we have always found the culinary experience gorings and are back and back. we even went during covid when loud. post covid his like the chandeliers: oh! I hope that all will be improved in the coming months as the dinge to covid will return to a better place.

Despite the restaurant being mostly empty, the staff chose to seat all diners in one area, crammed closely together. It would have been more enjoyable to have some space between tables. Additionally, the maitre d' handled my complaint about the duck unprofessionally. Overall, I was not impressed with my experience at this restaurant.

We arrived at 7:30 pm for our reservation, only to realize that I had mistakenly booked it for 7:30 am. Due to the restaurant being fully booked, we were initially prepared to dine elsewhere. However, a table became available and we were able to enjoy a fantastic meal. The service, food quality, and atmosphere were outstanding, making for a delightful evening. View menu

Food and staff are delightful! Special without being stuffy. The room is beautiful, even with its marmite chandeliers.

The main course was delicious, but at that point, we were ready to go. With the inflated prices on wine, our total bill came to £275. Overall, it was not good value for the money we spent.

My husband and I went to the Goring restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We found it to have more of a hotel restaurant feel, with a stuffy atmosphere. We started with cocktails in the bar, which took about 20 minutes to arrive. My spritzer was watery and rose-flavored. Our starter was tasty but small - be aware that when they say "Orkney scallop," they mean one scallop for £24. We then waited another 20 minutes for our main courses to arrive, by which time we were quite hungry. The guineafowl and lamb main courses were very good. The service was okay, but not exceptional. Our main issue was with the sommelier, who seemed uninterested and focused more on pairing a red wine with m... View menu
