Apero Restaurant & Bar - (Near Kensington and Chelsea, london)

4 /5 Quasar: After trying disappointing breakfast places in the surrounding area (Farm Girl comes to mind) none of which took cash, opted to have breakfast at The Ampersand hotels restaurant because it did take cash (what a novelty) and i did not have to go out in the cold lookind for a subpar experience. The positive experience has changed my #1 rule of not eating at the same place I am staying in. Cozy atmosphere, with great offerings that covered the gamut, including gluten free. The Scottish salmon with scrambled eggs was outstanding, as were the homemade ricotta pancakes covered with berries, and the granola with same ( bear in mind I did not have all on the same day!). The service was uneven as the staff changed frequently all with different levels of training. After coming in for four days in a row by myself,I was only acknowledged by the bartender who remembered what kind of tea I liked. The servers looked at me like they had never seen me before. I came back two days after checking out, with a friend newly arrived and after asking if we could sit in their small private nook, the same server I had had two days before answered curtly that we could but, we would be asked to move if a larger contingent arrived (it was already 9:30 am, the place was almost empty and the nook would have bursted if a party of four had been ushered in). Not the most cordial welcome for anyone That cold kurffufle aside, I enjoyed everything I tried from their menu.

3 /5 Donna Fernandes: I happened upon this place as I was trying to escape the downpour. It was a nice however the food was just ok. I didnt like enjoy the squid broth they served as part of the 3 course lunch menu, however, the fish was tastier. The panna cotta and raspberry was delicious!

5 /5 Ellen: Had the three course sharing set menu and it was absolutely delicious. Every meal that came out had great flavour bringing out richness of tiramisù against the starting freshness of the grilled peppers. I very much reccomend the steak which was cooked to perfection. The place has a lovely atmosphere and decor set up which makes for a good environment for a conversation over food. The staff are very attentive to your needs and food comes relatively fast. Overall would definitely reccomend checking it out.

5 /5 Michelle Cannell: Amazing food. Children really enjoyed their dinosaurs experience. Especially the dino egg. Also they offered more food to the children free of charged. They were very accommodating as I booked the wrong date for a table and still offered the 25% discount.

5 /5 Robert Lee: Lovely bar and restaurant. Visited after a trip to the Natural History museum. We had cocktails followed by the set lunch. Reasonable prices, for London. Only slight negative, the jus served with the pork belly was very salty. I did inform them, but after Id eaten.
