Great vibe of a small cosy cafe. We tried vegan food and it was delicious. The tea was great as well. You can enjoy the view of a flowing river if the weather is dry and not too cold. Staff is very friendly. Free blankets.

A very chilled atmosphere , friendly staff, great drinks and delicious food. You can reserve inside but outside is first come first serve. However, the hostess kindly put us on a waiting list and we were moved outside when a table became available. We will be returning.

Great find for breakfast! It is a small but very nice cafe with a view or the river. Staff were very friendly and the food was really tasty! We had to sit outside because they were fully booked and we got really cold as they do not a have heaters.

I recently dined at Allegros and had their grilled sea bass, which was absolutely fantastic. The fish was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor with a light, crispy skin. The seasoning was just right, enhancing the natural taste of the sea bass without overpowering it. Paired with fresh sides, it made for a well-balanced, delightful meal. The presentation was beautiful, and the portion was generous. Highly recommend for seafood lovers!

"Had the Chicken Risotto at Allegro's Restaurant in Surbiton, and it was fantastic! The chicken was tender, and the risotto was creamy with a perfect balance of flavors. The dish was well-seasoned, and the portion size was generous. Definitely a must-try if you're in the area!"

Gorgeous hidden gem in Surbiton. I’ve gone past it so many times but for some reason I have never been drawn to it… but was I wrong! I’ve been missing out; I wish I’d tried it sooner. Really delicious food, lovely staff and really pleasant atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Went on a quiet night after a long day at work and long night ahead. Revived the spirits with fantastic food and kind service. They packed the second part of my order carefully so I could enjoy it later. Very authentic food having been lucky enough to spend lots of good times with Italians and in Italy. The red wine selection was also good.

Quality of food was great, unfortunately our calamari wasn't as crispy as I would've liked, but the pasta and pizza was excellent. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because of the value for money, I felt it was slightly overpriced for what it was, but still a great meal.

I’m so annoyed at myself for not visiting Italian Taste sooner, especially only living 5 minutes away. The lovely staff were so welcoming and accommodating, the food and service were impeccable, the atmosphere was perfect and I can honestly say, I’ll be returning very soon. Thank you all at Italian Taste for the lovely evening, we will be back!

The Italian restaurant you are looking for! Welcoming, personal and comfortable. And the food is great! No matter if you order pizza, pasta or pastry, it tastes like la nonna has been cooking. Thank you for this experience! I wish this restaurant was in my hometown.

We had mussels and garlic mozzarella bread for starter, and as a main course we had a seafood pasta, and pasta with sausage and Gorgonzola sauce. Food was fantastic, really tasty and decent portions. But for our liking the service was too slow. We’ve been served drinks quite quick but we had to wait for about 15 minutes to order dinner. And we had to wait quite long for a starter and a main course. Saying that it was quite busy and we do understand that it takes longer, but we’d expect the order to be taken quicker.

I visited today for my birthday with my parents and had a wonderful experience. Cleo was a lovely waitress and every single one of the staff members served us excellently. We ordered olives with garlic bread first. Then Dad ordered duck, mum ordered sea bass and I ordered the best prawn, calamari and mussels linguine EVER! 🤌🏾 Thank you so much to the staff for the kind and surprise birthday song & a candle with my lemon sorbet dessert. We all really enjoyed the food and would recommend this restaurant 💯

Delicious, top notch vegan food and exceptionally attentive service - especially Jane and Anastasia who were serving us! Also super pet friendly - Anastasia brought water and fresh chicken for our dog plus he received some lovely cuddles from her too. 100% recommended xx

Overall I really love the atmosphere of the pub and food was good. Despite some negative aspects of the visit I would recommend this pub. Service: We booked in for dinner. Whilst our waitress was very friendly the service was slow and inattentive. This was surprising as there weren’t many tables sat around us. Took way too long for drinks to arrive once ordered (was quicker to leave the table and go to the bar ourselves). £5 for a pint of diet coke also seems very steep for Surbiton… Sea bass with chorizo: Really enjoyed this. I normally don’t like chorizo but this paired really well with the fish. Fish and chips: Friends enjoyed this fish and chips. Banana sticky toffee pudding: Looks fantastic but sadly didn’t taste it. The banana chips were too hard and not a great take on the traditional pudding. A case where simplicity would have been better. The pudding itself was a bit hard and dry (looks like they were cooked individually but this means there was a crust all the way around which was disappointing)

Food was next level ! I believe it to be a new menu and I hope the chefs keep up their enthusiasm the same way they’ve created this menu and delivered it. All the time it’s like this I’ll be coming back non stop ! Well done to the chefs and front of house.

I had a really good experience as a vegetarian. The menu had a nice range of options, which is always a relief. Anastasia, was fantastic. She was super friendly, made sure I had all the info I needed about the vegetarian options, and even suggested a few things based on what I liked. If you're in the area and looking for a good pub with solid veggie choices, I’d definitely recommend The Grove. And if you’re lucky enough to be served by Anastasia, you’re in good hands!

Good pub with a wide range of beers to choose from, craft and traditional. Also a good range of pub food. Always busy so would recommend booking, especially if you don't want to sit at an outside (heated) table.

Delicious food and great service. Food came fast, and everything tasted amazing. Staff were great and happy to make recommendations when asked. I can’t wait to go back! We foolishly didn't book in advance and they were full but they made a reservation for us to return within the hour which was much appreciated - it was so worth the wait!

I recently dined at a small Italian restaurant where the squid was the highlight—perfectly cooked and flavourful. The pasta was good, though not outstanding, and the pizza fell short of expectations. Service was friendly but a bit disorganised. Despite not being busy, the server asked us to repeat our order and brought the wrong drink. The restaurant is also quite small, with tables uncomfortably close together. While the food was enjoyable, the tight space and service hiccups didn’t fully justify the higher prices. Overall, a decent experience but room for improvement.

I had an absolutely delightful dining experience at Cento Uno last night. The food was exceptional—especially the meatballs and the sausage pasta, which were perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. However, what truly made the night special was the warm and outstanding service from Giuseppe. His attention and friendliness created a wonderful family atmosphere that elevated the evening. I can’t recommend Cento Uno enough for both its fantastic cuisine and the genuine hospitality. A perfect spot for a memorable night out!

We had a very enjoyable office Christmas lunch at Brown's today. The location overlooking the river is perfect and the interior is modern and well laid out over two floors. I had smoked salmon, followed by roast turkey, with a lemon meringue tart for dessert. The food was delicious, and the service was fast, friendly and efficient. Recommended.

Title: Exquisite Steak Experience at Browns, Thanks to Lara I recently had the pleasure of dining at Browns and was served by the wonderful Lara, who turned an ordinary evening into an exceptional culinary experience. From the moment we were seated, Lara's attentive and warm demeanor made us feel genuinely welcomed. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the steak. Cooked to perfection, it was juicy, tender, and seasoned just right, hitting all the taste notes effortlessly. Every bite melted in my mouth, encapsulating the essence of what a perfect steak should be. Lara’s service was impeccable – she was knowledgeable about the menu and her recommendations were spot on. She anticipated our needs without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The atmosphere at Browns was cozy and inviting, enhancing the overall dining experience. But it was Lara’s exceptional service that truly set the evening apart. Her professionalism, coupled with a genuine smile, made us feel like valued guests. I can confidently say that this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while, and I would gladly return for another delightful steak dinner, especially if it means being served by Lara again. Kudos to Browns for their excellent team and outstanding cuisine!

Everything we ordered was delicious especially the baked Camembert and pizza. The service was great and you get a nice view of the river if you get a table on the balcony outside. They have a big car park and offer free parking for its customers. Highly recommended.

Lovely atmosphere, great staff and great location on the river! We went for drinks and dinner to celebrate my wife's birthday. The bar staff were excellent. Polite, helpful and friendly. There are lots of little nooks and crannies to sit, ideal if you want an intimate evening and there's also a few seats in the main bar area. Upstairs in the restaurant was equally pleasant. Food was nice, good prices and the service was excellent! Special thanks to our waitress Liz who made our evening special. I'm a firm believer in that staff can make or break an evening, Liz made our evening! Thank you! Fun, friendly and professional! Highly recommend Harts Boatyard and will be going back there soon with friends.

I visited yesterday with my best friends for a long overdue catch up and we had a great time. We ordered Sangria as we were pretending we were abroad 😎. The food was great, the service was great and sitting by the river is just so good for your soul. Thank you for having us 🩷
