Best Steakhouses in Thames Ditton

I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Plata and overall, I was very satisfied with my experience. I was pleased to see that they were able to accommodate my gluten allergy, and my prawn starter was delicious without the crostini, which is often a problem for those with gluten intolerance. My steak was cooked to perfection, and I was impressed with the quality of the meat. The side salad was also a highlight, as I was able to enjoy a fresh and healthy option. What really stood out to me, however, was the excellent service I received. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure I had everything I needed throughout my meal. I will definitely be returning to La Plata and would highly recommend it to others. The food quality and service were both excellent, and I'm confident that I'll have another great experience when I do.

Food was excellent. We had chateaubriand between three of us. It was perfect. Service was amazing. Lovely staff.

Buenos Aires Richmond Review Standards High, But not in all areas Please congratulate our waitress Juliana for a Job well done. I criticised a restaurant last week for nickel and diming and sneaky £inclusions. I thought i maybe being a bit too picky, but then young Juliana showed how it should be done. She firstly asked if we wanted still, sparkling or tap water. And when I needed help choosing one of the many Malbecs, she suggested what she thought was the best, even if it wasn't an expensive one. The waiting time from ordering our drinks, to receiving them, was usually long. I'm not sure if it was something to do with orange juice issue, i will talk about later. The new improved Buenos Aires Burger was great. I'm not usually a fan of Brioche burger buns. But it worked better than the pitta bread one before. I was surprised with the size of the restaurant and the amount of seats available, there being only one toilet cubicle for men and one for women. If you're bursting to go to the toilet and one person is already in there, you will have to stand and wait. Unfortunately for Buenos Aires Richmond, freshly squeezed orange juice is my favourite nonalcoholic drink. Despite charging me £4.50, they gave me a large glass full of ice and water with what seemed like a shot of orange juice, which I could hardly taste. It seemed like they didn't have enough or any orange juice. So they decided to squeeze a couple of oranges into a glass, then fill with ice and water. I mentioned in my booking, it was our anniversary. However, there was no acknowledgement of this. This poor offering was inconsistent with the high standards displayed in all other areas. It would have been better to either say we have no orange juice or to quickly pop across the road and pick up a small bottle of tropicana and pour in a glass.

We had a voucher which meant our meal was extremely value for money. Steak was cooked well, calamari and burrata with toast were nice, truffle green beans were delicious and crème brûlée was great and quite a large portion. All the staff were friendly and attentive. We sat outside so wouldn’t be your typical “French bistro” type of ambience but we enjoyed the hustle of Broadway Market.

Food and ambiance are great. However, service was rushed. Having bought one of the most expensive bottles of wine and 3-course dinner we were then asked to hurry as the reservation was for 1.5 hours only. A good restaurant for a quick meal - not so good for a relaxing fine dining experience.
