Beach Blanket Babylon (Notting Hill)

• Great place with amazing atmosphere
• I took the Cripsy Duck (it was gluten free) and loved my dish too
• Beach Blanket Babylon is one of best restaurants and bars located in the Nothing Hill area
• The cuisine is mostly British and European
• Went there with my best friend and I remembered that had Fillet Steak with a mash potates as a side and my friends had a Pasta Risotto with Wild Mushrooms and parmesan
• The prices were a bit higher
• The bartender is one of a kind
• I absolutely love Beach Blanket Babylon (Notting Hill) the decoration is beautiful it's such a quirky restaurants the cocktail menu is insane so many choices you don't know what to choose and the food is cooked to perfection
• I immediately fell in love with the ambience
• We were seated next to the fireplace and it was perfect with the vintage cellar like atmosphere
• The service was impeccable and the food was great
• The service was poor throughout
• So might go back for drinks in what is a lovely looking place
• When Notting Hill gate carnival was a institution and sleeping was only aload twice a month
• I might find someone I know in the Chapel where we got married for the second time with my Dear Wife
• Notting Hill is the place to be
• Beach Blanket Babylon is just round the corner from the primary coloured Portobello road
• I visited for a catch up with two of my favourites
• The interior is pretty exciting to say the least
• One part of the bar looks very Gaudi inspired with mosaic mirrors swirling about the place
• This location is just stunning
• We went there for my birthday and we were just in front of the fire (even if it was september)
• The interior design are amazing the first impression is absolutely perfect
• The service unfortunately is really average they bring to us first the entrance and then the drinks
• The Music was to loud in the restaurant and the price for the meal was expensive compare to other restaurant and about what they offer
• The bill came with 12.5% service charge which is usual around London
• Additional tips are usually offered in cash if service is excellent
• I spoke with management who said that it is their policy to allow guests the opportunity to pay additional service if they like it is the customer's choice
• Upon arrival we were seen to by reception and then led down to the 'caves' of the restuarant
• Air conditioning was very low for 30+ celcious weather
• Only complaint here is that my wifes meal of Mushroom risotto was burning hot
• That she had to wait before trying it again by which point I had already half way finished with my own dish
• I thought I'd indulge ourselves with dessert to share between ourselves
• Then dessert arrived and the size was quite large with custard in a small container to pour ourselves
• She thought that it was from vanilla pods that they may have used but ntoiced that it wasn't consistant
• Then looked into the apple pie dish and on the spoon was another part
• Keep in mind this was in the very dimly lit "
• Very apparent that the two parts was the body(husk and legs) and the head
• Called his Manager who apologised and said that our meal was complimentary
• At this point we are feeling nauseated and angry
• He then said that he'll contact us(He didin't) all the while more customers were continuing eating their contaminated food and more were coming in
• I would not have expected such service and cleanlinness issues with such a well known 'posh' restuarant in Nottinghill
• This restaurant is perfect for date night
• I liked a lot the decoration and the place is very fancy and adorable
• Entering BBB is an experience in itself
• I started my night with drinks at the bars in front of one of the fireplaces with a friend of mine
• My chosen poison was a magic memory
• This drink is sweet to the tongue with a gin kick at the end
• If you love a sweet gin cocktail then this is a must have
• We headed to a secluded spot upstairs with our own personal waiter
• Alongside the prawn which is completely saturated in the bisque
• The Caviar is a small portion
• That did not deter from the dish as the beef was well seasoned and the truffle oil made the beef carpaccio a little dish of luxury
• The potatoes are very sweet but not too milky
• You will love the fillet as it is very succulent and well seasoned
• The wild mushrooms are a little on the tangy side but are paired well with the beef
• The staff are friendly and very accommodating with quick service and beautifully presented food
• Accommodating staff with a laid back home feel
