"Used to be good, but had a poor experience last night. We went as a family of four and had a meal in the left bank restaurant. The table service was quite poor and the bill had a £13 service charge slapped on automatically. The total bill was £126 plus tip, making £139. I left £130 truly believing it was sufficient under the circumstances. The waiter came back twice saying it wasn't enough money. I explained once that the service charge was optional and that I have left enough including an appropriate tip. This was rejected and the waiter again insisted I pay the full amount as it was not enough. I explained again about the tip. He came back yes again to query how I would make up the shortfall in the bill. I was forced to stand my ground and insist in front of everyone that I wasn't paying the full tip. Automatically slapping on £13 tip for poor service is one thing. To then repeatedly question and confront a customer over not paying the full tip in front of everyone is quite another thing altogether. I left the restaurant feeling both humiliation at the confrontation but also annoyance knowing that actually I was right. The tip is optional, discretionary, and voluntary. Putting it automatically on the bill could be seen as a helpful reminder, thank you, if you want to see it that way, but repeatedly insisting it is paid and that I have made a mistake in leaving a smaller tip and ignoring my explanation is just plain wrong."

"I 've been going here since it opened. It is still very nice but the prices have got to a daft level. Anyway, the good stuff the marquee structure erected in covid times is now a semi permanent affair which has been enclosed it is lovely. The staff are all well trained and provide great service. There were four of us having just a simple 2 course lunch. Bread and dipping oils were served fabulous bread. Starters Mrs had a superb mushroom soup, I had 'duck pressing ' a bit dry and not enough quince, Eggs Royale £21! and something else. Mains 2 fillet steaks £52 each , some cheese dish apparently yummy and I had a burger £28! . A couple of bottles of sauvignon blanc. No puddings. Bill with a 10% discount was over £350. Nuts. We had a nice time, but The Barn prices are beyond what it is worth. That said, we are local, so of course we 'll go again!"

"Last weekend, I visited this restaurant with my family and I cannot express enough how impressed I was with the restaurant and the staff. The waiters were friendly and accommodating throughout our visit. As someone with severe allergies, I was grateful for the care they took in adapting my dish from the menu to ensure it was safe for me to eat. They also went above and beyond in providing excellent service to the child in our group. If I lived closer, I would definitely make this restaurant a regular dining spot."

"We visit Caffe Gondola most Saturdays and sometimes also in the week for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I cannot praise the friendliness of the staff enough and the fantastic food. We went to Isleworth (where my Partner resides) and went to a supposedly great gastro...pub. The food and service was awful bust most of all the cleaning the tables were barely wiped but not the salt and pepper shackers. We both commented how superior Caffe Gondola is and how the standard of hygiene is very high and how the Managers and the team take so much pride in what they do. They are always friendly, smiling and polite which is what you want when you go out to any place. Tomorrow, Christmas Eve is my' Christmas as on the continent we celebrate on Christmas Eve. When we went to breakfast on Thursday I told them that we will be back on Friday and I told my partner that it will be a long session as we'll have a spot of lunch as well, all washed down with some Prosecco. Keep up the good work Aarian, Alexander, Bonna and Christoffer and of course the excellent team in the kitchen."

"Our 3rd time there in 2yrs. It never fails to please. Warm, relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. Good sandwiches, including made to order if you ask. Lovely cakes. Light as a feather scones. Great selection of teas and (of course) coffee if you prefer. Stunning surroundings. A bit pricey but for a special treat it is worth every penny. Will return."
