The Kitchen at Holmes in City of London, Westminster

Had a very lovely meal at this restaurant. The food was very good and the service of a high standard. Prices were very reasonable. We had three courses, wine, dessert wine and coffee for less than £100 each. The atmosphere was pleasant with music at a nice level. Will absolutely return to this restaurant.

Very good restaurant. We were served by Mani and Silas. Very professional, helpful and attentive service. Very good cuisine.

What a cosy comfortable relaxing good service delicious restaurant!!! Worth it!

Food was delicious, service was fast, atmosphere is elegant and classy, i’d recommend their ribeye.

One of my favorite restaurants, where I often dine. The food is delicious and of high quality. The service is excellent. Today, my husband and I had lunch there, and we were treated to a complimentary dessert. It was incredibly delicious!

Nice restaurant and I had the breakfast deal part of my stay at the hotel. Great food and service

Wow. Beyond impressed. The best pasta I’ve had in London. Super good and fresh ingredients.

Nice place to grab coffee/breakfast and lunch. Staff very friendly and service was great.

I love this place and highly recommend it! The food and drinks are fantastic, and the service is truly outstanding. Iulia and Matteo are extremely kind and attentive!

The most elegant choice for a quick drink or nibbles near Baker St., avoiding all chains nearby. Excellent service, feels cosy, but not many tables near the bar. Get in early.

We had an amazing time at this restaurant! The food was fresh and flavorful, showcasing great attention to detail. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, while the staff made sure we felt right at home. A great place for an exceptional dining experience.

Very cozy restaurant with great service. Everyone was super welcoming, offered drinks and food recommendations. We had the fresh sea bass for two, courgette spaghetti (both super nice) and the pumpkin with ricotta (not amazing) Would recommend!

Outstanding service and quality food, for amazing prices! Share a bunch of plates you will be happy!

Brilliant for dogs, service and food. Matteo is completely wonderful and provided us with the most thoughtful service I can ever remember having in London.

We popped in here for my wife's birthday lunch & the food, atmosphere & service was amazing. Lorenzo serviced us & couldn't do enough for us. He even, on learning it was my wife's birthday, gave us a special surprise. Thank you for making it a special day.

Fantastic bar with a great barman! We had a great time. Matteo is a fab cocktail bar man! Best espresso Martini we’ve had in London!

Ugh! We waited an hour and 10 minutes for two dishes and were alone in the restaurant, after about 35-40 minutes a waiter comes with two beef carpaccio and says, this is for you, sorry for the wait (we didn't order them, in our country when the wait is long then from the kitchen they send an appetizer to account for the wait, which we thought was going to happen, but apparently it wasn't). Then we went to pay and saw those two beef carpaccio on the bill, told the waiter that we didn't order them but he brought them himself, he just laughed and said you ate them. Be careful!

Dining at Sherlock Holmes's Restaurant was an extraordinary experience. The ravioli with truffle was simply divine, and the sea bass for sharing was beautifully presented with delicate flavors. The staff were incredibly attentive, and Emmanuel, the chef, delighted our taste buds with his subtle yet sophisticated culinary combinations. An exquisite dining experience that left us craving more!

I've just finished my meal here and everything was so wonderful! The staff were wonderful and polite. The food was exquisite and beautifully displayed. But what I loved the most was the open kitchen concept. It was an inviting atmosphere that allowed us to see the sheer delight and enjoyment on the faces of the chefs as they perfected their art. Love, love, love this place!

Great small plates selection and vibe. All for ordered was delicious. Great for sharing - ordered a variety of dishes all were good. Service was quite slow - took a while to take drinks order and then food and not too attentive. Vibe and decor of the place was nice. Good place for small plate / sharer food.

we had an excellent evening in this restaurant, the cocktails, the atmosphere, the service in particular a young blonde woman and the dishes were tasty

Excellent restaurant, with impeccable service and refined cuisine reminiscent of French gourmet restaurants. The price is absolutely right

Nice place with an attentive stuff and tasty cocktails. One of the best in my life. Food was great too: my favorites were bun with octopus and Buratta as a starter.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Kitchen at Holmes, and I must say the experience was nothing short of exceptional. While the food and ambiance were outstanding, it was the incredible staff, particularly Kush, who truly elevated our visit. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and frequently checked on us, adding a personal touch to the evening. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a spot where you’ll feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. Thanks to the amazing team for making our visit so memorable!

Nice restaurant. Hotel bar a good getaway spot amongst a busy locale

Went for drinks and had The Best French 75! 🥂

Excellent service, the coffee was superb and the eggs Benedict was PERFECT! Can't wait to go back!

Delicious food. Pricey for what you get, especially when you're getting nickel and dimed for a bread basket (£5.50) to accompany starters that should come with it (e.g., burrata) and bottled water. We had to ask several times for the waiter's attention to get our bill.

We booked here easily through their website and even amended the time online with no trouble. A very welcoming entrance and luxurious feel when entering. The staff are super friendly, coats were taken and hung up and they had the right balance of attentiveness to provide excellent service. The drinks came quickly and so did the food. Very good food but for me just a little too small a portion. We had dessert which was sublime. They do add a service charge but was worth it.

Very good place, and Delicious food , I will be back😋

A delight. Friendly staff, good food. While YMMV, I found it an oasis in London

An excellent hotel with an excellent location. I recommend it, but you must take a large room because the rooms are quite small

I have travelled the world visiting 90 plus countries, dined at MICHELIN restaurants, stayed in luxury hotels but I have never paid £5.50 for a 200ml tiny bottle of Diet Coke plus service charge. This was almost the same price as my dinner at a restaurant opposite where I had a whole pizza! This is daylight robbery. I understand if it was a cocktail or a bigger size, but 200ml? I was not shown a menu. To top it off, I had to wait ages to be served. When I wrote to them after, I was offered a complimentary drink on return. I declined this offer as I will be abroad and unable to come back. I asked for a refund instead, but I was ignored despite numerous emails! This is how they treat customers with no care. It is unfair to charge customers so much for a tiny bottle of Diet Coke and then add service charge for bad service. This is really not great. To top if off, they ignore customers when they complain. No concern for guests. It is a nice venue but that is all.

Delighted with the experience. We received magnificent service from our waiter, Lorenzo! Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic food and great service ! Our waiter Lorenzo was the kindest and most attentive ! Would come here again !

Was a date night and it was a catfish completely disappointed had more fun taking pictures of myself escaped quickly

Food was great, the service was impeccable

Top place to meet people good service and decent food

The ambience and atmosphere were great! Food was again top notch! Amazing staff and particularly Ms. Kanya was the best with her warm smile and an awesome service! Loved the cocktails by the Master of mixologist Mr. Ruban.. He is a charming guy worth of the praise. His cocktails and drinks are perfect every single time! Overall, it’s one of the best restaurants in London which I would highly recommend.

I have recently been to the new Sherlock Holmes hotel after a long time. I appreciated the new interior design and menu. In particular, I got the chance to taste the ricotta and truffle ravioli: I must say it was beyond delicious!! Moreover, Mr. Simone, the manager, was not only knowledgeable but also attentive during the service so that any guest could have a memorable experience at the Sherlock. I shall definitely return soon for more!

We had two meals at Kitchen At Holmes, going back a second time as we enjoyed it so much. A very stylish restaurant but still friendly and welcoming. Our very knowledgeable waiter, the lovely Costa, advised us on the small plates and the resulting meal was delicious. Thank you Costa! 💙

Great place for fine dining. Can be a bit slow on service but gives time to enjoy the experience. Highly rate: Charred aubergine, Yellow tail tiradito and Courgette spaghetti. Sea bass, Tender stem broccoli and strawberry delice Good : Hummus, beef carpaccio and Ravioli Ricotta and Affogato. Shame that they won't serve any bread or olive oil with the starters and small bites. Prices are above average and portions a tad tight.

Fabulous service, fabulous kitchen and absolutely amazzzing cocktails!!! Ruban is a master of mixology! It was the best Old Fashioned in the world ever. Thank you, Ruban 🩶 We are looking forward to see you again

We are back at our favourite bar! As always specifically making sure that the Man with a Master's Degree in mixology is there Mr Ruban! He has an infectious personality and a very warm character. You MUST come to this bar to meet Ruban and he will make your evening one to remember! Thanks again for looking after us Ruban and your "AAA Class service management" is always appreciated. Fantastic atmosphere and amazing drinks. Service is outstanding!!

Lovely food. Quite quiet when we were there (lunch) but attentive staff and tasty food.

Stylish spot of London. I am absolutely in love with this place. Fabulous atmosphere. Special thanks to the amazing Master of Mixology, Mr Ruban! He is a true mater of the bar and is an absolute delightfully kind person. Please come to visit this bar as you will not be disappointed!

We had a fantastic evening. Great food. we shared a big selection of appetizers, and every one had a main dish as well as a dessert. fantastic authentic tiramisu.

War nahe, bei unserem Hotel, sind wir hin gelaufen. Außen Restauration nicht genutzt, haben drinnen gesessen mit Blick auf die offene Küche. Ambiente, zeitgemäß und gut. Die Bedienung von sehr freundlich bis sehr langsam alles dabei, einer Kellnerin hätte man im Laufen die Schuhe besorgen können, Vom Essen her nichts auszusetzen, die Lasagne sehr mächtig, die frittierten Zucchini äußerst schmackhaft. Auch die Auberginen mit geschlagenem Feta Käse super lecker.

This is the perfect place for a quick affordable and high quality lunch or coffee meeting with an amazing atmosphere and pleasant staff in a central area in London. Been going here for years and it’s just really great value for money.

Very expensive for what it is. Give it a miss.

Lovely place with excellent service - really friendly staff - and very good food. A nice location on a busy street with a much bigger offering in terms of space, food and drinks than you'd expect. Cocktails are excellent (beekeeper!) and a quick drink here is worth it. Only drawback is that it tends to be more quiet, although I may have gone at the wrong time last couple of times. If being at a more quiet, less packed place is your thing, then you'll love it.

Loved this place.. just walked by and hungry and decided to give it a blind try. No prior knowledge, just fancied the menu outside: Amazing service, cold Champaign, succulent hake, so tasty. Service was just on point, courteous, exact, pleasant. Familiar and beavering kitchen staff. The floppies were devine, Eat tiramisu I have ever eaten, if this I what the restaurant is like we need to stay there.

Needed to write a review to thank Pariya who was beyond kind, lovely and so so helpful - I have an allergy and she checked all the ingredients/dishes for me so thoroughly! Highly recommend! She is amazing! (I went to the cafe not the restaurant but they are the same establishment, I think, just next to each other :) )

The service was really good, especially Kanya. Also, the food was excellent. I highly recommend the zucchini fritti and the lamp kofta.

The food was delicious and so was the coffee. The environment is very spacious and comfortable, and the decoration is elegant. Perfect for a quiet meal or gathering with friends.

The Holmes signature 'White Lasagne' is highly recommended.

A fantastic antipasti sharing plates spread including gorgeous octopus, Sicilian DOC red wine, delicious Sunday roast lunches and fab beautifully presented desserts coupled with pleasant service @kitchenatholmes !

Our stay at Holmes hotel was amazing from all sides. The hotel is impeccably nice and clean with a very good location. The food is excellent. We tried the Padron peppers, grilled aubergines, Linguine with Prawn, sirloin,…I mostly want to highlight the exceptional service offered by the staff, particularly by Costas and Silas at the restaurant.They are amazing individuals and they go above and beyond for the client to be happy and well served. Jean-Paul

A very nice restaurant and very friendly staff. The food is very tasty and reasonably priced for this area. However the service leaves much to be desired. There appeared to only be one waiter for the entire restaurant on a Friday night which led to a variety of problems. Our drink order was incorrect. The dips we ordered as starters arrived without bread. We were a party of 5 and when the mains were served one dish was brought and the others didn’t arrive for more than five minutes later. We asked for a wine list which was never brought. We had to ask repeatedly for water refills.

We had an excellent lunch at a comfortable table overlooking the bustling kitchen. The restaurant was modern and airy and the menu was varied and interesting, with many sharing dishes that the four of us took full advantage of. We enjoyed every minute and will certainly return in the future.

A great menu with lots of choice either sharing plates or mains . The food is impeccably presented & served by attentive staff . The standard of the food is very high & the hake dish I had was one of the best fish dishes I have had in a long time. Breakfast was lovely too - nice choice - great portions . Very attentive staff who ate very helpful when it comes to choosing your food !

Wonderful food -a very impressive menu with lots of choice for either sharing plates or full mains . breakfast was great with lots of choice with lovely food & very attentive service . We stayed for lunch & had several sharing plates & the Hake fish dish was the best I’ve had in ages - All dishes were impeccably presented & very very flavoursome .

Awesome dishes - we did sharing plates for lunch & everything was cooked to perfection-beautifully presented & served by attentive staff . Lovely atmosphere for lunch -very chilled & easy relaxed atmosphere in a lovely luxurious traditional hotel

We sat outside and soaked up the vibrancy that is London whilst enjoying the fabulous food and drinks of Kitchen at Holmes. Superb hospitality and delicious food made a lovely afternoon.

The attention of all the boys and girls who work there is excellent 😃

Worst excuse for an English breakfast I've ever had anywhere around the world. Next to zero bacon & what was served up was just fat, egg was uneditable & like rubber, baked beans were stale & congealed. No sausage, no butter but given sauerkraut??? And they still wanted payment for something that was inedible.

Called in for a Quick drink on the way to Wembley.

what a disputable night out with my friend, a lovely atmosphere as soon as i entered the premises and greeted by two lovely members of staff named costa and alex. they accommodated us to our table and described the food in the menu. I ordered a lamb kofce and a stake, both felt really fresh and cocked amazingly(big up the chef andrea). i would recommend coming here with anyone as its a great place to have a conversation with people

Expensive menu and tiny portions.

They placed us outside, took 20 minutes to have someone come take our order, then came to warn us this side of the terrasse is closing in 10…. Food was good, atmosphere is good, service is why I put that note

Ambiente ricercato, elegante e moderno Servizio eccellente Abbiamo condiviso quasi tutti gli antipasti del menù, davvero molto buoni soprattutto zucchini fritti e octopus Abbiamo proseguito con pasta: ravioli ripieni di ricotta serviti con burro e tartufo Linguine con granchio Lasagne in bianco, farcite con salsiccia con semi di finocchio e funghi Ho assaggiato tutte e tre le paste: cottura perfetta e piatti deliziosi Anche i dolci sono stati all’altezza degli altri piatti Ci torneremo sicuramente

The food was frensh and well prepared, but the portion is dispointing. We ordered the fish for two persons. On the menu, the dish includes fish, potatos and the salade. We were served only with the fish at the beginnig. After inquiry, the server bougt only the potatos. We resuired the dessert card after, but never arrived. I really wonder how could the restaurant justify the service charge.

Great restaurant with lots of sitting options and good service. Quality experience. Thank you.

The food was very well presented, we could see the passion and attention to details in cooking, and the food was great. Thank you so much for Kania, she made feel our experience even better. You will see if again. Thank you

Very elegant restaurant..exquisite food and top kitchen and dining staff..I recommend it

Very good attention, service and quality of products

One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in London. Great flavours, good portions and a wonderful service.

A relaxing haven from the noise and bustle of Baker Street. And it's always nice to get a full pot of tea, rather than just a cup.

Nice and compact menu with very tasty dishes. A bit on the pricey side due to being part of the hotel I guess. Service, a bit slow but very polite and attentive otherwise. Many thanks to Matteo for taking extra care of us! Would recommend for sure.

But if a downer that one of our party had her purse stolen in a relatively empty bar...

I came here for my birthday with my friends and it was an amazing atmosphere which was provided by Costa and his team. They looked after me and my friend and treated us with care and respect. The steak was cooked amazingly by chef Andrea. The lamb kofta was lovely and I don’t think you would find any lamb kofta better than here at the kitchen holmes

Holmes. A place where you feel home. When you arrive there ask for the great fish the make. By the way every food is delicious. I also recommend you to try the magnific cocktail (Mezchillin) made by the barman Ruben. He is a proper barman.

I had the raveoli, it was perfect wont find it anywhere better in london by chef andrea customer service was perfect atmosphere was perfect

I came here with my friends for a dinner, and as expected the quality of the food was immaculate and tasty. I definitely recommend coming here as a night out to a well kept and unique mediterranean restaurant. I was greeted by Costa and Alex, the service was amazing and i’m definitely coming back again.

Always amazing at The Kitchen. Quality food and drinks. Shout-out to Ruban who always welcomes us with a smile, has fantastic knowledge of the beverages and wows us with his attention to detail. Top service! Highly recommend this hidden gem in central.

Food was great but sizes of the food were small.

Lour waiter Lorenzo made our experience impeccable. He has an extremely uplifting energy and was incredibly helpful with any requests from the table. Thank you Lorenzo

Amazing bar, great atmosphere. Bar staff were really friendly and service was quick. If you want a good date spot for drinks this is it.

Excellent location, in central London. Elegant decor and great atmosphere. Food and drink all delicious

Normally a good place to have a business meeting & catch up. This time on a Thursday evening the service was slow & not quite up to the normal. Felt there was a shortage of staff. Hopefully it will get back to its high standards soon.

Eat like Sherlock! . Kitchen at Holmes situated near Baker street offers something for everyone but we went to try their Sunday menu. The food was delicious and I really enjoyed the Sherlock's pipe cocktail that arrives smoking and they even give you a hat to wear if you wish. . We had: Grilled octopus with potato and smoked paprika £18 Beef carpaccio with foie gras and black truffle £16 Aged Balsamic Beetroot Wellington £24 Lake District Farmer's Beef Rump £29.5 Truffle Cauliflower Cheese Tarte Noisette with Gianduja cream £9.5 Holmes Affogato £9.75 Sherlock's Pipe Cocktail £13 Irene's Scandal Cocktail £14 🚇Closest stations: Baker Street 🙌Overall rating: 8/10 💰Price: Sunday set menu (small plate, roast and dessert): 2 courses £33.50 3 courses £39.50

Great place and excellent service by Kostas, highly recommend!

Wonderful place for dinner! Food was great and vibes were great. Highly recommend!!

Lovely staff. Beautiful place. Great food and service. Lovely experience. We'll definitely be back! Thank you!

Great place to get a nice drink with your friends or family. The prices are very respectable. Great refurbishment also. Fully recommended!!

Worst experience I’ve ever had trying to book a table for my Auntie’s birthday. They insisted on a £30 deposit a head for a booking of 10, despite initially offering a reservation without a deposit. Typically they allow reservations for up to 8 people with no deposit at all. They dragged their feet so much over the course of a week in which it was very difficult to get in touch with them either by email or phone, with promised follow up contact never materialising unless I chased. I was more than happy to jump through all their hoops but was unsure whether we would necessarily spend £300+ judging by the menu, and my attempt to offer a slightly smaller deposit was just ignored by management. Never have I found it so difficult to get a business to accept my custom!

The food was good I recommend the half chicken, and thanks Ruban for the good service.

I have been visiting the kitchen at the Holmes’s for over 4 years and unfortunately it has had a notable fall from the high standards it once set. Most notably is the change in staff. I understand times change but what was once a genuinely warm and welcoming restaurant with personality headed up by a charismatic group of Italians has become a dull typical service with no personality and no reason to come back. The personal service offered by the previous staff is what kept people coming back and made the place feel alive. it has lost its spark. Secondly is the price increase. This restaurant for central London used to be excellent value for money but is now extremely over priced. Gone are the days of the sub £25 steak which came with chips to a £35 steak chips sold separately 🤦‍♂️With price increases of %30 and more for some dishes. The restaurant now doesn’t offer any value for money and I consider it over very overpriced. The beef carpaccio served with no salt, the romesco gone from the octopus and the fried squid coming with 4 tiny pieces left a lot to be desired. I actually used to order two carpaccio starters because they were that good and were an affordable £12 What a pity, even if I combined my Raddison vip discount with the %25 off in January i wouldn’t be back anytime soon.

Excellent food and service. Interior is well decorated.
