  “Lovely food and service here, we came for brunch and had the shakshuka eggs and sea bream. Both very fresh and full of flavour. I especially enjoyed the stylish and modern decor of the restaurant, it was an oasis of calm on a busy Sunday.”

  “I want to start off by saying the the service was amazing and everyone was very lovely. However, I came here yesterday for a cocktail with my Mum for her birthday and we ordered two £21 cocktails and they looked like this. Not only were did they taste awful (I had the filthy martini and it tasted like sea water and soap) but they were both served in these weird little glasses with no embellishments whatsoever. Insane prices for what we got, I’d never go back there again. Came to £55 total with service charge for this. Crazy 😭”

  “My family went here for Sunday roast and enjoyed the entire dining experience. We did not have a reservation but were seated right away. The servers were professional, present, personable and held good knowledge of the menu. An example was the suggestion of a wonderful cocktail, Golden Bellini, which my wife raved about. The food prepared by Chef Patrick Komada and staff was top notch. We ordered the Roast chicken, half lobster(x2) and porchetta which came with tasty sides such as salad, carrots, Yorkshire pudding and fried potatoes. Since it was Father's day, I was given fudge as a treat following the meal. I highly recommend this restaurant.”

  “Was invited to a lunch. Quite a lot of people around our table - circa 10. The food was unpretentious and brilliantly executed. The ingredients were top notch. What was extra great is they brought a selection of starters, mains and desserts and we could all share and try them rather than just have one dish. Portions were ample and just so tasty. The sommelier was lovely and made the right choices. Beef and sea bass were amazing. In fact it all was. So friendly too. Will 💯 come back.”

  “#toast 658 — had a wonderful time at Dovetale for breakfast and dessert. I loved the way that they plated everything - especially their selected cutleries and plates were stunning. Their dessert menu is not to be missed - flavours are creative and textures are incredible. The coconut and yuzu sorbet is allergen-free, giving an enjoyable experience to everyone that wants dessert. There’s fun textures with coconut caviar - something so creative and experimental.

  “At 85 pounds per person for Valentine's, the experience was very poor. I imagine it's because it was very busy but even the basics were missing. Service and Food: I mentioned at the start that I had a nut allergy, they proceeded to serve the rhubarb tart which contained nuts. I understand it's a busy night, mistakes happen but they shouldn't when it comes to allergies. They swapped this out for an appropriate replacement once mentioned but this took almost 15 minutes to come out, which means we didn't have our dessert together and the ice-cream had melted for my partner. The food tasted pretty good, but a lot of the food felt like it had been left out for a long time. The bread for the starter I'm fairly certain had gone stale by the time it was served, it was very hard on the crusts and took ages to chew on the inside. I mentioned to the servers who said this was intentional, but I'm not sure. I assume it was supposed to be toasted sourdough, but even then it shouldn't take on this consistency unless it's been left for a while. The main course was served almost cold. I'm not sure if this was intentional, I assume not. Other then the main, all the other dishes are served cold as planned which seems a bit underwhelming for an 85 pound set menu. Atmosphere: Took around 20 minutes from seating for anyone to come by to ask regarding drinks or orders. Sat close to the entrance, constant drafts which is understandable since people are coming are going but in between staff kept leaving the curtains open anyways. Can't fault the staff, they looked busy and they were nice enough, but it feels to me like a core organisational issue. Would not recommend any events that might be somewhat busy. Probably best to try the place as a regular dinner/lunch venue which they may be more equipped to manage.”

  “I had breakfast at Dovetale and the experience was wonderful. The café is beautiful with warm, modern décor, quiet, elegant and very comfortable. The service was excellent, truly five stars and the atmosphere was amazing. The food was simple but clearly made with care and the shakshuka was delicious. I loved the coffee. Everything about the place was perfect and I will visit them every time I come to London.”

  “There are no words to describe how perfect it was, but the fish dish that was prepared for my condition was simple but outstandingly delicious, not only for the chef, but also for the gentleman who brought me here. I was so happy I almost cried. (Photos of food eaten by friends are also included.)”
