was one of the most phenomenal things I have had in a long time. We are tempted to return just to have that dish again. It is a ball of veal stuffed with ham, Italian sausage and fontina cheese. It is covered in a peppercorn sauce that was incredibly yummy. I cannot recommend this dish more. Truly worth the trip to try. We tend to avoid sugar, but, it was a very special evening, so we tried the Eton Mess and were not disappointed. Not too sweet, with strawberries and blueberries immersed in rich, heavy cream that has roasted almonds and pieces of meringues. I am sure it blew my carb count for the day. I look forward to my return and encourage you to check it out.

This is a fantastic restaurant. I have been here 3 times and had new things everytime (not…read moresomething I do often). The menu is amazingly varied with choices for any taste. There are good vegetarian choices, but plently of good meat dishes. Some of the meals are quite unusual: I have had Venison and Rabbit there. The meals are not cheap (roughly £12-15 per main meal) but I can honestly say they are worth every penny, so worth a special trip. The atmosphere is quiet and cosy; perfect for a romantic dinner. Although I am sure they could cope with bigger groups, they didn't seem to be set up for it so you may need to book ahead. If there are just 2 you should be find without booking on a week night, but I wouldn't risk it on the weekend. The staff are friendly and attentive and will make recommendations from the menu if you want. The wine list is extensive and (althought I am not a wine expert) seemed good. I have always been happy with my choice.

But in the interests of widening my culinary tastes, I ventured to the Loch Fyne restaurant in Wokingham. Located on the main road out of Wokingham with plenty of parking, the restaurant is a nice change to the Italian restaurants that clutter the high street. The decor is upmarket, with an iced fish counter on the right and comfortable, clean seating areas. We were greeted with a smile and plenty of chat from the waitress which was a positive start. She also gave us her personal recommendations and had a clear understanding of everything on the menu, which is always a good sign. The menu is very much fish based, although there are a couple of alternative options including steaks and duck for the non-fish fans. I ordered the potted shrimp with crusty bread to start, followed by....the steak. Baby steps eh? The shrimp was delicious with the warm toasted bread, and the steak was perfectly cooked. I didn't have chips with mine but a few of the friends I was dining with did and they were delicious. Overall, the excellent service, high quality food and decent serving time secured this restaurant a place in my 'must-visit' list. It's not cheap, but you're paying for quality.

I had the smoked salmon appetizer and the Whole Sea Bass pan fried. I enjoyed both meals. I had broccoli and a summer salad with my fish. The fish was well prepared, flaky, well cooked. The waiter was very attentive with drinks for our group of 8. I would say just about everyone enjoyed their meal. The only negative for our group was tuna being overcooked. People were expecting it to be cooked rare and it was cooked through. Other than that, everyone enjoyed the appetizer and entrees. Several people got the mixed grill. They had a special mussel appetizer people very much enjoyed. Service was attentive, and overall good ( better than average ).

A great little Italian and to my mind the best food to be had in Wokingham by a wide margin…read more So where to start. The restaurant is in a period converted house, which once belonged to the family who owned number 6 (where the restaurant is situated) and the imposing building at the end of Rose street (I remember visiting the daughter in a past life here but we'll move on) It's intimate & warm and has a great feel at the front whilst there is a less intimate but larger area at the back principally used for groups. The Italian staff offer a genuine warm welcome and repeat visits make you feel part of the family! The menu is well balanced with a broad selection of Italian standards. The crab and cod ravioli with the saffron sauce is superb whilst the crab salad is a fresh triumph of a dish. Mains are equally accomplished, the fillet steak with fois gras delivers big bold flavours and Turbot is a another favourite of mine. The wine list which is exclusively Italian, offers a wonderful selection, the Russiz Pinot on my last visit was outstanding. Service is performed with aplomb, and it is performed, this place has a heart beat a rhythm and there is a pride taken in executing every task. Deserts are equally polished the Tiramisu is a rich sticky delight and the home made chocolate cake is to die for. All in all the food service and atmosphere are all top drawer. So to the trifling, grubby part, the bill. . it's not cheap, it's squarely in the top end of the range, but then so it should be, so it deserves to be. You'll leave lighter of cash but richer in spirit and bloody well fed!

The surroundings are in an old Tudor building steeped in character, and there are several Thai paintings and pictures on the wall. Staff are friendly and welcoming. I've been here several times and have always had great service. My only negative comment is the portions are quite small, so make sure you have at least one more dish than the number of people at your table. Prices however are inexpensive so you will be able to afford the extra plate! The restaurant is quite small so I would imagine if they had a large party it would be very loud.

I loved my food here…read more I was back in the UK for my graduation and my parents were staying at the Holiday Inn where this restaurant is located and so we went here for a spot of lunch. Absolutely delicious. When we entered it was quite noisy as a conference group was just finishing up but before we knew it they had left and it was quiet. Like most restaurants in the UK these days the wait-staff is mostly foreign and although they might have a little trouble understanding you, patience is due; they are friendly and absolutely fabulous at what they do. The menu is nice with a good range of options. They gave us a selection of breads to start, all excellent (I was hungry so I tried them all) and our appetizers followed shortly. To start I had the scallops, moist, a good size and lovely. For my main meal I had the "Pork 2-ways". Which was really Pork 4 ways. It included medallions of tenderloin, pork belly, bacon and crackling over a bed of pasta (check out the picture I uploaded). Delicious, very filling to the point that if you ever have a last pork meal ever, this should be it. It is on the pricier side but this restaurant isn't pretending to be pricey like some might do. Give it a try if you want a nice meal out. Bonus: clean bathrooms are always a plus.
