Thames View Restaurant And Bar

The service was satisfactory, but it didn't measure up to the high standards we've come to expect. Additionally, the ambiance was rather lackluster, which was surprising given the restaurant's beautiful cosmopolitan setting. Finding parking in Windsor can be quite challenging; however, with a bit of searching, we were able to find a spot. Just be sure to have £1 coins on hand for the meter, or you might find yourself in trouble! Would we return? No; there are plenty of better dining options closer to the castle.

My friends took me to this restaurant after we explored Windsor, and it made for a delightful spot for a leisurely lunch. There was a bit of confusion about whether we could sit in the bar area, and whether we had to order at the bar or if table service was available. However, our waitress was wonderful and very attentive. The scallop starter was excellent, and the lamb shepherd's pie was equally impressive. To top it off, the pineapple dessert with coconut ice cream was absolutely delicious!

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.

We stopped by for a few drinks. It's quite a big place decored in typical bar style. While we didn't get a chance to sit on the patio due to the rain, we had seating by the open doors overlooking the patio which was nice. The atmosphere of the restaurant with the high ceilings was a good place to be. We had some beers and wine while there so can recommend this place for a drink. Parents: High chairs and change table!
