Our first visit today. Fabulous food, comfort wind and Outlook. I knocked a star off because we were approached upon leaving to pay our bill that had already been paid. I didn't appreciate that mistake. But, we will be back as everything else was superb.

Lovely evening w delicious food. We did get a bit cold as evening wore on and the terrace heaters don't really help the tables on the periphery. Also the wedding constant disco drum beat wouldn't be my preference for a sound track to an otherwise lovely meal with my late 80 something year old in laws.

Talbooth Restaurant was fantastic! Beautiful venue, impeccable service, and delicious food. We'll be back in summer to enjoy the riverside view. The surprise birthday dessert was a lovely touch.

Was really looking forward to this, but was disappointed! We didn't have a reservation but popped by on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. Unfortunately, we were not made feel welcome and treated a bit out of place, even though we complied with the dress code. Still, it seemed like we didn't fit a certain image or meet their predetermined standards, even though we go to fine dining restaurants on a regular basis. Moving on to the food, it was a letdown for us. The dishes were mediocre, lacking the finesse and attention to detail that elevate a dining experience. My starter (asparagus with hollandaise), in particular, lacked flavor, and the presentation left much to be desired, as you can see from the picture. For the price we paid, we had anticipated a much more remarkable culinary journey. On the upside, the location of the restaurant is beautiful, especially on a sunny day.

Top quality as always. Glorious setting. Attentive staff. Wonderful menu. Stunning wine list. Delicious and beautifully presented food. Yes, expensive, but no surprise there and actually great value for money.

Beautiful location, and excellent service. I had high expectations for the food but it did disappoint me for the price. On arrival there were olives and nuts on the table to graze. Some bread was served which was really good though the butter was a little hard. I had the guinea fowl press to start which was under seasoned and quite bland, though the presentation was lovely. For main I had the steak which was just okay. The sauce was very rich and in comparison slightly over seasoned. For dessert I had the rhubarb and custard tart. The pastry was light and crispy and delicious. I did not get much rhubarb flavour which is a shame. There were lots of jelly bits on top which were also underwhelming . My least favourite course. You have to pay a £25pp deposit which is taken off the bill automatically. There is parking and I wheelchair accessible to the main restaurant. There were vegan and vegetarian. Our bill was about £190 for 3 courses for 2 people, 2 glasses of wine, 2 orange and lemonades, a pint of ale and some sparkling water.

Passing by the restaurant by car and being amazed by the picturesque scenery, we spontaneously decided to have lunch. Unfortunately, we didn't receive the warm welcome we had hoped for, leaving us uncertain about the reason. We wondered if it was because of our age or if we were underdressed, as we have never encountered a similar feeling in the fine dining restaurants we frequent in London. While the food was good, it didn't quite reach the level of excellence we were expecting.

A fantastic restaurant with an excellent level of service and great food. We enjoyed a 3-course, second sitting Sunday lunch in September, having booked in January.
