    Very good quality food and excellent service. Somewhat overpriced. Some dishes are too small for the price. For example Sea bass filet (app. One third of a whole filet) arrives with no sides at all. For 36 GBP they could have afforded a small mashed potato for example. Steak frites comes with large amount of frites, however the size of the steak is 150 gr maximum. This also costs almost 30GBP… Must say the service was outstanding.

    Quite a short menu but we tried 4 different mains & all were delicious, then shared the Black Forest millefeuille & a pear dish, just right to finish off the meal. Waiting staff were very attentive & helpful.

    First time at Kettners for a long time, with a friend who'd never been before. Attentive service, delicious food and cocktails and we were early enough to take advantage of the pre-theatre menu which was excellent value. Overall a very enjoyable dinner experience.
