The Dysart Petersham

Had a very enjoyable lunch at the Dysart just ahead of lockdown 2.0. Service was impeccable, covid precautions are top notch (think individual hand sanitisers on each table and a temperature check before entering) and the restaurant made for a beautiful place for a down to earth meal. Food was superb and beautifully presented. We selected the a la carte menu - going for lobster and burrata and ox tail risotto (both great) for starters, turbot and game for mains (I had my heart set on the pork but sadly it wasn't on the menu the day of our visit) and the most delicious autumn fruit dessert. Would definitely return!

We’ve lived in Richmond for 8 years but this was our first chance to experience. And it was a great one. Looking forward to going back. Great food and service. A memorable evening!

The tasting menu was delicious, with thoughtful wine pairings. We particularly enjoyed the scallop, ox tail risotto and duck courses. The service was excellent, led by a warm and knowledgeable maître d'.

This was, unequivocally, one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had! The restaurant is beautifully appointed, the welcome is genial and professional, the service of the highest and most charming and the menu exquisitely balanced as one would expect from a Michelin Starred Kitchen! Head Chef, Kenneth Culhane, has an extraordinarily refined palette and the Pris Fix menu is so perfectly honed, with portion sizes so refined and balanced that no matter what combination of each course you choose, they seamlessly compliment each other! This is epicurean skill at its highest and we felt all our senses were totally satiated and indulged! A special call out to Anna who served us, not only with absolute charm and knowledge of each dish, but obvious pride and respect for the restaurant she represents. We are thrilled to have found this treasure to which we will indubitably return many times!

This is a fabulous and grown up restaurant, the only one of its kind in the Richmond area. Great food and attention to detail, impeccable service. Would be a superb special occasion destination. I'd highly recommend and will certainly return.
