YUHAN TIAN We came here for some authentic Hainanese food and overall it was a great experience. The sharing platter was good — although it says for 3–4 people, it’s really just right for three. If you want a more satisfying meal, it’s worth ordering a few extra dishes. We added half a portion of white-cut chicken, which was excellent — very smooth and tender with perfectly crisp skin, showing great control of the cooking time. It would be even better if the broth and surface were cleaned a little more thoroughly. The mixed rice noodles were delicious, and the green glutinous rice balls with coconut filling were a pleasant surprise — chewy and fragrant. The fried shrimp and chive cakes were tasty too, just a bit oily. The place is very popular, so expect a queue, and sometimes you might be asked to change tables or share with others. But overall, the food quality makes it worth it.

Alexey Subach Exceptional experience with their special Valentine’s Day tasting menu. The interior was nice, the staff were friendly and welcoming, the cutlery and crockery were really great. The bread with leek butter were simply amazing - the bread was warm and custom made and the butter was uncommon and delicious. The scallop croustade was good although the flavour was a bit on the simpler side (classic scallop and citrus combination) - still a good starter. Tuna tartare was amazing, halibut dish wasn’t perfect as the fish was overcooked in my opinion but the sauce was out of this world and put everything in order. The duck breast was truly great as well - tender with a crusty skin and paired well with the beetroot which wasn’t overly earthy. The dessert - chocolate mousse - was a bit on the simpler side and the crusty but was a bit too hard but still the balance was there and this was a pleasant dish with a nice twist of burnt grapefruit. Overall, this is one of those experiences where the value for money is clear. Forest cocktail was great - the flavours were rich and silky. The only small downside was that the cream on the top was a bit difficult to sip with the cocktail itself. All in all, a great place which I recommend especially for occasions when they have those tasting menus as the chef is really talented.

Marian Gallagher-Jones Visited with friends and it was fun! Cocktails were delicious and the banter with Will was brilliant. Service was great and a beautiful place to spend an evening. We didn’t eat this time but will be back

C Lam An amazing riverside steak experience alongside the picturesque River Thames in SW14, arguably the most perfect location in London! The service was impeccable, as the waitress juggled through both indoor and outdoor patrons but always maintained a smile despite the infamous British / European heatwave. Kudos to her for her tremendous service. Each dish was faultless despite there being, possibly 100+ guests being served simultaneously! The ribeye was good! Filet was even better, but I was stunned and mesmerised by the sirloin! This was the gold standard. All of starters were exceptional, and probably required several additional top ups! The salad was very green, and executed to perfection despite this being a steakhouse, as attention and due care was given here! As for the dessert, you only need to look at the readiness of the patrons roaring to attack! The crumble definitely was the choice to be had! Overall… exceptional…

Millie Bunting We had an excellent meal at Tinto Taperia. We opted for the tapas and selected 4 dishes to share between the two of us. All of the food was delicious and we were very happy with our choice of dishes. It was just like the tapas we enjoyed whilst on holiday in Mallorca this summer and we will definitely be back! Service was great and staff were attentive and friendly. Value for money was excellent too, including service charge, our meal was just over £60 (four tapas dishes, starter to share and two drinks).

Keri Degg We found the food delicious, carefully prepared and the service spectacular (the servers were so polite and helpful). We found the atmosphere wonderfully calm and relaxing…so much so that we returned for dinner the following day. We will definitely return!
