Superb fine dining experience in a stunning conservatory. The perfect birthday meal for my girlfriend. Great service, polite and never intrusive. Already booked a return visit.

After a bit of a palaver with booking (they can be difficult to reach by phone!) we had a genuinely lovely dinner for my father's birthday. The menu is short but excellent (go for La Carte, it's great value for a tasting menu) but I would say this plays to their advantage in terms of fresh ingredients and the care taken over each dish - the food is fresh and delicious. We especially loved the little canapés between each course. The room we were in was divine, with flowers on the ceiling and huge windows looking into a tranquil garden - small, but never felt cramped or loud. The service was wonderful. We haven't been to the restaurant since it changed from a fish restaurant a few years back, but would definitely go again.

Had a lovely evening celebrating a birthday. Chose the four course option, with a couple of extra courses thrown in by the chef. Food was superb. Service was good, although a little too fast - felt like there wasn't much time between courses. Beautiful setting.

Despite the staff trying very hard our visit was very disappointing. It was a Saturday night yet there were so few customers they sat us all in the conservatory not the main restaurant. The menu was very limited, we went A la carte which had a set price of £55 a head yet three of the dishes carried a supplement. There were 3 of us and the bill was £318, we had a bottle of Gavi de Gavi and an aperitif each - very expensive! It's a real shame as Cobham and Esher needs more special restaurants for special occasions.

I booked on 5th April and they cancelled my booking on 27th May as they had a private event taking place. So I cannot review them except to say their organisation is abysmal as it took them nearly 8 weeks to realise their error. It was my father's 86th birthday and we were looking forward to a special experience. I've given an average rating as I don't want to unduly skew their reviews and by all accounts the food is wonderful.

The whole dining experience was lovely food delicious the only thing to let it down was the cheese board. It came served on a plate with some fruit bread would be nicer to maybe have a cheese trolley so u could select what you like and also a range of crackers and chutneys apart from that a lovely evening.
