I don't know what has happened with Kafka but I would not choose to eat here anymore, I have been twice in the past couple of months (at other peoples request) and on the first occassion, I was astonished at how fast-food-like the food was, almost everything was deep fried and it was just not of the standard that I had thought it was in the past. It is going downhill on atmosphere too, I think this is probably b/c of the food but it used to be jammers here but now its changed. On my last visit I decided to go for something non-deep fried and it was ok but I think they need to get a new chef, some new recipes and fresh healthy food that show some level of thought and it could revive itself. Sorry Kafka but it's not working for me anymore.

I met friends here for a late lunch on Saturday and got a nice seat by the window - great for watching the world go by. I had an omelette while my friends had various toasted ciabattas with chips. Everything was delicious!! The service was excellent - our waitress was so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Visited restaurant for the first time with a party of ten for friends 30th. Great atmoshere with cool lighting and clean serfaces. Got here at 7.00 and place soon fillled up to capacity. Lovely prosecco to start that friend had organized, and soon got to order six starters which were more than enough for all: sweet chillie chicken wings with hints of fresh coriander & lime juice, brushetta with buffalo mozzarella, ine nuts and overnite tomatoes & home made prawn and vegetable spring rolls. For mains I had the lamb with aubergine and mint cous cous, cooked to perfection and the partner had fish of the day which was panseared seabream with celiriac mash and roasted wild mushrooms, lemon and basil oil dressing, it was divine. Dessert was plum and hazelnut tart for me and poached pear in red wine with mixed berry compote and vanilla bean icecream for Madame. Yummy. Illy cofffee and wine was a great Cotes du Venteaux reccomended by server, who together with his colleague was attentive but not over powering. Overall a really pleasent evening and not to expensive, 37.50 for three courses (allthough we shared starters and only had five desserts), but 2 bottles of prosecco and four of wine. Well reccomended and will be back, soon I hope.
