I am eating in this restaurant since it opened few years ago. Overall I would highly recommend. Food is good quality and priced well like for Doubletree restaurant and the area of Kingston upon Thames.
There is plenty of restaurants in the area ... I think that this one is worth trying, definitely convenient when staying at the hotel.
They refresh the menu every so often, I really like recent update to bar menu with pizza choice and snacks. Pizza is excellent!
I will return.

Had a great afternoon tea herewith with my grandmother. We got a great deal with Groupon and will definitely be coming back. The gluten and milk free selection was also excellent. Very well thought out and simple. The staff where very friendly and there is a car work opposite

We had lunch here on a Monday. The food and service were excellent, and the restaurant modern. We would recommend it. Our starters were good, then for main I had the "dirty burger" (cheese and bacon burger) and my wife had the chicken breast, both excellent. The waitress found out it was my birthday and decorated my banoffee pie pudding accordingly (she even did a solo singing effort!). Excellent.
Kids meals looked good value, so we will be going back with them.
Friday they were advertising a £1 Flat White offer, so would be worth checking that out too if you just fancy a coffee.

We visited there after a long walk by the river, this is a great place to catch up with friends if you prefer a quieter environment in the afternoon. The club sandwich and pizza we had was very nice.

Came in for 2x brunch with my fiancee, full english breakfast.

The food was quite poor quality (undercooked fried eggs, bacon, mushy avocado, bland mushrooms... at least the toast was nice?), and very expensive for what it was.

The reason I'm writing the review, is that not even 2 hours after eating here, I came down with pretty bad stomach pain and temperature until today. I don't get sick easily, and this was the only food that I ate up to the point that I was sick. So safe to say, we won't be back. Which is a shame, cos I live 2 mins away from this place.

Really great location, made me forget I was in London and have me that business trip feel. The receptionist, bar staff and hotel manager Sam were really friendly and helpful and went the extra mile for exceptional service. Highly recommended and will definitely be returning for food

Good but could do a little better. Everyone was polite and friendly and the food was amazing. My steak was well cooked, and full of flavour. I definitely enjoyed eating it.

It just felt a little cold and unwelcoming in the restaurant itself. No-one really checked in on you unless you managed to grab someone at the bar for a table, and then it felt like you were disrupting their job. But the food definitely was good and as a group it would probably work well that you weren’t constantly checked on.

We've been there with my work colleagues for Christmas party on 10/12/2022. It was a large group of 28 people.

Positive:
-nice interior design
-dance floor with DJ
-good wine

Negative:
-The dinner supposed to start at 7.45pm, however the food was late.
-OVERPRICED poor quality food
-Long time waiting for food
-The staff collected food from all of us not even finishing it from the plate. For example, my colleague was served with the main dish after me left his food for 5mins and it was gone. Overall, he had his main meal for 15mins on the table.
-I've ordered vegetable soup for the starters which was ok and turkey for the main which was DRY.
-Now, the worse part. The dessert was late. Most of us got bored of waiting, went to dance floor for 10mins when came back still nothing on the table. I haven't had my cranberry cheesecake which I thought will resolve a miserable taste left in my mouth from the dry turkey. I haven't even seen how it looks like as it was never been served. When I went to speak with the manager (to get my dessert back) I was informed that the kitchen was now closed and they can't do anything about it. He ensured me it was served, but he thinks it was eaten by one of my colleagues. I wonder now, which ones? Are those who's been dancing with me together?

My impression is, the kitchen was in rush to finish work on time even though they're the ones who served us food late. It could explain why the food was served only for 15mins not letting people to finish.
Btw, we've booked this meal ages ago. Now, from the management side, why don't you get enough staff on that day? I don't think it's fair for customers to experience this awful service.Don't want to come back there again, unless they improve. Waste of money...
