155 at the Clerkenwell Collection in Islington

Me encontré con un amigo para almorzar. El servicio fue rápido, eficiente y educado. La comida no era buena por ser memorable o de lo contrario - estaba bien, nada especial, bien como telón de fondo para una conversación pero no va a causar ninguna!El precio era razonable (alrededor de £30 por dos platos de almuerzo, uno, sin alcohol, bien para esta parte de Londres); yo no tengo prisa en volver, pero yo no diría que tampoco.

I came here a few weeks ago for brunch. The food was delicious and was accompanied by good service and a pleasant atmosphere. I'd definitely go back.

Muchas como. La decoración es interesante, las mesas están bien espaciadas, la comida era buena y el servicio era atento.Dos cosas se levantó. El personal se las arregló bien con mi compañera, bastante exigente, y estaban verdaderamente acogedor de mi Jack Russell, que no es normal en la imagen muchos restaurantes de Londres. ConscienteMe gustó.

Peculiar restaurante agradable. Dividido en diferentes áreas y habitaciones.Menú limitado pero la comida era buena. Hamburguesa y patatas fritas 12. 00. Ensalada de patatas fritas de carne, 25. 00desayuno durante todo el día 6. 00. Sin límite por 2 horas y Prosseco a diferencia de muchos de los lugares que llenó el vaso sin tener que preguntar. Personal amable espera. 12. 5% a la factura automáticamente por el servicio. Muy concurrido por la tarde del sábado. Grupos de edad.

Vine aquí para una cena de trabajo y me quedé impresionado. El ambiente era excelente y el servicio rápido. El menú no era exactamente un extenso pero hay algunas opciones interesantes, que me encantó. Comencé con jamón y croquetas que estaban deliciosos shock y contundente. Y tuve de cordero, que de nuevo fue muy sabroso y acompañados por deliciosos piccalilli casero.En general, fue una experiencia fantástica y muy recomendable.

Fui allí para tomarse una bebida y una era muy agradablemente sorprendido, ya que el lugar es tranquilo y espacioso.Me alojo de los bares ruidosos, pubs y el 155 Lounge es genial para esto. El personal es muy servicial y no tratar de vender más. Volveré allí.Entonces me cambié a el restaurante, que también estaba buena, una buena selección de platos internacionales.

The surroundings were elegant , food good great wine and the staff friendly and helpful, the area has changed from when I lived there - but the bar was a welcome addition to Clerkenwell

Попали случайно, искали другой паб, но в горлышке пересохло. Обслуживание было на самом высоком уровне- вино соответствовало моему* very dry*, Равиоли таяли уже на языке. Общий зал и отдельная комната на верху и интимная обстановка внизу. Прекрасное место для деловых встреч, для влюбленных и просто посидеть с друзьями,

Vinimos para el brunch del sábado, pedí huevos revueltos/aguacate en tostadas; estaba bien, nada especial, la tostada era bastante dura y difícil de cortar. Mi amigo pidió una hamburguesa de carne. No como carne de sabor o la carne era muy dura y cocidas, luz de color, la consistencia era más como de cerdo. Cuando nos planteamos al camarero, su respuesta fue: 100% carne y, por supuesto, será difícil si lo dejas en el plato durante 20 minutos. Mi amigo apenas tocó su chapa pero todo lo que se hecho en el extremo - 10% de descuento, lo que debería haber sido descontado de la factura total. Y es que realmente carne? ! Si es así, guau, cocidas que el tipo de carne es irreconocible.

Asistieron 155 para un brunch cumpleaños amigos y éramos un grupo de 30 y quedé muy impresionado con el servicio.Todo el equipo de personal organizado, atento y atendió todas nuestras diversas necesidades dietéticas. a pesar de los desafíos de un grupo grande! El lugar tiene un ambiente muy chulo también abajo - muy bien perfecto para alquiler privado.Por desgracia, la comida era bastante normal (e. g. Comida fría, tostadas muy duro y no mencionar las raciones no son muy generosas! ). Para mejorar en esta área, pero el menú tiene una buena variedad de opciones.Increíble Bloody Mary's, así que vale la pena volver para aquellos y el servicio impresionante!

We fell in love with 155 Bar & Kitchen, a welcoming Scandi-style restaurant/spa/homeware shop/bar. The chairs were super comfortable and warm (it was freezing outside) as they were covered in fur and the staff was very welcoming (Xavier and Laszlo in particular).The restaurant gives a sense of relaxation and quietness. Service was quick and attentive but not intrusive and we had the most amazing Gin & Tonic made with Portobello Gin. The food was very different to anything experienced before, I loved the chicken with linguine and my partner loved his lamb. We would have re-eaten the same dish again! We are planning to go back again tonight as we had such a nice time there!

Had a breakfast meeting here on thursday morning - the food is good. they appear to use high quality ingredients. coffee is good and the pricing reasonable.

I've been here a couple of times for the pre theatre menu - once I even went to the theatre! Sadler's Wells is just 10 minutes walk away. The food is very good, the lamb is a particular favourite and the cheese board very substantial. The staff are lovely, efficient and attentive but not over bearing.

We booked our office Christmas Dinner, enticed by the all included wine in £75x person 2 course meal. We were left hungrier than when we arrived. The main course consisted in 3 small rolls of a thin layer of turkey with some mousse inside. 4 Brussels sprouts (I know) and a tiny slice of potato cake. And thats it!! I hehe eaten larger starters, never mind first and main course. The Christmas puddings, were tiny moulds soooo hard to cut through.Later on I saw one of the cook going into the kitchen with a tray of pre-made long rolls wrapped into cling film. It must cost them 50p x roll and they can "feed" to 10 people with it. Very poor service too. We were left from 1pm to 2 pm before the food appeared. They filled the glasses to 1/4 and from time to time they would come and refill up to the same level. I wonder how many office Christmas parties made the same mistake to book at 155.

My colleagues and I visited here during the lunch service. The restaurant did not seem overly busy and the waitress was reasonably quick to take our order. Sadly we then waited well over 45 minutes for our food to arrive. When it did I think the general feeling was that it was ok but nothing great. My choice in particular was very disappointing. I had ordered the pork belly sandwich, when ordering a sandwich I do expect a decent amount of filling, this was not the case. Across the halves of sandwich I had 3 and a bit very thinly sliced pieces of pork with the rest of the sandwich being made up of salad leaves, and pickled cabbage and cucumber garnish. Whilst my colleagues choices of fish and chips and burger were more acceptable portion sizes I don’t think anyone was blown away. The waitress was apologetic about the delay but when it’s a relatively simple order over a lunchtime you can’t help but expect more. I’d been looking forward to trying this place for weeks as I’d heard good things and the overall idea and space it fantastic. Sadly on our visit it didn’t live up to expectations.

Visited 155 with a group of 8 and thoroughly enjoyed the food, wine and serviceThis venue is massive and even has it's own wine cellar on the ground floor. Highly recommend.

I held my 30th Birthday Brunch celebrations here a few weekends ago. Considering there were 28 of us, the staff were very attentive and catered to us all. The food was delicious and the venue was lovely. After brunch, we all moved to the piano lounge and continued making the most of the bottomless prosecco. The events management team were ace at organising the event for me and sending me menus in advance so that my guests could pre-order their meals. I would return without a doubt, many of my friends also complimented the venue asking how I had found out about it. Thank you for an amazing day to remember and for catering for such a large group!

Attended a breakfast meeting here this morning - what a terrific place. Not just a lovely bar and restaurant but so much more! A great function space with lots of room. Cocktail lounge (with a lovely looking menu), shops selling very on trend clothing for both men and women, also homewares of all kinds and furniture. not to mention the art gallery and the very luxurious spa too. Wow. I'll definitely be back.

We were lucky it was a quiet friday night so we had plenty of attention. The cocktail selection is great and the bartenders know what they are doing. Catching happy hour made it so reasonable that we doubled up!

Went here for a joint birthday Saturday afternoon brunch with my friends. The food was good and there is a bottomless option that is well stocked. One negative though, as it was our friends birthday we sang them happy birthday only to be warned that we were too noisy and would be asked to leave. This was despite the fact that we were pretty much the only people left in the restaurant (and we're a group 15), it was a Saturday brunch (so you expect it to have an atmosphere) and it was a birthday party (so you'd expect we might sing happy birthday). Accordingly would recommend for good food and quiet people!!

It's an easy review to be honest.The manager is a lovely fellow, very welcoming and knowledgeable.The staff are extremely attentive and speedy, not very personable, but I feel this fits the venue.The decor is delightful.The bathrooms are clean and well decorated, what more can you ask.The drinks menu is full and accomplished.Slightly high on pricing, but i feel this fits the offer.A must

Having attended various events at 155, I can confirm that it is a very nice and perfect place for either business breakfasts, lunches and dinners or entertaining with friends.

This is a perfect place for a business lunch. Quiet enough to hold a conversation, good service, excellent value, and great food. The 2 course business lunch menu offers a great selection. The Cornish fish soup was incredible, although the aioli could have had a lot more garlic. The mushroom ravioli was soft and velvety - stuffed full of flavour and filling, with a terrific herby sauce that had the perfect amount of acidity to sharpen the dish.

We come here almost every Saturday morning now because the breakfast is really super! I suggest waffles with bacon and scrambled eggs. Or a simple, but still very well done, eggs and avocado.Not only the food is amazing but the furniture and interior design is really unique and well curated. there is a nice (but expensive) shop connected to the restaurant as well.

Just to the left of the bar area is a room with one table seating six persons, and this provided a perfect place for a business lunch for six. The service was of high quality, and the food delicious. There was a minor blip in that the restaurant had run out of the Chablis we ordered, but otherwise the experience was very good indeed. Almost like private dining! Well done.

Went for bottomless brunch for a long overdue catch up with a friend. We were througouhly looked after and had a lovely giggly afternoon. The food was perfection and the bubbles definitely kept rolling!

The food is great; especially the scallops and the burger. Very polite and friendly staff but not intrusive at all. We also like the wall paper music; it really sets the mood and he volume is not too high. On the plus the amused bouche gravadlax salmon which was a delight. I totally recommend If you are in the area.

Unique, very high end décor and furniture. Food was top quality and service was 5 stars. Great place and concept. Will be back. Thank you to all the team behind this fantastic place. Gregory

It REALLY is such a shame , because the staff are friendly and the food beautifully prepared but this IS the 21st Century and to ensure they don't get the wrong clients staying thee too long , there are NO POWER POINTS in either the cafe or meeting room that patrons can use. You can't charge your iphone Ipad because the only plugs I can see are circular 3 pins from the 1950's ! And - The music is more important than any customer or meeting. Its not like this is Marble Arch or Trafalgar Square where every seat is PACKED !! No the noise is more important than the customers.

Visited on Easter Monday. Staff were super friendly. Venue wasn't busy but still had a great atmosphere. Food was good especially the sensational chips cooked in beef dripping - fantastic! Despite there being no desserts on the Brunch menu the Chef was more than happy to rustle up four delicious puddings. We truly enjoyed our meal and I recommend a visit. Don't forget to have a wander through the shop before or after.

Went for dinner with friends at 155 - food was good and affordable although it can be hit and miss with the food quantity. Dessert were average. Good wine although beware of the rip off with dessert wine: Cockburn ruby dressed as vintage port: a drop for a tenner. I know vintage port. This was not it! Toilets are shocking. Would I go back? ... Nope

I pass 155 Bar & Kitchen regularly whilst walking from Kings Cross down to central London. The first time I visited, I was looking for somewhere to have a coffee that wasn't one of the standard coffee shops, and somewhere I could do some work for 30 minutes. I was immediately approached and asked what I'd like, when I explained I was after a coffee I was directed through the bar / restaurant area to some more lounge-style seating where I'd be more comfortable and my coffee arrived in due course. A little while later I was asked if I needed anything else, and I'd enjoyed the coffee so much that I asked for another one "in about ten minutes". A carafe of water then arrived, and my second coffee followed in almost exactly the ten minutes.The service, atmosphere and quality of the coffee was so good that I've popped in several times over the last month, including visiting for breakfast yesterday. The full breakfast is astoundingly good, and generous, and great value at £9. I could not have hoped for a better start to my day.When I walked back up Farringdon Road towards Kings Cross later in the day I saw the gentleman who'd served me at breakfast time walking towards me: no doubt he'd had a busy day between my breakfast and 4pm, but I received a big smile and wave and enquiry if I'd had a good day.I'm really looking forward to visiting for dinner next week, and no doubt will follow that up with another breakfast visit.Thank you!

My partner and I enjoyed the wonderful surroundings and delightful food and drinks at 155 last night. The entire atmosphere was magical and definitely a night to remember for all the right reasons. Very relaxing venue and delightfully charming staff. A return visit is already in the planning stages....

155 is not only a great bar and chic evening venue, they serve fabulous breakfasts too.The eggs and avocado on toast have become a firm favourite of mine, albeit the full English is delicious too.Friendly service; prompt hot food; and delicious coffee are great reasons to go here on business or on holiday for an enjoyable breakfast time conversation . Good quality value for money though not cheap.The day starts well at 155, and I have become a regular - but don't tell too many people or it will spoil it for me! :)Enjoy!

Ironically, 155 was a second choice as for our dining that evening as our first couldn't accommodate us - lucky us! It's on a main road, but not a main tourist path in London - but not difficult at all to get to by tube/walk. We started with ceviche. Then, my daughter wanted steak, and the rest of us were looking for seafood, and all were satisfied. I had the smoked cod with a cauliflower puree. Two other companions has what in my opinion were the best scallops I've ever had. Daughter had I think a hanger steak, with some tremendous mashed potato fries (so mashed potatoes shaped and fried into french fry shape - wow!).

We found this place by chance and came in for an early lunch. Great atmosphere, trendy decor, nice lighting and cheerful staff. We had the 2 course business lunch menu and the chef was happy to swap the fried duck egg for a poached one, which made the starter really really good. I had the moules to follow, again very tasty and served with good French fries. Sticky toffee pudding for dessert was yummy and a big enough portion for 2 to share. The venue has some private dining rooms which would be great for a birthday or gathering and downstairs there is a trendy bar area. Will definitely come back!

Randomly found this place for a business lunch with a client and was blown away. The service is phenomenal, the food was stunning and a great wine cellar. Both me and my client will be using this place for our preferred meeting place. They have a great lounge and basement area too. Highly, highly recommended!

I've eaten here a couple of times and this week was particularly good. The room is well designed with some cool retro features. The service is welcoming and very efficient. They do a set business lunch for £14 for two courses and promise to get you fed within an hour. Excellent value and respectful to your diary. The food is modern European Brasserie fayre. It was well cooked and served hot. The mac n cheese was lovely and the ploughman's is one of the best I've had in years. I recommend this place for food and for drinks. Lots of design clientele and others, without being pretentious. Lovely.

I loved the food and drink at this venue. Such a lovely atmosphere, amazing steak and lovely service. We went in for a work do, and this was not booked, however they accommodated us promptly and gave us the best possible experience they could. I'll definitely be going back again.

Went for a pre-Christmas extended lunch with friends. Food was excellent and we thought fairly reasonably priced. Service not the fastest (waiting staff very attentive, food just seemed to take a while) but we weren't in any rush - in fact we quite enjoyed the relaxed feel of the place. There is a separate business lunch menu for those on a deadline. Its a nice space with a funky shop attached for whiling away an afternoon.

155 seem to have lowered their normally high standards, or don't know how to cater for large group. - Smoked salmon starter was very unambitious - Main course was cold by the time everyone was served- Desert was a horrid and odd mix of fatty, stodgy cold sponge with shaving foam style soft meringue on top.

Went with some friends today. We ordered our food and we had to wait for an hour and a quarter until they served it.I had fish and chips - the fish was average, and the chips too thick and not completely done on the inside.

An absolutely delightful find for either brunch or dinner! To start with the staff are just lovely and making our experience very comfortable. We loved that as a couple they still managed to seat us at a 4 person table, which meant no eavesdropping from fellow diners. Then there's the offer of complimentary still or sparkling water. Such a great touch to our experience. The food was also beautifully plated and unpretentiously delicious. They even brought us out extra little nibbles. We're definitely coming back for brunch. Thanks for making our first visit so memorable and pleasurable!

I tried this place last Saturday and it unexpectedly became one of my top 3 restaurants in the area.Food = 5/5We had the 'savoury waffle' and 'dirty burger' for brunch. It was just delicious and honestly, for that price, I was not really expecting such quality of foods.Service = 5/5The place was very busy and, as we did not make any reservation, we thought we may get turned away. But the staffs very kindly gave us a lively table downstairs which is normally used as a function room and wine bar (with design chairs, piano, wine storage room?). Despite being the only table downstairs, the staffs regularly came to check on us (every 15 min). They were very kind and efficient.Decor = 5/5Elegant & contemporary. The main dining room appears to be scandi-style. The Vinyl store (bar & chill area) next to the main dining room is very comfy. The function room dowstairs is simply very elegant.Price = 4/5Very reasonable price for the area. I've been to many local restaurants who overprice their menu and this place so far has a very good value for money.

An unplanned visit, but a great evening. The menu was well thought out and seasonal, and the food delicious and well presented. They should get an entry in the we-want-plates campaign, as the amuse bouche was served on a stone.I would certainly recommend this restaurant.

Clearly the kitchen can produce food to a high standard, and was all good.The service was totally random - trying hard, but too many staff spending most of their time apologising for a series of minor failures. For example, I know they have only been open over the summer, but to have zero ability to hang jackets and costs anywhere in the entire restaurant is pretty poor, if not to say bizarre. Winter is fast approaching so they need to get down to Ikea and shell out 30 quid for a coat rack. Sadly it is a bit symptomatic of front of house - just no real attention to detail. Slightly worried that on Thursday night in the City it was not full and if 155 does not make it that would be a shame as the chef deserves more. Perhaps getting a really top front of house person to fix it would be a good investment.

This restaurant has a fairly limited menu and a significant number of fish dishes. Note that if you want the lamb make sure that you order it quickly when you arrive. We had what we thought were "nibbles" (I think we read the "bar snacks" menu carelessly!) so ended up skipping starters and then ordered our mains. There was indeed a delay for our main course but we were not worried and they were extremely apologetic suggesting myriad ways they could make it up to us. 4 shared starters and 4 mains, 4 bottles of wine, 4 coffees total £236 including tip (the rest of what we had was complimentary due to delays!). This is a fairly new restaurant so it was not full, despite being Thursday night, and there were therefore too many waiting staff who didn't really know what to do with themselves. I hope that it shapes up because the cooking is good and I will return to see how it has progressed!

This quirky bar, see other reviews for more, is also open for breakfast. There's a separate area with a table for a small group (8 or so), so it's great for a team get together. Good coffee, friendly service and great cooked breakfast options. Eggs Benedict were lovely.The main bar area has well spaced tables, so is also good for business discussions over coffee during the day or a light lunch.

Really amazing space - great cocktails I hope this place gets some traffic because it has the ingredients to be a perfect place for that slightly smarter drink, or business meeting over coffees.Much more focused than the previous 155 following the revamp . Much much bigger - huge shopping space with high end goods, huge dining and drinking spaces. Both spread over two floorsQuite a nice change for clerkenwell/Farringdon from the standard IPA drinking pubs - though we all love them as wellThe mojito is made to perfection !!! Could've improved with dimmer lighting in the evening ! Beer on tap (too far?)Love the boules vintage -

Absolutely loved my mid-week dinner there last night booked at the last minute .. We shared 6 delicious small plates for the price of 3 using my Taste Card. all were simly fantastic

we got a 241 deal on small plates on tastecard. this really was some of the nicest food!! plenty too :) and the staff were lovely. will defintiely come again!

Probably the best steak and chips I've ever had but at over £230 for 3 people (3 mains, 2 Cheeseboard and a bottle of wine) I thought it a bit expensive.

Absolutely loved my mid-week dinner there last night with a friend. We shared 6 delicious small plates for the price of 3 using my Taste Card. I can't choose a favourite because they were all amazing. Just ask the nice waitress for recommendations.We paid £30 for the wine (Vina Albergada Albizu Tempranillo Rioja 2013) and it was REALLY GOOD wine. They served these amazing (complimentary) smoked pecan nuts with paprika which were made in house. But you have to be careful not to get full on them!Friendly staff. Downstairs wine cellar. Win win win.

I had a super meal with some girlfriends at 155 recently. Great wines and Kumle mixed up some fantastic cocktails. 155 is a really original place, set within a concept store with beautiful products and ambiance. I enjoy good food and so often get disappointed with the price/quality, however here we had really creative dishes with a twist - I will definitely be returning!

love this place so much. it's a really nice twist with it being a bar/restaurant inside a shop. the menu is great, and I was told that it's seasonal so it's ever changing. great little find that I've already recommended to all of my friends!

A very interesting concept. Retail and food under the same roof in a relaxing, stylish, atmosphere. The bar staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The retail space concentrates on luxury brands that you cant find elsewhere and that I couldn't afford. The wine selection has been expertly edited to give you the best selection that complements your meal.The menu is small but has enough depth to make it interesting and I was told it changed regularly. I look forward to returning to try some new dishes. My friends and I enjoyed our evening there.

Newly opened bar/restaurant, in a place being both a shop and bar. Unfortunately running a shop, even bespoke man tailor, is quite different from running a wine bar - only few wines by glass are available, and if there is a nice selection of bottles they are outrageously overpriced, even for London. Maybe worth giving a second chance in few months but for the time being, avoid.
