This places amazes time after time. Front of house staff are unfailingly polite and welcoming despite being intimidatingly good looking! They've replaced their chef and the results are an improvement, less waiting, more consistency and the flavours in each dish complement as previously was bit too complex to land well. The crowd and the atmosphere classily relaxed, saw a few famous faces but no gawking just london cool. Will remain on top for some time. highly recommended.
went there last night with my girlfriend. The place was very quite and the staff just flirted with each other. I eventally went to the bar to get another round of their overpriced drinks.
wont be planning a night there is future.
I would definitely recommend this place to any of my friends and colleagues and I think people have given it a bit of a hard time... yes its had a few teething problems but most venue's usually do in the first few months of opening. Whatever problems they've had seem to be ironing out nicely. Cocktails are exquisite, the design visually stunning and the food is something to rival Nobu. Andrew Lassetter does his job well... as do the rest of the staff. If there's one thing McCausland knows it's that the quality of your employees can make or break you and he chooses his team well. I've never found them anything but perfectly pleasant, engaging and above all knowlegable in their respective fields... Guillaume and Thomas particularly stand out.
He may have his fair share of critics...most successful entrepreneurs do, but if you spend 10 minutes in the company of a person as driven as Mr McCausland and you haven't learnt something from him then you're a fool.
I truly hope his second venture does as well as the original Kingly.
this place sucks...
try the cuckoo club
i visited here last week and the only reason im giving 2 stars is because of the decor.The cocktails were average and poorly made and when did we start making old fashioned cocktails with jim beam???Prices were over rated and the members of staff in the upstairs bar were standing around flirting with each other and leaning on the bar. im imagining table service or even customer service was not included in their training session.I certainly wont be visiting again
Most of these reviews are so blatantly written by Kingly themselves.. how sad that the bar and experience can't stand up on it's own and requires this level of pathetic self satsifying to create a positive image.Avoid like chinese food in chinatown!
I went to the new Kingly club for the first time last week... I had high expectations after rave reviews. How boring are the people of London? I've seen more atmosphere in an airport lounge- something the interior designer clearly referenced in their inspirations- I'd rather have a glass of vino with British Airways.The clientelle- well, the ladies (if they were ladies) were skimpily dressed Movida-types -- perfect if you are a slimy oil tycoon fresh from Russia, but for us more tasteful gentlemen, I was horrified. The door girl was rude and impatient (she was caked in some make-up of some sort), and the bar staff had that eastern european tone that instigates cheap labour/minimum wage. My drink was quite good, to be fair to them, although you can't really go wrong with a beer.I took a look at the restaurant, for future reference. If i had ever wanted to eat my dinner with the cast of Finding Nemo watching me (do you think they dare serve fish?!) I definately know where to head to.All in all, I had a brilliant time- definately going to make it a regular haunt.See you there
Breathtaking Decor - Fantastic Food - Excellent Service!
