The Thames Riviera Hotel, Bridge Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6 8DW
  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Romantic
Situated on the banks of the Thames in upmarket Maidenhead is the Blue River Café, part of the superb Thames Riviera Hotel. Set in a charming Edwardian house the entire hotel, including Blue River, has been given a super-contemporary makeover with plenty of earthy tones, plush furniture and sleek glass to please the most design-minded guest. With views of the river as it sweeps under the pretty Maidenhead Bridge – whether you’re seated inside the bright airy dining room or on the open air terrace area – Blue River is doubtless one of the best seats in town. Watch the world go by as you enjoy the fresh English flavours of the modern, creative menu. In addition to daily and a la carte menus, children’s options are also offered.

    Blue River good restaurant but open table did not forwarded the booking so when we arrived at 11.45am they had no record of it and did not open until 12.00 . Consequently we had a 45minute wait

    The restaurant is clean and comfortable, with glorious views over the Thames. A good choice of food and very reasonable prices. Only slight problem was with staffing issues, but this was promptly sorted out by the manager.

    The terrace and the garden were very dirty, used plates on the tables, napkins on the floor, cigarettes... The staff was totally disorganised and doesnt care. Food was below average. What a pity because the setting is really great on the Thames bank !

    Although a fantastic location, it’s gone downhill over the last few years! I booked through open table, and they didn’t have a record of our booking and so we were lucky to get a table outside on the terrace as they hadn’t reserved it. Slow service. Not very impressed. Will not rush back here.

    They had no record of our booking, but as I had confirmation they put an extra table in, but this was adjacent to the music. We had two courses but no one came back to ask if we wanted any dessert or coffee.

    We wasn't too hungry when we got there so we just had a starter. The service was great, had a lovely waitress looking after us and we didn't wait long for our food to arrive. It was very fresh and very very tasty. Will definitely be returning. Its a shame I'm working new years eve as the package they have for that night really looks amazing.

    The service was very good - apart from my second glass of wine taking a while to arrive. Food very good and, with a Taste Card, very good value.
