Service was good in general, however we didn’t have cutlery/napkins when our meal came out. Food was also generally good except for the sourdough small plate - which was not good. It seemed like it was almost burnt or twice toasted. We couldn’t finish it given how dry it was. The food also wasn’t as hot (temperature wise) as we’d expect it to be. Not sure if the heat lamps were in use or not. The chocolate mousse also was too chilled so the texture was more solid than it probably normally is, but we ordered it last minute so not sure if they would normally take it out to adjust to room temperature or not. Nice atmosphere and free wifi.
Art Yard Kitchen is a good restaurant overall. Their dishes are good, and they are prepared well. I would like to see a bit more flair or creativity in terms of flavor, however, at that price point. The drinks are good as well, with a wide selection of cocktails.
The atmosphere is very nice- quiet and relaxed in the late evening. Service was good throughout the meal.
Stumbled upon this place looking for somewhere to eat. Sat down immediately. Food was lovely, although service was not the quickest given there was only 2 other tables in the restaurant that were occupied.
We finished with Espresso Martini's. Not the best, less vodka, more coffee needed. Definitely put some hairs on our chest.
We booked here last minute to celebrate our anniversary. It turned out to be a great choice as we had a fantastic meal. The sirloin steak was just as we like it! The staff was very friendly and attentive. Special thanks to Josh, Mela, Philip and the kitchen staff. Thank You 😊
Superb food and service. The restaurant is part of the Autograph collection hotel, the interior is modern and boutiquey along with its 5 stars friendly service. Very suitable for dates or friends hang out spot.
ISSAC’s FIRST COFFEE DRINK DOPE
This review is for Issac. A welcoming, friendly and considerate staff.
I’m so glad to try his first work with espresso machine. And ofc, he nailed it. Good job!
Fun, humorous service. Food was decent although the Ribeye should include two sides for that price. Fish, Fries and Fizz promo was well worth it. Overall a very good experience. Atmosphere was relaxed yet uniquely decorated.
Smart, modern-arty space for drinks & food.
LIKE: deco, all the different plates we ordered, service
DID NOT LIKE: waiter asking every 15’ if u want to order some more
BE BACK? Yes!
We ate here for lunch. We have had breakfast before when staying at the hotel. Service is very pleasant, there was a mix up with the main course twice however staff were very apologetic and did put things right. It's priced well for the food and area, it's relaxed, quiet, easy going, clean and well presented. Would visit again.
Came here whilst on our most recent trip to London, had some delicious food. The ham hock was divine! It was a quiet day so not many other customers around, staff were wonderful in helping us choose a rum to go with lunch as my husband was on a special diet. Thank you would love to visit you again in the future. Highly recommend
The staff in this place are incredible. Kim was super helpful, chatting me through drinks that weren’t even on the menu.
The chorizo croquettes were amazing, as there the dumplings and paella.
Wish I could give it 5 stars, just a couple of the dishes weren’t quite as well seasoned as I would have hoped.
Great proof, with great buffet and a la crate options. Amazing coffee and freshly squeezed juices. Atmosphere is lovely, with lots of light and a cozy environment. Friendly service and great to work whilst here. There’s restaurant, bar and coffee area, depending on what you’re looking for.
Easy access for wheelchairs and child friendly (although it is a quite space).
I went there with my girlfriend to celebrate our anniversary on Sunday 30th April . We were kindly welcomed by the team and the manager from the Gambia 🇬🇲. He and his team never left our side. He kindly went through the cocktails and described them by their colours. He recommended one for my girlfriend. At the end, he took us to the gallery and gave us a background about a few pictures. Very nice area, nice design. Nice service.
I was a bit unsure about going for dinner here as there were mixed reviews but we had a great experience. We had a deal to go here so booked before going to a show. The service was impeccable. Everything came very promptly after ordering and was delicious. I would highly recommend getting the layered dripping drips. We were tempted to get another portion but we were stuffed. Definitely a bummer that they only serve beer in 2/3 pints but something to work on.
After paying we were offered a tour of the hotel by the maitre de and we were very impressed by the decor and mezzanine space. I think this place has a lot going for it and I look forward to seeing how it does!
I was here for breakfast as I was staying at the hotel. I don’t typically eat at hotel restaurants as I don’t usually enjoy the quality of meals. However, it was convenient at the time. I will say I was impressed with the service and attention to detail. The breakfast buffet is delicious and plentiful options to choose from. The interior is lovely and has a classy vibe. Highly recommend.
It was a wonderful experience dining indoors! The food was perfectly flavorful, drinks on point and the service impeccable! Nicola our barman was very courteous to prepare an impressive drink our request that was off the menu. Jasper is an amazing person, not just a server but a host who knows how to entertain. Went with my sister and had a great great time!!
Classy restaurant very close to Blackfriars station. We came here immediately prior to going to the Globe Theatre, which is nearby. The restaurant has a classy atmosphere, helpful (sharp suited) staff, good food. Couldn’t believe how empty it was. Get here before it gets too busy!
They were really helpful knowing we had to leave on time. Thanks.
