Down this atmospheric alley opposite St Bartholomew church, Cloth is taking over a double fronted corner site that’s beneath the former home of poet John Betjeman and next door to the two oldest residential buildings in London. Inside, low ceilings, wood floorboards with antique wall lights and artwork create a cosy, intimate atmosphere, while marble tables, long dark wood banquettes, antique crockery and cutlery will create the feel of a classic bistro.

We had a lovely experience at Kettners. It has changed a lot since we came years ago but all for the better. Lovely food, good value; especially for London and great service.

Consistently great food and service complemented by a great atmosphere and grand choice of wine. Menu was again refreshingly much changed since we were here a few weeks back and it was fun once again to escape through the back of the wardrobe for a couple of happy hours.

I love this restaurant. It has all the feel of a simple trattoria down to the black and white photos of Italy and Early 60's romantic background music. Superb authentic dishes (tripe, oxtail) in a n unburdened menu. Great Italian wine list - several available by carafe as well as whole bottle.. Some dishes to die for. Not cheap - but hey it's Knightsbridge.

They charge me for the service as discretionary but they insist I should pay it because the service was good.

Our first time visiting Sticks’n’Sushi during a weekend away and we thoroughly enjoyed. Just a shame there isn’t a restaurant closer to our home.
