    I have always found the food and wine at the French Table to be outstanding and the attention to detail is amazing - the welcome was warm and sympathetic, service was prompt without rushing and without being obsequious, wine was at the perfect temperature ( both red and white) portions not too big not too small… tasted amazing throughout… Of course this is not cheap but definitely worth it for special occasions !

    This was the best meal I have eaten for years. The taste of the food was wonderful and faultless and the presentation sheer perfection. By far the best restaurant in the North Surrey/South West London area, probably one of the best restaurants in the entire country. Given the quality of the food it is inexpensive. Go there.

    Another excellent meal at the French table. Great food and wine, exceptional service. The restaurant manages to provide the perfect mix of formality and friendliness, a warm welcome, knowledgeable staff, a relaxed and unhurried meal. Quite rare these days.

    We are long-standing customers of The French Table. We had the Tasting Menu which had seven courses each one being superb, the best being the last with a quite superb pistachio cheesecake. The service was very attentive and were excellent in clearing up after I had accidentally spilled my glass of wine with the minimum Of fuss.

    Another excellent experience. Went with the tasting menu - lovely dishes throughout. Perhaps a little salty. Friendly, efficient and helpful service all the way
