Incredibly rude staff in my experience, but also well illustrated by some of the rude replies from management to comments below mine. The latest comment also suggests they are using vaccine passports, which may be an issue for many in London.

Overall: MUST order the steak & crispy potatoes (looks expensive but can definitely feed 2 easily). small classy restaurants with beautiful decor & attentive service.
cromer crab & toast 🦀: nothing fancy about the toast, hence highlight the dip. extremely addicting blend of flavours - salty, delicate & a sweet aftertaste. would recommend sharing as quite filling with the bread.
belted galloway cote de boeuf 🥩 - sexy piece of steak. cooked beautifully to pink without blood, seared perfectly to lock the juice inside, keeping the meat tender inside. the tarragon & green pepper butter gives

We came by for lunch early on a Saturday and KF was sensational. Welcoming service, friendly and helpful and the food was tremendous. The artichoke was delicious with a dipping sauce. I had the pickled mackerel which was sharp and savoury. The sole for main was divine delicate and flavorful. One of the very best meals we’ve had in London for years. We’ll be back!

Went for a weeknight dinner for two just before another covid restriction hit. Booked a table pretty easily online for an early sitting. Ask to sit in the downstairs area otherwise you'll have people walking past you upstairs all the time. The food though is a knock out, modern British with a continental flair. Had the sole topped with mussels and the enormous wing rib with anchovy coupled with some wine. We were too full for dessert! Friendly and unintrusive service too.

Really nice small restaurant in Shepherds Market.
Food is broadly modern English food, with an emphasis on roasted/grilled meats. The menu is quite small, but everything was excellent.
We began with some excellent olives, moved on to ham croquettes, liver pate on crackers and a Welsh rarebit. These appetizers were quite small, but all tasted excellent. The Iberico pork main and the Cornish pork chop for two (specials menu) were really good. Finished everything off with excellent ice-creams.
Others on google have given poorish reviews, but I don't think they are warranted. Staff were really nice

One of the more enjoyable dinners that I've had in London. Excellent service and food cooked to a very high standard. It's tiny if you're three "bigger" guys but will definitely be back again.

We had a really nice lunch here our last day in London, sitting upstairs but inside. We started with the Bad Kitty and Menage de tois cocktails which were both quite nice.

For starters, we had the tomato and beetroot and goat cheese. The tomato salad was lovely and the beetroot and goat salad is just so flavorful and delicious.

For mains, we had the cod and veal fillet with a side of potatoes. Everything was really good, the service was excellent and this is a place that we will come back to on future trips.

Came for lunch and was very impressed by their cocktails and food. Quail and cauliflower risotto was our favourite dish of the day. Probably a good idea to book and ask for a table on the ground floor rather than in the basement just cause the natural light from the windows added a nice touch.

Wow wow, so glad we decided to dine here. The food was the most outstanding I've had all week in London. Our waitress was really good and explained dishes very well. For starters the chicken liver pâte was delicious as was the welsch rarebit. The potato side was the best crispiest potatoes with perfect salt. Salsa verde pesto type sauce on the broccoli side was so good, I mopped it up with the potato. Entrees were a nice portion and not heavy which was nice. Desserts were outstanding- brown butter ice cream & also thefresh strawberries. So so delicious! Everything came with garnishes

We found this gem in Shepherds Market. Very small but it works. Food is Tapas-like and best shared. Basement seating is great. Ask about the historic bread ovens. Better than average wine list. Enjoy - but leave the kids at home. Adults only.

Wow! Such amazing food! We stopped by pretty late in the evening & didn't have a reservation. They accommodated us & I'm so glad they did. Everything we had ordered was delicious! Definitely come here if you can. I think the menu changes pretty frequently, but u really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

This restaurant wowed me when I unknowingly sat on the patio for lunch with business colleagues. A minimalist menu for lunch, each dish was fabulous - exquisite ingredients, perfect execution and dynamic flavors.

We had a pork loin for the table and a cod dish. The pork loin was tender and well-sourced with a number homey sides like roast potatoes. The cod was tender, with the texture of the fillet enhanced by great cooking execution.

The wine list was also impressive for such a small destination.

The servers were disinterested generally. This reduces my rating to 4.5, but I've

This will be unacceptably short, since I am writing it a bit late, but I can say that this place is a real gem. Everyone involved has a certain modern sensibility, warmth without pretension.

I ordered a Hanky Panky while waiting for my dinner companion, and had a chat with the bartender. The drink was delicious. The upstairs has a few tables but the main event is downstairs below ground level and the whole restaurant must seat only 20 or so. The ambience is quite intimate and the tables are close but there is excellent sound dampening.

The food here combines classic British recipes and ingredients

We wanted to try this spot due to the good reviews and interesting menu.
we were a party if 4 and were sat downstairs, the space is small and cosy but it lacks ambience, the lighting was not good, dimmed and more more mood would have been nice.
The waitress hurried over and barely introduced herself or the menu to us, instead just said, the kitchen closes at 9.30 so you need to order. Hurriedly we ordered and she took notes, she didn't walk us through the dishes, sizing, complementary etc or suggest we may need more or less, just scribbled down on her notepad.
Turns out we totally over ordered

Before we had the steak I was going to rate 4 stars for all the dishes we had. However, the steak was burnt and it was a big disappointment since the manager strongly recommended this dish.
From the picture, the steak looks very good but the it was burnt outside. We had to cut the parts w/black because it was NOT eatable. Inside was ok, not good not bad.
I don't recommend the steaks and it was totally overpriced, $88 per course. I meant there were a lot of meat but food itself I didn't like.

Pretty darn good, more like a 4.5 in my book. The whipped cod's roe on toast snack is heavenly, do *not* skip it for dear life. I had an ox cheek starter and a duck main which were both done to perfection, but the rice pudding was a bit of a let down. Also, not a cheap place to say the least.
The upper floor is cozy to the point of crampedness, be sure to ask for a lower level table when you book.
The service is marvelous as well.

Most exciting British food in London. This intimate and charming spot serves up some innovative dishes at very reasonable prices. The cocktail and wine menu is also a good value packing a lot of flavor.

Cornish crab with bbq'ed cucumber (5/5) - very light and refreshing crab meat well balanced with vegetables

Whipped cod roe on bread (5/5) - this is more decadent in flavor than foie gras but without feeling as heavy!

Ox heart with red cabbage (5/5) - very tasty and not very heavy

Duck with blood orange and rhubarb (4/5) - well cooked but just didn't stand out in flavor as too different

An exceptional gem of a little restaurant nestled in Shepherd Market. We loved the bar seating upstairs. Service was invariably helpful and friendly. The food was amazing - top notch ingredients and all dishes superbly executed. Some excellent wine options on offer too.

Excellent fare in a great location. There is plenty of hype surrounding this place, it won restaurant of the year 2015 and that, combined with its relatively small interior means it is always busy! The interior is pleasant and not cramped.

All the food was superb, the service excellent. Portion size is very good, we came out full but not stuffed. Wine list is quite expensive to get a decent drop but that's my only gripe.

We ate early but I can imagine if you had a late table it could probably get quite lively in the bar area...looks primed for a lock-in.

Everything is cooked on a wood grill and the flavor is fantastic. It's a cozy spot, we nested around the bar and were comfortable in our small space. The prices are a high but the food is outstanding. I also had a martini and the gin was also outstanding, unfortunately I've forgotten which gin he used to make it. Good for small groups and worth the splurge.

My first time here but, I have to say, top quality food! Isn't it nice when you walk by a pace, browse the menu, walk in, and the good is just yummy. Crab salad starter that was very nice and a monkfish tail main course that was just mouth watering good! If you are in Mayfair call in! You won't be disappointed.

Having dined at Chiltern Firehouse, I was equally eager to try out Kitty Fisher's when I heard it was the new hottest restaurant in town. They don't take reservations online, so you have to call them, but they also only have the booking lines open during two 1-hour windows every day. The first 2 times I called, I was unsuccessful, but when I finally got through, I simply asked them when their next available day was and booked immediately (it was in about 3 months' time). When the day of the reservation neared, the restaurant texted me the day before and asked for confirmation and

Found this wonderful restaurant on one of our first evenings in London. Came back : more times to enjoy wonderful wine and conversation with Tim and some patrons of the restaurant. We dined there on our last evening, and the meal was excellent. You will not go wrong trying this wonderful find. But it won't remain a secret much longer!
