The Skinny Kitchen - Restaurant Islington Reviews Summary

Management and Staff

Pros:

• "Management was absolutely fantastic, both Steph and Ben were easygoing and accommodating."
• "Upon arrival we were greeted by a lovely young lady who had the prettiest smile and welcoming energy."
• "The staff assigned to our brunch were phenomenal, especially Belinda who was so polite and helpful throughout."
• "Every member of staff that I dealt with, from booking to the event, were amazing! So caring and wonderful."

Cons:

• "One of my party was taken outside by Jason the security. She was told that she was too drunk to drink anymore alcohol even though other members of staff didn’t agree with this."
• "We spoke to Ben the manager on our way out who was obscenely rude and disrespectful."
• "The service was okay, but it was a full room, so they could probably do with some more staff."
• "Service - some servers were incredibly grumpy, other ones, lovely."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Thoroughly enjoyed the food, drinks and atmosphere."
• "The food was amazing, tasty, not oily at all! I could’ve eaten that burger 10x over."
• "Really impressed with Skinny Kitchen! The food was (surprisingly) really good - I ordered the beetroot salad and mushroom gnocchi, both absolutely lovely."
• "Food was yummy. Satay chicken was great."

Cons:

• "As a vegetarian it's rare to me that the food I have supersedes that of meat eaters but my three friends ordered the chicken gyros and all three of them struggled with the chicken thigh being fatty, chewy and having bones."
• "My main dinner was taken away before I even finished it."
• "Food was delicious! However service was rushed and we were only served 2 drinks in 2 hours despite asking for more drinks as we’d paid for unlimited."
• "The food was not good, all my friends were sober by the end of the bottomless as all the drinks were diluted even the Prosecco didn’t taste good."

Atmosphere and Entertainment

Pros:

• "We didn't think or realise to let them know a couple of our party couldn't attend due to illness but make sure you do ahead of time as you will be charged for them."
• "Instagram heaven, stunning interior, elevated dishes, mouthwatering cocktails, DJ sets & live music - a night out not to be missed."
• "Had the best early evening bottomless brunch here last night with two of my friends. Food was really nice, was not expecting much as you usually go for drinks but it was lovely."
• "Great atmosphere and service. Food was good - particularly the halloumi skewers and the chocolate fondant."

Cons:

• "The entertainment was a little underwhelming too. We'd hoped the dancers would mingle with the dining and we'd be able to appreciate them a bit more."
• "The atmosphere, DJ, and entertainment were really great, so overall, I enjoyed my afternoon! But when we got there, they told us the table is reserved for 3 hours, and it was only bottomless for 1.5 hours."
• "Loved it! First time here. Was celebrating a good friend's 40th Birthday. Only downside was my friend and other parties not being allowed their birthday/hen sashes, badges or any other fancy dress attire."
• "This was the most horrendous brunch I have ever been to. From the service to the customer service to the food to the entertainment, it was all awful."
