River Cafe in Cotswold

My favourite restaurant to visit whenever I'm in London.Enjoyed the vibes on a Saturday Brunch . Great foods and very good dessert.See you soon River Cafe :)

Left here disappointed given all the hype and difficulty getting a booking. The food and service was good but nothing special, and for the eye watering prices that they charge it’s not worth it. The inside is very casual, quite badly decorated and feels like a canteen. The outdoor space is nice but is actually next to the car park and set back from the river so there’s not really a view. Despite always being fully booked the restaurant was actually 1/3 empty for a Saturday lunch. There are other restaurants in central London that offer a much better experience for similar or lower prices.

I've been lucky enough to eat here couple of times as a guest from wine tastings.The food is exceptional, you can definitely taste that the ingredients are brought from high end Italian companies.I had lunch in the private room and the service was spot on each time.A little on the expensive side for my pocket, but then again I didn't pay this time.If I don't think about the price is definitely a good restaurant.

Had an amazing dinner at The River Cafe. Booked a month and a half in advance. The food was absolute perfection. I got the ravioli, sea bass and tiramisu. Relaxing, elegantly understated.

Given the reputation and prices, I had much higher expectations and everything about this restaurant is a bit of a let down; the atmosphere is like a cafeteria, it’s very noisy, service was mediocre at best, plating of the food was sloppy and completes the cafeteria experience (there was really no effort or artistry with the plating) and the food was ok, but not memorable and certainly not worth the prices. Terribly underwhelming experience, and certainly would not return given how spoilt for choice we are in London with outstanding restaurants and how much better an experience you’d get elsewhere with £500.

We had the PDR for the evening with it came extra special attention to detail.From entering through to having pre-drinks before we sat down.Our starters through to mains and desserts was just absolutely delicious.What a treat.Highly recommend.

a fabulous spot for lunch, the atmosphere reminds me of a cafeteria that you get in a museum. food was enjoyable but for the price paid, i expected a bit more wow. defiantly would go again but not anytime soon, many families were there as there with an outdoor area for kids to run around in.

Such great standard of dishes! What blew our socks off were the veal shin main and the almond tart dessert. The wood oven lobster was cooked so well and was also amazing! Pasta was a bit average though. All other dishes were very good and all round delicious.

Sunday lunch experience. Really disappointed in this restaurant having tried to come for the past 18months I was really looking forward to this meal with the family. Now I come out feeling disappointed as I did not enjoy the food nor really the restaurant. It’s highly overpriced in my opinion (24£ for a mini pizza, 25£ for a soup, up to 50£ for a main) and I struggle to understand how it has a Michelin star. Appetizers were the best part, primos the worst, secondis were ok. You should count at least 80£ per person for a good meal, more if you want to drink.I will not be returning any time soon. Having said this, my Italian girlfriend enjoyed it so perhaps it’s a question of taste but we both agree the prices are ridiculous.

Good food. Stand outs were the squid starter and ravioli was pretty impressive. All round the food was good, simple flavours and techniques executed well.Service was pretty amateurish. Very little experience with fine dining serving methods. They ask lots of questions on food allergies on booking and then ignore it all when you get there.Our waitress was well intentioned but food delivery waiter would plunk the food down unannounced. Not great when paying these kind of prices.Glad I came and the food was great, but wouldn't rush back or really recommend to friends.A solid 3.
