Nice Restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. The food was really good, very high standard and well presented. There appeared to be only two people serving that night, both men. I assume one was the owner and he was very good with a big personality. The other, however, limited his conversation to yes and no answers and seemed rather grumpy. Would go again.

This was our first visit to Two to Four in Dorking and we'll definitely be going back. A varied menu, well presented and well cooked food, and good value for money. The highlights were a perfectly medium rare fillet of beef and a divine orange mascarpone creme brulee. Crispy courgettes were a great side dish too! Service was a little slow at times but polite staff and a relaxed atmosphere compensated for this.

Another excellent meal at Two to Four in Dorking. Perfectly cooked scallops to start with followed by a large fillet of beef, also perfectly cooked. My fellow diners had no complaints either, apart from a quibble with the toffee delice dessert, which could have had more toffee. But the menu always has some interesting variations to try, as well as the mainstays such as rib eye steak, which is why we keep coming back.

Had lunch with a friend. Unimpressive external appearance but decent inside. Food good and worth revisiting but expensive.

Went to Two to Four in Dorking last night.They have a set 2 course dinner for £15 and a small blackboard menu.All 4 of us mixed and matched and every dish was very good. If only there could be more of these types of owner run establishments! The problem is clear...only 5 tables occupied ie,13 covers. Hope they survive.

After a succession of overpriced, underwhelming dining experiences in Surrey, what a great surprise it was to discover this hidden gem nestled amongst the dusty antique emporiums of back street Dorking. Perfectly seared scallops ably supported by a delicious, spicy noodle salad followed by an excellent mature steak, served up with a buttery rosti and green beans, jus and crispy corgetti. The wine list is varied enough and well priced, the service attentive and friendly. We'll definitely be back!

Two to Four (Dorking) First visit and really enjoyed it. Would definately go again. The food was well presented and well cooked with great flavours. My wife tried the swordfish which was excellent. The only thing small dissappointment was that the prawn and squid salad starter could have done with a few more prawns and pieces of squid. That said it was still excellent.

Two to Four - This is a great venue for a quiet romantic evening for two. The food was excellent. The service may be a little slow for some, but the quality of the courses is worth the wait and it suited the relaxed pace of the meal I was after. I found the staff to be a little too formal, but that's a subjective thing. My fiance had the ribeye steak (v. tender and tasty) and I recommend it over the fillet, but only just. Great starter for me was the poached egg, parma ham, asparagus salad.

Two to Four is a lovely place in pretty Dorking the food and service are exceptional and the lunch time meal is very good value. The Wine Evenings they do from time to time look good and are quite good value. Highly recommended.
