Dinner at Kettner's - 11th of May 2013

I went to an evening show case at Kettner's a few weeks ago with some colleagues where we got to view the various private dining/conference rooms that they offer whilst sipping champagne and eating canapes.
There was also a draw at the end of the evening where MY business card was pulled out of the ice bucket and i was the lucky winner of a £100 voucher valid at Kettner's. Yay! :-)

So, i quickly booked myself and hubby in for dinner to spend my voucher.

We arrived at 8pm and the bar and restaurant was really busy and had a great atmosphere. Got a cosy table for 2 and started off with a cocktail (St Germains fizz - elderflower, raspberry & prosecco)

For starters i had a "Beetroot and Gin cured salmon with lime creme fraiche" which was light and nice. Karim had the "Steamed mussels" which he enjoyed very much.

For mains we went for the steaks, i had the Rib-eye (8 oz) and he had the Sirloin (10 oz). Some chips, salad and steamed vegetables on the side and bearnaise sauce.
Both steaks were perfectly medium and very tender.

For dessert i had the "Chocolate bomb" which consisted of a chocolate shell filled with a milk chocolate mousse, salted caramel and cream. It looked great and was nice but a bit sweet for my taste.

Karim had a "bailey's and coconut tart" which i tried and it was very good.

Kettner's is a nice little spot for a meal, a lot of people come here pre/post theatre for drinks and/or dinner and a lot of groups out for dinner. It has got a great atmosphere and has a brasserie feel to it. It is not fine dining but it is a great spot.


 

Kettners & Sex in the city 2

So last Friday was the opening day for SATC 2! It is always good to have an excuse to get the girls together so this time we decided to have an evening out with dinner and drinks prior to watching SATC 2.

I booked Kettners in Soho which was refurbished last year. I really like the kitch but stylish interior and i thought it was perfect for a girly get together. It was 7 of us in total and we had a lovely table in the middle of the room with beautiful candles on it.

Service was great and friendly which is a bonus! Food was good and everybody enjoyed themselves. I had mozzarella and chargrilled vegetables with a lemon oil as a starter (not bad but slightly bland) and Seabass with summer vegetables as a main which was very good. I have however noticed that i seem to have seabass everytime i go out so i will try to have something different next time - promise.

.. and what about SATC 2? Well, we all really enjoyed the movie - pure entertainment!
