    Small restaurant with about 18 covers maximum, and the food is excellent. The fillet steaks are cooked to perfection, and the steak sauces are lovely, especially the Martinesque. All meals come with a large bowl of freshly cooked mixed veg to share, plus a mix of lovely crisp and dry chips and some new potatoes. The Rack of Lamb, and the Duck were also highly commended by our party. Great value, good portions, and excellent quality food.

    Loved the ambience of this very cosy restaurant. The Owner was interactive with the customers as well as Charlotte. Very helpful. The 3 course ordered was absolutely lovely and very filling. I would really recommend this place and book in advance as only a few tables. Thank you so much both of you for your excellent customer service. It was on point 🙏🏾👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯

    Attended a family meal here and was excited to try the woodland mushroom and pea risotto however I was very disappointed when the dish came out. The dish had no mushrooms and no truffle oil despite the menu stating this. Also, it was not a risotto consistency it was more just a standard rice dish with various bits of veg in it. We had to request mushrooms, which by the time these were cooked my meal was going cold. Adding them after meant the mushroom flavours were missed. All other people in my party enjoyed their meals so perhaps the veggie/vegan option is not given the same attention. Another thing to note is that the sides we received were only veg and chips which was a shame we weren't offered new potatoes as an option as offered on the menu. Hopefully this was just a one off negative experience.

    Acceptable food, but takes too long time to be served, also some odours from waiters' coats are too noticeable for comfortable eating experience. Nice space.

    We are so pleased we found this little restaurant tucked away from Uxbridge high street. We went for valentines & we had such a superb dinner. We started off with the onion soup which was absolutely delicious which came with crisp bread rolls and butter. We also got the deep fried Camembert which was 😍😍 - definitely recommend. Our main courses were the rack of lamb and the beef stroganoff which both were absolutely delicious- we left full & content. Both courses came with a side bowl of veggies & chips to share. Book before you go as it’s a very small restaurant which holds up to 18 people - it’s very cosy. There is only one chef so you may have a wait for your food, but definitely worth it :) Highly recommend trying this place!

    We booked for 6pm and were the second table to arrive. We waited a while to have our order taken and made it clear we only wanted mains. We then sat and waited for over an hour for our food, while every other table was served starters, then their mains while we were still sat waiting. We asked the server how long our food would be about 30 mins in and she apologised and said it would be out in five minutes. We then waited another 30 mins before our food finally arrived. Waiting an hour for two steaks is pretty rubbish. What was worse was that the steak was the smallest i’ve ever seen in my life, this filet must have been less than two inches in diameter. A real shame as it was cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing. What was less amazing was the clearly microwaved frozen from a bag veg served with it. Overall we were left quite disappointed, I really wanted to like the bistro as it’s a small local business, but after this experience I can say we won’t be returning.

    Initially enjoyable, our visit ended surreally. Firstly, Martin's Place is a bit of an Uxbridge institution. It's one of a handful of independent restaurants in town, and it's one that's been going for many years. It's an idiosyncratic spot with a small dining room only big enough to get around 15 people in, and loos you access through the kitchen. The menu hasn't changed much since it's opening and so is an eccentric and potentially charming spot. My friend had booked, and when we arrived we were told to pick a table. We joined 2 other tables who were clearly regulars or friends of the owner, Martin, and so it was a jolly atmosphere. We picked some retro favourites, like Chicken Cordon Bleu, and settled in. Food took a long time to arrive and by the time it did the other 2 tables had gone and so we were the only ones left. We were a bit self conscious, but it wasn't so bad with the music playing. The food, while freshly prepared, was pretty basic for the cost. We were left for quite long periods and had no water for quite a long time. But again, we were enjoying each others company and the atmosphere was good. That is until the music stopped. The music that had been playing stopped, and we could hear the staff had started to watch loud game shows in the kitchen. It was as if they had forgotten we were there. Feeling like we were intruding, we had to poke our heads into the kitchen to get water and ask for the bill. All in all it was a really strange way to end the evening and, while objectively funny, it soured the mood somewhat.

    We had the best blue steak this side of La Manche. There aren't many tables so the service is personal. Chef comes to talk to the clientelle, a very nice touch. The prices are very affordable, and the quality is high. I hope we can go again soon.

    Beautiful little place, food was outstanding and worth every penny! The service was A* from Charlotte. Will definitely be back.🥰

    If you like the intimacy of a trattoria, are in need of some nostalgia and some delicious home cooked food that doesn't feel like it's out of a packet, this place is for you. Wow, this is what we need nowadays, the human touch, and this is what we seem to be missing more and more. This place seats around 20 and with its pretty lighting feels very welcoming. The owner, Martin, a real character, is up for chatting if you like (if time allows i guess) the waitress was very genuine and lovely. The food was delicious and good portions at a good price. A real treasure in Uxbridge. My only gripe is that sadly i don't live here cos this would be my local!

    1st time eating here tonight. The service and food was faultless. Absolutely delicious. We had the steak and sea bass for mains and we didn't make a dent in the vegetables or potatoes. Marked down 1 star for the atmosphere due to the noise on the street which is out of their control. 1st of many visits :-) Would highly recommend.

    One of the best foods I’ve ever tried in Uxbridge, London. Martin and his partner are super friendly. I’ve tried steak with their recommended desert. I put the pic of both.

    Hidden gem, lovely little restaurant. The food was delicious. I love fillet steak, but its usually quiet expensive to have out, here, £19! Its was cooked beautiful. You could have garlic bread for £2.50! When did you last see it priced at that on a menu. The whole menu was very reasonably priced. 3 of us ate 2 courses, all had steak, plus bottle of wine. It was £30 each plus tip. Its an authentic family restaurant, very small, so book. Currently only open in the evenings. Can't wait to visit again and try another dish.

    Lovely little restaurant. Just the size of your living room so book to make sure you have a table. Food is amazing. We went 2 days before Christmas and delightfully no turkey in sight. The service was great and the Chef, Martin comes and chats to you making you feel like a special guest. I really would recommend this place. Fabulous 😊❤️

    I’m not exactly an expert on steak, but I had the best steak ever at this place. Have since been to Miller & Carter and that place has nothing on this. Good portion of sides. Nice atmosphere. You get a personal service. Small and cosy.

    A basic, old school menu, but beautifully cooked and all served with veg and chunky chips. Nice starters and deserts, washed down with reasonably priced wines and beers. Yes, it's very small and like eating at your aunties house, but the food and portions are good and Martin actually cares whether you've enjoyed your meal, so we are never disappointed. :-)

    Great, cozy environment. Martin came to our table and made sure that everything was to our liking, and very friendly. Some of the regulars told us about his daily runs to get the fresh produce and product he uses. Excellent prices for such a independent restaurant.
