Gallery Mess is definitely not a mess. Lovely, light and airy place. Clean unfussy decor, making the most of the old building structure. An inviting bar runs half its length to make you feel relaxed and at home, with equally friendly and welcoming staff. Bag a table by one of the huge sunny windows and look out at the statuesque trees silhouted against the green sports ground fronting the Saatchi Gallery. Wide food selection from a bowl of hot soup to full meals and of course a range of drinks to inebriate or to invigorate depending on your mood. Just round the corner from Sloane Square tube and right next door to the excellent Gallery, really easy to get to and then to wander off round to feast on the arty offerings. Of course, this all comes at a price, these are not corner cafe costs. But then neither are they ridiculously top end either and for a special afternoon treat (or to be trendily impressive in a smart but casual environment) - perfect!

Amazing service for a lovely venue with a view on the Saatchi Gallery's gardens. Absolutely loved their Champagne afternoon tea with perfect cakes and yummy sandwiches. They also have a kids' tea option that's as cute as it gets - you can decorate your own cakes! Loved it.

We stumbled upon 'The Cod' and had a delightful mid afternoon snack. I have some mackerel pate with a half a dozen oysters washed down with a couple of London Prides. There was space on the outdoor terrace which was shaded so as not to have to endure the 'scorching' late sept London sun. Quiet, pleasant and an attentive and friendly wait staff and seemly very local cliental . I will need to remember this for next time. I would say as good or better than anything like in it that area of Chelsea and defiantly worth getting away from the Kings Road crowd.

We ordered fish and chips and a cheeseburger (sans bun for gluten free) and the kids had chicken tenders and a cheeseburger. The fish and chips were great, with crispy battering the fish flaky and delicious. My wife's burger she said was very good, flavorful and juicy. Everything we ordered was really good and, of course, we enjoyed a pint of proper English lager. The staff members were very nice and helpful and the pub atmosphere was great, even with families (obviously we weren't in the bar area). Overall it was a great top off to our day of sight seeing and we look forward to returning.

Most memorable dinner we have experienced in a year or more. …read more Beautiful trout with spring vegetables in a subtle glaze and chicken schnitzel with an aioli type sauce. Even the asparagus deserved its own review. Staff knew how to make the evening a hit including a very rare thing: a well mixed martini. Our meal was topped off with a perfect British sponge cake snuggled down in warm toffee and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The environment of casual benches and chairs with homemade cushions surprisingly served to make the relaxed ambiance the perfect background for the fine dining. The chef and staff share their process in an open kitchen which allows the diner to appreciate the whole experience. No one hurried us. Everyone was professional and lively. An evening we will not forget.,

Everything on the plate was FANTASTIC. I especially want to note the bacon- I'm somewhat of a bacon snob and theirs was perfectly done. Thick and cooked enough to be sturdy but not overcooked and too crispy. My first time trying black pudding and I was a little hesitant, but it was also delicious. Highly recommend this place. I wish we were staying longer in London, we'd probably come back every morning!

Fantastic experience!…read more I made a reservation for dinner after seeing The Hunger Games and am so glad that I did. The restaurant is nearly next door to the theater, so a plus for a great meal within a short distance. When I arrived my table wasn't ready, so I was escorted to the bar for a cocktail. I wasn't overly early so didn't expect to wait long but after a longer than expected wait decided to order at the bar. I'm a big people watcher, so the bar isn't ideal as your back faces all of the action. They have an extensive cocktail menu and because I couldn't decide i opted for my good old faithful martini. Typically there's a Sunday meal offering but they were out so I went with the scallops, the longhorn steak and Mac and cheese. The scallops were fantastic but the star of the show was the steak, I'm a medium rare plus girl but the bartender told me that because of the way the steak is aged there wouldn't be blood on the plate and that was the honest truth. The steak was perfectly prepared and I was sad that I couldn't get through half of it. The mac and cheese is extremely creamy and well prepared as well. Typically I'd take a star away since they forgot about my table. But once they remembered they came over and apologized. It wasn't expected but they decided to comp my cocktail, which was a great surprise. If you're in the wharf area I'd absolutely give the restaurant a go. There are other locations in London so know that you have options

We went for lunch to celebrate my husband's recent milestone birthday and were bowled over. The oysters were bracingly fresh. His steak was perfect. For him, the highlight was the chips cooked in beef dripping: OMG over the top amazing! I had a Wellington with mushrooms and cheese (delectable) and a gorgeous Caesar salad. The sticky toffee pudding (my very first ever) was sooooo orgasmic! Husband had a strawberry tart that was fresh and creamy and served with a quenelle of mouth watering strawberry gelato. I was able to arrange a welcome drink for my husband on the OpenTable app. It came on a dinner plate with a happy birthday message inscribed in chocolate, and a single discrete candle. I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. We will be back.
