Food: I had the prawn risotto which was perfectly cheesy with an excellent fluffy texture 9/10. The prawn itself was good nothing out of the ordinary.

The food speaks for itself- Arincini and pasta dishes excite the palate, and larger meatier dishes satiate the appetites of the more carnivorous members of the family. The ambiance of the cellar is bang on- friendly, family run wine bistro, served with excellent food- needed to keep locals coming back. Would strongly recommend the often overbooked Chelsea cellar, for any lover of Italian food. Unpretentious, reasonably priced, one would be hard pushed to find better bang for your buck in London.

The ability to do it yourself and sample as many as you'd like (at a small cost) or just buy outright - without having to queue - is genius! Why don't more of these places exist?!?! On a happier note, they're opening up a new location near Soho in a few weeks time. I'm hoping it's slightly a bigger space but retains it's comfortable, laid back vibe. And that the staff are just as cool as the ones at this location. This place is just - absolutely lovely!

Finally getting out to explore our new neighborhood beyond our local, we dined at the New Moon last…read moreweekend. We loved it. It was the kind of Italian restaurant I always enjoy; authentic with house made pasta, friendly service and fresh menu that is very reasonably priced. As we were some of the early dinners, they let us choose our table. Once seated we were presented with olives and freshly made foccacia to snack on while we checked out the menu. It didn't take us long as we were both in the mood for pasta and I jump at the chance to get grilled squid whenever I see it. Shockingly, we both passed on the crab ravioli special that our server was raving about. While that sounded very good, we had no regrets with how we played it. -Fresh wild rocket with shaved parmesan and cherry tomatoes -Marinated grilled baby squid -Pappardelle con Salsiccia e Funghi-Homemade pasta with sausage, mushrooms and red onions -Tagliolini con Gamberi e Zucchine-Homemade pasta with prawns, courgettes, chilli and tomato sauce. -Tiramisu I had the pasta with sausage and it was excellent, as was my wife's prawn pasta. The tiramisu was a very good one. After settling up our inexpensive bill, we were offered comp limoncellos, grappa or sambuca. We passed, though that is a nice touch. I also got to work on my improving grasp of the Italian language with the staff and left feeling fairly confident that I could have done it all in Italian, if necessary. Pleasant service, cozy setting and a delectable menu that's well priced. We'll be back and often.

As of this review the establishment has been open for a little over four weeks. The service reflects this, the staff are charming, helpful and quite knowledgeable but they come across as a little nervous and slightly unsure of themselves at times. I can only imagine they will continue to improve from what is a solid start. The opening cocktails at the bar were decent, but not spectacular. The starter of scallops was a little too salty for my preferences, but otherwise great. Likewise the wild boar ravioli with chocolate flakes was innovative and worked very well. It's often said, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, that a place can be judged on its cheeseboard and toilets. Here they score very well. The cheeseboard had some classics such as mature Comté and a few more obscure offerings that catered for a wide variety of tastes. The cheeseboard looks sure to adapt to local preferences and the waiter eluded to the appearance of mature Gouda which is always a hit. If there was one easy win for them I would suggest really toning down the music. The songs catered for people of a certain age. Being of that age they were nostalgic and enjoyable - but often too loud. Let the food and the people do the talking - not Meredith Brooks. In short this place has a lot of potential, the location has always been great and offers good views over the river, the food is very good, as is the service. If you are comparing this to other nearby options such as the more expansive Marco Polo go to View 94, it's better in every respect. It's currently a little expensive for what they are, but the pricing is probably about right for where they will be.

Step inside, and you could be forgiven for wondering what just happened. One minute you're wandering down a quiet back-road in Battersea, overlooked by council houses and the odd school. The next, you're in a low-lit room, a bar ahead of you lined with upside-down wine glasses, candles and fairy lights, wooden chairs and tables to your left and right and small, elegant plants against the walls, in between scores of 1930s vintage pictures. If you've arrived after 8pm, the live music will be playing. Usually gypsy jazz, but often other types of recognisably 1930s jazz too: A piano, some vocals, a woodwind instrument.. It's easy to imagine yourself as an extra in the English Patient or whatever your favourite film set in the 1930s is. The service is friendly and quick. The food is a mixture of French, central European and north African, and pretty good too. The wine, beer and spirits list is basic but good enough to accompany the food or quaff slowly whilst enjoying the music. QueCumbar's website quotes local press as saying this place would be perfect for a first date. I'd go further than that. If your girl/guy has a just a hint of a musical soul or a smidgen of interest in the 1930s/40s, I'd say that taking them to QueCumbar will firmly tilt things in your favour! If they're big fans of the era or jazz... best get planning that second date! It's cheap too. Arrive before 8pm and the music is free. After 8pm and it's just £5. Food is in the £10-£15 range and drink is the usual. Overall? Well worth checking out, whether you're into jazz, 1930s vintage, or want to go somewhere original and unique.

We found this speakeasy on Yelp and didn't have reservations but got in anyways. The entry door is very subtle and once inside you need to plead your case to gain entry. Your case would be a mystery you are working to solve. We had a lot of fun with this part and our improv skills were put to the test. After being allowed through the secret entrance, you enter a 1930's prohibition style well decorated bar. All the staff are dressed the part and act the part. The drinks are in a casebook style booklet and have handwritten descriptions of the choices. We each had a couple of the drinks and really enjoyed them. The staff even comes around and mingles with you if you want. Most of the talk is the acting about your case or the general conversations of the Prohibition era. We really had fun here and were laughing a lot and found the experience very stimulating. I highly recommend going here when in London. It is a super fun experience.
