"My partner treated me to a birthday lunch at Kipferl as we both love Käsespätzle which is a dish popular in his hometown of Voralberg in Austria. It is a dish we know well and eat often when there. Their menu promised the cheese was from Voralberg and we had high expectations for an authentic dish given this restaurant is meant to be authentically Austrian! Upon arriving we were seated quickly and ordered our meal in good time. We both ordered: käsespätzle and Kartoffel salat (Potato salad). My partner also ordered a soup of the day. Both of us had had a very light breakfast and were excited to enjoy one of our fave dishes again. The soup was watery and tasteless, made edible only by the sourdough bread. On reflection I wish we had ordered as we went along ... as this was a sure signal of the poor quality food emerging from the kitchen! When the Käsespätzle arrived the distinct cheese aroma was missing... first sign it was not what was promised. OMG! this was the WORST Käsespätzle EVER! Käsespätzle is made using four types of cheese (Käse) from the area of Voralberg This cheese is unique to Voralberg and the dish CANNOT be made without it! Without it the flavour and strongly distinct smell are missing. Whatever type of cheese they used it was definitely not the specific cheeses required for this dish The spätzle was disgusting. All you could taste was egg! The texture was wrong... it is meant to be small well formed kernels of spätzle dough instead it was soft and almost mashed... In no way did it resembled what we always eat when visiting Voralberg. The flavour, aroma and presentation was completely WRONG. The Kartoffel (potato) salad was just as awful too. Massive rounds of potato swimming in dressing. This is such a wonderful dish when made correctly... sadly this was my WORST birthday meal EVER! We were both incredibly disappointed esp. as several years ago we had tried Kipferl in Wes London (now closed) and the Käsespätzle was editle then. Clearly the chef doesn't know how to make this dish or just can't be bothered! We CANNOT recommend Kipferl as what they promise on their menu in terms of Käsespätzle is definitely NOT what it should be, not worth the price and a rip off. We were so disappointed that we ended up not having a pudding/cake and took our business elsewhere to L'Etro in London where the cakes were excellent and where I could have had a great birthday meal with my partner.. .incredibly disappointing!"

"pizza was tasty what I suspect is the most important. I had a black carnitas especially with jalapeños and black beans, which was tasteful and on a thick teig base, which I like decor is bright and airy, quite removed back, but still a warm absent in the cold industry feel many places go for. on Sunday evening we were in so little atmosphere to speak as it is a great room to fill but the service left the place down and made the experience strange and down right awkward to time. when we entered a co-worker member, welcomed us from behind the bar, and shamefully sted in the general direction of some empty tables, when we do not have difficulty after a table for after a few intimidating interactions with him, including twice forgetting our ordering pizza) became clear, he was either totally unsuitable to serve the public or possibly drunk. I am convinced that it was the latter, an opinion that strengthened when the wrong pizza arrived for me. we spent the rest of the meal to avoid eye contact, hoping to avoid more unpleasant quiet. the imprint unprofessional worker was not supported by a group that drinks in the restaurant that would occasionally wander into the kitchen or the personal areas. I had great hopes for this risk at a seemingly cursed location and hope that problems will be excluded and succeed. However, if our experience indicates the standards set, pizza west can have even less time than the previous incarnations of bars/restaurants in this room. with so many other options near me I will not be pushed back."
