The food was excellent - quite spicy and probably not well suited to a wine-oriented place, but still excellent nonetheless.

Went to Ken's for the second time before Sadler's Wells show and am absolutely loving it! Very friendly staff each time, interesting wine list to choose from(however, I would serve white wines and champagnes a little colder), delicious food cooked by talented guest chefs, pleasant ambiance - what not to love?! Will definitely be back.

Such a special place with amazing food and wine selection! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the service was exceptional. Lots of care and attention went into every aspect of the experience. The ambiance and decor are unmatched – casual yet elevated, approachable and exciting. The location is very charming and walkable. We started inside for food and then finished outside on the patio with a cocktail which was perfect for a summer evening. Can’t wait to return.

Very disappointed with the food. The pop up chefs menu you last night was weird, and not tasty. A shame as the vibe and wine selection is excellent

A spin off of our local wine bar Dan’s this nosherie never disappoints. Excellent wine choice - by the glass so no need to go too toppy! And the FOOD! Excellent. Couple of seats at the bar. Joy. Perfectly pitched in every way and the perfect pitch on Exmouth Market.
