Classis French bistro style ambiance with a nice casual feel and mixed menu…read more This was our first stop after arriving in London from an overseas flight. We were able to grab a reservation for an early dinner the same day. They had the front door/windows open so it feels as if you're dining al fresco, but still inside the restaurant. I was hungry and ordered the steak and fries. The steak came with a pat of herb butter. You can only choose med-rare or well-done. So of course, it was med-rare for me. It was delicious with fantastic flavor, enhanced with the melting herb butter. The fries were crisp and delicious. I don't know what type of sauce came with my steak on the side, but I ended up dipping my fries in them, and it made it a different experience. Thankfully I had room for dessert, so my wife and I split the Birthday Dessert Box. No it wasn't anyone's birthday, but the menu describes this as a golden chocolate orb with vanilla ice cream, honeycomb, chocolate strands, freeze-dried raspberries, gold flakes (didn't notice these), and the server pours hot salted caramel sauce on top when it arrives. This was divine! What a great way to end a fantastic dinner.

Saw this place on OpenTable and decided to make reservations due to the raved about reviews. When…read morewe arrived, everything was such a beautiful fancy floral vintage decor, we were greeted by the house who took our jackets away to put away in the coat closet. We were then seated for a table of two, our server was friendly and attentive and informative on the menu items. We took advantage of their special, which was a plates for about $20-$30. I believe depending on which entrée you get I believe the steak was an upgrade price. Appetizers I have the curry chicken skewers, which were flavorful and delicious and for entrée I had the truffle Parmesan spaghetti with mushrooms, which were delicious!

After walking around the Kensington area looking for a restaurant that didn't need reservations for…read moreon a Saturday night, we stumbled across Cote and they took us right in. It had a pleasant ambience to it, like a little mid scale camparison of Woodranch, as the waiters still served you wearing aprons. The food selection was good, they had a variety from pastas, salads, and meats. My husband and I ordered the 10oz Ribeye, usually served with Frites, but we asked if we can change it out to creamy mashed potatos. My daughter had the sirloin steak with frites, and my son had a cheeseburger with frites. The food was delicious, and the service was great. Our server was a gentleman named Daniel, who I understand worked at a different location, and was just there to fill-in that night. His mannerisms was sweet and service was amazing. When he found out we were from the US, he got excited and showed us some memorabilia from his visit to the US that he considered good luck. The desserts were also delicious. The pistaschio creme brûlée and chocolate cake was a delight.

This is not the first time I have been to Cotes and it certainly won't be the last.

Very disappointing experience at Fait Maison. We were a group of 9 people and unfortunately both…read morethe food quality and service fell below expectations. The main courses arrived around 5 minutes after the starters were served. We asked the staff to wait until we finished the starters, so they took the mains back. When they returned the dishes later, the food was cold. We then requested fresh meals, but the food came back again within less than 10 minutes, which honestly made it seem reheated rather than freshly prepared. Dishes like okra and biryani normally require proper preparation time. The biryani itself was especially disappointing -- mostly rice with only a few small cubes of chicken. Later in the evening we were told that last orders were at 9:30pm. When we asked for drinks, we were told only tea and karak were available, then shortly afterwards informed that even karak could not be served because the person handling the machine had already left. That honestly felt unprofessional and poorly managed. We were also repeatedly reminded about a 2-hour table policy, despite being a large group and despite the restaurant being nearly empty at the time. To be fair, one waiter genuinely tried his best to help and the service charge was removed, which we appreciated. However, overall the experience did not reflect the standard or reputation the restaurant promotes.

Foie gras is banned where we live and it was quite a treat. There was an ample selection and variety of French cheeses on la planche de fromage -- all were fab and accompanied by crostini and fruit.

Take note of the motivational quote, "There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs." You can also dine al fresco. It was wonderful to find a taste of Paris in London.
