Idlewild
-
-
This artistically designed joint attracts a well-turned-out crowd looking for a bit more of a night out than most of the other local drinking holes can provide. There's quite a buzz here at weekends, particularly in the upstairs cocktail lounge. Inspired by the aristocratic high fashions of the 1920s, with an injection of contemporary cool and original touches, such as the collection of framed butterflies and moths on the staircase wall, this restaurant-pub is stylish without being poncey. There's a good wine list, a standard selection of well-prepared cocktails and a few bottled and draught beers.

Well, I might not be a knight but I think I'm fun to be around and bet that I can make you laugh. That's at least something no? I love travelling...

Awesome awesome awesome!!! Great, drinks, tasty food, cute staff - what else can you ask for?!!??
Absolutely brilliant restaurant. On arrival the staff were very attentive and made sure we were seated within 5 minutes. Our drinks order was taken and the waiter readily gave us his recommendations. I had duck and my boyfriend had duck. Both dishes were presented very well and in very good time of the order being taken.
The atmosphere was warm and friendly. Idlewild is a good place for small and large groups. The staff were just fantastic at looking after us.
Such yummy yummy food!! There were so many amazing dishes to choose from and it all looks brilliant. Our table of four all ordered different things so we could try as much as possible - It was all so good. I think they are hiding another Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen!!
The waiters were all really nice to us and made us feel really special - Nothing was to much for them to do for us.
All in all - It was great and I'll be going back again!
This is such an amazing place to chill out with friends. It was so warm and welcoming, we just didn't leave! I have been in London for two years now and wouldn't necessarily recommend the younger crowd but for young professionals who want that stylish streak in the social time - this is definitely the place for it! They do food also but we didn't eat, it looked very good though - maybe next weekend!
