Mediterranevm at Bray — Restaurant in England

Having tried most of the Mediterranean and Italian restaurants in and around Windsor we thought of giving this restaurants a try. It was 3 of us and we were the first people at noon on a Saturday. Everyone was very nice, showed us to our table which was the highlight of the experience because it was right by the river and took our drinks order. The Aperol Spritz and sparkling water for the others were fine and I just wanted a nice cold Moretti as it was a really hot day but unfortunately the beer wasn't really cold at all but since I gulped half of it the moment it touched the table I didn't send it back but told the waitress. Starters were OK and out of the 3 mains the monk fish was nice, my penne al Salmone was OK and my wife's linguini allo scoglio was below average in flavour and seashells. In the meantime the restaurant filled up quite a bit and the service just dropped completely as suddenly the bigger tables became more important than ours. Managed to get the dessert menu but instead decided to skip dessert and ordered 3 espresso and 1 Limoncello. After waiting for over 20 minutes I called the waiter to just get us the bill and forget about the rest. He rushed to the bar and came back instantly with the tray of espresso and Limoncello which i said I didn't want as it was probably sitting there for a while. He wasn't happy about it and came back with the bill and the Limoncello which he said its on the house. I didn't want it but my friend said he'll have it and it was warm, just to show how long it was sitting at the bar. I have a feeling we won't be going again which is a shame as the location is really nice but I love food more that...

Really nice food, service was good,one junior waiter wasn't wearing his mask properly, but generally good place will definitely go back.Had the truffle pasta, really good.

So a return visit today booked 7pm. We arrived early and were show to our seats, we had a fantastic view of the river. There was some work being done outside,still unfinished and bit scruffy,with a drip coming down fairly constantly. On the whole, we had two servers one blonde lady and one brunette. We ordered a mixed starter,it was very nice indeed and a good portion. Then the mains.... so we were trying to order a child's portion , and our blonde waitress was a very sturdy NO. Despite trying to explain that one of us was few days post surgery. We ended up ordering a side dish of Greek salad, it was a little disappointing, to be honest. What was more disappointing was the reaction of or blonde waitress. A very rude young lady. Her attitude was dreadful. The brunette waitress was fantastic and was always polite and helpful. The other mains were a burger, not bad, truffle fries... ok, ish. And my wife had middle Eastern chicken, and the taste was very good indeed. Then puddings, one scoop of ice-cream with ice crystals, one tiramisu, and a raspberry cheesecake. All in all maybe...

Experience was appalling from start to finish. They couldn't get the mojito drink correct to start with. It was so sour the first time that we sent it back, then they came back with another one which was even worse than the first. They then had the cheek to say " you obviously don't drink a lot of Mojitos to know how it is supposed to taste ". Starters were fine, but then our main course came out and went to the wrong table. I had ordered the lambshank with rosemary gravy. The chef obviously never tastes anything before it leaves the kitchen because the gravy was so salty that it ruined the rest of the taste of the meal. They took that away to replace the gravy. Well when it came back they had definitely replaced the gravy with one that resembled dirty water scooped out of the dishwasher. It was a light runny brown tasteless substance, so that went back. God knows what the chef was thinking with that one !! I then plumped for a seafood tagliatelle which was a vast improvement, but by now we had had enough and couldn't wait to leave. We certainly won't be going back...
