   Friendly, welcoming vibe with top-quality food. The beef roast did not disappoint and everyone enjoyed their starter, main and dessert equally. Patricia our server offered a friendly banter. Highly recommend the Tropical Express cocktail.

   Best restaurant in Staines - this is the breath of fresh air that the town needs to move on from the relentless number of chain restaurants coming and going in the area. Food is creative, impeccably prepared and thoughtfully presented. The service from a young team is outstanding - many restaurants could learn from the training and care provided.

   Spent Mothers Day at Cornelian, treating my family to a celebratory meal. It was fantastic! We had 3 courses and they were all wonderful! The staff were really attentive. They worked as a team and we felt really well looked after. I didn’t catch all their names apart from Sophie. I highly recommend Cornelian. A great venue for a special occasion or just for a great bite to eat. Their Sunday Roasts are top notch! See you there! We’ll be going back!

   Easily the best place to eat and drink in Staines, along with it's sister restaurant Corneli's. Delicious food, and amazing cocktails. The staff can't do enough for you either. We find ourselves celebrating every event at one of these two restaurants.

   Our first time dining at The Cornelian, after it catching my eye when driving past (lovely plants in the windows, and always appears to be busy). Popped in after work to suss it out, and really glad we did. Amongst us were several large group tables, food was really good, generous portions, and excellent, friendly service. Will definitely recommend and revisit in the future.

   We love the cornelian, the food is all fresh (no microwaves here) and tastes great. Favourites are the Malaysian chicken skewers and mussels. Portions are generous and the staff, especially Sophie are all so friendly and helpful. We really hope this restaurant stays around for a long time!

   The staff here are totally on the ball - excellent service - the food is of a very high standard if a little expensive with something to suit everyone’s taste.

   Fantastic welcome, took our coats, very chatty and informative staff. Amazing good quality food that wasn’t overpriced. The restaurant has an upbeat but relaxed feel and is very welcoming for the whole family. We will definitely be back!

    8 family members for a roast dinner. Fantastic 10/10 all round to the extent that we have compliments to the chef. Would love to return!
