Reviews The Kitty Hawk

We had the pleasure of attending a pre-opening sitting at this unique style restaurant and we were certainly not disappointed! I had read a few online reviews and in all honestly I was feeling a little confused about what to expect. It is described as a "Department store of Dining" and now I have been, I completely understand this as it has something for everyone; two bars, a downstairs grill restaurant, private dining or corporate meeting area (with a hidden screen behind a high quality wooden panel so only visible when needed) and an all day dining counter. All this and they also as a separate coffee/deli shop! We were greeted on arrival by very friendly staff who took our coats and showed us to the bar area. When our table was ready we were shown downstairs whilst a lovely lady carried our drinks down for us. Our waitress took our order on a small tablet and this is where i get very excited.... after taking our drinks order she clicked "send" and while halfway through our food order our drinks arrived!!! I was so impressed as a pet hate of mine is waiting ages for your drinks and in some places they arrive after the food! This has clearly been cleverly thought out with input from people in the food & beverage industry!! All dishes are delivered on a lovely wooden trolley but to start you off you get to select your choice of chives/herbs that get mixed with olive oil for your selected bread. Such a great, personal touch! The food was beyond amazing!! To start we had the Steak Tartare which was mixed with our choice of pepper, gherkin or mustard and with a quails egg on top! (you choose what you want and how much and they mix it together there and then). It tasted fantastic. There was a great selection of mains from Meat, fish and salads. We both went for our favourite; 10oz Rib Eye with a side of mac & cheese. Speaking to staff we discovered that their Steak is Ashdale Beef sourced directly from the West Country. In plain English, it is not sold in many places and it literally was the best steak we have ever tasted!!!! Highly recommended if you do visit (which you should!). For dessert I had the Decadent Chocolate cake. It looked more like a cookie but had all the taste and texture of a professionally baked cake made by their specialist on-site pastry chef! My partner had the Warm Winter Crumble with custard, he was a little dubious about the almonds but thoroughly enjoyed it (I had to beg for a taste!!). The Kitty Hawk has incorporated many old London elements like the decor, the trolleys and uniforms but also has many modern elements combined. I highly recommend a visit and am confident that you won't be disappointed. We cannot wait to go back!!!!

Kitty Hawk has all good things in one place.....really enjoyed the Brasserie area with lots of sharing dishes to enjoy with the very well chosen selection of wines and cocktails. They have a great bar area and the music is subtle so you can still enjoy your company. The main restaurant also has a private dining area and the steak is highly recommended...the whole place feels relaxed whatever you choose, from breakfast, brunch, through to dinner or late night treats - this is why it is called the complete dining experience.... Staff are all amazing, with great enthusiasm and a smile. Will definitely be a regular visitor, thank you Kitty Hawk and its inspired management team!

Beautiful surroundings very friendly staff. Great food. Definitely worth another visit.

I recently visited The Kitty Hawk for dinner, in the heart of the city. It describes itself as an ‘all-day destination for those with a love of food, drink and discovery, infused with a heady blend of London cool and New York glamour’ with five bespoke dining experiences under one roof: The Bar & Kitchen, The Restaurant, The Coffee Bar & Patisserie, The Bar and The Private Dining Room.

Came here on recommendation from a friend. It's a really nice looking bar but well hidden. Service was very attentive and constantly checking if we needed drinks etc and topping up our wine and water. Food options were very unique and catered for vegetarians. The curried cauliflower was really nice and the squash was good except small so definitely order a side with it. The ginger sticky pudding was amazing and would come back just for that alone!

Kitty Hawk has become one of my top spots in London. Very good service, nice atmosphere and decor, food was okay, wine knowledge of staff was amazing. Nice background music too for the dancers among us. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.

Fantastic night in the lower level playing bingo. All for beginners but a lot of fun. Drinks and food available. The bingo academy really make sure everyone has a good time. Would highly recommend and I'll be going again.

The rib eye steak was nice but for £30 not big enough for that amount of money, given you are in a restaurant with no view however in prime location that's somewhat appropriate. Chianti was nice and green Nocellara olives were very good

Really nice, upmarket bar, but easy to spend a lot of money! Given the location, it's not really a surprise that they aim at the slightly more wealthy punter. The the staff were great, drinks were good (nice cocktails!) , food was good too. Really enjoyable.
