Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Kennington

Absolutely loved it here, delicious food, beautiful ambience and interiors. We had such great service and will definitely be returning.

Great food and service. Nice ambience. Beautiful interior. Good toilets.

Great steaks , friendly staff offered restaurant to sit in rather than bar. Great location and restaurant itself had good atmosphere.

We were staying at a hotel nearby and called in for Pizzas. I was with my wife and two sons. The service was warm and friendly and the pizzas were excellent. Cooked perfectly and authentic. We all really enjoyed the meal.

The food and drinks at this restaurant are delicious. You are going to pay accordingly, but expect to have a solid meal and very good drinks. The atmosphere is beautiful — the restaurant is well decorated. It’s not too loud and not too crowded, which makes it feel pretty posh. However, we had a very odd experience with our server Nelson. He didn’t even say hello or good evening when we arrived and he just raised his eyebrows and said “yes please” when he took his notebook out to order. While I am all for efficiencies (I used to be a server and a bartender for 3 years), part of the hospitality business is…hospitality. This man expressed no smile, no emotion, and no sense of humanness. It was so weird. One of the ladies who appeared to be a manager came over to take our dessert order and she was very friendly, but we couldn’t understand why Nelson was so extremely cold. It appeared that this was his demeanor towards other tables as well. We arrived 5 mins early, didn’t take long to order drinks and food, and didn’t linger. What was his issue? We will never know. We will definitely be back to the Ivy, but will request to not have him as a server.
