We took my son and 4 of his friends (all who attend The German School of London) to Stein's for his 15th birthday. It was great, they put up a banner and balloon and the service was very attentive service, as usual. Excellent food, including great seasonal selections. Every time we eat there, we think, "We should really come here more often!"

We all loved the food we had but perhaps a sauce ( jäger or Zigeuner) would have made the Schnitzels even better. Perhaps it is just a regional thing!

We make it a tradition to book an evening at Stein, before we depart for skiing in Austria. The food and service is always impeccable. One only complaint would be, there was a few items of food unavailable on the menu and had been for a while it appeared. We should have been told these dishes were no longer available or they should be removed from the menu, before placing food orders. Otherwise a great experience and atmosphere.

Stein's is one of my all time favourite restaurants of all time in Kingston. They offer home quality cooking German food and it is to die for. I have been there at least 10 times and each time it is just as good as the last. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! And their portions are fantastic. Also during October, they have octoberfest beers which is definitely an added bonus. 10 out of 10 any day of the week.

First time visiting this restaurant & it certainly won’t be the last. The food was fabulous & there’s a lovely view of the river if eating outside. The staff were all very friendly & the lederhosen really set the scene for this excellent Bavarian restaurant. I can highly recommend the curry sauce bratwurst.

This was my second visit to the Kingston Steins. Both very positive Experian we and definitely won’t be my last visit.
The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient.
The food was all lovely, I’ve had the sausage, the schnitzel and the meat loaf (my current favourite) and would recommend all of them.
Of course, the beers are great and if you can get an outdoor table on a sunny day to take in the river view while enjoying your drink, I would definitely recommend it!

Considering there were only 2 tables occupied there was an extremely loud person on his phone for a considerable amount of time using quite a few expletives- not what you want to listen to while having your meal! I'm surprised the staff didn't ask him to refrain.

Food was great quality as always and could not be tastier. However this time I found the size of my Schnitzel a bit small and I think it used to come with some lettuce on the plate. Also the cola-Weizen tasted weak/watery this time. I also quite enjoyed the old book type menue that unfortunately is now just paper on a clip board

Great location and friendly amenable staff. Food was very good and tasted nice. Drinks took too long to arrive and waiter handled glasses rather clumsily. Fingers on glass rims is a no-no in my book. Space on the terrace was at a premium. We moved because the space to adjacent table was too tight but staff were very good at sorting this out.

On the whole, Steins was a good experience. The only criticism I had was that the people put on the table next to us were very loud. This of course in a way was not to do with the restaurant. It was a pity, because the two men next to us on the river terrace, need not have been placed right next to our table, as there were plenty of other tables free. It did spoil my overall time at Steins, but certainly I could not fault the service or the food, both were excellent.

I think the food is good but overpriced. Three of us ordered the chicken escalope which came with potato salad. For £19.50 I would have expected salad to be included rather than charged at an extra £4.50. When you compare this to a roast dinner that you would get from a good quality pub, it's not great value for money.
My son ordered a Hugo drink costing £7.50 but as far as i could tell this was a soft drink in a small glass so rather expensive for what you get.
The meal for 6 people was 21st treat for my son and I mentioned this as when I booked online but this wasn't acknowledged by the staff. I'm not sure what the point was for asking for this information at the time of booking.
The other thing I need to mention is that I tried to call the restaurant several times to check that we had a table on the cool part of the terrace but each time all I heard was music with no indication that I was through to Steins.
