Our first time at Thompson and it more than stood up to it's reviews; From stepping in the door the staff were excellent and welcoming, the food, accompanying wine and explanations of what we were eating great and all well presented - I'll be back for the 7 courses next! I wish you continued success.

Absolutely wonderful evening with Amy at this fabulous restaurant! I had a challenge with local parking which the restaurant mgt helped me out with even before our evening began... When it was time for me to take breath, we enjoyed fabulous bar and dining rooms. For me, the cuisine was exquisit , service exceptional (serving staff always wore a smile and went to great effort to explain the 'make up' / composition of every dish !!) If you want a special evening out with your partner at St Albans, you will find anywhere else hard to best Thompsons!!

This is a true occasion restaurant. You will get something special here unlike anywhere else in St Albans. Had the tasting menu. It was fabulous. The service was first class. Can’t fault the place. Yes it is expensive but you get what you pay for.

Did the 7 course taster menu. It was excellent. Two of our party did the wine pairing and were very impressed. As the driver I tried the alcohol free cocktails and the No-ito was superb.

Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. The service is excellent, the food an incredible journey of unexpected tastes and textures, and the overall atmosphere is both calm but warm and inviting. Highly highly highly recommend. When you eat food this good, you wonder why we should put up with ever eating badly.

Exquisite dishes cooked to perfection. I’m surprised this doesn’t have a Michelin Star already. It won’t be long I’m sure. Excellent service and wine choices with the 7 course tasting menu (although I would avoid the ‘orange’ wine - a current fad)

Booked very last minute but received a very warm welcome from all of the staff. The cocktails are amazing, the food is delicious, served by passionate and knowledgeable staff. The tasting menus are well worth the price, I will definitely be back. Thank you!!

Had an amazing time at this lovely restaurant. Even the bread and butter was something else! Had a 7 course tasting menu with a wine flight. We had both vegetarian and non vegetarian menus. Everything was clearly explained and some very interesting facts with the wine flight about where the wines come from. The member of staff was really knowledgeable and was able to answer questions about them too. The food was amazing. One member of the group, who described themselves as a fussy eater, was surprised with the flavours and things he would eat and actually enjoyed. We would definitely go back.

Came here for lunch to celebrate a special occasion with a friend. Great service and friendly staff. The food was nice but unsure if it’s worth the ££££ price tag - perhaps dinner would have been more appropriate? Overall a pleasant experience and would revisit for the full tasting menu!

Perfect service and a brilliant a la carte menu. Enjoyed the very rich prawn starter, delicious ox cheek main but the standout was a mind blowingly excellent pineapple desert! Will definitely be back for a special occasion. Only criticism is the dining rooms look quite drab - tired chairs and depressing paint, decor and lighting. ‘Food and service more than makes up for this!
