1215 Restaurant

Located within the Fairmont Hotel, this was a fantastic venue to celebrate our daughter’s university graduation. Everything—from the setting and service to the food and drinks—was exceptional. The surrounding green spaces enhanced the experience. Our only suggestion would be to increase the volume of the background music.

What a lovely dining experience at the Fairmont Windsor. We were looking for a nice dinner outside of London and found Il Giardino at 1215. We had such a warm welcome at the hotel and then at the restaurant. Our host Nico explained to us the new menu and went through specific dishes in detail helping us chose some authentic Sicilian dishes with such depth and flavour. We had a roasted chicken which I would not normally get in a nice restaurant but this was so good - deboned, stuffed and every bite delicious! The truffle pasta was luscious, and the sea bream ceviche was tingly with the clementine marinade. Whilst the food was delicious, the service was really standout. The wait staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable and made our dinner experience that much better. This is our first time at the hotel and restaurant and we will surely be back again. Everything was decorated in its Christmas trimmings which made for a festive and joyful experience. Next time - we will also try the fireplace at the Library Club!

Exquisite fine dining very delicately presented. Very good concept. Remarkably friendly and attentive personnel. We are sorry to hear the concept is changing.

It was my wife's Birthday, so I booked a table at the 1215 restaurant online on the website, great website everything you need to know is on there before coming. When we arrived we were charmed by the absolutely beautiful look of the hotel and its grounds. I stunning little bridge drive over a small lake. At the door of the hotel greeted by the most politest man who kindly guided us to where the restaurant was. Then at the corridor of the restaurant another polite lady who took us to the restaurant itself. We were greeted wonderfully by the management and waiting team and sat on a great spot under a beautiful arch feature, the restaurant itself was grand and elegant. Once sat, then the 5 start treatment for our dinner began, given a introduction by one of the managers on the day, unfortunately I can’t remember the name but tall slender gentleman. He told us about the sourcing of ingredients used in the dishes from their very own garden, all organic. Then as he knew it was my wife's Birthday, he brought us two glasses of very expensive non alcoholic sparkling wine. 🍾 We then were greeted by our waitress, who was fairly new and due to us asking questions she very kindly swapped with another waiter called Chetan, who had more knowledge about the dishes. But at all times we felt very well looked after. We selected the 5 course menu, they had the option of a 3 course, but we went with the 5 course. They started us off before our courses with some delicious sets of in-house baked breads and to accompany it a set of two types of butters and the most amazing chimmi-churri. One of the butters was made with leaks and you have to try how good it was as I cannot describe the taste. What we had was all stunning food with extra’s added in between plus pallet cleansers that were magical in flavour. I have attached their menu and some images of the 5 course, which I would say ended up being 8 course as they gave us few extra delicacies to try. With regards to service the chefs came out with service and talked to us and served the beautiful food to us. The highlight was head chef Tim Sheed came out right at the end and served us with birthday pastry and a hand written card. Unfortunately in the flurry we did not recognise it was Tim himself, but if he reads this then I would advise that one of the best chefs we have come across in relation to fine dining and very down to earth gentleman. All in all an exceptional experience not just for a lovely evening out but for occasions. Your loved ones will remember the evening at the Fairmont for a long time if you decide to visit. It is a bit more on the expensive side, but I would say value for money and the experience is key. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I visited this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. Having dined at many fine establishments, I was truly impressed by the exceptional service and attention to detail here. Every member of the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making the evening feel truly special. To make the occasion even more memorable, we were treated to a complimentary glass of champagne for a celebratory toast. The experience was beautifully concluded when the chef personally presented a congratulations card and a selection of desserts — a thoughtful gesture arranged entirely by the team without any request from us. Overall, it was an outstanding dining experience that perfectly combined elegance, hospitality, and genuine care.

Very elegant venue 🥰❤️ such a beautiful place, excellent atmosphere excellent service and a gorgeous place for any special occasion ❤️🥰🤩…we enjoyed a whole day at the hotel a great treasure in Surrey to tuck yourselves away for some quality time ❤️😍🥰

Beautiful setting and ambiance. Fine service and good food. We went here in December 2023 for lunch. They had a 3 course LUNCH MENU for £55 (+ service). The location is quite secluded and very well kept. To find the restaruant, go through the main entrance of the hotel, turn left at the end, through the bar and the entrance is on the left. The monochrome decor is very elegant creating a lovely ambiance. I can imagine being here in the summer and it would have been perfect. The music was okay, I would have preferred something more classical; but hey, it was nearly Christmas... We were served by an enthusiastic waiter who took good care of us. We were asked around 4 times about dietary requirements... After ordering, we were served some sourdough bread and butter, it was fine, this was followed by a pre-starter (something that looked like a fish finger, but made of polenta, which was nice, but nothing special). Starter 7/10 I had the ham hock terrine for starter and my partner had the oysters. The terrine was average, but the accompanying pickled vegetables were good. The oysters with a champagne, crème fraiche and cucumber, I'm told was excellent. Main 8/10 I had the chicken and my partner had the fish. The chicken was full of flavour and the sauce tasted great (a little too much residual fat for me though), the potato was good, what stole the show was the cabbage, it was very buttery and creamy - best cabbage I'd ever had. I wish I ordered the cod though, it came with a very tasty bisque, was cooked beautifully and the accompaniments were pleasant. Dessert 5/10 We both had the set dark chocolate, espresso, mascarpone. Visually it was very appetising, but I found it bland. The chocolate did not have any strong flavour - frankly, a good supermarket brownie would have been better. The coffee ice cream looked elegant, but was average. Overall, it was a good experience that I would recommend. There are numerous nice restaurants in this area (most of which I have not been to). This should be one of the better ones, but I am certain not the best in the price range. For example, I would say that Bluebells would beat it in terms of flavours, but maybe not on the interior (though of course, both are subjective) or location.

Nestled within a beautiful hotel, 1215 offers an exceptional fine dining experience with stunning views overlooking lush gardens. The setting is serene and elegant, complemented by the stylish Paramount Bar that adjoins the restaurant. The food is outstanding – from the expertly prepared grill dishes to the delightful bakery selection, every bite reflects top-class quality. Service was impeccable throughout, striking the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. This is fine dining done exactly right: elegant surroundings, flawless service, and remarkable cuisine. 1215 has truly got it all. Highly recommended.
