    A French restaurant on a Tuesday with no Cote de Boeuf?! No Pedro Ximenez for dessert so a little disappointing

    I really like Kettner's: really nice room, good menu, fair prices. Good service (though they forgot to bring something we'd ordered until reminded). The food was very well executed and tasty. The menu could do with one or two extra choices. Overall though, my guest and I enjoyed being there and will be back. This is my second time back in 6 weeks, so I must like it!

    My third visit in 3 weeks - and another great evening - we had an 8pm reservation and we stayed until closing (and were last to leave the restaurant) - totally unhurried service on a busy Tuesday night. Thank you to Team Kettner's.

    Kettners is a very reliable safe space in a part of Soho that is extremely neglected and run down. It’s completely at odds with the surrounding pubs, chain restaurants, cafes and dubious night economy establishments. I’m very grateful it is still there under the wing of Soho House.

    Love it there but it was exceptionally busy. I felt that the steak Tatar was rather tasteless. The staff were fantastic as usual.

    Overall highly enjoyable experience. However. Asked for a larger table and was told none available. Spent the whole lunch on a small table, looking at a large (empty) table next to ours. the larger table remained empty until we were about to leave when one person arrived with no other guests. Disappointing when there was clearly a table available. Literally next to the small table we were told was the only one available.
