The Kensington Wine Rooms

Too expensive for what is was but nice time. Cozy atmosphere and good service. But wine is too expensive and there is very few choice of wine at a decent price

Wine guidance was spot in and the meal was incredible. Wonderful experience all around if back in Notting Hill we will be back for sure!!

Food wasn't great and we disn't get much help for the stuff when asked to assist us with the wine tasting. The overall experience was quite cheap.

The food and the wine were outstanding at the Kensington wine rooms. We had chosen the seabass, & coq a vin. Both dishes were beautifully presented, with enticing flavours. We chose wines that were not paired with our dishes, and found them to be excellent. The staff were young, friendly, and upbeat.

Great place to go for lovely wines, delicious food, amazing service and ambiance! I highly recommend The Kensington Wine Rooms! It's my new favorite place to go to! Thank you!

Nice place, excellent meat, overall a good experience. Place was crowded and service too slow although friendly. A good adresse in this neighborhood, one we will recommend.

We had a great dinner in a friendly restaurant. The food was very good and waiters were friendly, clear and they gave proposals of food. We will book here again.

Lovely wine and nice bites to eat Unfortunately , after having a lovely time and being served by a really nice waitress, we were met by rudeness from the manager that literally turned to us and said:” you have to leave now “. Of course we were having a very good conversation and as it happens were just waiting on our taxis to arrive ( since, once lights were up we had gotten the hint it was closing). The chock was as we were leaving and walked to the other room the place was still kinda full and no one looked like they were leaving any time soon. My question is why would he be so rude to us and clearly hadn’t bother with anyone else. So yes go there for sure but be ready to meet a less friendly service from management which makes a lovely night slightly bitter.

The waitress did not know anything about wine which I found strange as it is a wine bar. Apart from that the atmosphere was good

Great menu choices and everything item has a matching wine. Food was delicious - we all had something different. Great to have over 49 wines by the glass - everyone can have what they want. And then service was excellent. Relaxed and a really lovely night.

Food was excellent, service was amazing! Great find. Best meal in London so far. Had the stone bass and it was delicious. Great wine,of course!

Excellent wine and ambiance was perfect. Service was pretty bad and choice of cheese was average which was a bit disappointing. But I would go back again as it seemed like they were understaffed on that particular day.

Really friendly and accommodating staff. Food was lovely with lots of choice and the wine was delicious. Very spacious and comfortable seating. Overall a lovely evening and will definitely recommend to friends

Great atmosphere and first class service. New chef that evening who might have been finding his feet, but we will return because of the very friendly and professional service.

We had a really fun evening trying different types of wine. The food was excellent both quality and choice. Would recommend for a fun eve with partner or friends.

food quite good .. wine by the glass no ... service and site below average .. general comment : absolutely overpriced for the level of the restaurant

Great entrees, good wine list albeit expensive, mains not as strong, desserts unappealing and service was rather slack. Great venue but not on good form on our night.

A small but excellent menu and each dish is given a suggested wine pairing. The service is quick and adequate. Setting is a rustic English bar style which was lovely.

A really nice atmosphere on a Friday night, and delicious wines. Obviously, as it's Kensington, it's not the cheapest spot, and I was a little shocked by the service charge that was added to our bill!

Very nice people, food was ok but not extraordinary when I visted. The place was also a bit cold...the weather had been bad after days of good weather, so the heating was off, but I didn't feel fully at ease with a shirt

Lovely food and pleasant atmosphere. Great wines by glass, but if you want to order bottle, expect to pay £50+, which is a little bit steep for this casual dining. Staff very pleasant and attentive.

Excellent wine, the 2013 Malbec, which was value for money. The food was good too, both vegetarian options and the onglet steak. Pleasant location too.

No atmosphere (only 2 other tables full) and very limited selection of food. Nevertheless one of the specials had ' sold out'. How is that even possible?

We love this place! It's so laid back. The wine is great and so is the food and the staff is very friendly. We've held several school events there as well as just social and I always love the atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Elegant food and an extensive wine list. The seared scallops with cauliflower were cooked to perfection and the Sea Bass with Potobello mushroom purée and braised cabbage was delicious. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food and wine! Service was appalling. Rushing us to order, taking our plates away before we were done! It's a shame as the tuna was fantastic and great wine by the glass to pair with food choices!

I dine here every time I am in London (once a year, coming from San Francisco). Always enjoyable. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and very good food.

A little overpriced for what it's worth. The restaurant has an appealing upscale and relaxed feel to it. Asking one of the servers for their opinion on wine (she knew next to nothing) I was passed to the manager who was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very willing to let me sample a few before committing - I though this was a very nice touch. Unfortunately it was clear that his recommendations were only being made from the most expensive end of the wine list. The same applied to food. Overall: good wine, pleasant food, nice setting, and good service.....but, too expensive, particularly if you accept any recommendation

Not great, the restaurant used to be amazing but the standards are not the same. There is obviously a new chef . Not going to visit as much as I used to.

Elegant, amazing wine collection, fun with the card you can use to get yourselves wine, good food and good service I will definitely go back !

Nice wine selection with different choices to the typical. Service and ambience good. We had beautiful and flavoursome Onglet steaks. Would definitely recommend the Kensington Wine rooms

Excellent service and a simple but good selection of food to choose from well cooked and nicely presented. Good advice regarding what wines would work well with our food

Great service, food and wine. Relaxing pace of courses,, which is perfect to savor food and wine pairings. Highly recommend for couples or a treat yourself silk dinner.

We arrived early on a Friday evening and the place was surprising Lynn empty. But despite it being empty and despite there being a lot of staff, the service was appalling. No eye contact, no checking if we needed anything. We had to wave and call in an empty bar to get any service. A shame as it could be so good!

Lovely evening - great service / food / wine. Birthday treat for boyfriend. Hope to be back soon. Staff have excellent knowledge on their wines

Food is always good here but in this instance they screwed up our order as we waited over 1 1/2 hours to get our main.

Been here several times. The atmosphere and service are always good. The chateaubriand was excellent as was the South African red to go with it

Great atmosphere, fabulous food, delish wines. Can't fault it! Off to the Royal Albert Hall? It's a very pleasant 20 minute stroll from the Kensington Wine Bar to your show. We will book here every time we are in the area.

We visited The Kensington Wine Rooms at lunch time. The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were helpful and friendly. There was a good choice of wines and our lunch was excellent!

The wine dispensing machines are a great idea and make it fun to try a few different wines in an evening. You need to top up a card but if you don't spend it all they can give you the money back (or keep the card for next time!)
