    Hit the spot! Classic burger and frites
    Jane L.

    Such a cute spot we found when we were out shopping. The place was adorable. So was the host. True Londoner, stylish and kind. The burgers were so good and the frites. Came out just how we asked. So yummy. Give them a try!

    We stopped in for brunch here on a recent trip to London after wandering for a while. There aren't many brunch places in the area, but even if there were, Bill's is blowing them out of the water! They've really mastered the farmhouse feel, creating a cozy restaurant. We were able to walk in as a party of 2 around 10 AM on a Friday without a problem, but by the time we left, there were many people waiting all around the front entrance. Food was great and service was quick and efficient. Our food actually arrived before our drinks! Overall, highly recommend Bill's if you're in the area for breakfast. My only complain is that they have a large restaurant, but they've packed a lot of tables into it. Like I said, it was super busy, so totally understand they need the space, but it does feel a little bit like you're sitting on top of the table next to you.

    So glad we got reservations, this place was a gem! Service, food, drinks, atmosphere were all amazing! Highly recommend Bill's.

    I wouldn't have known about this spot had it not been on the London Marathon free burger list..but baaaa-by let me tell you....this would definitely be a return spot for me when I return to London. The ambiance is great. The waiters are fast and in sync with each other. It can be a casual vibe with a group of friends or a nice spot for a date. The burger...omg that burger was AMAZING. It was tender and flavorful and juicy. The bourbon came in a tiny squeeze bottle so it didn't burn off while cooking. Overall this was a 10 out of 10 experience!

    A great spot for large groups on a late night. Bill's servers up excellent cocktails as well as a wide array of food options. Large parties will love the amount of space and seating they have to offer as well as the variety. Everyone is able to find something that they will want. If you're in a pinch to find somewhere to eat, Bill's is a great place to stop by!

    We absolutely loved Bill's the first time we were there. The food was great (still was this last time, mostly), but the server made all the difference. This time, it was more frustrating. For one, we were sat next to the ordering station, which we didn't mind, as it was right by the open door and a big table, which we prefer. But our waiter, who literally was there every minute or two, never once checked on us, forgot about our orange juice and coffee, and despite being right at the ordering station, had to be asked three times and a fourth by the manager to get our check. Plus we got to see a lot of the back and forth bickering between the manager at the front door (who was awesome) and the two servers who were on the floor. They weren't that busy that a friendly check in one of the two dozen times you stood next to our table should have been overlooked or basically being forgotten about was excusable. Last visit we were at Bill's three times. This time we only went the once. I'm sure we'll be back when we return in a few months.

    Bill's was recommended by a receptionist and we were so happy we stopped in. The entire staff was full of energy and so nice. All of our dishes were amazing. I loved all the decor inside and setup so cute. What a great find!

    Proper English Breakfast! It was amazing and service was great. There was no wait time on a Saturday so was seated immediately which was great and food came out quickly.

    This restaurant was our second choice as the place we intended on having dinner at was fully booked. It has a very nice atmosphere and vibe inside with good service. The food was just ok. We ordered the chicken 2 ways and the fish pie, and while they were nice, it wasn't memorable.

    Highlights/Lowlights 1. Gluten-Free Bread Available 2. Cool Ambiance 3. Decent Food Stopped in on a Friday morning to try a traditional English breakfast. The two of us did not have a reservation but we were seated right away. The ambiance of this place is super cool! There are lots of ornate details and it feels kind of vintage-y in a modern way. There are tons of breakfast options as I believe this place is primarily known for brunch. There are also specialty coffee drinks, brunch cocktails and wine/beer. I ordered a flat white coffee and a traditional English breakfast (this was my last day in London and I hadn't tried one yet!). They were able to do gluten-free toast which was really good! The rest of the English breakfast was just ok, nothing horrible but probably something I wouldn't order again. Service was friendly but a little slow. It took us awhile to get our bill, even after asking for it. I would recommend this Soho spot for anyone looking to grab brunch in London!

    I came here for dinner while in London on holiday and I loved it! The service was excellent - the waiter even helped create a cocktail for us that wasn't on the menu! Great ambience for dinner - lots of fun! I wish I'd come back for brunch the next day. The sticky duck salad was more of a lettuce wrap but it was so unique! Definitely a hit of the night and unlike anything I'd had before. Grilled lamb rump was a huge hit as well. Those are the best two items in the menu. I also ordered the sea bass and it was more like a curry meal than a fish. Fortunately I like curry so I was happy but there's a chance someone could be surprised by this.

    Service, food, ambience, vibes, sophistication. Consistently just perfect! Best in London by far.read more

    My sister-in-law wanted to go to Sketch while we were in London, so I booked a table for us (plus…read moremy husband and brother) on our last night in town. When I looked it up, I learned that it had three Michelin stars, and that I had been once before, on a random date in 2009. Sketch, it turns out, is about five bars and restaurants in one. The part I remembered was the East Bar & Pods, with the giant egg-shaped bathrooms. Dinner was in the Lecture Room & Library, a completely different space with a completely different feel. It was spectacular, the decor bright and over the top, an opulent Wonderland fantasy. We sat in giant armchairs in muppet colors, surrounded by expensive upholstery and crystal. Service was impeccable, warm and attentive, well deserving of those Michelin stars. We drank well, starting with a round of cocktails. I liked my Manhattan, with bourbon, pineapple rum, sweet vermouth, crème de cacao, muscovado, and chocolate mole and Creole bitters. The Champs-Élysées was great, too, with Henessy VSOP, green Chartreuse, lemon, sugar, and peach bitters. I was also impressed with the mint-green Grasshopper, a dangerously drinkable mix of two rums, Briottet menthe verte and cacao blanc, Velvet Falernum, and cream. Once dinner started in earnest, we enjoyed the wine pairing, seven thoughtfully selected wines to go with our tasting menu. They were all lovely, and added a lot to the experience. We opted for the tasting menu over the a la carte, which offered more choice but actually cost £10 more. This was the right choice, no decisions and a stream of surprising delights, starting with a spread of welcome bites. There was cured sea bass with strawberry and a foam of green peas, a mussel with green curry, a tiny tartlet of parmesan and chorizo. Compressed watermelon with Campari, mozzarella rolled in zucchini, a sandwich of shiso, green apple, and lime. Two little jellies came served on ice: a burst of tomato and olive, and another of dirty martini. Bread service brought butter brioche, fennel focaccia, and a brown bread with candied walnut and currant. A trio of butters, too, salted, caramel, and citrus. Then, the first course of the tasting menu. Cornish mackerel and shellfish mariniere with leek and Dijon mustard, as well as duck foie gras Chantilly with confit red bell peppers and nasturtium leaf ice cream. Superb. Course two was all about lobster. Native lobster tail coated in carrot reduction with lemon, with borlotti beans, smoked aubergine, green strawberry, and zucchini. Then a lettuce roll stuffed tight with claw meat, along with fromage blanc, mint, and sweet corn. The third course was built around tomato. Tomato foam emulsified with olive oil, topped with tapenade and pistachio, and dried tomato leaf with oregano; a sort of tostada with tomato, grilled spinach leaves, onion, caper, and shortcrust; tomato pan-fried with chickpea flower on a Montgomery cheddar mousse with pink pepper; a cool, intense clarified consommé with tarragon. Next, a unique blue fin tuna tartare, with Japanese rice, Oscietra caviar, vodka pearls, and smoked eel sauce infused with pinecones. Then, a wild sea bass fillet cooked in demi-sel butter and wrapped in cabbage, served over squid with anchovy, tomatillo, and scallion with chorizo. Our last savory course was French black leg chicken with Perrier-Jouët Brut "sauce ivoire," summer leaves fondue, fresh almonds, and apricot coulis; as well as confit chicken thigh with potato crystalline and sorrel with raspberry. Dinner ended with a dessert extravaganza. If my notes are to be trusted, we had poached strawberry and rhubarb with pineapple granita, wasabi, and finger lime; orange yogurt foam with hazelnuts; an il flotante with peach and sangria jelly; rhum baba with orange foam and pink grapefruit marmalade; a Chartreuse parfait with white chocolate, celery, and verjus; and a chocolate tart with layers of pastry dough and crispy capers. Finally, a few mignardises, which I failed to document. It was 11:30 by the time we settled up, but we asked to see the rest of Sketch and ended up staying until one in the morning. We skipped the East Bar, which was too loud, but used the egg pods. Less impressive this time around, reminiscent of airplane bathrooms. The Lecture Room bathroom, on the other hand, was a Vegased out infinity room. We had a nightcap in the Glade, a stunningly beautiful lounge with excellent cocktails. I had the Glade twist on the Kingston Negroni, with pineapple rum, cachaça, Campari, vermouth, strawberry, and tomato water. My husband had a Gin Basil Smash with yuzu liqueur, basil, and citrus. I believe my brother and sister-in-law had a Gimlet with sake, Belvedere, tutti-frutti, and olive brine, and a Porn Star Martini with Belvedere, passion fruit, citrus, sugar, vanilla, and Champagne. A+ all around. If you want to treat yourself in London, Sketch is a truly marvelous destination. Splurge on dinner, or just grab a drink and use the loo.

We had seen Rovi highlighted on the TV show Somebody Feed Phil, and we were excited by how vegetable-forward the place looked to be. This is a place for adult tastes. I think we would've really struggled to find dishes that our daughters would enjoy eating here. Rovi comes from chef Yotam Ottolenghi, an Israeli-British chef who primarily cooks modern middle eastern cuisine. The thesis of this place is to "celebrate vegetables from root to tip", and they really do that. There are meat items available, but vegetables are definitely the star throughout the menu. First of all, I'll say that this is probably the best restaurant we've eaten at all year. Every dish had a specific flavor profile, and usually multiple distinct flavors could be felt in each dish. It's even hard to pick out a favorite or even a least favorite, because everything was so good and so unique. The first dish we were served were the aubergine tops. They were perfectly crispy and not too oily. I could taste the natural aubergine flavor, and there were plenty of other spices to complement it. The burrata came next. It was complemented by generous portions of fresh mint and olives. The burrata itself was extremely fresh and light. Like all the other dishes, there was plenty of acid that went well with the core flavors. A cucumber salad was next, which was really highlighted by this amazing black sesame sauce with peanuts. Those little hits of black sesame made the entire dish. The grilled onions were recommended by the server, and they featured on the Phil show. I can see why. I have never liked the natural flavor of onions, especially green onions. But this dish had grilled the onions to a level of caramelization that made it really easy to enjoy the onion without its sharp natural taste. There was also an incredibly fresh ricotta below it that ate almost like a tofu. Either this or the Aubergine tops were our favorites for the night. The tomato salad were a seasonal item, and the tomatoes came directly from the restaurant's own garden. This dish was good, but relative to the other dishes, this one was the most conventional in terms of flavoring. The celeriac shawarma was also recommended by the server. It's kind of bold to put just celeriac as the main texture filling inside a pita and call it a shawarma. But the celeriac itself was very meaty and satisfying, and I didn't miss the meat at all. The pita itself was also very fresh. I should note, we had also ordered a separate order of pita, and the tahini sauce that came with it was also a highlight. The final dish was the lamb and pistachio kofta, and this was the one really traditional meaty dish we got. Even in this dish, there were all sorts of additional vegetable elements, with a rhubarb salad and a really nice yogurt. The meatballs were done extremely well, and tasted like the best possible combination of lamb meatballs and falafel. This was a real highlight of our whole UK trip, and I would gladly go back if the chance were to arise.

    I was a bit skeptical based on how heavily promoted add-ons and merchandise were pushed during the…read morereservation process but the food lived up to the hype. The restaurant is gorgeous as well but what really makes the entire experience is the staff. From the host to the waitstaff, everyone was beyond lovely and kind. Special shout outs to Jacob from NY and Bella from Vancouver BC that were just the best. We started with the artichokes and radishes, both of which were lovely. We did the mushroom entree and the homemade tahini and pitas were to die for. Last but not least the sticky toffee soft serve was delish - I ate every single bite. Great dinner spot for my first proper visit to London!

We arrived early and sat in the bar/lounge area to sip cocktails while we waited. I ordered the Velvet Eclipse, essentially an espresso martini. It was rich, not too sweet, and not too bitter. It was perfect. They also brought out green olives and savory seasoned crackers for us to snack on. They kept them refilled as well, which was nice. The service was fantastic and we never wanted for anything. We did their three course menu with the wine pairing. The Sommelier was brilliant and I loved everything he selected. To start, they brought out a bread basket and amuse bouche which consisted of a savory cream puff filled with a liver mousse and a little tartlet. Both were excellent bites. For my first course, I had the risotto primavera. It was cooked to perfection and the saltiness of the Parmesan with the sweetness of peas was incredible. Next, I had their steak, which was absolutely perfect. It came with a mushroom ketchup that really elevated the meat's natural flavors. For dessert, I had the Congolese chocolate torte, which was incredibly rich while having such a light texture. Each course was excellent and imaginative. Be sure to do the wine pairing, it's well worth it! This was truly a Michelin star experience!

Every staff member from the hostess to the servers made me feel very welcome and were so enthusiastic about the menu. I chose courses -- a duck, pork and guinea fowl terrine as a starter, cumbrian lamb as my main, and wild honey ice cream for dessert. To drink I believe I had an English sparkling wine to start and then a Malbec for the lamb. It was all so delicious, I didn't want it to end. And for dessert the server brought out an actual honeycomb to the table and served freshly cut (?) the honey into the ice cream. The ice cream also came with freshly baked madelines. There was also a recommendation to pair the dessert with a whiskey (the name of which I can't remember--ha!ha!) I accepted the recommendation, and though it was a simple dessert, it was one of the best things I have eaten. The whiskey made a wonderful pairing. Highly recommend this establishment!

Got the gravy on the side, didn't think I'd use all of it, before I knew it, it was all gone.

I will be mixing mustard into my mashed potatoes from now on. Originally came for the sticky toffee pudding, so of course we ended with that. Marvelous! The toffee sauce is so comforting and rich, the cake was so moist, and it was perfectly balanced with the ice cream. Didn't detect any dates, maybe they were too finely chopped. Also the apple and blackberry crumble just didn't hit the same; it was slightly dry and on the sour side (maybe don't take a bite directly after the pudding!)
