Restaurant Noel

When my wife said she wanted to go to a restaurant for her birthday with a range of our friends, I instantly suggested we get a table at Restaurant Noel.

Our food was fantastic - everyone in our party of 14 raved about their food! But I expected that because I had entertained there before. What I didn't really expect was the warm and generous welcome we all recieved. We were the last party to leave, but there was no sense of being rushed out.

My wife raved for a good 30 minutes when we got home about how wonderful the evening had been.

Sergio and Noel, you guys made me look great. Thanks so much!!

We went here for a family meal back in August. We had dinner and the food was amazing. We loved the steak and frites. The service was excellent., very attentive but not in your face. The food wasn't cheap but well worth the money.

We were very disappointed with both the meal and the service we recieved. Unfortunately we had to complain about our meal as it was overcooked, it was recieved in a very aggressive manner by the owner himself. We won't be returning.

Amazing food - top quality ingredients beautifully cooked. Unbelievable value. Just wish I lived in the area because I'd be there every week.

Found ourselves in Teddington at lunchtime one Friday and chose this ordinary looking restuarant for its menu and prices. Despite it getting busy the place was quiet and pleasant and the service unrushed and attentive. The food was perfect, an excellent 3 course for two with drinks at £49, even with the supplement for Sole and rib-eye! Would recommend, especially for business lunches. Wouldn't hesitate to eat here again.

We have been here many many times, and NEVER been disappointed. The cooking is excellent, the service attentive, and prices excellent value..especially the shortened menu before 7.30pm.

We were introduced to this restuarant by some good friends of ours who had been before and found it to be very good value for money.

We had a very enjoyable experience finding the service friendly , efficient and the food freshly served with the minimum of fuss.

I recall a large and noisy party close to us , but it was no trouble to move us to a quieter area , even though we had begun our starter.

The wine list was very reasonable and a not overly priced. all in all a good evening and we have just booked again taking some friends who are keen to try something new.

Dined at Noel last night and we both enjoyed our meals. Every course was freshly cooked with a good selection of inventive dishes, keenly priced. Spent under £60 including drinks which is a bargain for food of this quality. Great service throughout and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

We booked for mother's day. Three of us, one a two year old. In a restaurant plainly not booked out, we were stuck in a dimly lit back corner near an out of service toilet. We were stuck on a table for two. Apparently our son did not qualify for full person status despite the fact he needs a chair and a space on which to put his plate.

We asked to be moved because of the location and size of our table and recieved blank rudeness, frankly. Our request was completely refused. We could sit at another table for two about three feet away (I kid you not) or tough, sit where you are. We left.

Our treatment was a disgrace. Noel must be doing very well indeed to be happy to turn away customers in a recession. We will never go there again. We will recommend our friends never go there. If you want bad service and a restaurant not interested in keeping its customers happy, then Noel is the place for you.

But don't go there. Go to Retro a few doors up which is wonderful. We ended up in Loch Fyne a few minutes drive away who sorted their restuarant to find us a table even though they were very busy. That is service. That is bothering to be decent.

The manager at Noel this Sunday last should be ashamed of himself. I'm going to mark everything low as we didn't even get to the food. The atmosphere was like a morgue at 12.30 pm. Service diabolical and value for money, well, who cares?

Disgraceful.

First time for us, food was very tasty, authentic french cuisine with a touch of innovation. Service was well timed without being rushed. Under £60 for 3 courses for two people including glasses of wine and coffee - good value. Overall we thought a good experience We will return.
