I was told that you can bring your own home grown vegetales along for a discount. I must admit that I have never seen customers coming in laden with arms of vegetables, so you would have to ask. What a fantastic idea if they do. The prices are what you would expect to pay in a good restaurant and justly so. We have had many meals here and have never been disappointed by the menu, service or food. They also have a beautiful beer garden tucked away from the main road. Children all seem to be welcome here, they have certainly made an effort with our children. A little gem to be shared.

This is a restaurant although it was a pub some 16yrs ago.The interior is some what dark with matching tables and chairs,(no table clothes) something still of an oldie world pub look to it, but very pleasant.The menu is very good with fish, seafood and various steaks are just some of what is on offer.The prices are what you would expect for a restaurant of this standard.Although having to pay £1.75 for seven thin slices of a French stick was I thought a bit pricey.It has a very well laid out beer garden away from the main road.The staff were very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the menu.They have a good selection of wines and guest ales.It gets very busy and it is best to book a table.We will certainly be going again to this little gem.

I love this place. The prices are great and the food is excellent! The cappuccinos were very large and very tasty as well. I was very full but wanted to finish all of my food but my stomach said I cannot eat any more and I had to take some home. I will definitely stop back in here for a meal again soon!

Claudio's is a great family run restaurant in the heart of Windsor. It has plenty of tables inside…read moreas well as a few outside. It is open during the day for lunch as well as in the evening for dinner. The staff here take pride in their restaurant and it is always very welled cleaned and the tables always look ready and perfect. The smart, modern décor is slightly funky with striped banquettes, ostrich upholstered chairs, big bright mirrors, feathers and glitter-touched walls in a gold and purple colour scheme. I spent about £35 on my meal here and it was very well worth it. My pasta was cooked to perfection and the waiter suggested a wine to match. Surprisingly, he did not immediately go for an expensive one - he chose one of the cheapest and it matched my food perfectly. I will go here again.

Manager came back saying it was minestrone and was that OK. No, I said: I definitely did not want anything with pasta in it, he recommended the chicken soup instead. It arrived, obviously freshly made with chicken, courgettes and carrots AND with a mountain of fine spaghetti in it. Spaghetti = pasta.... And this was the manager who took the order! Not wishing to cause a fuss as the two of us were both in a rush, I ate just the veg and stock. And not a word was said by he manager when he cleared away the bowl which contained a mountain of spaghetti. I will not be going back.....

Any restaurant located within the Royal Institute of British Architecture is bound to impress, and…read moreRIBA Cafe is no exception. While you might not even know that there was a dining area within the very official, government-looking building, RIBA's sky-high ceilings and open floors make for a very unique dining experience that can accommodate either a pair or a large party. While a bit pricy, RIBA's dishes play off of the aesthetic craftsmanship of British architects, and even the starters are a thing of beauty. And while the food might not taste quite as good as it looks, the well-dressed and attentive staff make the experience all the more enjoyable. Overall, head to RIBA for a very unique dining experience that is well worth the cost, however, it's unlikely it'll become a weekly occurrence.

Had the most amazing unplanned evening here last night. The restaurant is impressive, a large…read moremodern open plan restaurant and large bar with conservatory overlooking the river Thames at Teddington lock, welcoming you to a friendly, decorated interior. If anything it is off the 'main beat' of the High Street, but certainly not out of reach, although it maybe suffers from 'out of sight, out of mind.' The staff are equally friendly and welcoming. On the dot our waiter, introduced himself to us and shows us to our table. The menu reads well, offering a good choice without overpowering you or using foodie 'jargon'. For starters, we had Shetland Island Mussels "Marinière" and had Roasted Rump of Lamb & Rib Eye for our main course which, was done as per our request medium rare. The food was truly out of this world and is a "must have" when visiting this place and goes perfectly with Argentina (Pinot Noir). Overall, food and service was excellent. Our request for a waterside table was graciously accommodated. Service was attentive without hovering. Excellent service!

Not usually one to give a Restaurant a poor review but after the afternoon/evening we had at The…read moreWharf I feel it's my duty to warn people about it. Let me start by saying the food was 'OK', nothing to shout about but nice. The small portion size was a a bit of a problem. I was left still hungry after their Roast Rump of Lamb, there were no side dishes. The location of the Wharf is really nice. Just by Teddington Loch so you can watch the boats on the Thames. The dining area is floor to celling glass so everyone gets a good view. The service was absolutely abominable. For want of a better word the waiters were 'snooty' and very unobliging. We were a party of five. Myself and three others arrived first. We were asked weather we wanted to sit at the bar or go straight to the table, so we opted to go to the table. The Waiter then proceeded to put the menu's on the table, walk away and never come back. No offer of drinks while we wait, it took me to get up and get a waiter to be served some drinks. When the rest of our party arrived, exactly the same thing happened. After we finally had our drinks we started browsing the menu. The Waiter then appeared again to tell us the kitchen was closing in 15 minutes so we needed to order now! I enquired later as to why you would take a booking for 5 at a time when the kitchen was about to close and the received the response of "most of our patrons order quickly"....... The final nail in the coffin for the evening was the fact that we were offered no choice of desert and then were rudely ushered off the table so they could clear away. We headed down to the bar and an hour later I noticed the same table was still unoccupied. So avoid the Wharf like the plague. The location at Teddington lock is lovely but you will be treated like you're a nuisance, not a paying customer. I hope this review has help steer you off the idea of having dinner at the Wharf.

Nice bar, mixed feelings about the restaurant…read more I've visited several times the bar which was always fun, and the bar food was good. Now we tried the restaurant in the back of the venue. The service was friendly, but slow and inattentive. The Spanish platter as starter was good. They have only two vegetarian options as main dishes, and one was not available. Shame, because the other dish didn't match the description on the menu and was disgusting. The other burgers and steaks were good. It was Friday night and the music was so loud, it was nearly impossible to have a conversation at the table. Something you have to consider, probably worth trying at another day. And regarding the service: when I can try the first bottle of wine, let me test the next one as well and don't pour it on top of the other wine in the glasses.
