River Cafe. London Beoordelingen
Disappointing experience
We had been looking forward to this meal. Unfortunately on the whole, we were disappointed. The service was flaky, the seating arrangement was cramped. The veal was excellent. The monkfish was far too spicy although it was not meant to be. It was pra

Listen, This is how it goes in the River Cafe kitchen when they're devising the new menu... "Fritto Misto?" "Gotta have it. Italian classic. Simple. Delicious." "It's our bag for sure." "Simple, true. But
Overrated Restaurant
Staying in Mayfair and with a recommendation we caught a cab to the restaurant at Hammersmith which was further than expected. Our table was on the terrace opposite an architects’ office with the River Thames vaguely visible though a hedge. The ser
Left hungry - tiny portions at extortionate prices. Overrated.
Nice food but would've been nice to have a proper portion if spending the insane expense of each meal. I left hungry after given a tiny portion for my main meal - and I just don't think this should be the case in such a restaurant. The pri
Look before you leap
In this internet age it’s odd that you would turn up at the River Cafe and be shocked by the prices (as many reviews I have read seem to be). Yes it’s pricey but we knew that before we booked and ploughed on regardless hoping for a top quality ex
Disappointing, Cliquey and expensive even for this type of venue!
We had been looking forward to coming for a family birthday and expected a real treat but overall it was disappointingly run of the mill and the prices were eye-wateringly expensive. £39 for Asparagus as a starter is an example (it was excellent but
Greta to be in the sun
It is some time since I last eat here. Great to have lunch outside in the sunshine. The food was good and service swift. The prices are such that you are either rich, on expenses, or saving up to eat here.
Lunch outside yesterday at a table for two was quite magical
Lunch here yesterday was quite magical. We sat outside on the terrace at a table for two. Dear Charles took our order himself. Champagne to start. Delicious freshly made foccia. Me: Devon crab; Dover sole with roast peppers, tomatoes, olives, capers:
Absurdly priced
The food and service were both great. But great in the same way many other iconic London restaurants are great without making you feel like a fool for paying for £40 starters and £70 main courses for lunch. It’s a shame - it’s a great restaur
Not recommended, especially if you know what good Italian food is.
What an excellent example of what good advertising can do and this restauarnt is consistently booked out! However, the truth of the matter is that it is an overhyped venue where people go to be seen. If you are looking for a great italian meal and fi
Great meal/ bad seats
Very high quality meal. Open kitchen concept is not great if you’re sitting by the kitchen with waiters bumping your chair and people hustling and bustling behind you. I was completely overstimulated. The menu was in a difficult to read font, with
So, the food was fine, so was the service.
That was... until the cheese plate came and there were actual MAGGOTS in the soft cheese. The servers were immediately apologetic and comped our meal. The manager told us that this had never happened before, but still -- one incident where one eats m
Food was great and service was wonderful.
Looking out over the river was perfect. Nice quiet place to eat with friends

The food is fine but the service and ambience are just awful. The service is amateur and forgetful and I don't think they could stuff a single extra table in the place. It's impossible not to hear everyone else's conversations (and com

Attentive staff, local, fresh ingredients in a peaceful setting are the standouts of this charming indoor/outdoor restaurant. We were greeted by a friendly host who seated us immediately at a quaint table nestled near shrubs along the river, a perfec
Oh yes, The River Cafe truly is as amazing as it is unique.
The food and atmosphere are simply wonderful. The service is invisible, yet incredible. The food is the star and it is the best. Go, go, go!!
Maybe no longer Michelin Star...& perhaps a bit busy opening an actual cafe next door.
Today, we met up with family in London, & booked the RC well in advance. I did this by phone, since it was a Sunday sitting & it isn't possible to use the online booking where you can chose a terrace or inside slot. The reason for choosing th
My favourite restaurant in London
A class act. Year after year this restaurant sets the standard in London. The decor creates a stylish yet relaxed atmosphere. The service is on point. The high quality ingredients are expertly cooked. Every dish is a delight. I am always excited to d

The restaurant is beautiful! The food was very good and service was very pleasant. The pizza was a bit salty but still very tasty. The Dover Sole was the highlight of the meal.
Divine Dining in London
This beautiful Thames Wharf location was a perfect dining experience while celebrating my husband's birthday in London. The food, location, and service were top-notch and we really enjoyed our special evening!

Gosh so disappointing yet again As per previous reviews of mine this place is awful However I had no choice other to go again as friend had prebooked it. This was lunch. Dismal that’s all I can say. What perturbs me is that this place still has a 4
Fantastic Sunday Lunch
We went there for my husband’s birthday lunch - and had a superb experience. Food was excellent. We all chose fish - scallops and crab to start - turbot, monkfish and sea bass to follow. We also managed to share the Pappardelle (delicious). Finishe
Avoid it!
The most disappointing and overpriced dinner of my life! Bland food and nothing else! Can't figure out how on earth they got a michlen star!
Overpriced for what you get
The food was nice enough, but I have to say that I was disappointed in terms of value for money. I started with tagliatini vongole which had 8 clams, of which 4 were closed - not good enough for £35 and a disappointing lack of attention to detail at
Still amazing 25th years later..
We were there for a 50th birthday celebration. Saturday lunch. Very busy, lovely day. First went over 25 years ago. Still a fabulous experience. Some of the reviewers on here need to give their heads a wobble..this is a wonderful restaurant on every
A security
Always safe to come back here, excellent and well-prepared food, top Selvapiana Italian oil, important wine list, and one of the most professional services that exist
Winter Menu Wow
We were a party of four who had a late lunch on the winter set menu offer. The food was exceptional and the service was great. Whilst the Al la carte is very expensive this is clearly because of the quality of ingredients, the army of young chefs the
The food was amazing and the presentation was magnificent.
The service was impeccable and spot on. The ambience was very relaxing and lively
Good food but a little over priced
We went here for my wife’s birthday, with our friends. The food we had was great, well cooked, fresh and tasty. I just think is was overpriced for what we had. £60 for a mains plate, £75 for a bottle of wine. I couldn’t justify coming here a
Worth a visit
Worth a visit. Such an iconic restaurant that everyone must go to. The food is splendid and delicious. The restaurant is beautiful and the service is amazing.
Cheaper to fly to Italy and eat aithentic Italian food
Completely disappointing....I'm British and have lived in Italy for over 15 years and the claim of eating delicious Italian food in London is untrue. Far too expensive for poor quality food, lack of warmth from staff and a main course of pigeon that
Trading on past glories.
We have been visiting The River Cafe to celebrate special family occasions for several decades. We visited again last week to celebrate a 30th birthday. Sadly we all agreed that the magic of the place has gone. The tables are rammed too close togethe
As Much an Experience as a Meal
Upfront, The River Cafe is an expensive restaurant but we were looking for a high-end place with an interesting menu that would treat us to new flavors and tastes. We were not disappointed. The menu offered a variety of dishes as starters, as first c
Very disappointing
This was without doubt the most disappointing Michelin star experience we have ever had. The food has elements which are very good but certainly not exceptional. The clam risotto, has a very good depth of flavour from the base stock, but is very stin
Last time we were here was almost 20 years ago.
We have no recollection of that visit. We knew of this place through their cookbooks. It is a trek to get here. There is not much to do in the immediate area. You can't actually see the Thames from the restaurant. We were here at noon on a Sunday
Very good still after all these years! Service is attentive
Very good still after all these years! Service is attentive without being crowded. Menu pays homage to the classics while being creative on its own merits. Food is consistently good without being outstanding. Good wine list of Italian labels with pri

We were determined to really enjoy our meal and the experience; old hands here, true, but we were just in the mood for being pampered, having a wonderful meal and simply relaxing And so it was; a nice reception outside and the ever wonderful Charles

The food was of an impressive standard! We were particularly impressed with the veal shin as a main course and the almond tart as a dessert. The wood-fired lobster was perfectly executed and equally delicious. The pasta, however, fell slightly short
so so good.
it was our last meal of the trip and the perfect sendoff. the menu changes daily and the ambiance is perfection. i had pasta with a parmesan sauce and asparagus. the focaccia served before the meal was *chef's kiss.* We split the lemon tart and s gel

An iconic experience, but one that we wish had been flawless. We trekked out here for dinner a couple nights ago, and while the setting was lovely, the service was less so, and it marred our overall experience. We had their earliest seating at 6:30
Never disappoints
River Cafe never fails with exceptional food, drink and service every time. Excellent produce always perfectly prepared and delightful staff (including the lovely valet team).
Disappointed, overrated & overpriced
We had been looking forward to our dinner, the reputation built up over the years excited us!! We arrived on time, regrettably we booked a table outside, convinced when we booked the outside area was protected, enclosed & heated! On arrival we t
HOW did they get a Michelin Star?
My husband and I were very excited to try The River Cafe. Our daughters had given us a generous gift voucher because it was my Birthday and they knew we had already booked our reservation. We had a booking for 18:30. We were informed from the time
Disappointed and underwhelmed
We've been meaning to dine at the River Cafe for more than 20 years and we finally got around to it this week. We went for the Winter Set Lunch menu which offered a reasonable array of choices. However, when the main (primi and secondi) dishes came
Lunch
Booked a lunch for a special treat with my wife - didn’t qualify for set lunch menu so was easily £60 a head more expensive. Our issue wasn’t financial more that we were rushed through starter and main and at £35-£40 an item it was unnecessary
Disappointing
Very disappointing lunch. Prices have dramatically increased and quality of of food has fallen. Mozzarella starter was tired, tasteless and rubbery, and if it came from Italy it was a very long time ago. The River Cafe used to be stand out quality b
Saved by the Winter Set Menu !
Four of us went for lunch today. We each had the three course Winter set menu plus a bottle of wine and a round of coffees. Came to £85.00 per head or £340.00 for the four of us. While the a la carte menu at River Cafe is extortionate to the poi
Now no longer what it was.
It used to be a place thats aim was to make people feel good, now just a place to make money. A sad demise. Ok food with child sized portions. If I have a main of spaghetti vongole I expect more than one clam and a few strands of spaghetti. Scallops
