This is true gem in Surbiton and I feel lucky that we have such an exquisite treat on our door steps. The food was exquisite and the service is impeccable and I think very fair in price and value. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this place as everything about it is really special. The people who look after you are knowledgable and personable and nothing is too much trouble. You get excellent advice on pairing wines to go with your dishes and the whole experience is effortless and memorable. Have been doing an annual trip for Christmas for a few years now and have been on the odd ocassion at other times and will continue to do this as each time the experience is amazing.

Another reliably good experience at TFT. Pate and mussel marmite starters were really good. Hake and special beef were fine too. Excellent service as always. Prices have drifted up a bit, but that's inevitable.

As ever TFT delivers an excellent experience. We had the Christmas dinner tasting menu which overall was excellent. The staff continue to be outstanding, polite and professional. I recommend TFT to everyone who listens. Year after year it maintains its standards and is always an enjoyable day.

I have lived in the area for a year and I wonder why it has taken me so long to visit this wonderful restaurant. Having lived previously in Wimbledon, nothing there compares. Friendly and attentive service, excellent food and a decent and well priced wine list. Nothing to fault at all other than the difficulty of booking a table at short notice- but that’s the price of quality!
