Thames View Restaurant And Bar

The great thing about this spot is the view of the Thames River from their upstairs deck. The restaurant is always packed. Service is friendly. But the food is just mediocre and not impressive esp. for the price. Ordered the Mushroom Tagliatelle £12.50) very bland and boring ... I actually had to add salt n pepper. My colleague enjoyed her Chicken Avocado Salad though. We also shared the Peach Melba dessert £6.95) canned peaches, meringue and vanilla ice cream ... very disappointing. I'd probably recommend this spot more for drinks than for the food. No lunch specials, and they have breakfast/brunch until 12pm on weekends.

My wife and I stopped in here for breakfast on a Friday morning before heading to Windsor Castle. I noticed that there are quite a few subpar reviews of the Browns, but they look to be from several years ago, so I thought I'd give an updated review. Our experience was top notch! When you enter, you're greeted with lightly playing jazz piano in the background. There is great lighting, patio seating, and plenty of tables for even a busy morning. My wife ordered the smashed Avocado Toast with eggs and I ordered the traditional English breakfast....the best breakfast we've had in the UK so far- the sausage and bacon was somewhat smoked and not at all too salty. The breakfast was also very reasonably priced, about £20 for two with coffee's. Considering that an average hotel breakfast is about £12, this is a much better alternative! I'd give the service just a 4/5 though as they are a bit slow to bring the bill after they've cleared the table. To be fair though, that's not abnormal in the UK. Atmosphere- 5/5 Value- 5/5 Flavor- 5/5 Service- 4/5

Nice vibe in the bar area but they have jazz on loop and the food is really really disappointing and wayyy over-priced. I ordered a teriyaki chicken kebab as a starter and it came out literally as 2 little tiny strips of chicken and small salad garnish. Not in skewers and no cutlery and they expect you to eat it with your fingers. Very weird. All the main menus sound ok but I saw them on other peoples tables and they look very ordinary. Drinks sit on tables in the bar area forever as well. No one cleans them up right away.

This is a restaurant and a bar. I visited the bar/pub side one afternoon then went back for dinner the next night on the restaurant side. The food is delicious and they have a special menu if you get there prior to 7pm during the week. I added a photo so take a look. 2 items for 12.95 (pounds for my American friends so do the math) The steak is an extra charge, but less than 2 pounds. I 'd give it 5 stars but both times I went in the staff couldn 't get my order correct. They were friendly and attentive but just a bit of a language barrier. I speak English and they do in Great Britain but many of the staff comes from other countries and English is an added language. Again, they were kind but waiting for a corrected order while a friend has theirs isn 't fun. I ordered the butternut soup and it was spot on , delicious and almost a meal in itself. I was almost full just from eating the soup. It was super yummy but I did add a little bit more salt and pepper but I do like things extra seasoned. I ordered the Steak Frits for the main. The steak was cooked perfect and super delicious. It came topped with a garlic butter seasoning on top and with a little side of salad on the plate. It was a really delicious meal and the dessert menu looked amazing but I was completely stuffed. This location is amazing. On one side you can see the Windsor Castle from the hilltop above. On the other side you can see the River Thames as well as the river cruise boats passing by. This is a great location and I would have loved to sit outside but it was February and too cold. There is also a second level (upper deck) which is probably amazing also. .

I can see where diners would be annoyed with the family atmosphere. It's got a definite quiet more romantic vibe then every table has a child full of energy trying to make it through dinner with their family. The lamb meatballs were good. Sauce was amazing. My burrata ravioli special was great. The half chicken was cooked perfect. The butternut squash side was amazing. I'm a fan.
