Fantastic! Elegant yet relaxed vibe with some of the best bites you will ever put into your mouth! Sam’s Riverside is a special spot right on the river Thames. Thoughtfully and artfully curated with local ingredients. Every bite was delicious. Ivan at the bar took great care...an elevated dining experience. I only wish we lived closer! Cheers Vern

We decided to walk in to Sam’s Riverside as we wanted some drinks and we were sat on a table in the waiting area which was still quite nice and the service was just as good! We had 2 delicious Aperol Spritz then the sourdough bread and beef tartare which was absolutely delicious! Later we moved to the beautiful bar and we and the bartenders were lovely and super efficient! They were super helpful and gave great food and drink recommendations! We had quite a few different cocktails and all were top standard, we will definitely be back!

Excellent location, ambience and food. Service was extremely friendly but they did forget a drinks order and twice two different waiters came to ask the same thing, so tiny lack of coordination. Would definitely return.

This was our third visit to the restaurant. We enjoy the food tremendously each time, and the service is friendly and efficient. The setting is superb, right next to the river. This is a kitchen which is very capable and highly consistent. Update: two further visits with excellent food on each occasion.

Beautiful venue by the river. Inventive and exciting food, lovely service, very romantic. I would go again when in the area. The cucumber cocktail was great too! The savoury souffle was my favourite

Went there with my daughter and we both had the best meal and dining experience. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant in its beautiful setting to everyone. Thank you Sam’s Riverside for making it a very memorable evening for my daughter and I.

Delightful experience. Fabulous service- we arrived early (just before opening) and were warmly greeted & seated by the manager and attended to quickly our super friendly waitress. Nothing was too much trouble! The drinks were fabulous- cocktails could do with better presentation but were truly delicious! The food was exquisite- every plate as good as the last and we tried 8 dishes- the crab toast and sea trout were my winners but it was a close call! Beautifully presented with fresh, tasty ingredients that were skilfully put together. They do add a charity donation and 13.5% service charge but well deserved as all the staff were attentive and knowledgeable. Highly recommended and would love to return
