Realistically everything was fine with the Kensington Wine Rooms - thank you. Loved it and was looking forward to going there from the time we left Australia. It was the first place to visit on our agenda. We flew in that afternoon from Oz and we had wine / dinner that evening at the Wine Rooms. WE will be back. Perfect!. 4 of us met there. Unfortunately, there was a table beside us that were so overly loud. We happen to be next to them. Not the Wine Room's fault!

Unfortunately the quality of food impacted the experience - the wine is good value but with all three dishes being below par, the consensus is that the bar is not for eating.

Food was nice but service disappeared toward the end of the evening as staff were hurrying off to New Year’s Eve festivities perhaps? Would have been nice to have been offered a sip of champagne when midnight struck! Probably wouldn’t eat there again

Overall a lovely experience. Very Christmassy at this time of year. We ate in the back room which lacked atmosphere compared to the front . It was a special family occasion so we paid up the high prices but really it was too expensive for what it was and it needed more vegetarian options.

Food is very good, atmosphere is lovely and the staff are very helpful and attentive, however the wines are expensive. Being able to try lots of different wines is a major selling point, but most are overpriced when you want a glass full. Top marks for quality and variety, minus a point for leaving a bad taste in your mouth when the bill arrives.

I was quite disappointed with the service which I thought was sloppy. The waitress was very vague about the ingredients of the dish when asked and service was slow. When clearing the table she dropped the cutlery on my skirt. The food was very nice though and the wine delicious.

Friendly staff, nice wine selection, concept of bar, and good food. The foi gras when I went during winter was amazing, however this time I was very disappointed. Had this very tangy taste. Jason iberico was not as aged as last time, though the cutting skills were excellent. The staff at the beginning were not very attentive, and forgot to give us the wine list although we bought the card for the tasting machines. Very friendly though understaffed perhaps.

There was very little service from start to finish. Servers did not communicate with each other. We didn't have a server at all without going up and directly asking for service. There was no engagement when we asked for wine recommendations or descriptions, no one even asked us if we wanted to order food or anything else. Unfriendly, not engaged service in a barely half-full restaurant.

A really terrific meal. We had the beef for two with the recommended Bordeaux. Medium rare was perfect. Potatoes, salad, ice cream, it was all excellent. And great service, too!
