"Back in the day this used to be an excellent Italian restaurant. The lighting and ambiance made for a calming and romantic setting, it is now somewhat stark, brightly lit with little atmosphere (despite being full). Whilst the menu reads well enough (I like restaurants with few choices), the execution was just not good enough. Burrata starters were mediocre at best… Whilst my flank steak was a good size and broadly cooked well it was over, the fries were seemingly cooked in dirty oil and probably from frozen, the creamed cabbage was disgusting. My wife and daughters had pasta dishes, the Cacio Pepe was a miserly portion and the seafood pasta tasteless. The wine list has evaporated and limited, the Soave just about adequate at £55, the Chianti Classico at £85 was shocking, thin and miserable despite the quality producer… a total rip off. I hired the whole restaurant for a birthday 10yrs ago because we loved it so much, it was genuinely excellent. This time around it is not good enough which is very sad to say. Every step was 2 stars at best, except the waitress who was polite, helpful and smiley. Am loathed to criticise, I just hope some. Price is taken to tweak it back to life! We need good restaurants in the area."

I ate this restaurant tonight. I have to say I am in shock. It was really amazing on every level. Richmond is the other side of town fro me but I am going back as soon as I can. It was incredible.

We came here to celebrate my friend’s graduation and I was thoroughly impressed. I do wish there was an option to have a larger bowl of pasta because that’s what I really wanted. Next time I’ll be sure to try the bigger mains.

Fabulous atmosphere excellent service. Started with linguine mussels out of this world. I would return just for that alone. Followed by an Aubergine dish which in fairness was more like a starter and no comparison to the mussels linguine and a panacotta for desert which was fine.

Modern upmarket feel to this Italian restaurant. Excellent service, good range of mains and home cooked desserts. You can hear the kitchen which we enjoy as it’s part of the experience. Wine felt a little expensive, but the Veneto was perfectly acceptable. Having said that, it’s just across the bridge from Richmond.

We’d highly recommend trying this local Italian restaurant. A beautiful piece of halibut, with asparagus and capers (a generous portion), was cooked seasoned to perfection. A warm welcome from the young and enthusiastic owners helped to create a great ambience. Fresh table linen and elegant wine glasses always add something to the enjoyment of a meal. Top marks We will be back.

"Obon: a petit Japanese udon restaurant that supplies a sense of Japan that cannot be found anywhere else in the whole of the Uk. (5 stars) Location: Obon is located close to the heart of Kingston but the road it’s on is considerably quieter. You must make sure to have a basic knowledge of Kingston in order to find an area to park and to also make sure you leave yourself enough time, taking the unpredictability of the traffic into acount. Even on a week day there can be traffic jams which can put a halt to your plans and due to the small amount of customers Obon can take its important that you not only book but make sure that you arrive at the agreed booking time. With this being said the staff are all lovely so if you are running late, a quick call is all that is required to just give Obon a chance to understand your position. The food: The array of exquisitely prepared sashimi will be sure to create the sensation that you are in a top Japanese restaurant in japan and the flavour of the fish does not fail to match expectations, which will be very high after just one glance at your meal. The fish is delicately seasoned and practically melts on your tongue, this causes a lovely sensation and is genuinely the finest sushi I have tasted in the uk and even matches a lot of the top restaurants in japan. On top of just the traditional types of sushi, which to many is maki rolls Obon also offers many other delicious options such as soft shell crab and even Unagi don, which I must highly recommend due to it consistently being the highlight of my meal. For those of you that were interested in the quality of the basic Japanese dishes such as miso soup or edamame they do not fail to leave you in grand anticipation for what is to come for they are, simply speaking, incredibly good. The miso, in my opinion, is truly remarkable and creates a lasting feeling of warmth throughout your entire body, on top of that it is far superior to other miso’s that I have tasted in all other areas of the world. Overall the quality of the food is something you would expect from a world famous Michelin star restaurant and if you want Japanese food it’s the only place I can recommend. The Restaurant: The restaurant itself is small but authentic in nature and because it only has a enough tables to host around 20 people at the most, the service is exceptionally good and your food is always out quickly so you will not be left hungry for very long. The staff are kind and friendly. And it’s always an enjoyable experience being waves goodbye as you leave the restaurant. You’re also able to watch as they prepare the food, which for some could be entertaining. There are Japanese photos scattered around the room and this further creates an authentic feel. The atmosphere is not lively but it is a restaurant and not a bar so is an ideal location if you are wanting high quality food. With this being said it is still a great place to go with friends and I consistently am able to have a great time no matter the occasion. Price: Obviously, the price of the food is always an important topic to come to and despite the cost of the sushi being slightly higher than you may expect from a small restaurant in Kingston, I would have to say that for the quality of the food it is ultimately a bargain. For three people, you would be spending around £100 so it isn’t cheap but you can go for cheaper types of food such as udon, which is still amazing quality and won’t set you back as much money. Overall: Obon is still my favourite restaurant in the whole of the Uk and is perfect for a special occasion but it isn’t the sort of place you’d go for a casual night out. The food is beyond incredible and thus they can cater for both children and adults by meeting every bodies needs. For anybody that enjoys sushi, I would urge you to give it a go, you won’t regret it"
