Hemingways Eden Residence

They are lucky that you aren't able to give a negative rating. The service we received at the restaurant would have been appalling had it happened in KFC or Burger king, let alone in one of the most expensive restaurants in Nairobi. They had a total of 1 waitress in the entire restaurant, who tried her absolute best. However, with around 25 customers in the entire restaurant it just wasn't enough. We were a table of 8, so not exactly a huge table. We were seated where we ordered after about 30minutes. The starters took over 45minutes to arrive. The mains from when the starters were removed took over 1 hour and 10minutes. Had we not been with friends, we'd have gotten up and left the service was that bad. The food that arrived, was presented well, but lacked any form of flavour or seasoning, the meat was as tough as a boot and to top it off, from the first main arriving to the last was over 15 minutes. This resulted in half of the day finishing there meal before others had even received it. The place is too focused on delivering the food with a a silver lid, than getting it to your table efficiently. The only save and grace of the entire evening, was that we were with friends and had good company, but the restaurant itself I wouldn't recommend it to my nemesis. If I was involved in Hemmingway's, I'd look to cut ties with anyone involved in this operation. For one of the biggest hospitality companies in the world the service of this restaurant was the WORST experience I have ever had eating anywhere in the world.

Absolutely exceptional stay! Unique home with a fascinating story and art! Tucked in the trees of Karen, you feel like you have escaped to the woods. The property is beautiful, and the staff are just exceptional! The restaurant has tremendous food and a great bar. And is wonderful to have sun-downders at overlooking the water.

Our experience was so amazing! The best hospitality that I’ve had in my visit from California to Africa. Sophy was so great and all of us really enjoyed our time. Honestly would recommend anyone to dine here. 100000/10!!

We came for an end year sundowner and dinner. The drinks, food and service were very good. We were served by James who gave great food and drink recommendations and was extremely polite and attentive. He's a good brand ambassador for the Hemingways Collection.

Everything was lovely. We had a family dinner here and we couldn't fault a single thing. Food was up to par, Sophie was the best - she took care of us and made sure we were having a good time. Ambience is calm and intimate, just perfect. We'll definitely be coming back and staying a bit longer this time around.

We've been here before and it's always such a great experience. The grounds are great the food was amazing. The staff were amazing anf I'd highly recommended. Book a reservation so that you don't miss a seat.

James our several was great. He knew the full menu, great suggestions on the wine list and desserts. He was very friendly. We enjoyed the service.
