Odette's

I too am amazed by the review two below this.

Bryns food is sublime..the staff are welcoming and efficient and Odette's have one of the best Maitre D's in the business.

I think in restuarants as in so much in life you get back what you give out....

Having read many conflicting reviews including a rather critical one from Andy Hayler we have given this place a bit of a miss in the last year but went there after a disastrous meal at another restaurant in primrose hill- still being hungry -and ate in the bar downstairs.

It was very good indeed and service although not effusive was fine. This encourages us to try the main restaurant again.

I went to Odette's for lunch on Sunday 30 May, it was the first time that I have been there and I was pleasantly suprised, the food was beautifully presented by the manager who also paired our meal with wines for each course it was absolutelly wonderful. We finished our meal with coffee on the terrace, what a delightful afternoon, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys excellent food and service.

We went to odettes last night for dinner , we had had a bad experience 2 years ago and was told things had changed so decided to give it another go. Nothing had changed, bad service , surly, grumpy waiter, no attention to detail. We ordered champagne to start with which after 10 mins we had to remind the waiter to bring, same with our white wine. The food was fine but nothing memorable and ruined due to the unrelaxing atmosphere, waiters hopelessly running around but not actually doing their job correctly or with a smile- as my husband said all v unprofessional. We left and had pudding at home.

A pretty restaurant that could be wonderful under the right management and chef.

We are visiting from Canada and our friend Peter Hoad took us to Odette's yesterday evening for a fantastic evening and meal. We were very impressed with the quality of the food and service. Kerry made us feel at ease and actually was very attentive to our needs and made these foreigners so very happy. He is an asset to the restaurant.

Thank you for a great experience that we will remember for a long time.

I went to Odette's about 7 months ago for my mother-in-law's birthday and thought although the food was excellent the service needed to improve. I was there again for dinner on Friday night and just wanted to say how much improvement there has been. It seems there is a new restaurant manager in place and the service runs a lot smoother. It was nice to see some positive changes. Well done.

Went there with a couple of my friends, from the reviews that I had read I was expecting a top quality meal, unfortunately everything about our visit was appalling. The service was awful, we had to remind the waiter more than 4 times for our jug of tap water and the food was over-priced. Overall it was very disappointing.

My girlfriend and I recently (Feb 14th) went to Odette’s for lunch. Having wanted to go for some time we booked up on Valentines Day. Having had such a wonderful experience I’m shocked at how many poor reviews have been written? The restaurant was fabulous the food was divine and 3 courses for £25 was great value. Service by the new manager and his team was excellent and I thoroughly look forward to returning soon. Wine was a little overpriced, but a small sacrifice for a great experience. My advice would be to form your own opinions and give it a bash!

My husband and I went to Odette's last Friday (January 29th) and I must say we really enjoyed it. We both had the terrine, which was fantastic, and I had the pheasant which was cooked to perfection. Our waiter recommended a really nice red and the service was very good. It's in our top 10 restaurants for the last 12 months!

I chose Odette's to take my partner for his birthday as a friend had said the food was good. I can honestly say that this is about the most overpriced, pretentious and unfriendly restaurant that I have been to in London for a long time. The portions are miniscule, the prices are high, the quality is only average and the staff are disdainful and unfriendly unless you are a regular awash with cash. We were discouraged from choosing from the fixed price menu though we had arrived just about in time and it was dull and restricted anyway. Primrose Hill has many other nice restaurants with credible prices and good portions - I will not be repeating this disappointing experience.
