Superb food and service. The standard wine flight with the tasting menu was £55 for 3 small amounts of reasonably good wine, which is very poor value. Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp for access at the front door. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

The 3 course lunch menu was superb with little snacks in between to heighten the experience. Staff were extremely friendly/ attentive and this was a really enjoyable and great experience. It is such a shame that L’Ortolan is closing at the end of August we are considering a return visit as well worth visiting before then
Every time I go to l'Ortolan, I wonder if it will be as good as the previous times and it always is! The food is absolutely delectable, the wine list incredible, teh ambience perfect, the Sommelier knowledgeable and helpful and the staff courteous and attentive without being intrusive. Nothing is too much trouble. We particularly loved the heritage tomato and halibut courses in the tasting menu. I am so sorry that this jewel of the Berkshire countryside is closing after all this time.
