It is one of our favorite local restaurant. Excellent food and service. We went this time to celebrate birthday and ordered 9 courses menu, to be honest, it was too much and too long service, too much mousses served in most of the courses (that's why only 4 stars this time). The chef's choice had truffles (...and mousse) which was very tasty (and adds £30 more per person, kind of expensive...). As conclusion, 7 courses should be more than enough.

Perfect service and a brilliant a la carte menu. Enjoyed the very rich prawn starter, delicious ox cheek main but the standout was a mind blowingly excellent pineapple desert! Will definitely be back for a special occasion.Only criticism is the dining rooms look quite drab - tired chairs and depressing paint, decor and lighting. ‘Food and service more than makes up for this!

Our first time at Thompson and it more than stood up to it's reviews;From stepping in the door the staff were excellent and welcoming, the food, accompanying wine and explanations of what we were eating great and all well presented - I'll be back for the 7 courses next!I wish you continued success.

Absolutely wonderful evening with Amy at this fabulous restaurant! I had a challenge with local parking which the restaurant mgt helped me out with even before our evening began... When it was time for me to take breath, we enjoyed fabulous bar and dining rooms.For me, the cuisine was exquisit , service exceptional (serving staff always wore a smile and went to great effort to explain the 'make up' / composition of every dish !!) If you want a special evening out with your partner at St Albans, you will find anywhere else hard to best Thompsons!!

Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. The service is excellent, the food an incredible journey of unexpected tastes and textures, and the overall atmosphere is both calm but warm and inviting. Highly highly highly recommend.When you eat food this good, you wonder why we should put up with ever eating badly.

Beautiful ambience. Polite, attentive service, good food and good vegetarian choice - but extremely slow coming out of the kitchen with atleast half hour between courses.However not at all value for money even for a high end restaurant and we thought we were having the mid-week menu but were given another (more expensive menu) and only realised at the end. Parking difficult. Would not go back.

Came here for lunch to celebrate a special occasion with a friend. Great service and friendly staff. The food was nice but unsure if it’s worth the ££££ price tag - perhaps dinner would have been more appropriate? Overall a pleasant experience and would revisit for the full tasting menu!

It's good but not amazing!I've been here twice now for the taster menu.The restaurant is mentioned in the Michelin Guide but I don't think most of these dishes are Michelin quality...The service is good and the waiters are very friendly and informative, but the food could really be better. Some of the dishes are just a bit boring.There are a lot of hidden gems outside of London which really are up there in terms of taste, creativity and attention to detail. but unfortunately I wouldn't rate this as one of them.Maybe I'll come again in a few months time and see if things have changed. I want to give it the benefit of the doubt. It's definitely the best in St Albans but I don't feel like the town generally has much to offer.I go by the idea that if I can only take a decent picture of 4 out of 7 courses then the other 3 need some work.I'm also not a big fan of carpets in restaurants but the ceilings are quite low so I understand why it was done.

Exquisite dishes cooked to perfection. I’m surprised this doesn’t have a Michelin Star already. It won’t be long I’m sure. Excellent service and wine choices with the 7 course tasting menu (although I would avoid the ‘orange’ wine - a current fad)

Had a fabulous meal at Thompson’s last night. We had the 9 course tasting menu and it was outstanding. Each course was absolutely delicious and so beautifully presented.
