The Ebury

Not sure why two reviews below slate this place (upon closer inspection they both start and end the same way, blatantly written by a competitor!) but I've been here twice now and the food is just amazing.

The first time I went with my girlfriend and we had the beef carpaccio - honestly this stuff is to die for. I had never tried the dish before and it just blew me away. The second time I went with the missus and my parents for my birthday, and they got wind of it and bought me a special birthday dessert out! Cheesecake with candied macadamia nuts, very tasty indeed. Service was brilliant, they were attentive but not overbearing, oh, and the cocktails were AWESOME. I had a whiskey sour, but had a go on my girlfriends one and realised the more ladylike drink was to my taste. It had half a passionfruit in it and was the absolute money.

I'd been looking forward to going for ages and went away buzzing. Brilliant.

The Ebury is superb, it has a wonderful atmosphere, warm and welcoming and the food is truly excellent. We had a wonderful meal, the service was attentive and friendly - The Ebury team made a special day perfect. Many thanks, we will be back.

Had another perfect Sunday at this restaurant. It is fast becoming my favourite place to go on the weekend. Great for families, great for friends, great for romantic lunches.

Had a great work Christmas party last week and wanted to say that i found the service really good, attentive and we all had a great evening.

The wine definately flowed, (extensive list too) the food was of a very high standard i felt and the private room upstairs was a really good setting for us, even as it got a little raucous later with all the wine going round, we were very much looked after and a great time was had by the entire party.

This place is shocking! Went here for a quiet Saturday afternoon drink, about 5.30pm after xmas shopping. There were only two of us, we ordered a drink at the bar and went to sit at one of the tables. After about two minutes sitting down a waitress came over and said that the table was reserved and we had to move. I asked what time it was reserved for, she said 8.00. I said "thats over two hours away" I said, she went over to check with the manager, the manager said it was fine to stay. However we got a lot of death stares from this waitress and manageress for the half hour we were at the bar.

Secondly, I went to the bar to ask for the bill and went and sat down. Waited a few minuted and the bill hadn't turned up. My girlfriend then noticed my card sitting in the machine on the side of the bar! the waiter couldn't even be bothered to walk over to my table and hand it to me (the bar was empty! so he was not busy) I then had to go up to the bar and enter my pin.

Overall I would not recommend this place for a quiet drink. I don't know what the food is like but the service is probably the worst I have encountered in the many bars/restaurants I have visited in London. Avoid.

Great place for after work drinks - bar menu has some good choices too and their fries are the best ove had in a while.

Friendly and buzzy atmosphere even for a quiet Wednesday, seems like it has a good crowd, not too young.

One of the worst dining experiences I have ever had!

Firstly we were kept waiting for over half an hour for a table when there were plenty available. (We were only made aware at the end of the evening that they were short of staff in the kitchen). Obviously we were strongly encouraged to keep on ordering drinks during this time. We were then seated, but positioned around the corner by the bar area where a large group were celebrating a birthday. Not quite the quiet atmosphere I was hoping for and led to us being overlooked by most of the serving staff. Then it took over 45 minutes to bring over the bread that we ordered (1 basket but they billed us for 2). In addition, when our mains turned up at around 9 o’clock (I was starving by this point) they were all ridiculously over salted. I assume this was because there was none available on the table and they were covering their bases. I would hate to think that they would have done this as we were Taste London cardholders and getting 50 % off the food. Lets just say that we were not prepared to hang around for desert.

Do not let the well-designed interior fool you. It does not reflect the quality of food and service within. Stay away.

Really nice.

Sunday roast was top notch, music good and a nice atmosphere.

Not sure if this is an every Sunday thing, but would like to go again and take some more friends this time.

Went to their Sunday lunch event on 4th September, heard about it from a friend that they were having a cool female DJ from a london club and i love a good Sunday lunch with friends so something different seemed right up our street.

The DJ was actually really good, despite being a typical modelly type, i was impressed and it definitely added a little something extra to a usually rather boring Sunday for us and the lunch was really good too so ticked boxes all round.

Great food, comfy atmosphere and if they do another one will definately make it my Sunday venue of choice.

4th Sept meeting we reserved table to have brunch with friends at the Ebury, appeared nice, good atmosphere and music. Unfortunatley twice our waitress had to change the order as 3 of the 6 mains were no longer on offer which she didnt know when taking our order. This was at about 2.30 afternoon. There were enough visible table staff but they told us the kitchen was busy and thus we waited hour and a half for our mains. We agreed to pay our nice starters and drinks and left hungry and frustrated. Not a great experience and music too loud.
