We arrived right at menu change from Breakfast to Brunch/lunch and she allowed us to order from either menu and never made us feel like a bother. We ended up eating breakfast there just about every day and were greeted with a smile and lots of love every time we came in. Blaring, her daughters Ioanna and Julie were amazing and helped us each time. The food was so good and we tried new things each time, but the real winner of the show was the Latte. It is so good there with the honeycomb. Even as we were running out the house for our plane, I stopped in for one last latte. I absolutely recommend Bill's and suggest you just make it a regular spot because it feels like somewhere that they will know your name within the first week!

We showed up late 10p (on a Wednesday) just as the kitchen was closing and they still took our order. The music vibe was 90s hip hop and RnB Jayz, Foxy, Brandy, etc. If you are looking for a good time, good food, and drinks this is the place to go. Oh yea, Fri/Sat they bring in a DJ!

If you've never had that before, I would describe it as a marriage between a blueberry and pickled olive. It's more tart and sour. It's not what I expected and I am not a fan of the gooseberry. Though, luckily, I do like beets! I love that beets are popular here in London. Of course, for balance, I ordered a small portion of the Mac and cheese with truffle (add 2 pounds more). It was pretty good! I cleaned the entire bowl. The service at this place is really good. We were seated right away (perhaps because my colleague made a reservation). Their menu has a wide variety for everyone.

My colleague…read morebooked us into Mabel's for their Christmas Dinner and she had been handling the booking, until she left the company. After her last day, the sales and reservations team contacted me and were so helpful in explaining what had been done up to this point and asked if I needed any help or anything extra adding to the booking. They were very flexible with us and all the staff I dealt with were very friendly and helpful. They made things quite easy by using an online system and allowing us to pay online as well. Not everyone signed up for the Christmas Dinner so they allowed us to apply the rest of the money to drinks. When I arrived, the staff were very helpful in getting us seated, although the one thing we weren't expecting was to be carded at the door. Fortunately the students brought their IDs, but it is something I will note for future bookings. They set up the 'library' area at the back of the restaurant for us and it couldn't have been more perfect. There was another Christmas party next to us and a bar in the area that way we didn't have to run in and out of the room to get drinks. Before everyone arrived, the staff introduced themselves and we talked through some of the logistics and even though I had brought little name cards with everyone's orders... they also had name cards and Christmas Crackers :) . The table was beautifully set and the students were really impressed. When one of the students arrived, they told me that after they had placed their pre-order they became vegan... everything they ordered was meat-based. So I had a talk with the staff, not expecting them to be able to change much, but they were able to cater for them. Because the staff were quite busy in delivering food and removing dishes, we asked the students to go to the bar, give them our tab number, and order their drinks there. It worked quite well although it space for the staff to get through was limited. The food was delicious! We had a couple of spare dishes because some of the students didn't turn up, and I was worried about food waste, but the students enjoyed the food so much they ate the spare starters, mains, and desserts! Everything that came out looked so good. I had the slow-cooked beef with gravy and veg... it was so tender and delicious. I think the only dish that the students didn't enjoy as much was the Christmas Pudding with Brandy Sauce. Many of them aren't familiar Christmas Pudding, so I think it was a bit of a surprise for them. However, they were able to share the spare desserts. What was left of our tab we applied to the service charge. Overall, we had such a lovely time... the atmosphere, the detail, the staff, and the food were all excellent and I hope we can book our group in again!

It is usually always crowded after 5PM, and being that it's the after-work drinking spot for the local business people, simple conversation is a no-go. I was always drawn to this place for it's fancy atmosphere and clever marketing touting the unique and enchanting cocktails, as well as its top-quality food. I am sad to say, however, that none of it lived up to the hype. If you're planning to grab a bite to eat for dinner, reservations are a MUST, and highly recommended at least a day in advance. Given that the Google reviews were warning me against the burgers, I asked the waiter for his best recommendation and he suggested I get the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger with Chipotle Mayo, and an order sweet potato fries thrown in for good measure. It was all good; nothing to write home about. The flavor in the burger mostly came from the chipotle mayo, which could hardly be called spicy. And true to the reviews, the fries were on the softer/ soggy side. The cocktails, while interesting on paper, were hardly above standard-quality. The Espresso Martini was "meh," the 'Art Gallery,' while perfectly sweet and creamy took 15 minutes to make and less time to drink- even when taking really small sips. The 'Good Night Out' was the fanciest of the bunch, with Tanqueray 10 Gin, Crème de Mûre, lemon, and gold shimmer; also not as enchanting as advertised, but a good refreshing way to finish off a heavy meal. The one good thing I'll say about this place is that while packed and overly-noisy, the food and drinks aren't as expensive as they could be, given that this joint is in one of the priciest parts of the city. And, what better way to end your evening after catching a free mass at St. Paul's Cathedral next door? You do, however, get what you pay for, so don't get too excited. The final downside: Due to the high volume of customers, the service tends to be pretty slow; however, that doesn't stop them from limiting your table time to 2 hours, despite taking forever to take your orders. In short, don't get too comfortable.

Highly recommend The Ivy if you're in central London.

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.
