The food was amazing and cooked perfectly. Our waiter, Jake, was funny and attentive. Restaurant is small so noise level was a bit high but I could still have conversation with my table easily.

Fantastic menu front to back - incredible assortment of highly seasonal ingredients that were largely locally foraged. Michael was personable, well versed on the menu and offered great insight to the philosophy of the restaurant. Definitely a new neighborhood regular spot. Thanks Regards team.

Thames Landing was close to our hotel and have it a shot. We were very happy with the food- I had the smash burger which was delicious and my wife had the pasta with lobster and she said it was perfect. Service was on point- very nice and was attentive. The ambience could be a bit better/ the lighting was a shade too light in my opinion but overall was a great experience and we would go back.
