Rating: 5 / 5
Having been denied a number of last minute reservations as they have always been fully booked, we finally decided to book in advance and we didn’t regret it at all. We were afraid it could be slightly pretentious, but it was far from it. It was homely, with lovely service, with delicious and generous portions of beautiful Italian staples and the quality of it really reflected good value. We booked table again while paying the bill. Thank you and see you soon.

Rating: 4 / 5
The food was good but I wasn't overly impressed considering the price. The calves liver was fine but the dish was basic and unremarkable.

Tucked away in the heart of Barnes, Riva offers a dining experience to indulge oneself and guests. The welcoming venue matches the quality of the food. The Fritelle starter is a must-try, satisfyingly filling with an array of flavours. The Spaguetti alle Vongole and Cotoletta alla Milanese are all excellent choices, all at reasonable prices with generous portions.

OKA Restaurant Barnes
88 Church Rd, London SW13 0DQ, UK | Sushi Restaurant P: 020 8741 8577
Rating: 4.6 (225) Price Level:
I reached out to OKA to help me with a special request putting together a custom sushi "cake" for my partner's birthday. To say the least, I was not disappointed (see pictures!!). The staff were extremely attentive and I got to speak to the chef directly to discuss the ingredients and decorations of the cake. They even added extra details like gold leaf and floral decorations! The cake was delivered at a specified time to our doorstep with sushi condiments and a sparkler candle included. My partner and I are very impressed with the service and attention to detail. Thank you so much to all the staff that helped make this happen!

It's 2020 Update: It's been a year since I was last here. Its been a busy year travelling, so nice to check in with the locals. Oka hasn't dissapionted, nice to see they have kept up the high delicious standard. The staff are still very welcoming, good service, great menu and do ask to check for the special. I met a neighbour with his sons, who also enjoyed the fusion of delights on offer. Nice atmosphere especially in the evening when they dim the lights, good music choice, not loud or intrusive. This has been my little new year treat, which l am so pleased it still delivered. Anyway must get back to my green tea ice cream. Keep up the good work. 🍵 🐠 🍚 ________________________________ This is a very new place to eat, selling my favorite food. Very nicely decorated, welcoming staff, can sit up to 26 people. I had the £15 set menu, very well presented and very delicious, with a refreshing cup of green tea. They have a good selection on the menu, also a good drinks list. Nice to see new businesses flourish and wish them well. Check their website for more details. (follow your taste buds) It was a nice treat after a few intense days of art making, a bit of time out.

Sam's Riverside
1 Crisp Rd, London W6 9DN, UK | Restaurant P: 020 8237 1020
Rating: 4.7 (1079) Price Level:
We ordered a variety of starters and they all tasted great. The sourdough and Parm churros can be skipped. Mains were a bit disappointing. Haddock souffle was too heavy and there was nothing special about the steak. All the portions were a bit on the smaller side. The staff and service was amazing. The restaurant itself was a bit dim and loud.
Rating: 5 / 5
We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Sam’s and we made the perfect decision. We saw it before when we were around this side of the Thames. The food was amazing and we felt like we were ready to explode at the end. The drinks were good and they have a really wide array of wine selection and they helped us in matching the perfect bottle for our meal. To top the experience, their level of service and attention to their clients make them stand out from other restaurants. We’ll definitely come back to try their other selection.

I originally already given up on London restaurant, as I have bad experience on high prices with ridiculously bad service… But today it is my birthday so I decided to go and celebrate with myself and go to Sam’s, oh… but did it surprise me, with both service and food aline together, with really good staff and welcoming attitude that explain the menu and the questions I have on food, also with a birthday card… etc with all the little things adding up, makes it 101%. It gives you a warm feeling and I would definitely come back next time with some friends and family. With the meal, I have ordered Blue cheese Souffle with parmesan cheese churros, black chocolate Fondant and some red wine. If you haven’t been, I do highly recommend it. It definitely highlight my night especially it is my first years spending my birthday in London and at Sam’s, which I believe I have made the right choice. AD

What a lovely restaurant by the riverside. Greeting by the manager All staff were professional, cheerful and on the ball. We were not rushed at all. I had the mussels for starter, Plaice for main with green beans and a dark chocolate dessert. Everything was tasty so compliments to the chef, I was completely full. Will definitely return.

We had a lovely evening at Sam's Riverside. The excellent fish dishes turned our visit into an amazing culinary experience. Staff was great - friendly, attentive and at no point intrusive, well done! Wish we'd gone there sooner, but now in a top spot of our 'Food gems' list. Until next time!

White Hart
The Terrace, London SW13 0NR, UK | Pub P: 020 8876 5177
Rating: 4.4 (1749) Price Level:
It's a beautiful pub. in a great location. It is very clear that it is visited by the most fortunate in society, so you can enjoy not only the atmosphere but the class and elegance of the people around you. The food is your average pub food, not bad, but also not special. It you are lucky enough, you can get a table on the balcony, so you will have the best of the outside and inside od the pub.

This has been a favourite place of mine for many years. Can never complain about any visit. Lovely spot for a few drinks or a bit to eat right by the river. Staff are amazing and go above and beyond hospitality service to make you feel welcome and relaxed. Sat at a nice table on the first floor veranda and had the native lobster and prawn eggs benedict which was superb.

It’s a really amazing place. I recommended a lot for everyone who visit London he or she must must visit the place I have been coming here a lot and each time it’s like a first time to me to be here more over the service is amazing and they are very friendly likewise the view on the river is a great, again I really recommend the white Hart to visit.

Absolutely fantastic! Really neat traditional pub with circle bar. Good amount of table and chairs inside and out with amazing river views. Food is outstanding. Ordered the sausages and blue cheese croquettes - enjoyed every mouth full. Popular spot so safer to book

Overall a lovely Sunday roast. Would say portions are slightly on the smaller side. I would say for ladies portion size fine, but for men, you may be left hungry with the roast. Was survived quickly and food came out quickly. Served by Andreja. £20-25 a roast £7 a pint £8 mulled wine Presume in the summer with the doors open it would be lovely as on the thames. Toilets need updating, smell of damp. Dog friendly.

The Brown Dog

Rating: 4.4 (417) Price Level:
Loved the food and it’s a great change since before the takeover. Service was impeccable. Perhaps slightly over seasoned but this is us being very picky. We don’t love that many places in London and this was love at first bite. Atmosphere a bit too loud but it was Friday night (albeit a lot of kids, I guess it was more of an unusual occurrence than normal)
Rating: 5 / 5
Excellent pub nestled away down a quiet Barnes road. We went on a sunny Saturday and sat out the back of the pub that gets direct sunlight in the afternoon with a peach tree over-hanging the space providing some quintessential shade. We had the Ndjuja Pizza, Anchovies caper pizza, and a garden side salad. All three were delicious whilst having a refreshing pint in the sun. Will be back!
Rating: 5 / 5
Not just the best roast I’ve had in Barnes but the best I’ve had in London in an extremely long time (maybe ever?). Roast beef extremely tender, flavoursome roast veg and incredible homemade Yorkshire, also extra cheesy and delicious cauliflower cheese side. Love to see an independent pub in Barnes and while the roasts weren’t cheap, at a time where eating out is expensive everywhere I’d much rather put my money here! Service was great too, thank you 😁

i had the pleasure of visiting this lovely pub tucked away in a secluded part of Barnes for Sunday lunch.

We came for the Euros final and decided to have dinner too and booked for 630pm. Firstly I want to say service was exemplary from the time I booked to when we had to leave. Someone actually rang me to ask whether it was just dinner or just the Euros final and I said both and apparently it was to check whether we needed a view of the tv. I was very impressed! I then wanted triple cooked chips with aioli as a starter (not on the menu) which I’d had had a couple of years ago and the v polite and helpful server checked. I got my chips and I swear they made/provided the aioli! Since we had reserved a dinner booking we also got to order roast dinner with all the trimmings, which was decent and tasty. I asked for extra gravy and they were very generous with extra jugs. I did feed back the Eton Mess was out of balance with too much cream and I didn’t eat much of it and the excellent server (wish I knew his name!) offered to take it off the bill. All the staff were so polite and friendly. It’s not a sports pub/bar as the tv screens are not that large but we enjoyed the atmosphere. It’s a v nice pub and we will be going back.

This pub was an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was great. I had a scotch egg and a vegan roast which was surprisingly delicious and my husband had fish and chips, very crispy and tasty! Louie the waiter was very helpful.

First Sunday quiz at this place. It was great, Craig was fun, enthusiastic and funny. We had a great night; quiz may have been favorable for us as we love Christmas. But it was overall a fun and tasty Sunday evening out. Thanks, we will be back.

Love this pub with its ornate Victorian decor, lending an air of elegance and style. Friendly staff and good food. Claire went out of her way to accommodate a small party just before Christmas, much appreciated. Only downside is it can be noisy due to its popularity in the evenings especially. Great outdoor space on terrace and garden in warmer weather too.

Nice food, good atmosphere and great selection of beers. I came there for cask ale beer and found out they also have a stock of vintage ales. They also have a big garden area which seemed suitable for a sunny day out.
Rating: 5 / 5
Super pub and huge on the inside. Great outdoor garden and front patio area is also good for catching the sun and watching the world go by. Sunday roasts are a must as we had had many recommendations to try one which we did late last year. Our most recent visit was for a small lunch and drink. I had the chicken club sandwich which comes with triple cooked chips and it was excellent and very well priced. We also tried the steak sandwich again very very nice. The pub is super dog friendly with lots of water bowls and not too cramped inside. Only criticism is there was lots of staff members which can sometimes counter act how long you wait to be served, but the bar was very quick and we did wave down some one to help order our food but we're looked over a few times as I can only assume they thought we were already being served. Well worth a visit and will be back. Photos of my sandwiches 😋

I was the first customer after doors open in the morning (I'd been waiting for my car to be serviced nearby and wanted somewhere to eat that wasn't full of Burberry waistcoats and hooray henriettas!). I ordered the Club Sandwich and an orange juice. The young man who served me was very friendly, and as I had never visited this particular branch of Mrs Miggins' port of fare, he patiently showed me the way things were done there. The sandwich was very tasty and a good portion size. Some of the bacon was burnt and the chicken was cold, as was the plate, but this was balanced by the overall taste of the ensemble and the fries, which were hot - crispy on the outside, fluffy within.

We had a marvellous Thanksgiving dinner here last week - everything was tasty and abundant! A lovely range of dishes that represent different US regions. Despite the pub being absolutely full, they accommodated my request for a different table, and the service was swift and friendly. Claire has a lovely personal touch and came round to every table to check on everyone. Highly recommend!

Unbelievable across the board. Everything was delicious. I can’t wait to go back. Fishcakes - unreal. We ended up ordering more! Only £5. Small but they pack a punch of flavor Oysters - wow. Huge, delicious. Loved them. Fish n chips - delicious and one of their main sellers. Also helps donate to a charity for a child in need. Service was quick and kind. Our only sad point is we weren’t by the main window open area to the river with views because we had 6 people. They seemed like they mostly fit 4. All good though, we will return. Oh how could I nearly forget - one of the best sticky toffee pudding I’ve ever had. Order 2 if you have 6 people, it’s worth it!!

Really nice food, the simple dishes are so well done, and the service was first rate and relaxed for a lunchtime. Try and get a River view seat if you can. Hake was amazing and the Sticky Toffee Pudding made you want to lick the plate.
