11-13-2023 00:59What a wonderful restaurant. Such a relaxed and warm atmosphere. Our waiter Aleks was fantastic, a genuinely nice guy who made us feel really welcome. The food was divine, the cod was possibly the best cod cookery I've experienced and the chocolate parfait was heavenly. I relied entirely on the sommelier Alex for recommendations and he did not disappoint with some really interesting wines, his passion was contagious! We had a really special evening and can't wait to go back!

10-25-2023 13:34We visited Kitchen W8 for a special occasion and had high expectations for a 1 star Michelin restaurant. The food was very nice, especially the duck terrine and duck breast, which were cooked to perfection and had great flavours. The presentation was also beautiful and the portion sizes were perfect for us. The service was ok, but not above and beyond. The staff were polite and attentive enough. The atmosphere was clean and elegant, but again not exceptional. The menu with wine pairing was £340 for two persons, which I think is fair. What was annoying is that they added a 15% service charge that was being put on, which was £51 and it was an awkward moment to ask the staff to take it off. I think that gratuities should be optional and not automatically included in the bill. Overall, I would give it four stars considering the quality of the food and the ambience, but I would not go back. It was a good experience, but not a memorable one.

08-05-2023 19:38They recently received its first Michelin star, and it is well-deserved. The tasting menu is a true culinary experience, with each dish carefully crafted and presented. The first three courses are all fish, yet they are each cooked in a different style with a unique flavor profile. The main course of grilled beef sirloin is also cooked to perfection. The accompanying sauce is rich and flavorful, and the roasted archicoke is perfectly cooked. The favours in general are special, a mix of different ingredients that you don't usually see in other restaurants. The staff are very attentive and friendly! Highly recommended and great value for its service and quality!

07-06-2023 02:05Starting with the positives the server Charlie legitimately gave us some of the best service we’ve ever had in London - absolutely top notch from the beginning to end. Where things were a let down was the food all three dishes we had were bland and forgettable and certainly not worthy of their price. The gnocchi was particularly unspectacular as too was the seabass . Overall there are Far better Michelin starred restaurants in London offering superior food at a cheaper price .

06-05-2023 16:44**Review:** **Sophistication Meets Simplicity** Stepping into the restaurant, one is immediately struck by its understated elegance. A perfect setting for celebrating our son's 30th birthday, the venue delivered on our expectation of Michelin-quality fare without the hefty price tag. Service was remarkable. Despite being the sole server tending to the bar and tables, the young lady exhibited professionalism, maintaining a calm and pleasant demeanour. It's a rarity these days to encounter such a commendable work ethic. The menu variety is worth noting. Between the à la carte, set, and lamb special, our group sampled a bit of everything. My set menu choice of beetroot with walnut pesto was generous and an absolute delight. The pollock, albeit on the smaller side, was well-paired with broccoli, making for a satisfactory meal. Though I missed out on the chocolate dessert due to time constraints, judging by the overall quality of the dishes, I'm confident it would've been a treat. The ambience, while mostly positive, had its quirks. The impeccable lighting, especially in a windowless back room, is a photographer's dream. However, the absence of background music rendered an almost reverential silence. While our group isn't boisterous, we relish hearty conversations and spontaneous laughter. This made me wonder if our exuberance was a tad out of place, given the seemingly older and affluent clientele. A minor hiccup occurred when the air conditioning was turned off upon a patron's request. The resultant stuffiness made the exit to fresh air all the more refreshing. Lastly, for wine lovers, the 2019 bottle of red wine was a hit with our group. As my husband, a wine connoisseur, pointed out, it was an affordable yet excellent vintage. In summary, this establishment offers a harmonious blend of class and comfort. While it may cater more to a mature clientele, anyone searching for exquisite food, commendable service, and a serene atmosphere will find it a worthy visit.

05-20-2023 23:25The food was not in the Michelin star level very normal and bland looked good but no proper flavour the chicken dish was a disaster I put one bite in my mouth no seasoning or flavour with bad smell I felt nauseous and couldn’t eat my other dishes. The service pretty slow no eye contact from the staff so we had to wait a long time until someone came and took order. This place needs proper customer service training .

03-21-2023 20:46Having been so impressed by Elystan Street, I decided to go to another restaurant owned by Phil Howard. I liked the interior, especially the drawings of the birds on the branches. It added a really calm and relaxing atmosphere. My starter was lamb cannelloni, which was very nice. Tender and flavoursome meat was wrapped in well-cooked pasta. The sauce that was served with it was meaty and had the right consistency. The fried crumb gave a good crunch to the dish. However, I thought that the portion was far too small, even for a starter. I thought this was a shame as the actual dish was very delicious. For my main, I had Iberico pork. The appearance of the meat strongly resembled that of beef or venison and certainly wasn't the typical pinky-white colour you normally get with pork - this interested me a lot. Nevertheless, the meat was incredibly soft and was a real delight to eat. The grains added some chew and absorbed the flavours of the sauces well. But once again, I would have preferred a larger portion. I wasn't too keen on the flavour of the sauce which accompanied the meat. The dessert was definitely the highlight of the meal. I chose the chocolate pavé with tropical fruit ice cream (I believe it was mango and passion fruit). The pavé was very smooth and the sweetness was just right for me. It was quite light but also had a good level of decadence. The two components of the dish went together very well. Overall, regrettably, I didn't enjoy my meal here as much as I did at Elystan Street. The food didn't leave me feeling as impressed or satisfied. But there certainly are some dishes that are worth trying so if you're looking for a good meal at a relatively reasonable price, you could consider coming here.
