Sonny's Kitchen - London

So bad! Please do not waste your money on this restaurant! The staff are rude and cold the food is poor and when we were served a dish with out-of-date cream the plate was just removed with no apology or explanation. The best word to describe this restaurant is PATHETIC

Sonny’s is an institution in Barnes, so much so that locals use it as a landmark. Everywhere in the village, people refer to other places as being ‘ on the same side as Sonny’s’ or ‘around the corner from Sonny’s’. Opposite the famous Olympic Studios, where so many of the greats, such as the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who and Queen have recorded their music, it’s been there for years and years in various different guises. In fact, some years ago I saw Mick Jagger having Sunday Lunch there with all of his children. Another time, we bumped into ex Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and his beautiful wife Miriam eating dinner. It’s that sort of place, calm, discreet and popular with the local clientele who don’t make a fuss about well-known faces. Back then, it was a fine dining restaurant called just Sonny’s, but a few years ago, with culinary competition rising in the area, it was re-branded into a slightly more casual brasserie style establishment with a shorter menu, now called Sonny’s Kitchen.

Great neighbourhood restaurantMenu revamped by new head chef Tommy Boland (from 2 star The Square) with input from Phil Howard.

Sonny's many professional reviews descibe it as a well-established, well-loved locals' restaurant in Barnes.
