Kensington Place review by Claire Thompson
A really good standby in the area. The food is consistently good, particularly the fish dishes, which comes as no surprise as they also run an attached fishmongers. Can get very noisy if you go at a busy time because everything echoes off all the glass, concrete and high ceilings.
The best time to go is around 2.30pm, where it's quite quiet and you can take advantage of the lunch menu, which at £20 for three courses is excellent value. Things can really get a bit too expensive a la carte.
The staff are at best uninterested, at worst a bit surly. I will never understand why people like this work in the service industry if they clearly hate it so much (I have had lots of waitressing and bar jobs, and was never once rude or unfriendly to customers unless they were rude to me. Even then, it would have to be something really exceptionally horrible for me to give that kind of treatment.). Staff turnover is probably high though, so hopefully they will get lucky next time.
A good place, just pick your moment to go carefully.
