Preliminary Grade: This restaurant has only 89 reviews, which is below our 100-review minimum for reliable grading. This grade should be considered preliminary until more reviews are available. Maria G's delivers grade A performance through exceptional food quality—particularly celebrated Sunday roasts and steaks—paired with attentive, welcoming service and appealing riverside setting.
Set along the Thames, the room feels warm and bustling without the crowd crush, a place where servers glide rather than rush and the terrace draws you outside on sunny days. Guests talk about being "looked after from start to finish," and the setting reads as calm and polished rather than scene-y. Expect river views, comfortable seating, and a relaxed pace that suits lingering. The cooking leans elevated comfort with seasonal British cues: roasts, steaks, and well-sourced fish with tidy plating over theatrics. Diners praise the roasts for precise doneness and crisp potatoes, while specials like halibut or trout show care and sourcing. Portions are honest and pricing matches the quality and location, though bar bills can climb if you stack cocktails; this is a modern brasserie where execution beats flash. Families fit right in: the Sunday roast format is kid-friendly by design, and desserts like rhubarb tarts or chocolate mousse land well. There is no formal kids menu on the seasonal card, but the mains are familiar and staff are accommodating; picky eaters will find safe options like roast turkey or fish and chips, while adventurous teens might lean into the specials.

The Sunday roast is the must-order, but the Parma ham turkey, Scottish Salmon en Croute and seared scallops are also standouts.
Dress smart-casual, book roasts in advance, and be prepared for a service charge and pricey bar tabs.
