I have never had a dining experience quite like the one I had at Winebar Kensington. Chef Phil and staff made me feel so welcome in the restaurant. It truly is the most inviting environment. I have dietary restrictions and Chef made me a personal experience based on those. Chef Phil's creations were not only well-prepared and thought out but had beautiful presentation and had flavors I had never experienced before. There was a wide combination of dishes, yet all the elements came together to create this innovative experience that I was lucky enough to have. Also I had the best chantilly cream I have ever had the pleasure of tasting.
I cannot say enough good things about Wine Bar. This is a place that my friends and I frequent. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and have great wine knowledge. If you aren't sure what you would like to pair with your food they have your back. We leave our wine choices to them every time and are never disappointed. Sunday is half price bottles of wine which is a big bonus! The food in excellent every single time and menu items change often so you always have something new to try when you visit. They have a beautiful patio to sit on, or you can sit inside at a table or at the bar which surrounds the kitchen so you can interact with the chef and watch the delicious food being prepared! 10/10 recommend to add to you list, you won't regret it.
We loved it! If you are looking for a nice place to enjoy a bottle of wine - you should come here. Cosy place, with good music, smiling staff, a glass of sparkling rose and cheese plate… and let the whole world wait. P.S. Could you add a pecorino tartufo cheese option, please? It would be a small wish of mine.🤤
We decided to stop in here for a glass or two of wine before our dinner. The atmosphere promotes comfortable lounging while still being classy. The wine list felt a bit short for being a wine bar, but after we tried a glass of Cremant and a glass of Soave, we came to the conclusion that they must curate the wines to ensure they offer a few of the finest wines rather than a lot of fluff that might not pass muster. The complimentary bread with lime and black pepper butter was a welcome snack while we savoured our wine. Although we didn't try anything from the food menu, I'm sure we would on our next outing there. The service was great and everyone was so kind. We could definitely see ourselves dropping by for a glass of wine any time we are in the area.
Service was great and the ambience at Wine bar is fantastic for a date night. Food on the other hand was quite disappointing. The duck risotto was extremely salty, and the carbonara was very dry with overcooked bucatini. While it's a nice cozy spot for a few drinks, I would not recommend coming here for the food.
