Been here lots of times with my friend. Nice patio if the weather is good and a great dining area inside. Menu changes with the seasons. Great app's and the mains are fantastic. Really nice food and the service is great also. Never a bad experience--we usually come 3-4 times a year.
The Springs has a great lunch menu with a good selection of sandwiches, salads and desserts. All fresh and tasty. It's quiet so you can talk. The service is very attentive. Lots of parking. They have a covered patio.
Very quaint little place with amazing food and a great head chef (Andrew W.) who always comes out to see how the food was and chat a bit to make sure your experience is a good one. Always testing the boundaries with some of the different plates and specials but they always seem to work!
Wonderful menu that changes seasonally, occasionally rising to greatness. Initial visit was outstanding, subsequent returns have been good but uneven.
Housed in a renovated former church, the decor is contemporary--but the large open space and proximity of neighbouring tables can make conversation difficult. Service is competent.
My wife and I went there for dinner last night and were blown away by the food and the service. We will definitely be back.
Lovely. This restaurant is a converted church and also has a patio on the side. I sat outside on the patio which was quite nice. The quality of the food is excellent! I'm try to reduce my carb intake so I asked for the turkey salad sandwich without the bread and they made a really nice meal out of the turkey and a side salad. It was delicious. We also had the flourless chocolate cake for dessert. It is much better than it sounds! It tastes like a delicious dense brownie.
Dinner. We went to the springs for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed both the food and the service. our server "Ron" was very knowledgeable about the choices on the menu. the food was different and exceptional. This is not your regular restaurant. We were looking for food that was not the norm and by George we found it !!! I have to admit it was a bit on the pricey side, so it won't be a regular once a week excursion, but for special occasions, it's at the top of our list. Well done CHEF !!!!

Loved It. We came for lunch today and really enjoyed ourselves. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was soothing and lovely. We're looking forward to our next visit already.
Very Nice. Excellent service and all the right flavors, portions were generous too! cant wait to try the venison.
The Springs Restaurant - Fabulous Lunch. My good friend and I just had lunch there today and it was fabulous. The service was quick and it was a pleasure to have the owners greet us at the door. The decor is fresh and not overbearing. The music was there but did in no way interfere with our 3 1/2 hour conversation. We never felt rushed. The chef came out to meet everyone toward the end of lunch. The menu is fresh and interesting. My friend had the burger and fries and the serving was very generous. She loved it. I had the steak sandwich with salad and ordered it rare (often difficult to get this cooked right at any restaurant). It was fabulous, tender (I almost didn't need my knife) and very generous with 2 pieces of tenderloin. The Cafe au Lait at the end was perfect. I did notice another reviewers comment about not enough vegetarian meals. On the website it mentions that they are happy to accommodate special diets and know that with a mention of any special needs during the reservation, they chef would enjoy the challenge. I would recommend this restaurant very highly. I am a person who worked for many years in the restaurant business and tend to be quite picky and critical. I can't think of anything negative to say. Oh, and the free parking is a bonus. We'll be back!
It's good but.... The restaurant is very loud, service was very quick and meal was good but basically it's the only on king lite the menu is some what similar to what you'd get at the only on king. The pricing is about the same I'd recommend the springs if you cant get a Reso at the only on king. A big plus for the Springs is the Free Parking
Best in the city!!!. I have been to the Springs on many occasions since it opened- for lunch, afternoon coffee, dinner and haven't been disappointed once. The food is incredible- mostly locally sourced and thoughtfully and expertly prepared. The chef is truly talented. The staff is well-trained, friendly and professional. The atmosphere is homey and relaxed.
It reminds me of Lumiere in Vancouver, but a lot less pretentious.
You HAVE to try the beet tart for dessert. Trust me, it's worth every calorie.
My date on Valentine's Day made reservations here. After reading negative reviews on here I was nervous. We had a great time, the service was great and the food was delicious! The only thing I didn't enjoy was there isn't much privacy between tables, but we still had a great time.
First time visit. We'd heard nothing but good things and we were not disappointed! Best salmon I've ever had and the Israeli couscous flavour tasted like a party in my mouth. My wife had the special, beef tenderloin with mushroom risotto. She doesn't even like mushrooms but loved this. Great service and a warm friendly atmosphere to boot. Try it for yourself!
Great Dinner!. My wife and I went to the Springs for dinner last Friday and we had a really great meal. For appetizers she had crab cakes, I had risotto balls with rabbit and cheese filling. Both were excellent but the risotto balls were outstanding. The mains were a pork tenderloin and a venison dish that were both perfectly prepared. We had tasty desserts as well. Their wine list has a good variety of decent wine and the servers actually know something about them. Overall, the place was super, food was great and the service was very good. We arrived 5 minutes early for our reservation and were seated immediately. The waiter was knowledgeable and the place was very busy. This a long-ish review because the prices are on the high side and deserve an explanation of what you're getting. This was one of the best meals we've had in London.
Went to lunch with a friend. The service was quick and friendly, but we were the only people there. When we entered the restaurant they sat us at the bar, because they were preparing the dinning room for dinner service. I got the prime rib French dip sandwich. Which was tasty. The decor was modern and clean, but you wouldnt have privacy when busy. I'm going to try this restaurant again, but next time I'll try the dinner service.
Good experience. We tried the Springs the other night on a recommendation from a friend. It's an intriguing place from the outside - it's originally a church converted to a restaurant. The owners have put a lot of money into the exterior landscaping, parking lot and entrance. Inside is contemporary with lots of windows, but maybe a bit stark. It's definitely an open environment, so if you're looking for a quiet/private dinner, this won't suit your needs. It was very busy (generally a good sign) despite being open for a number of months now and the fact we were going there post Xmas holiday period (which is usually a slower time). It was a little loud, but that didn't bother us. Service was good, and the wine list has a good selection from inexpensive to expensive. We had the crab cake appetizer which was tasty. I had the scallops and my wife had the fish special. Both entrees were good. Overall I'd say 7.5 to 8 out of 10.
I was waiting for them to open, and it is WORTH it!. I read the reviews before I went, and they left me feeling a little rocky about the place, but as a self-proclaimed foodie I know that sometimes the best food brings out the worst in people; and this seemed to be the case. We were a walk-in table, but were served promptly last Thursday. I had the bruschetta to start, and I appreciated it as it reminded me of my time in Italy. My friend had the quail, which was a creative dish and delicious (yes, I stole a bite when she wasn't looking). The scallop dish was amazing in portion size and flavour, and her lamb was melt in your mouth and anything but flavourless. Our server was kind enough to inform us the amazing bread was baked fresh daily by a local market bakery, while the desserts were made in-house. The biscotti that came with the brulee was very complimentary and the chocolate tort was reminiscent of a traditional tort, beautiful dense and chocolately. Kudos to what they're doing there and I will keep going because I know that there is only more to expect from them.
Outstanding!!!!! The food was absolutely amazing! My husband and I popped in for lunch. Welcomed by a friendly hostess. Drink orders were taken immediately. Excellent choice of wines. My husband had the burger with frittes and soup and I had the maple chicken sandwich. Where do I begin??The chicken was beautifully flavored with thyme an a bacon aioli on a soft warm focaccia bun with summer fresh tomatoes. My husband says the burger was second only to mine, which is his marital obligation but I think he preferred the springs burger. The meat is triple ground in house which distributes the fat content perfectly! Frittes were hot and crispy and the mushroom soup was superb! Thank you chef Andy! You have outdone yourself with the lunch menu. Can't wait to come for dinner!
Wonderful First Experience. With great anticipation we went to the Springs on a Tuesday about 6:00 p.m. We were greeted very warmly and seated immediately. Drinks were offered about three minutes after we were seated. Delicious artisan buns brought out, wish I had asked if they were baked in-house or brought in, very tasty. Decor very tasteful and open concept, warm yet modern. Great selection of wines and imported beers. I tried the seared tuna and my partner tried the escargots. Both very, very good dishes that I would not hesitate to try again.
Servers were all very attentive, and, contrary to a previous review, we didn't find a rude attitude from any of the staff. Main dishes we tried were the scallops, which were absolutely delicious with a touch of smoked tuna and a wonderful risotto cake. My partner had the steak which was done exactly to his liking, was visually pleasing and well enjoyed. The greens accompanying the dishes where fresh and delicious. The chef visited the table to introduce himself, and was very charming. All in all our experience was positive and we will definitely be back.
As we were leaving there were a few tables that appeared to have been waiting a bit longer than we did, perhaps due to the increased diner load since we had arrived. They have only been open two weeks so hopefully people will give them a bit of slack for what, to me, seems to be a place with alot of potential.
Nice to have a place where parking is readily available for very good cuisine.
The Springs is such a gem in London! Last week was my first time there and I can't say enough good things about it. Not only is the food exquisite but the atmosphere is so peaceful. With it's gorgeous windows and stone work this restaurant is not one to miss! The owner, Dean, is also truly one of a kind, with his huge heart and passion for community, I can't wait to go back to support him and this beautiful restaurant.

The Springs was such an incredible hit for my bridal shower!!
The room was bright, cheery, spacious and nicely decorated with fresh flowers. There was ample seating for close to 30 people, with space to mingle with all of the guests.
Dean and Ron were incredible hosts, very accommodating and provided everything we needed to have a wonderful bridal shower. Dean even drove down the street to get gluten free bread for the gluten free guests to have bread for the burgers and turkey wraps.
The guests raved about the quality of the delicious food that was served.
The whole experience surpassed my expectations; I felt like I won the lottery with Dean and Ron and The Springs restaurant!
I highly recommend The Springs not only for dinner but for every event you are having!
This is not my first time being here but tonight was definitely the best!!! The service is amazing and the food is out of this world!
If you need your taste buds to go to a different planet you need to come here! I can’t say I’ve had much lamb before but watching this lamb fall off the bone was incredible!! If I could rate this 11 stars I would!
Had a pretty good time at The Springs celebrating my anniversary and engagement. We ordered the arancini for an appetizer and they were pretty good. Not the best I’ve had, but still very flavourful! My entree was the smoked duck breast and it was fantastic - highly recommend! My partner ordered the salmon which was decent, sadly a little dry. We ordered the Turtles cheesecake for dessert and it wasn’t anything special, tasted like something that could have been store bought. The food altogether was good though a bit pricey.
Overall, the friendly and attentive staff, live piano player, and environment helped bring this rating to a 4/5. Good for a fancy night out to celebrate a special occasion!
I had the pleasure of having my wedding reception at The Springs. Dean & his staff were so accommodating and made the process so seamless, literally the best service we’ve experienced. The food was probably the best part, all of our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. From the soup, to the steak and the dessert.
The pricing was great too, you can tell they do this because they love it. I will not stop recommending The Springs to my family & friends for their events.
Thank you again, Dean & The Springs staff for making this unforgettable.
Our theatre company performed at The Springs this evening for a private Christmas party. Our company has performed in a vast array of different venues, and our experience at The Springs was outstanding.
The staff were very accommodating and communicative with our team about timing of meal courses around our scenes. The servers were personable, enthusiastic, attentive, and prompt. Because of this outstanding communication and service, the show (meal courses included) ran incredibly smoothly.
And now we talk about the meal. This was, by far, some of the best food our team has ever encountered in our many years performing at various venues.
It was a real pleasure performing at The Springs!
Love this restaurant! I have been here on 3 different occasions and have been thoroughly impressed every time. The delicious foods, the lovely ambiance and the attentive staff are all 5 Stars. Nice appetizers and drinks selection. The AAA Angus Beef Tenderloin and the Half Rack of Lamb were both cooked to perfection and were outstanding. Highly recommend!
Such an amazing spot to celebrate any event/special occasion! The staff are all so welcoming and knowledgeable about the food and where it’s sourced. I came for my birthday and was blown away by the flavours. The GF chocolate cake was to die for. I will be back for more of everything! Yum yum yum
We came for my wife’s birthday dinner and were not disappointed. The food was amazing! It was a nice place and had good service. My favourite part was the live classical piano during our whole dinner. I guess we lucked out and had the whole place to ourselves so it felt very personable. René on the piano really made it feel special. We had the venison loin which was amazing. The espresso and black pepper crust paired with the rare venison and sauce was just too good! My wife had the salmon and we had the tuna to start which were also both very good! This restaurant has been on my list to try for years but for whatever reason never got around to trying it and I’m glad I finally did! Now I will have to come back soon!
Dean and his team accommodated our 24 person party in the private lower level party room this week. The room and atmosphere was perfect for our group, and the food was delicious. We ordered off the set menu, and could select what we wanted at dinner - no pre ordering and asking everyone to select their food before we got there was needed!
Correspondence before the event was quick and easy.
Service was efficient, genuine, and involved. It says something when the owner checks in on your group to make sure expectations are being met.
There is great pride in their farm to table food (no frozen food) and local ingredients.
I recommend The Springs Restaurant as a good venue for group dinners, and I'll be back to try their everyday menu too.
