Bingham Restaurant - Richmond

Very good food and wine, beautifully presented. the special three-course lunch offer was very good.

I usually don't write reviews, but today we had such a terrible culinary experience in what is inherited as the place in richmond. our starter drinks lasted 30 minutes to arrive despite 2 bar staff .. the starter was tiny makrele two very small pieces .. and the main took over 2.5 hours to operate even though they asked several times. we ordered the wine pairing menu and because eating was delayed so that the wee was paired with wrong food ... service staff was late and confused ... and had no control over the kitchen. a waste of day and money. is not warned again.

Beware on Fridays and Saturdays you can only have the taster menu which works about 7 courses with their add ons. Otherwise faultless.

It was Friday evening and the restaurant was half empty, which sent alarm bells. I was expecting exceptional food. It was okay, some dishes were very good, but my main was underwhelming, and deserts average ….we had the tasting menu and wine to go along side. I wouldn’t suggest doing the wine, portions were minimal for a hefty £75 per person) Meal came to £400 for two and we left feeling dissatisfied. We did mention to the manager that we were a little disappointed and she kindly removed the service charge. We won’t recommend this place nor go back, which is unfortunate.

I am glad I found this place for my daughter's birthday. Everything was excellent. Now, good food doesn't come cheap, but it was a valuable one-off experience that made her day special and the lunch menu deal came at a good price, considering all. I would happily go back and try the rest of the menu items which we could not try out this time. The food was of superior quality.
