Penelope's: Reviews & Ratings
Great atmosphere. Staff was very friendly and great at providing a welcoming place. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was sophisticated yet relaxed, creating a perfect ambiance for a special occasion.
Food was BOMB!!!!!!! We tried a set course meal- serving time was super quick and vibes were immaculate! :) James and Alice were lovely and super attentive throughout the night! Theres also a really cute rooftop bar as well with a nice view- wish we could've stayed longer (hopefully when it's much warmer!)
Stunning interior, great food and fabulous service! Really enjoyed our meal here- we heard the Roasted Aubergine and Baklava Cheesecake are the most popular dishes here so we had to try it and didn’t disappoint! Must visit on a Saturday night where the party begins with a DJ and live sax performance Thank you Raj for being such a top tier host!
Beautiful place with a wonderful atmosphere. Very close to a few theatres, so very good to have a pre-theatre menu there which is delicious.
The restaurant had a great atmosphere and the server (Alice) was also really warm and friendly. There was a good mixture of food on the menu and all was presented well, making great photos!
Fabulous interior and tasty food. The atmosphere is great and the vibe is relaxing. The service was amazing. We loved Raj’s service and he made us feel special.
Amazing experience from start to finish, Alice and Raju delivered an excellent service and made us feel welcome. The food was great, from the starters up until the dessert. Great wine and a nice rooftop bar with an amazing view.
Beautiful restaurant, great menu and lovely staff. My friend was gluten and dairy free, our waiter was so knowledgable of the menu, and broke down exactly what my friend could and couldn’t have - we felt reassured and all the food was amazing. It was also her birthday and they went above and beyond to make it special. Thank you!
