On Friday evenings, the special is a pretty innovative fish menu and it is a joy to find out of ordinary and innovative dishes on the card. On the regular menu, the sharing pizzete is pretty nice as a starter while waiting for the main dishes. The lamb is absolutely divine. As I am not a great roast fan, I am not too keen on them, but my friends are always pretty satisfied with the meal on a sunday! The service is at times a bit scattered, but the kitchen makes up for it.

Having wine paired with our dishes was brilliant, making the restaurant extra special! This restaurant is in Mandarin Oriental's basement, but it has these red sexy loungey vibes. You could see colleagues having dinner, and some people enjoying a cute date night! My mom had french onion soup for her appetizer, which she thoroughly enjoyed. My dad and I shared the octopus, which we wanted extra charred. It was beautifully cooked, served + presented. Plus, it was a good piece (not something you can say about most places with their octopus lol) I think I could order the octopus for my entree and be content. But we didn't stop there I ordered the steak, my mom ordered a veggie burger and my dad ordered a regular burger - the dishes weren't crazy exquisite or over the top, but it was just good food. My mom did rave about the veggie burger though - I think it was a falafel pattie? smelled nice as well!

We tried a lot of dishes and honestly, there's not a single one I wouldn't order again! Here was our meal with descriptions: Drinks - Watermelon & cucumber gin & tonic - Old Fashioned Appetizers - Baguettes and butter (complimentary): fresh and airy start to the meal. - Small Charcuterie board: We really enjoyed the shredded duck and the jamon. The wheat bread accompanying the charcuterie was also delicious! Small pickles and dogs decorate the plate to balance the salty with sweet. - Lobster roll paired with Sunset white wine: So decadent and delicious! This isn't your standard lobster roll. The buttered roll and the lobster bits were the perfect balance of tasty and satisfying. Dinner - Loup de Mer: after so many appetizers, I was looking for a lighter entree. The sea bass was prepared so well, and layered over grains with marinated peach pieces. I loved the balance of sweet and savory, and would definitely order again. Pair with the Sunset white wine. - Steak Frites: Amazing! The fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. The bearnaise sauce served alongside the steak complemented the dish so well, making each bite better than the last. Paired with a Merlot. Dessert: - Vanilla bean with berry cream birthday dessert: Way to make a girl feel special on her birthday! This dessert was so light and tasty, I loved the final touch Bar Boulud put on my perfect birthday dinner. - Vanilla Mille-Feuille: Puff Pastry filled with vanilla cream and topped with a lace of caramel sauce. YUM! So flaky, but we scooped up those extra pieces with the side of homemade vanilla ice cream, so no complaints here!

Stadium is new and comfortable. My only gripe is you can't bring your beer into the stands, so you might miss something if you're drinking one outside a concession stand. Plenty of drafts to choose from, though, and the prices are reasonable. Great team. Great fans. Great stadium with solid concessions, a pub and a club shop so you can grab that jersey before the game starts. Wonderful experience all around.

First-Hand Experience: I love this team. I loved watching them in their new, amazing home in 2011, and will do so again soon. I've also seen them live many times, both in their new and old incarnations. I'm a massive fan. Great facilities, great fight in the team to rise up through the leagues like they did. I'm delighted that this is the 2nd team in the actual football league I get to review because they are absolutely legendary. See, here's what happened. Wimbledon rose up through the leagues and were a real force to be reckoned with in the 80s, with current Hollywood star Vinny Jones, plus TV star John Fashanu, plus wise guy Dennis Wise, and all sorts of other crazy people. They were, of course, known as the "Crazy Gang." Then some evil money person decided to move them to Milton Keynes. That sh** happens in America. That does not happen in f***ing England. But it did. And the team disappeared. But then the fans formed a new one, and entered it into the league system way way down, many levels below. And they've been rising up the leagues ever since and are now back in the big time, into the football league! It's a far cry from beating LFC (my beloved LFC, they best team in the world) 1-0 in the FA Cup Final of 1988 (don't mention Lawrie Sanchez, or John Aldridge having his PK saved by Dave Beasant... Beasant? Gold Balls? Becks?), but hey, it's a start, and they're well on their way back to the big time. If we can just get Oxford United and Wimbledon up to the Prem, it'll feel like the 80s again and I can finally get a record deal. By the way, they play in hideous dark blue with sexy bits of yellow sometimes, their old stadium was Plough Lane, new one is Kingsmeadow, and they're from a rich part of London but you wouldn't know by the thugs they call fans, which is kind of how it probably sort of should be innit? Their stadium is in Kingston-Upon-Thames by the way. Can anyone say Grey Poupon? Also this club was unbeaten for the longest period in pro football, 78 games. Meanwhile MK Dons haven't done sh**. Karma's a bitch. No, she really is. I'm married to her.

Worst football experience ever. Family was very excited to attend first Chelsea match on trip to…read moreLondon. Bought premium tickets with food and beverage including in the Rose and Ball club. Pregame communication was great. We arrived many hours early as suggested. They had communicated to me about dietary restrictions and indicated they were able to provide gluten free food days prior. The trouble began when we were dropped off. There were no signs to the Rose and Ball club. We asked one guard and were sent to the opposite side of the stadium from the actual location. We asked another employee and were sent to a different club inside the hotel. We continued to ask for staff help and no one knew where the club was. 30 minutes after arrival or longer we asked the 7th person who was actually an employee of the visiting club who was clearing an area for the visiting club to arrive..he initially said he didn't know then a few minutes later chased us down and said he heard found out for us and pointed us in the right direction. Well, at least the visiting team staff was helpful. Well went to the club for the "premium" experience and it was awful. By this time (about 2 hours before the match) there was no place to sit. It was Very Overcrowded, uncomfortably so!!! We tried numerous times to get help finding or obtaining gluten free food. Each time, our initial interaction with staff was friendly and they wanted to help but of the 5 staff members we asked for help, only the last one returned. All others went to talk to a manager and never returned. The people working the food stations were clearly scrambling and very apologetic that they couldn't help. They said there was a QR code that could be scanned for ingredients for each dish but that often didn't work as most people can't get a good cell signal in the overcrowded area. We could not get a good signal. The workers said they used to have paper labels but stopped doing that and guests now struggle and they need to go back to the old system. The staff and the guests we're visibly uncomfortable standing shoulder to shoulder in a room where you could barely move your arms to try to eat and drink while you stood there feeling like a sardine smashed in a can. One staff member complained that this was ridiculous. He said they do this every match. They grossly oversell access to the club b to maximize revenue and the majority of the guests stand around uncomfortably and the staff is put in a position where they can't possibly provide good service nor help people. Well, I happened to agree. It was an awful match day experience. So very disappointing. I would never buy a Rose and Ball premium experience again.

The tour lasted about an hour and a half and it was fantastic. We walked through the home and visitors locker room, walked onto the field, explored the views from the press box, and even sat in the media room where the players speak after each game. It was awesome! Our guide, Raymond, was fantastic. You could hear his passion for the team and for the sport in everything he said, from the history of the stadium to the knowledge of each player. He was very engaging and outgoing with our small group of 8. I would recommend this tour!
