I've not been to Kettners for a few years, but the history of the place is amazing and the surroundings are great. Started with some house bubbly in the Champagne Bar, then on into the main restaurant. In particular had a great Beef Bourguignon, but the quality of the Burgers ordered varied greatly. Great pud too. Must admit it's mainly... more

The food here is, frankly, abysmal value. It's not that it's awful, it's just mediocre. But brutally expensive to boot. And worse than all of that is the forgetful, ignorant, insultingly patronising, pseudo-cheery service. To cut a long a boring lunch short they got most things wrong simply because the waiter wasn't listening. He wasn't even pretending to listen. The... more

It's hard to remember anything more than our waitress who stuck her elbow in our ribs to get our attention - unbelievably rude and extremely irritating, though I don't think she had the faintest idea that it really wasn't the thing to do. Jangly acoustics make it impossible to hear the pianist unless you're right on top of the piano.... more

Kettners has been our favourite London restaurant for many years but, following its recent revamp, our visit last week will be our last. We have always found Kettners to offer excellent value for money, particularly given the stylish décor, including a piano player, for which you would expect to pay much more. The quality of the service and of the... more

Good menu and reasonable prices in a great location. Wine bar and champagne bar are excellent escapes from busy Soho more

Went for lunch last week. First time since the makeover and it was an awful experience never to be repeated. The new decor was boring and soulless beyond belief. Similar to eating in a public toilet with mirrors. There are no soft furnishings at all so the accoustics were terrible. Any noise from other tables was multiplied 10 fold until... more
