My goodness Kettners brought out the 'Bubbles De Vere' in me - (she's a Little Britain character for the info of our friends from across the Pond) I was visiting London with my best friend aka The Blonde - we started with Bellinis all round - i then opted for the caviar and veal - both were delicious - The...

Headed here for sunday lunch and was impressed by the surroundings. The place had a relaxed atmosphere and the service was good. The food was nice, I had the roast lamb and my friend had beef and both were tasty but the yorkshire puddings were a crime - must have been sitting there for ages as rock hard. The apple... More

I think it may be a 'girl' thing. The population of this restaurant seemed to be 80% women on girls' night out. Polite, well-behaved girls' nights out, mind you. This does not make it a bad place, of course, just an interesting point of notice on the Saturday night we attended (2 boys and 2 girls in our party!). Atmosphere... More

Ketters has a great vibe, it's comfortable whilst still chic and it's an enjoyable place to spend an evening. The service is acceptable, not amazing but nothing to complain about and its lovely having a chat whilst listening to some live piano music. But the biggest issue with Kettners is that the food doesn't live up to the venue and... More

Great ambience as always at Kettners. Beef bourguignon was good as well as burger. However both filet steaks were cold and potatoes were as salty as sea water could be. despite the fact I wrote a few emails and called the restaurant in advance to put some birthday decorations on the desert (we were celebrating my girlfriend's birthday) the waiter...

Kettners has been in Soho very long time and finally I went with some friends to try it out as there was an offer. We ordered three courses and were all attracted by the scallop risotto. It was very disappointing as the scallops were very small, about the size of a 1 pence piece. If they are not in season... More

Party of 12 in a private room for a 30th birthday. Great venue, great location, amazing atmosphere. Will definitely attend again soon with the family. I enjoyed the entire evening and our waiter was courteous at all times. The food was enjoyable and the service was extremely fast considering the venue was very busy to include a wedding party in...

My wife and I have just returned from a May bank holiday in London. During this trip we decided to visit Kettners, a historic London restaurant for Sunday lunch. We arrived early and were greeted by a lovely receptionist who made us feel very welcome and invited us to either take our table or have a pre-lunch drink in the... More

Being in that amazing restaurant on yesterday. It was really excellent! Romantic atmosphere (but good also for a couple of friends who would like to chat or a group of colleagues). The place is lovely and the service is rather good, with friendly people. Food was excellent, although a little bit expensive, not for quality (very high) but for quantity... More
