When I visited Velvet Bar. I was expecting extraordinary service and an enjoyable atmosphere. The cocktail were absolutely great and service was impeccable. However, I was disappointed to find that the staff were constantly speaking in a foreign language among themself. It's a shame to go to places that offer top-notch service but lack the vibrant and inclusive vibe that makes London so special.

We came here for some post dinner drinks. Staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. There was live music - which wasn’t too loud - and was pleasant in the background. Other tables were served a selection of ‘nibbles’ with their drinks. We weren’t, but when we asked they brought some over - there were very generous bowls of olives, seaweed crisps (I think) and smoked almonds. There is a £5 cover charge after 9.00pm.

Another fabulous evening spent at Velvet in the Corinthia Hotel. Christian Maspes, the bar manager, has a keen eye for detail and keeps everything looking spotless and running smoothly. The cocktails are sublime with the Icon as my current favourite and all expertly made by Luca Cicalese, the head mixologist. We've had cocktails in lots of places in London but we always come back here for the best ones. They also had a trio playing called Victoria and the Foxes who played and sung some wonderful music which made the whole evening an experience to remember.

We love the Velvet Bar at the Corinthia Hotel. The décor is stylish and the cocktails are excellent. The service is also very good, in particular, Guiseppe really stood out with his friendly manner and excellent attention to detail. They also have live music from 9pm - 12am.

We popped in for a pre dinner drink. The welcome was quite officious, but once we were seated, the waiters were very friendly. It has a great vibe, the drinks and nibbles were good. Nice spot for a treat!

I used to take my staff to this bar many times when it was called The Bassoon Lounge. The drinks are pricey but every once in a while it is nice to treat yourself. I organised a group to have a drink there before the opening of the National Portrait Gallery. We took two tables and ordered drinks only. Upon the evening ending they insisted I could not divide the bill up. I was something like £800. They were insistent and rude. They time they spent arguing at the table they could have resolved the situation. Ruined my experience and I will not go back.

We visited Velvet for drinks on a Saturday afternoon two cocktails was £40 not bad for the quality of drink and the surroundings, I had the Bee's Knees which I would recommend.

Ahora es Jamie's Italian a menos que lo hizo dentro de los últimos 10 días. Estaba a corta distancia a pie de nuestro hotel, Kensington cerca. Lo elegimos porque tenía mesas al aire libre. Simplemente no es usado para ir hasta el bar para pedir comida, pero supongo que eso es un 'pub' cosa? Tenía un Perroni (no estoy seguro de ortografía) cerveza y la corva de jamón, puerros y zanahoria tarta con guisantes mashers y se llenaba, cebollas y calabacín. Muy bueno. No vi una falta de buen servicio o personal antipático. Estaba lleno de un montón de gente, siempre es una buena señal. Era más agradable sentarse fuera que dentro.

Beautiful Italian style latte. Served promptly and without fuss and / or upselling. As a visitor to the city, this was a revelation (or should I say ‘Ravello-ation’).

Gracias por la encantadora tarde. El té de la tarde era realmente agradable y agradable. Sin embargo, al entrar en el restaurante, nos llevaron a sentarnos donde ya había seis personas sentadas y todos estaríamos realmente aplastados sentados entre ellos sin privacidad para hablar, ya que todos habríamos estado hablando entre nosotros. Pedimos si había otros asientos y luego nos sentamos en la terraza donde había muchos asientos. Luego nos dejaron con un menú por la camarera, pero no hay explicación de la reserva que habíamos hecho y lo que deberíamos estar mirando. Un camarero vino 5 minutos después para decir si estábamos listos, y fue entonces cuando le pedí al camarero que confirmara para qué estábamos reservados y confirmara el menú. Tanto la camarera y el camarero que nos sirvieron y nos sentaron no parecían estar interesados y no mostraron servicio al cliente, lo que es una gran pena, así que no es realmente un comienzo agradable para el té de la tarde que había reservado. Mientras tomábamos el té de la tarde, otras dos camareras vinieron a ver si todo estaba bien y si necesitábamos algo, Ambas mostraron tanto entusiasmo e interés que fue una sensación tan agradable y es una pena que no obtuvimos ese servicio cuando entramos, nos sentamos y nos sirvieron.

Llamé al pasar para tomar un café y un almuerzo. Muy decepcionado de que no hubiera opciones sin gluten para mi esposa, ni siquiera la sopa (que era muy sabrosa). Tampoco pan sin gluten, por lo que ni siquiera podía comer un sándwich. Todo lo que podía tener era una ensalada de frutas preenvasada. Muy mala revisión como resultado en este día y época en que todos estos establecimientos deberían ser adecuadamente conscientes de las alergias y satisfacer diversas necesidades. ¡No es ciencia de cohetes amigos! !

En pub som jag alltid trillar in på när jag har vägarna förbi. Mix av turister och Londonbor. Inget speciellt med puben i sig men de är alltid snabba på att servera.
