Granary Square Brasserie in Camden

Booked for a birthday brunch with our son. As ever, the food was good but the service… Frosty and unhelpful greeting, slow slow service. We had to chase drinks 3 times. Loos were horrible which I reported and got hardly a response. At our request service charge was taken off but no apology for the slow indifferent service. Would think twice now about returning - what a shame

We had a fantastic time at Granary Square Brasserie, especially thanks to Mario, who took such great care of us. He was attentive to the quality of every dish we ordered and made the experience seamless by answering all our questions with ease. On top of that, he was hilarious to chat with, adding an extra spark to our evening. Big shout-out to him!

Great environment for a family dinner with excellent food and service. Will definitely be back again. Highly recommend this venue.

We booked for a treat and expected the bill to be on the high side - but we also thought we would get good service- sadly not. The restaurant was huge and very busy on a Saturday night, no complaints about the initial greeting and the table. Music was a little loud but it did create privacy between tables which were fairly close together. Food was fine we had the steak for main course and the starters we picked were delicious. Our main gripe was the totally disinterested service from our main server. I didn’t expect effusive service it isn’t that kind of place - far too busy but i did expect something a smile perhaps or a few pleasantries. I will not name and as it’s unfair but it doesn’t take much to be polite. When the food is not cheap and they add the service onto the bill it doesn’t encourage good service- I suspect he simply couldn’t be bothered as he knew he would more than likely get what was added to bill.

Por favor, cuídate si tienes alergias. He enviado mensajes al Grupo Ivy esta mañana para plantear una queja formal, pero ayer tuve una experiencia peligrosa. Le hice saber a mi servidor que necesitaba un menú de alérgenos, y me ordenó escanear el código QR. Elegí un plato sin gluten (el curry de pato) y me preguntó sobre alergias cuando lo pedí, y confirmé que estaba libre de gluten. Cuando llegó la comida, la comida de mi amigo tenía la alerta de alergia pegada, así que le pregunté si mi curry de pato era gf. Después de consultar con la cocina, me dijeron que el menú había cambiado, y ya no lo era. El menú de alérgenos estaba mal. El servidor y la cocina no comunicaron mis necesidades, y me sirvieron un plato que podría haberme puesto muy mal.

On sunday we went to ear at the granary square ivy it was for a table of 8 and all of us worked in catering from manager ass manager head waiter head sommelier etc The service was very slow we were sitting on the terrace and had to wait at least 15mn foe someone to asked if we need some drinks We order some drinks after that we order the food The food was very good But the side and the sauce for the sirloin took to long to come i had to asked 3 time about it my collegue finish his sirloin before the sauce and french beans came Also when you order the sirloin he should come with 1 garnish at least chips and the price you charged for so little bearnaise it is rediculuse We order another bottle of red and no one bring new glasses I had to speak to one of your duuty manager and she offer complimentary dessert plus sweet one but is not the point I go to restaurant to enjoy not to be mistery guest I will not be in rush to go back there Looking forward to hear your feed back

Came for a second time and received the same warm welcome as before. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. The fixed price menu choice is more than adequate. I cannot fault this restaurant. It is clean and well presented, both inside and out. It is in a great location with attentive service. Thanks to Desiree and Finn who really did make a difference and made us feel especially welcome. I strongly recommend this restaurant if you want a very good, but very reasonably priced, meal in London.

Great service. We were looked after by Desiree and Finn. They were both friendly, polite and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was lively

This was a lovely setting with the usual Ivy Brasserie good food. There was some interesting additions to the menu. The service was excellent, the food very good and it was not overly pricey. It has become my favourite spot in Kings X

What a treat! Always a pleasure to eat here in these stylish surroundings, and this week's lunch was a delicious delight from start to finish. Even during a really busy service, the staff are friendly and helpful. Our waitress helped me avoid a main course that would have been too spicy for me, and my second choice proved to be gorgeous: Artichoke & Sweet Potato Tagine. My other courses were equally enjoyable: French Onion Soup with Gratinated Cheese Croutons, and, from the range of splendid indulgent desserts, the Ivy Chocolate Bombe. I strongly recommend the Granary Square Brasserie, but you really need to book.

We had the 1917 set menu. The choice and actual food was excellent. Service was ok, drinks seemed to take a while to come but we were sitting outside.

Last night, we had the pleasure of dining at this elegant restaurant, which perfectly combines sophistication with a cozy atmosphere. The food was excellent: every dish, from appetizers to desserts, was prepared with fresh ingredients and presented impeccably. Despite the restaurant being full booked, the service was flawless. The waitstaff were always kind and available, without ever being intrusive. A special thanks goes to Matthew, the waiter who attended to us throughout the evening. His smile and kindness were the cherry on top, enhancing our dinner by making sure we were well attended to throughout the entire evening. A small note, the prices are slightly higher than one might expect, but considering the location and everything else mentioned, it's an expense that can be accepted.

Went to this restaurant with a voucher I was gifted to the value of £150 which was for a “champagne dinner. Food was average, service was poor, got one small glass of champagne each and we were charged for service on top of the voucher despite the total of our meal valuing to £80. The 3 course menu would’ve cost £25 each as it was midweek if we had paid upfront. Also Super limited menu if using a voucher. It’s Probably a fine restaurant for a cheap meal if you get a midweek deal, but would not recommend buying vouchers for any Ivy restaurants as it ends up costing a lot more than if you pay upfront.

We were a group of 6 women celebrating a 60th. Food was an amazing, We were served by Finn who was outstanding, he ensured we were looked after and left happy even though we couldn’t stay for coffee after our meal. Only let down was the music was quite loud for lunchtime.would definitely return

We were a group of 6 celebrating a special birthday. Finn looked after us and nothing was too much trouble. From the moment I walked in the service was very good and this continued throughout our stay. Food was delicious too.

Had a lovely meal last night. Looked after by Fabio who was knowledgeable, fun and quick. All the food was delicious and puddings too. Perhaps the crepes in the crepe susette could have been warm. Also prices were very reasonable for a London restaurant. Thanks

Very disappointing service throughout the evening. 6 of us were initially placed on a tiny bar table with a pillar in the middle and no hope of being able to dine comfortably. This booking was made a month beforehand so not a last-minute squeeze in. Management agreed to move us but very little grace or any apology for the inadequate seating. We ended up in another squashed booth which should seat 4/5. The food was okay, however had to ask 4 times for a soft drink and a long time for the dessert menu. One waiter who was great was clearly carrying his poorly trained and quite rude colleagues. I didn’t even bother with pudding as by this point I’d given up the will to live. The manager did apologise but yet we still had a bill with items not ordered.Classic case of cramming in far too many seatings with poor customer service the result. Will not be returning.

Something's going wrong in restaurants. We left the Granary last evening around 10:00 pm in a state of relief having been assaulted for two hours by high decibel dance music. Despite multiple requests to have the volume reduced the DJ relentlessly cranked up the volume. We were not the only complainants - at various stages it seemed other diners had got there ahead of us. We ate our food wondering how long we might have to endure this before we could leave - not the environment to have a pleasant conversation over dinner with American friends hosting us at a restaurant we recommended. We can only assume this was the DJ's warm up gig for his maximum decibel performance later in the night. Good luck to him. He has just lost four customers for his restaurant employer and probably many more besides. There are still some customers who can sustain a conversation over a two hour period without relying on their smart phones or the DJ to fill in the gaps. Please review your music policy to revert to an appropriate restaurant ambience. In case I forget the food is still quite good and the service attentive, so disappointing to have to drop it!

This is a spot for a great breakfast! In the future, I would definitely bring family again with a couple of my friends. Their price is reasonable and their food is delicious!

Amazing restaurant with delicious food and great services to the bar, staff is very kind,polite and respectful especially Selin,Kevin,Klodian,Depesh. Definitely I will recommend it to all my friends.

Great service and great food! We had a very good experience went there for dinner with a couple of friends service was on point as well as the food. Would definitely recommend.

i visited the restaurant on monday and everything was fantastic from the moment I stepped my foot there, the receptionist at the door was very friendly and she gave us a table even if it was very busy, the waiter was extremely attentive and he gave us great raccomendations. The food and drinks were good. I definetely reccomend it

I have never before felt like such a nuisance in a restaurant. We had booked a table from 6 - 7.30pm but within less than 1 hour a grumpy waiter interrupted our conversation with a card reader and a demand that we pay immediately because we didn't want to order dessert and they wanted our table. By 7.15pm, and whilst I was still finishing off my drink, an equally miserable second waiter had come and nagged us again. Food was OK. My shepherd's pie showed no sign of vitamins but it did arrive with a curious side dish of extra gravy. But even if it had been the most delicious preparation imaginable it would have a tough job making up for the lack of hospitality.

Booked to eat at 8pm. Arrived to a queue of people all of whom had booked but were waiting for their table to become free. The restaurant clearly over books and were over 25 mins late offering us our table. The restaurant was packed so we went elsewhere.

One of those restaurants that ask if you have a reservation and then are aghast when you say no even though you just checked the online reservations and every slot was available. Thus we were out on table behind a pillar. The look and feel of the place is lovely but it became clear pretty soon that it’s part of The Ivy brand but just a bit more diluted Nice house champagne but starter of burrata, blood orange and pistachio came with at least 15 pips which could have been mission for the pistachio - I assume the chef has shares in dentistry. Staff seemed uninterested when I pointed it out. Vegan burger was sloppy but chips were nice We left feeling underwhelmed

Didn't leave entirely happy from here unfortunately. Was charged almost £5.00 for a 4 I repeat 4 pieces of olives - ordered it to have a bit of nibbles before the main arrived. We had some water for the table, and when we finished it, it didn't get refilled. The waiter was too busy, so we couldn't even get their attention. I understand the pricing in restaurants, however we also paid service charge on top of everything as well. It would be ideal to give your customers some more value as prices are high but the service offered was mediocre.

Good food great service from Fabio!!! I got the burger and truffle fries. The arancini were my favourite!!! Service was impeccable- very good dining experience.

Booked a table for 4 for birthday celebration. It was our first visit. The ambience and environment is good. It was ver busy for Thursday evening. The waiting staff were very professional although service was a little slow. My daughter already viewed the menu on line and mentally selected her dishes from the January menu. The available dishes were from February although it was the 30th of January. Another guest ordered a rare steak but was given it well cooked. Admittedly the steak was removed and replaced with no fuss. The rest of us were almost finished with the main course by the time the rare steak arrived. All the food however was well presented, starters were particularly good. Overall however the celebrant enjoyed the evening.

I have been to this restaurant twice now, I won't be going back for a third visit. It's a big space but the tables are packed in so tight it becomes a very overcrowded noisy, cramped and stressful environment. We booked a table for three and was given a table for two, me being perched at the side of a table with barley enough space for two plates never mind three wasn't going to work. We were ready to walk out when the waiter found us a proper table. Myself and my son ordered chicken supreme which was supremely disappointing, I likened it to a flat breaded chicken from Iceland with a fried egg on top, it came with some strange gravy and could not distinguish what it was supposed to taste of. My wife ordered fish and chips which is usually a safe bet, the fish batter was soft and soggy and to had to remove the batter before eating the fish. This was supposed to be a birthday celebration with complimentary cake for desert, the cake arrived with a small hole in the top where a candle once was, obviously taken out and used elsewhere with birthday candles in short supply. This restaurants greatest asset are its staff, hard working and rushed off their feet in an oversubscribed restaurant, professional and courteous at all times. Overpriced and overrated.

Very busy. Book on Saturdays. Staff were pleasant. Food was ok and served quickly. Prosecco was too expensive. Seating a bit crammed, but ok.

Fantastic service. Fabio was super attentive, friendly and professional. Really great. The food was very good (with reasonable prices) and the environment quite special. It is often full though, so you must reserve

My sister and I had unbelievably bad service at this restaurant today. We arrived and were out at a table extremely close to a table of around 12 people and it was so loud we couldn't have a conversation, we were also by a door...

I have been eating here with friends for 10 years. However, we arrived at the restaurant yesterday only to be told we had just 1.5 hours. We had to rush our lunch and had no time for desert or coffee. Food was disappointing and cold....

Really disappointed at my visit to GSB. From the unfriendly, unsmiling reception, to the extremely packed together tables, where you can hear the entire conversation of couples sitting 2 tables away, and the constant being knocked by the passing servers, because there is no room...

Great location and very attractive restaurant. We had an excellent server waiting on our table for 10. Good food. Service probably a bit slower than wed prefer but server was covering a lot of covers and all orders were taken correctly including all the sides....

This is a reliable place to go for a good lunch. The food and service is of consistently high quality. They were busy but still made a table available for Saturday lunch without a reservation. One thing that I find particularly annoying, and would have...

This was my second visit and as with the last time it was an exceptional dining experience. We were a semi large group of 7 and we had starters, mains and desserts - all of which were delicious and the presentation was amazing!!! A very...

We went for breakfast with friends - 10-30am table. Food and drink was good and nicely served. However we were not told that ordering from the breakfast menu stopped at 10-45am. We were unable to order more, except from the lunch menu which didn’t contain...

Despite stating on our online booking that one of a party needed lactose and gluten free food, as requested on the booking form, that did not get through to the maitre’d or management. Luckily after much toing and froing. After the order was placed our...

Dreadful place.Appalling service.received a Ai response to my Google review .Surely they should have said we will conduct an investigation in what went wrong ,rather than " we hope to see you soon " so we can rip you off again with a very bad...

Beautiful restaurant, ambience and great location, close to Kings cross station. Appalling customer service and communication. Manager/waiter was so arrogant and unprofessional. Definitely need some staff training on social etiquette! Food came warm so asked for if to be reheated by which time my daughter...

Lovely location looks great plenty of happy people but we were disappointed. One of the party is Coeliac & ordered a GF curry. Another member of our party of 3 ordered the same thing-Duck curry- in standard format. The GF curry appeared to have a...

The service is so great I felt like king. I was happy. I did enjoy the meals and the environment it was awesome.

Waited 25 mins for our table, were told to wait outside in the cold. When we sat down we waited another 15 minutes before anyone asked us for drinks order. Another 15 for food order. Admittedly it was full of Xmas shoppers and work doos,...

beautiful place. in addition to the location taken care of in every detail and very clean (which is not always easy to find) I can say that I ate very well and drank even better thanks to the advice of the staff. I was with...

We’ve dined here often since The Granary Square Brasserie opened and usually really enjoy the wonderful food, comfortable surroundings and good attentive service. After waiting over an hour for our main courses to arrive, we were then visited by a staff member just as our...

We came here as a group for a Christmas meal. It was just a really average experience, we had to wait 20 minutes for the table, half the set menu was missing, thankfully the food we did have was nice. Nothing left available for desserts,...

It is a nice clean modern setting with attentive service, although very busy. To that extent it was all very pleasant. However, the food was poor. We had Zucchini fritti starter which was huge but too salty and soggy. Cut too thin to come out...

Lovely surroundings. Looks and feels very exclusive but the prices were not extortionate. The eggs are the best I've ever had. Really nice spot for breakfast

Good food, but that's expected for the price. Terrible service. Had to order and reorder drinks several times. Waiter said we had to understand they were busy.

This is probably one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had in a very long time. I have been going to all of the London Ivy restaurants for years now and this was by far the worst. This was my first meal out since...

Poor service in what is a beautiful restaurant. Food was average at best but at higher than average prices. Used to be really good, but not any more.

Very nice moment with family during our trip in London , service very attentive and friendly by Amandine , good food and value ! Hopefully one day we can be back 😁

We have made a booking for 2 people for outside table. When we arrived we were put in an inside table for 4. When we were ready to order (and we waited 20 minutes to even be noticed by someone, so we had to call...

A very busy night pre-Christmas and the staff really outperformed in a very full restaurant. Service was both brisk and pleasant. However, despite a salubrious setting, this scion of the Ivy chain offers only airly average and even tasteless cuisine at a very premium price....

Amazing service from the moment we walked into the restaurant. From the front house to the lovely waiter who looked after us everything was fabulous. Will definitely be visiting again.

The lunch at the Brasserie was just delightful. We came in without a reservation and the front desk sat us down straightaway. The service was quicker than expected. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Venue is lovely - we went on a busy Saturday mid-morning for brunch and it felt lively rather than crowded and had a nice feel to it. Unfortunately, whilst we were in the process of being seated, one of the staff bumped into my wife...

This is one of the restaurants to be found in Coal Drop Yard located just behind Kings Cross. How this area has changed over the years! The restaurant is smart, busy and with a great brasserie vibe (whatever that is!). The table staff were lovely...

What an odd experience - service is process rather than Customer driven - my friend arrived 15 mins early but was told he couldn’t sit at our empty table and wait for me because “the c,oak starts and you have to order straight away” so...

Lovely restaurant, great atmosphere, staff are very friendly and helpful, when you can speak to them! The service was appallingly slow...... we were there 45 minutes before they even took a drinks order and the food was even longer. The drinks then sat on the...

It was five days ago but how can I forget the best waiter ever? TONY was astonishingly warm, welcoming, efficient and so so nice and quick and fantatically caring. He was astute. He was there as soon as we needed him. He disappeared letting us...

I visited the brasserie for lunch with a friend.  Neither of us had been there before, but she chose it because she thought it was quite conveniently placed for both of us, and she visits the Ivy near where she lives quite a lot, and...

I have been to the Granary Square Brasserie a few times and it has become one of my few “go to” venues in London. It’s an Ivy restaurant but not in name and the menu is similar to those of the chain. The lunch menu...

Beautiful venue with great ambience and comfortable seating. Food was delicious and thank you Fin. He hugely added to our experience with his attentive service. Will be back soon.

I was visiting London to take my mum to the theatre for her 80th birthday and booked this restaurant for lunch as another treat beforehand. It had been recommended to me by a friend, and we were not disappointed! As soon as we arrived, we...

We kind of stumbled on this place while checking out the trendy new King's Cross area- and really liked it! It was completely full on a Saturday night, but they were able to accommodate us on their (heated) patio and it didn't seem to slow...

Amazing experience, excellent food and atmosphere. Extremely friendly and competent service, ask for Armendine, she is a delight! She organized a little birthday cake and candle for our mum, so lovely! Thank you, we will be back!

We had wonderful service with a waitress called Lilly, she made the evening really pleasant. The food was very tasty, lovely atmosphere. Our only complaint is it's slightly on the expensive side. A definite for a special occasion though!

What a total delight this restaurant is ! Warm welcoming friendly team and atmosphere so slick and professional food was amazing we sat outside on the terrace which was lovely I would definitely recommend and return to this hidden gem of a place Thankyou for...

The food was so tasty, the staff who looked after us was really knowledgeable and helped us choose the food as we were overwhelmed by the choice. Loved it !!

Quick breakfast before going to Paris and I must say how lovely it was. Thank you for the lovely service

An excellent place for a family reunion. Staff so friendly and helpful, food delicious. We were made to feel welcome, and weren't hurried at all, excellent service.

Dropped in for a breakfast. Staff extremely accommodating and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. I had vegetarian, hubby had full English. Food, well cooked, beautifully presented by the very pleasant and chatty waiter. Lovely atmosphere, sat outside but went inside to use the bathroom and to...

First time visit to this establishment and from start to finish, we had an excellent experience. All the staff we encountered were all so helpful and friendly. The food itself was excellent! I’ve never said this about any breakfast before but my scrambled eggs were...

For people short of a better idea. Average yet busy. Runs the same menu as the Ivy chain. Staff are uninterested, poorly trained and rude. So many better options locally. Broaden your search and give this one a miss

My friend & I stumbled upon this place & it did not disappoint. Had a very reasonably priced meal sitting outside with a lovely glass of wine. The experience was enhanced by the wonderful waiter, Finn Smith, who was attentive but not intrusive at all....

Went here with my husband and my parents. Food was delicious. Our server was impeccable, friendly, attentive. Not too noisy, great location as my parents were staying at King's Cross

We had a lovely meal but the service was so slow and we were ignored for much of the time. I was irritated to have been charged over £40 for poor service but there was no option to reduce or remove this tip when I...

An excellent place for a small family reunion. Staff so friendly and helpful, food delicious, good selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. We were made to feel welcome, and weren't hurried at all.

First time back in London and staying at Kings Cross. We looked up Conde Nast and found excellent reviews on this restaurant. From beginning to end it was an incredible experience, comfort when dining, incredibly delicious menu and beyond amazing desert … Chicolate Bomb… and...

Fantastów food and very attentive service! Our Polish waitress Anita went above and beyond to make us happy! Thank you!

Great spot for a casual lunch with friends! Atmosphere was great and service very attentive. Our waitress Anita was really friendly and professional! Will definitely be back!

An extremely average teatime meal, if you enjoy chain restaurant food and less than good table service this is the perfect place for you. Be prepared to though to spend over £40 on a bottle of wine and have to top your own glass up...

We found this restaurant by chance when sightseeing near Kings Cross and although we hadn't booked we were fortunate to obtain a table straightaway. The restaurant is most attractively furnished and I was pleased to find tablecloths, linen napkins and decent quality cutlery which gave...

Great vibe without being deafening. Beautifully decorated. We were lucky to get a table without booking. To our pleasant surprise, the service was exceptional: our waiter Fabio went the extra mile. Loved our mains and dessert.

Excellent food and service! The staff were really lovely and the atmosphere was really amazing! We had such a good laugh and delicious food!

I was visiting a friend who lives in Kings Cross and we just decided to go out for dinner. We did not have any reservation but decided to go to his fav restaurant which is part of the Ivy. It was my first time there...

Pretty good meal in a nice environment. It's not overly cheap but worth paying a little extra for. It is probably sensible to book in advance but not absolutely essential.

I have written to the restaurant a week ago to share our experience and give them an opportunity to reply privately, however, as they haven't replied, i'm sharing our experience below. There were 6 of us for lunch and unfortunately, we'd been sat underneath the...

Lovely food in a nice location. Service was attentive but forgetful. Especially when ordering extras or asking about the wine of the month which they had run out of on the 5th. Would also be nice if waiter knew what accompanied a dish. Watercress is...

Celebrating a friend’s birthday, we had exceptional service and the food was excellent. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. It was our first visit and impressed.
