The River Café - (Near Hammersmith and Fulham, South East)

5 /5 Grace Yeung: Truly sensational! Piccione - chargrilled, spatchcocked Pigeon marinated in chianti classico and autumn herbs with Coco Bianchi and chicken liver crostino was meticulously executed and this particular dish so memorable. Yeah that didnt sound like food review because it was beyond just cooking and presenting tasty food. I enjoyed the precision of the cooked food. No diner would miss the point. I had to admit I was a bit skeptical when primi was served with no presentation at all, but I guess that was the chefs statement of unpretentious food. Loved the tiramisu, too, a real proper one, not any layered sugary cake using that name to confuse the market.

5 /5 Naomi Lambert: We came with very high expectations and were not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was perfect for sharing between two. We ordered the mozzarella with roasted tomato bruschetta, the game tagliatelle (pheasant, partridge etc) and the veal cutlet with salsa verde. It was a little difficult to work out who our waiter was but everyone was helpful and efficient. Definitely worth the high prices.

4 /5 Julia Enthoven: Had a great early dinner for 4 here on a Thursday night. Seasonal menu, always changing. Unique offerings like pigeon. I really enjoyed my veal entree. And Elton John was at the table behind us! We had a nice knowledge waiter. Cool ambiance without being fancy. Expensive. One of my favorite ever chocolate cake, the nemesis.

4 /5 Mariah Cristina: This brings in a great atmosphere near the Thames with an open plan kitchen. The food is delicious particularly their pasta however the pizza needs a bit more of flavor. Nonetheless, it was a good dining experience to be with friends, quite busy I would say but still audible enough for conversations.
