   It was ok, service was annoyingly atentive, until it got busy. Food was great but not a lot to choose from, a very small menu. The ambient was amazing.

   An absolutely beautiful building and grounds. Rooms are extremely small and this is not helped as they are filled with oversized furniture. The restaurant is rather overpriced for the food offered and a glass of wine at £15.00 is rather over the top!

    The environment is gorgeous and the food is very good despite the small selection, but what is really outstanding is the service, which I have honesty not found as good in any other restaurant around Windsor, bar the Waterside. The only real downside was the temperature, which was significant sadly. Fr some reason they had had the air conditioning on and did not seem to be able to sort that out. Luckily I had brought a cardigan, but it was rather disappointing to be cold during the meal and not able to reveal my dress on my birthday. There was also no offer to hang up our coats, but having a lovely large booth, we were able to drape them (and also use them over our knees eventually!) So in conclusion, if the temperature issues were fixed, I would absolutely give it 5 stars. The added touch of a little cake and "Happy birthday" plate was just lovely, although personally I'd add a candle or a sparkler! Still, very thoughtful, and I will certainly be returning!

    We took 2 guests for lunch yesterday and it was very good. Would thoroughly recommend it although not cheap. The grounds are beautiful and a lovely setting on a sunny day. A bit disappointed that prices are plus VAT and service so would have preferred the prices to certainly have included VAT.

    The venue is lovely - I wasn’t expecting much and the menu isnt extensive. I started with a very good Bloody Mary and a prawn cocktail and then had one of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. The wine list is a bit limited but the Albariño was perfect. To finish I had some of my wife’s buttermilk panna cotta which was excellent. Basic food well cooked and decent portions. The service was friendly and efficient. Somewhat cheaper than the Fat Duck round the corner but it definitely does a job at a medium end if the scale.

    We enjoyed a delicious three course meal while staying at the hotel and loved every course. Our starters and desserts were particularly original and delicious. My husband is coeliac and he was very well looked after, food was adjusted to be gluten free where needed and he enjoyed a great meal too. Our waiter was also lovely and very attentive. Thank you Monkey Island team :)

    The room was very cold and they weren't able to turn off the aircondition We had reserved a table and when we came, we were met by a rather unfriendly " you can't change tables, they are all allocated and we are very busy" it was totally unnecessary, we had no intentions of "changing table". Another waiter soon diffused that though and for the rest of the evening, the service was very friendly albeit not very professional (the wine didn't arrive until we were well into our meal and the side of potatoes came when we were almost finished eating. The food itself was fantastic!!! so five stars to the chef. The wrong kind of music was playing just a bit too loud. The venue and location is fantastic. The main attraction, I'd say.

    Staying at Hotel so had dinner there. Initially felt the menu was a little predictable, but the food was very good. I had prawn cocktail, which was a good size portion and very tasty. The duck breast main course was beautifully pink and the fish and chips excellent. Service was friendly and competent. Angelina was particularly lovely. The only drawback was that it was very noisy, with a large group sitting close to us. Otherwise a very pleasant evening.

    Very nice meal with friends - short menu but excellent quality throughout. We had duck and daily special sea bream for mains - both were very good. Fairly slow service but lovely setting overlooking the river and we were in no hurry. Good value for money given the quality.

    Brasserie decor was very stylish ,outside terrace over looking the river was very interesting and comfortable. Waiting staff were very over stretched and worked extremely hard. The wine I chose was not available, although the white wine list was very short. I chose another glass which was awful, but I was able to exchange it . The starter and main was excellent and my husbands dessert . I opted for cheese which was served so hard I could not get my knife through the cheddar. I complained and was told by the chef it was the new health and safety rules. I was offered another pudding but I chose a coffee for us both and it was taken off the bill. I would return again as it was a very nice place to dine and I’m sure this may have been a one off.
