    First time at the Cornelian, so didn't really know what to expect. There is a good range of items on the menu and the food was great. Service by Sophie was excellent, with recommendations on drinks and food will be coming back

    Quality food and drink with great service in an excellent location. Drinks are rather on the expensive side, however.

    So impressed with the food at The Cornelian. This place, and Corneli's are my fave restaurants in Staines. Quality food & service at such a reasonable price. The cocktails are the best in the area as well. Highly recommend the Salted Caramel & Hazlenut espresso martini that waitress Sophie made for us.

    We had the Christmas Party menu and the food was fantastic! Can particularly recommend the Chicken Liver Parfait, Slow braised shin of beef and the chocolate orange tarte. The cocktails were lovely and the staff great. Will definitely be eating here again.

    A lovely meal, the steak was exceptional. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Preferred dessert not available but one not on main menu offered (it was on group booking menu). Good value.
