"Having been here many times over the years, I am disappointed to be writing this review. We booked midday lunch as a group of 4, arriving early to await opening, as we were going to theatre matinee show. The manager? opened the door then let it go nearly in my face.. no welcoming hello or greeting. We then waited ages for drinks and then had to ask for food order to be taken. Meanwhile everyone who arrived after us had been attended to. Then a 45 minute wait for meals (again we had to ask) which left us with no time for pudding, coffee etc. My beef bourguignon was very fatty and unpleasant.. the other 3 meals looked much nicer. Sadly I won’t be returning."

"Very disappointed with this place. The service was very slow and all over the place. They looked massively understaffed with only 3 waitresses serving the room from what I could see. That said, the waitress we had was very good but was never going to be able to provide the service you’d expect with a restaurant so busy. One of the main courses arrived 10 minutes after the others (which had to be chased), and they missed part of the order as well which we had to remind them off. Worst of all was the steak tartare. It’s a dish I love and often select this when eating out. I have to say that this was just the worst ever a pile of mush with an awful texture and tasted just as bad. It was as though they had put this in a blender and left it for a few days. I actually started feeling ill a few hours afterwards and didn’t feel right until the following day."

"Really convenient for Théâtre it’s next to Gielgud has low expectation but meal was good service was friendly food was a little slow but enjoyed it overall Was very disappointed to be hugely embarrassed when staff refused or did not recognise the open dining cheque other restaurants have the courtesy to advise whether they accept cheque or not I was hugely embarrassed in front of my partner I saved it for tonight now perhaps will run out of time to use it So the restaurant likes the booking but said did not understand the cheque never seen one before so be wary if you plan to use a cheque"

"I last reviewed The Kings Head a few years ago when it had changed hands and had gone down hill badly! I'm now delighted to report the current landlord has got the place back on its feet both as a pub and a restaurant. We had Sunday Lunch on 1st January and the food was nothing short of superb. The best roast beef I've had in many a year and the yorkshire and vegetables were beautifully prepared and imaginative. My wife's vegetarian option was lovely and she ate every last bit! The service was lovely, making us feel at ease, unrushed and well cared for. It was also great value. We will be back soon. It's so good to have our local back again. Thanks to all involved!"

"my friends and I enjoyed the 3-course party set menu 21.5) and it is certainly a good example for Mediterranean cuisine for a beginner I had the supposed fresh king skallops', served in a citrus juice. a bit cheesy, but definitiw a good choice for the starter. for my main course I decided for the restaurants recommended underwriting court, confit lamb. the lamb is slowly boiled and then pressed into a cylindrical shape. the meat melts on the rim and is very succulent a good place to go for a group dinner, reasonable price and a wonderful worth. make sure to make a reservation!"

"Food was great and service was quick, but they just haven’t got the hang of COVID security. The restaurant was largely empty, but of the tables in use we were all bunched close together. The young waiter wore his mask and was careful in his food and drink handling but the waitress did not wear a mask or visor at all, completely against all rules of current hygiene and safety"

"great food, great size of dishes, fast and courteous service. we were full and satisfied; I would recommend this place. I had a lamb moussaka while my friend had a grilled halloumi salat: both delicious; salat was warm a nice eating the “fork festival” offer included net, burger and chef specialties. it was good for us, as this is what we have come for, but if they were willing to start / desserts it would be full price. while we waited for the meal, we were served with olive and warm bread: we didn't wait long."

"We had a pre theatre meal here as we were going to County Hall to see a play so didn't have a lot of time and only ate a main course each. Two of us had duck, one had chicken and one had lamb shank. We all agreed that the food was just OK very average to be honest. The portion sizes were adequate but sides like potatoes and veggies weren't included with our duck meals and prices were high to us anyway, so the food was expensive. Drinks were also a bit high and when you added 12.5% service charge on top, the meal really did cost far too much. Service was very good, though we had to chase the waiter at the end to pay for our bill as we had to get to the play! The venue was very nice. Would we go again? No."

"The restaurant was quite full at 7:30pm with large parties and noisy children. In fairness it was Valentine's Day. Whilst it is always nice to see families with children dining together the somewhat intimate ambience the brasserie seems to target does not seem best suited to young diners. Possibly the problem is that hotel does not offer a more suitable restaurant option for those with youngsters. The bar area serves food but is rather large and not exactly cosy. The food was OK. The onion soup was extremely tasty but the cheese in it was surprisingly over generous making it a struggle to eat. The wine list is as you would expect in a London hotel, was quite expensive but with some excellent options. I made the mistake of asking for a brief pause between starters and main which as it always inevitably does, turned into an unacceptably long delay."

"Great food and lovely staff. Awful family with lots of kids aged around 8-10 that ran around the restaurant, past our table almost constantly playing chase, somewhat spoiled the visit. We had to change tables to avoid them and the shrieking was really dreadful. After moving tables to a different area we really enjoyed it. The food was amazing and the strawberry soufflé was to die for. It would have been nice if the manager had intervened and had a word with the parents as their behaviour was completely unacceptable. I don’t like complaining and it made me rather uncomfortable having to do so. Other customers were clearly bothered by them and they nearly knocked another elderly gentleman over. On the plus side, it’s a beautiful building and the staff are so lovely. The food is fab and I would recommend it to everyone"

"I visited Putney Canteen to meet my friend Danielle Kinsella for brunch a few weeks ago. I had heard about this place on Zomato and wanted to try it out. I opted for the vegetarian breakfast, which included 2 poached eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, a vegetarian sausage, a hash brown, spinach, and toast. I was disappointed that the eggs were overcooked and not runny. Despite this, the rest of the breakfast was a good value for the price. We also shared the delicious banana pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup. We sat near the kitchen and enjoyed reading more about the restaurant."

"We made a reservation through Groupon for Sunday lunch for four at this hotel, even though we are local residents and had never been there before. The hotel has a 4-star rating, so we thought it would be a good opportunity to try something new. However, we were disappointed with our experience. The dining room did not meet our expectations - the tables did not have tablecloths as shown in the website photos, and some had linen napkins while others had cheap paper napkins. Despite booking in advance and mentioning it was my daughter's 12th birthday, no table had been prepared for us. The menu was just an A4 paper, which is not what we would expect from a 4-star establishment. There was no drinks menu available, so we had to make do with what was offered. The food was mediocre at best - my husband's beer was described as stale, my pate was served with poor quality bread and not enough onion jam, and the prawn cocktail was average. The roast dinners were also disappointing, with poorly cooked potatoes and frozen vegetables. Dessert options were limited, and the lemon tart we chose was unremarkable. The lack of tea or coffee offered was also disappointing. Overall, the service and quality of the food need improvement before we would consider returning. It is a shame to leave such a negative review, but the owners should take note and make necessary changes to attract more customers. Additionally, having a consistent standard across all tables, providing better quality ingredients, and improving service would eliminate the need to rely on Groupon for business. The potential is there for this hotel to be a great dining destination, but changes need to be made."

"My friend and myself came here for afternoon tea as we had a voucher. The waitress very kindly moved us outside as it was a lovely day. We asked for no salmon as I was pregnant and my friend doesn't eat fish, the Waitress offered us to replace them with ham and cheese sandwiches. The salmon arrived on the sandwich platter anyway, it was taken back and changed but when it came back there were less sandwiches on the plate? A waiter took over the service and was not easy to locate for tea and coffee refills. Unfortunetly the scones were stale but still edible. Overall the experience was ok but I wouldn't come here again for afternoon tea or food. The bar area looks ok for a drink."

"The staff in this restaurant are outstanding. They always go above and beyond without being intrusive. Even the guy who brings out the food from the kitchen stood in a very professional way with one arm behind his back and the other balancing the tray of food but he still managed to greet and acknowledge us when we came in and left. My elderly husband tends to mumble, so through no fault of their own they have him the wrong dessert. Everyone was so apologetic and offered us free coffee which we declined so they gave us two free kir royals instead which was most welcome. Excellent training- the staff here could certainly teach other establishments a thing or two about catering, as the food is delicious and well presented, and how to treat customers."

"he personal was beautiful and has included our needs. we came into a large group and they could put us and do this with a smile. my only chewing gum would be the odd proportion of yogurt on granola (even tee spoon yogurt on all pieces of granola). Of course, it was dry although my friend did not have the mut to ask me so that it is really on her.Worth a visit and quite charming I would say."

"Sunday dinner was okay, but could have been better. the roast beef and roast lamb was cooked for our lust, we prefer it on the rare side! I think our meals were blocked and must have been a delay in serving because the vege and grave were on the cool side. not very cold enough to send back. but would have been better to serve immediately if clad and perhaps the engraving in a cripple on the table, where it will keep the heat longer! the workers were attentive and pleasant, though. and the atmosphere was improved when the log fire was illuminated:"

"An interesting mixed bag here for me today. Context.... Movable feast... where dozens of people descend on a venue for a starter, or a main, or a desert. Let's start with the service....very good. all of the waiting staff were genuinely interested in making our stay is good. Natalie is awsome... give her a bonus. Soufle for starter. it was OK. not particularly light, volumous or a taste extravaganza. cheeky little pot of sauce was OK. 660ml of Kronenbourg was north of ÂŁ7 (really no need for that price in Nch) Summary.... I assume the quality was diminished to cater for the larger numbers of customers at one time. But on my experience.... too expensive for the food and beer for the quality. Staff are great."
"Overall, 3 out of 5 so 'good '. Starters were tasty, though the Camembert was slightly underdone (still a little solid in middle) and choux pastry a little stale. 'Vegan Burger ' was excellent, as were the french fries. The Beef Burger, though tasty had a pretty 'tough ' and 'grizzly ' beef patty and a bit overdone. Service friendly, and given it was christmas and very busy no high expectations here."

"We ate at Cote on 11th October, 17 of us for a work meal. We had a fantastic experience, we were well looked after from the minute we walked in. Our waiter was attentive throughout. The food came out promptly for all of us, and was fresh/hot and delicious. We ordered a range of mains and puddings, and everything was tasty and enjoyed by all. For a large group I was concerned about the service/quality of food, but everything was perfect and we will absolutely be back. Thank you!"
