Z Kitchen — Restaurant in Lagos State

I was going to give Z Kitchen 4 and a half stars because the soufflé was not amazing and we had a cheese knife instead of a butter knife. But since I cannot do a half, they get the full 5 stars as the service was exceptional which is not something you say often about any restaurant.

When we walked into the empty restaurant, we were told the restaurant was fully booked. After a quick check, we were ushered to a cosyish table on the side between the main restaurant and the area screened off for more private events.

Orders taken promptly and food and drink came to the table in a decent space of time. Staff seemed genuinely concerned that we were having a good time. We ordered an additional carafe of wine which was forgotten but this was an small fly in the ointment of a very good service delivery.

As we left, the lady who saw us in offered to give us their card so we could call ahead and get better seating next time around.

From the car park the chap in charge helped us manoeuvre out of the park and stayed with us until we were free of the traffic. He had also directed is to drive into the compound to be dropped off when we arrived, as there was no space outside.

Service is everything and Z Kitchen seems to be trying to get it right. Oh yeah, the food was very good, had the calamari starter and the chicken schnitzel sandwich which comes with a...

Got there on a Tuesday evening as a party of 2, had a reservation and the concierge tried to seat us in the corridor by the entrance of the kitchen, (with its squeaky doors), The are had a slightly damp odor (despite the renovation) we asked to be re-seated and were after a slight back and forth.

Our server (Kehinde) was very attentive and recommended a delicious berry cocktail which was the highlight of the evening. That’s was 10/10

Food unfortunately was a total disappointment entree of buttermilk biscuits and chicken - a nice presentation but not tasty. Main course was the ostrich steak with red wine reduction and salmon which was the GREATEST disappointment with zero flavor😞. Dessert, cookies and home made icecream (how do you have ice chips in the icecream that’s meant to be cream??😵‍💫 The cookie was also too sugary.

Also didn’t help that in between the meal the concierge who didn’t want to re-seat us kept rudely pointing our way as if we had ruined her seating plans in the main dining area (which was ironically empty for most of our stay 😤).

All this for an almost 100k bill. Nah? No repeat visit.

The breadbasket, cocktail and server were the only redeeming features. Have to mention the Manager did listen to the complaints but for a bill like that, was...
