    Flourless Chocolate Cake
    Juvi G.

    I'm torn about giving this place the full 5 stars, as there just seems to be something missing, but given how good the food is, I have to give credit where it's due. The food is TOP-notch; there was nothing that I tried that I didn't like. First off, however, there are three different places all huddled in one place, so when you reserve the spot, make sure you pick the right one. This particular restaurant is on the second level and has a decent view of the street - if you're lucky enough to get a window seat. If not, no worries; it's not the worst-looking place to dine in. I was first struck by how good the cocktails are. Regardless of whether you're cup-o'- tea is tequila, bourbon, or champagne, they will have a twist that is perfect for you. I tried the very tequila-based SW3 cocktail with notes of rose and cucumber-mint; light, refreshing, and mouth-wateringly tart... it's one of the best I've had in a while. The second was the Bourbon Legend with a smooth mix of Maker's Mark Private Select, Woodford Reserve, and notes of cherry and lemon. Again, perfect balance. Foodwise, the menu is pretty seafood-heavy. However, the few meat dishes you'll find are good enough to satisfy the palate: chicken, beef, venison, and duck - all perfectly cooked and paired with the best and most complimentary ingredients. I can vouch for the Venison En Croute, which is 2 semi-cooked venison medallions embraced by a crispy shell, sitting on thinly-sliced beets steeped in sloe gin, surrounded by pickled blackberries and a creamy toasted pine-nut purée. For dessert, you have a modest selection of sorbets, exotic fruits, and a flourless chocolate cake filled with a rich chocolate ganache and paired with Crème Fraîche to cut through that decadent thickness. Is it pricey? Yes, if you're not used to spending almost a £100 in one full meal. But given the area it's in, not only is it not surprising, you could also definitely do worse. The downside: Service can get pretty slow after your main has been ordered, so be ready to wait a while, at some point during your meal.

    Had brunch here and it was amazing - no joke the best French toast I've ever had. The bacon on top really made it complete! The atmosphere is fun inside with lots of great plants and decor. Definitely a "scene" but no complaints about it since the service was friendly and food all lived up the the hype! Would be fun for brunch with a group of friends or someone's birthday!

    COLD STEAK! Poor service. Avoid

    11/07/20 Saturday eve, COLD STEAK, WAITRESS FORGOT MY SIDE, poor service I ordered a steak and a side for dinner, the Italian waitress forgot my side, served an almost cold steak (thats probably sitting in the kitchen) steak got cold by the time she delivered the side. I kept waiting for my side, tried to call someone but there's no one around, I wanted to stand but we were sitting on a round booth and I didn't wanna interrupt my friends eating so I was just there frustrated. When I finally reached the waitress she's like I'm sorry, well sorry is not enough, this mistakes do upset your stomach! COLD steak not worth £33 and on top she charged me service charge for the poor service. DISAPPOINTED

    This review is based on me going one time, only for drinks, and not sitting outside. So you can judge this review based on that... mmmmmk? This place is filled with silly people. You know, the type of Chelsean's who go to spend a lot of money and look good and judge everyone else? It's kind of funny because I feel like I'm starting to write a lot of judgy reviews, but it is my choice to come to these places. WHATEVER I'm getting distracted. I think I'm going through a cocktail phase where I think it's really fun to just try a bunch of cocktails. To be honest with you, all of the cocktails I tried (which was 8 because we are only friends with people who like to share ;) ) were absolutely delicious. And that's saying something!!! They were all really different and beautiful. I especially dug the lychee and rose martini. So, if you're into cocktails, and don't mind spending some dough (no they're not cheap, you're in Chelsea so you can't complain about the price), then come here! Not gonna lie, I'd love to check out this place during the day because everyone talks about sitting outside on their pretty patio.

    It a little pricey but what would you expect for the Kings road Chelsea Actually nice sitting outside in the winter and surprisingly have a reasonable and good kids menu Not bad little find at all Sit outside on a couch and enjoy the heather and atmosphere

    The Bluebird Legend drink!

    We went to Bluebird for my birthday and the occasion very enjoyable. The atmosphere is buzzy, the food is very good and the setting was intimate but social. Getting there half an hour early meant we had time for a drink at the bar. Great atmosphere, very dim lighting throughout and stylish interior. Ordered two very well made cocktails. Our table was first set right next to the till (and all the coming and going wait staff). We asked to move which involved setting up another table which was done quickly and without issue. The food: scallops, yellowfin tuna tartare and steak for two. The starters were delicious, mainly the scallop dish but the tuna was perfectly nice. Steak was stunning, we devoured it. The bottle of wine we ordered was outstanding and would go back just to have a glass. Would recommend for a trendy, delicious dinner option.

    Fried baby squid (£7.50)
    JA S.

    I had lunch here and really enjoyed it. The location and atmosphere were really pleasant as were the waitresses. I had the fried baby squid, chilli & lime for starter and the grilled yellowfin tuna with cauliflower tabbouleh for main. The fried squid was delectable! I would go back just to order two servings of this. The yellowfin tuna was also good. Great spot for lunch and would love to come back in warmer weather to sit outside with some drinks!

    My friend and I happened upon Bluebird while wondering around Chelsea. The café area is a perfect place to enjoy lunch on a sunny day. Seating outside includes couches, tables, or at the bar. Various flowers and greenery help give the place a garden party vibe. The menu for the cafe area is simple, but allows you to enjoy a lighter meal as well as a glass (or two) of beer or wine. For my meal, I chose the Croque Monsieur, a sandwich with ham and adorned with melted emmental cheese on top, paired with a salad and fries. The sandwhich was so good, especially after a morning of sightseeing that built up an appetite. Paired with a glass of one of their red wines, this was a perfect place to unwind and relax.

    The brain trust.

    I would have left fewer stars had the Yelp system allowed for it. I used to live in London years ago and this place used to be amazing. Now, a shell of its former self it's a train wreck. I got the pleasure of waiting 15 minutes for the person to show up to seat me in a wide open patio. Then, once seated, we waited 20 minutes to ever get a waiter to attend to us (of course I had to walk across the patio and nearly slide tackle him). Once we ordered a bottle of champaign and meats, we were promised a bucket of ice for the champaign (which I am still waiting for and not very hopeful now that we are 30 minutes into that empty promise). The low point probably came when the waitress with her blank stare seemed severely challenged with taking our water order. Apparently asking for bottled still water was severely beyond her capabilities. My suggestion, shop in their market and keep walking down the road....better meals lay ahead.

    Just went in for a drink at the bar. Very pretty botanical interior. We Ordered: 1. The Botanist: Sparkling cocktail with Gin, fresh passion fruit puree, rosemary, campari, watermelon syrup, topped with sparkling wine! This drink was delicious and i would get it again and again!

    Lovely little place located in charming Chelsea neighborhood in London. Great little salads and the lunch menu is good. A nice place to spot English celebs.

The restaurant is a bit away from major Tube stops but we were able to get thee easily by bus. The restaurant is absolutely delightful. It's underground so there's no reception during meal, which is great because we could just really focus on enjoying the meal. They served the customers as a team so everyone was extremely attentive. We ordered the 6 course chefs menu for £60 but it was more like 10 dishes if you include everything they brought out- including 2 smaller starters, 5 dishes, 2 dessert dishes and extra plate of home made pastries. The chef adjusts the dishes based on your requests, restrictions, and allergies. Everything was delicious, creative, and done to perfection. They also have a very good selection of wine by glasses or bottles. I definitely will recommend it for tourists or locals!!

    It was an unforgettable Christmas dinner at Wild Honey. The…read moreevening opened with an amuse-bouche of assorted bites--playful, refined, and a perfect invitation into what was to come. My starter, a classic duck terrine, kept the bar high: rich, expertly balanced, and beautifully presented. Then the meal truly took flight. The first main, the scallops, delivered a masterclass in flavor layering. Perfectly fresh and tender, they shimmered in a buttery sauce lifted by XO--comforting yet sophisticated, familiar yet inventive. A clear sign that Wild Honey takes its seafood seriously. But the dish that justified every whisper of Michelin-level praise was the venison. The cut itself was exceptional, but the execution was transcendent. Succulent texture, bold flavor, and a wild, almost ethereal depth--the contrast felt magical. Each bite was delicate yet powerful, like walking through an entire landscape of woodland aromas and game-forward richness in a single mouthful. Truly breathtaking. The signature custard sealed the evening with quiet elegance--silky, balanced, and deeply satisfying. A perfect finale to a Christmas night dinner we won't soon forget. Wild Honey delivered not just a meal, but a memory. Five stars, without hesitation.

It was perfectly cooked and came with a small cauliflower steak and frisée salad. There was nothing wrong with the sirloin steak, but as a British server in another restaurant once told me: an American should not order steak in a British restaurant. The cheese selection was excellent. Service was mostly fantastic but a letdown at the end. A server asked me I wanted port with the cheese. I said "yes." He put down a class, returned, and poured a glass of Taylor's 10. I remember thinking, this is okay but the 20 would have been nicer. When the bill arrived, I was charged for Taylor 20 instead of 10. It's only a few quid difference but the charge should be correct. I pointed this out to the server. He said he would check with the sommelier. When he returned he said I was served the Taylor 20. I had seen the bottle of 10-year with my own eyes but it seemed needless to argue. It was a disappointment after an otherwise excellent meal. Even if they thought I was wrong, they should have refunded the four or five pound difference off a check that was nearly 300 quid.
