    Skillfully curated menu and drinks list, paired with beautifully presented and eye-rollingly delicious dishes. Worth spending an entire month's supermarket budget in one sitting. Great service.

    We went for a birthday meal and had the tasting menu and the wine flight. Absolutely wonderful. The wine pairings worked beautifully and the food was delicious. As ever the service was friendly and efficient. Another great experience at the French Table.

    We went for lunch. It was perfect. A great lunch menu (the veal tartare was a stand out). A good wine list and lots of bottles in ½ litre carafes. Staff professional and attentive. No wonder it necessary to book in advance and no wonder it was busy on a Wednesday lunchtime. I’ll be taking the train to Surbiton again!
