   The staff were very attentive but this meant we had several staff members asking if we wanted to order when we already had etc. not a bad thing but just sometimes was a little overwhelming. The food was good and definitely worth going on a Monday or Thursday when they had 50% off. It was both casual and a bit fancy too so you could have dressed up or down to go. Overall, a nice experience.

   I visited Kitten for my 31st birthday and honestly, it was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere was just right – not too loud or overcrowded – with the perfect balance of buzz and calm. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out. The lovely girl who sat us down was so warm and welcoming, and our waiter was incredibly patient and kind throughout the evening. Even the doorman went above and beyond, walking us to the pick-up spot since it’s tucked away off the main road – such a thoughtful touch. The whole experience just felt special from start to finish, and I can genuinely say it’s my favourite place I’ve been to so far. Couldn’t recommend it more – everything was spot on.

   We recently dined at Kitten after seeing the stunning interior and the impressive presentation on social media, and we were really looking forward to the experience. Unfortunately, we left feeling quite disappointed due to a number of issues during our visit. To start, we ordered two cocktails shortly after being seated, but these took over 30 minutes to arrive, which set a frustrating tone for the evening. Both my girlfriend and I have food intolerances, which we made clear to our server. The waiter helpfully went through the menu with us and advised which dishes were suitable. My girlfriend has a fish intolerance and was assured that the Padrón peppers would be safe for her to eat. However, when the dish arrived, it was covered in fish flakes, which was not only upsetting but could have put an end to the night due to health consequences. At the end of our meal, we asked for a dessert menu but were told that last orders for dessert had already passed—something we had not been informed of at any point during the evening. I raised this with the manager, who thankfully allowed us to order, but it still felt like a miscommunication that could have easily been avoided. We paid £200 in cash at the end of the meal, we paid some but not all of the service charge. We gave a £10 underpayment on the service charge, and a member of staff returned with a card machine to request the remainder, which felt a little uncomfortable given the service issues we had experienced. We frequently dine at restaurants like Tattu and had high hopes for Kitten as a new go-to. While some of the food was genuinely good, the overall service fell short of what we expected, and it has left us unsure if we would return.

   Outstanding food. Every dish was amazing. Quick and friendly service. Music was a little too loud for our liking - we are getting old though so understandable. Reasonable prices for the quality. Would definitely come back.

   First the good points; friendly staff and mostly great food. The Wagyu steak was fantastic as were the truffled potatoes.. The Dragon Roll was fab but the Spicy Tuna roll had no 'spice' at all to it. Tuna tartare good. Cauliflower wasn't good (soggy and droopy) and the tuna tacos were pretty average. The layout is odd and if you're a twosome you'll most likely be fine. We weren't comfortable on the first table and our request t be moved meant a table tucked round the back by the toilets. This area feels like you're completely out of it. Not great. All in all though we enjoyed it, I would just say that the general housekeeping needs attention. You shouldn't be seeing cleaning products and lots of prepped food and pots and pans wrapped in clingfilm front of house.
