    The ambiance of the place is fantastic and the food was equally delicious. You seat yourself but there are so many tables and the service was quick and super easy. One of the best margaritas I've had too!

    After walking Hyde Park we needed a rest so we stopped in here for ice cream. The girl refused to give us half of one flavor and half of another. We settled on Rocky Road and it was far too sweet--never mind she gave us barely a scoop. On the plus side, this place has an amazing view and lots and lots of seats, plus restrooms.

    Extremely busy restaurant but T least they got enough staff to keep the turn over quick and tidy! We got a chicken pizza and a prawn/avocado salad. In summary, chicken pizza lacked chicken, and the avocado salad had 2 visible pieces of avocados that was about a tea spoon size. Flavour was good, but when you basically didn't get what you ordered, you can't really give a good score. Yes it was a tat pricy too. At least the view of nice.

    A nice surprise On this hot day we did spend a bunch of hours in Hyde Park. Naturally we got hungry after a while and this place was closest to us. Location couldn't be better, with great views of The Serpentine (at least outside). There is a good number of seats outside and a lot more inside. We travelled with our dog, so an outdoor seat was our choice (no dogs inside - but why sit inside anyways). It was really packed and no seats availabe. The waitrees helped us looking for table, which was nice. We kept looking when she came back after a while pointing us to an available table. That was really nice, especially given how busy it was that day. Kudos to the staff! We ordered a pint, a summer berries cider and a Rucola / Prosciutto Pizza. Service again was friendly and pretty fast too. Drinks were nice and cold and - for London - fairly priced. The Pizza was a good choice, good flavours and fresh ingredients. Nice twist with the Rucola on top. We didn't expect much from this Restaurant. But we were positively surprised by the really nice staff and the food quality.

    Shucks kids I'm updating a review in London for the 2nd time! This is weird. I feel weird. Anywaaaayyyyy Serpentine is fantastic. Their pizzas are bangin' and you order food at the front. If you want takeaway they've got a lovely variety of sandwiches for your convenience. But seriously get the pizza. It's bangin'. That's such a weird word.

    Bought four 99s (vanilla soft serve ice cream cone with a Cadbury Flake bar) here on an outing to Hyde Park. They tasted great and it's a must-do while visiting London and Hyde Park but they are definitely overpriced.

    I am surprised no one has given this place a 5 star rating yet! I cannot think of a better place to go in London than Serpentine on a beautiful summer evening! It has the perfect ingredient to have a great time - Located in the center of lush green Hyde Park, brilliant outdoor seating area by the serpentine river, the most beautiful place to sit and watch the sun set, great pizza, Pimms Pitchers and great crowd! I mean what else can one possibly ask for from a restaurant? I have been here on several occasions and also hosted my birthday party here last year and it is always a pleasure coming back here. In my last visit yesterday when the sun finally decided to shine on London after a long wait, Serpentine was packed and yet the service was so fast and the spicy pepperoni pizza couldn't taste any better along with my Pimm's Pitcher! The price is very decent for its location and quality, I mean come on its Hyde Park are you expecting brick lane price here? Verdict: I am in love with this place and will continue to be till it stands tall and beautiful in the middle of Hyde Park! P.S Do try their cakes, they are delicious!

    Fentimans ginger beer REALLY has a kick... proceed with headgear!

    On the eve of Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday, I found myself enjoying a romantic second date in the picturesque, centuries old, Hyde Park. After my barrel-o-laughs Brazilian beau and I spent a good amount of time soaking up vitamin D from an uncharacteristically sunny day, we set out on an excursion to diffuse our hunger pains. Tucked away in the rolling green hillside was none other than Serpentine Bar and Kitchen. Instantly familiar with the site, my guy informed me that he'd once visited Serpentine with his mom. Nearly faint from starvation, we decided to dine in. I was initially impressed with the overall structure of the building. The inconspicuous architectural design, which almost appears to have been chiseled from the lakeside by process of mechanical erosion, can best be described as an aesthetically pleasing contemporary chameleon. Spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of visitors, Serpentine offers 360 degree views of Hyde Park for indoor diners. Lunch al fresco immerses guests in a sea of bluebells, as well as a variety of trademark British foliage and landscapes. After placing our orders, my guy and I waited for our server at table number 3. (Tables are numbered, which reduces confusion for patrons and staff alike) I was satisfied with my choice of thin crust vegetable pizza with rosemary fries. I went out on a limb and decided to wash everything down with my very first ginger beer. While recovering from Fentimans unrelenting roundhouse kick, I sat and enjoyed my beau savour every morsel of his open faced steak sandwich and more than a few of my rosemary fries. Overall, Id highly recommend a meal at Serpentine to anyone who finds themselves in Hyde park in the near or distant future.

    I must come to this place when I visit London, Especially for beackfast very nice view.

    This place was really a nice environment to spend a summer day. The selections were varied and seemed fresh. The layout was really nice and not too crowded considering it was a Saturday in the summer. There were selections for the kids and coffee for tired adults. The prices were not at all out of line with what one expects from London. Hyde park makes a wonderful background for this simple fast casual restaurant.I look forward to returning to Serpentine on my next visit to London.

    Strawberries and cream, perfect for a treat in the park!

The chips were thick-cut, properly salted, and tasted like real chip shop fries instead of frozen fast food fries. The place was completely packed, so I ended up eating on the stairs about a block away, honestly felt like part of the experience.

(I heard the non GF version was also excellent.) Platter came with flavorful mushy peas, tartar sauce, and a spicy mayo (or currry for the non GF platter). Chips were large and delicious. Portion was huge, and easily shareable. Delicious!! Service: It was ok. We waited in line for a really long time (more than an hour) but we were checked on from time to time. Once we were seated and ordered, no one really checked in, but we asked if we needed something. Ambiance: Cute outdoor seating. In door seating was okay. Reservations get to go into a back room which seemed nicer. Lovely side street in a crazy busy popular area. It's a solid 4.5 stars for what it is because the food was so good. I'd return. Tip: Make a reservation a couple of weeks in advance, or be prepared to wait...a long time...Or, skip the line to order takeaway and go enjoy your food!

It took 25 mins to place our drink order- then about 30 more mins to get our food, after placing that order. Then we had to wait to place a dessert order. Then we had to wait for the check. One word for this comes to mind...'waiting'. We found ourselves waiting every step of the way for our waiter to acknowledge us. Honestly I can forgive A LOT if people are nice but that wasn't the case with our server. Low energy, not very warm and welcoming and slow. Actually to be fair, I got a smile from the busboy when I was on my way to the restroom- perhaps the 2 should switch roles if the restaurant is looking for repeat visits or nice reviews. Btw- the manager...not exactly sure what he was doing. One last thing, I've had sea bass in many restaurants and never had anyone leave the skin on-Just not what I expected. This restaurant gets 2 thumbs down for me. Go to Bills right around the corner - save some money - and get a smile from the staff and a nice greeting.

They had room for party of 4 and it was Monday night, so "butcher" pricing, which means you pay what they pay by the weight for your meat. There was a chalk board that listed all the cuts by weight and as they sold, they crossed them off. There were still plenty available in a variety of cuts when we arrived around 8pm. I love that the entire restaurant is underground. We ended up getting an 800kg ribeye and it was the perfect amount of meat for us. We did supplement with lots of sides including the bone marrow, mushrooms on toast, beef dripping chips, and sweet potato. My favorite was the sweet potato, which was ash roasted for 10 hours and you could taste it. They all went will with the steak that came out in about 20 minutes, pre-sliced with a nice presentation. We also got a few of the cheese and pickle, which was a hit with my wife. Our server was great and we enjoyed our time and meal very much!
