This is my 2nd time here I ordered the lamb cutlets, it was not like the first time the fries was greasy and thick The chicken wasn’t cooked nicely The carrot and coriander soup was nice I took the 2nd star off because when I asked the manager about the wifi password his answer was«this is not a café and people usually don’t ask for password«he could’ve just say that we don’t have a wifi, and this I find rude and it is a reason that I won’t come back again.

Small quiet out of the way place in chelsea. Food was outstanding and there was an excellent list of reasonably priced but fine wines. With this only half a mile from from our new place it may become a regular place.

Came here last night. Food was simply fantastic but the lack of any atmosphere really let it down. I had a glass of very good champagne to start followed by some excellent red wine. The crab salad was delicious. A friend raved about her oysters and the goats cheese was apparently very good. The filet steak was very tender and flavoursome, despite being rare rather than medium rare as requested. I was told that the cottage pie was stodgy. They did not skimp on the mint leaves in the fresh mint tea. Service was attentive and very good. There were very few customers, which probably accounted for the lack of ambience, but my companions said it was the quietest they had ever seen it. I will definitely go back.

5* service from the head waiter, 3* from the waitress who couldn’t explain how any of the dishes were prepared. Otherwise a fantastic evening meal. Crab salad was full of flavour and fillet was very good. Mousse de chocolate(I think) was just rich enough without the lingering after taste.

Very civilised, very Parisienne. Very… expensive(for what it is). Nevertheless, the closest thing to a slice of Paris in the neighbourhood. I sat in the enclosed curb side area with glass walls. The food was thoughtfully prepared. The linens clean. The other diners, regulars. A quiet hush permeated this Sunday afternoon. My only criticism is that the waiters are a bit too authentic in the Gallic waitering tradition of the roving eye that never quite sees that you need attention.

If you feel the need for a traditional French meal with tablecloths and an unchallenging menu, then this is the place. I love it — the food is very«correct», the clientele are very old school and the French waiting staff do their best to live up to the reputation of French waiting staff!!!

This place is perfect for trysts with old friends. Truly French, yet with the atmosphere of a smart Chelsea ‘local’, which is actually is. The only drawback is that you might well run into your youngest aunt lunching with someone more interesting than your uncle. The food mainly consists of reliable French classics and although easy to categorise as unadventurous, why spend time puzzling out what you are going to eat instead of catching up on the latest gossip? The cooking is superb. Last time I had a beautiful crab and avocado salad and a glass of Sancerre from the exceedingly well-chosen the wine list. The conservatory at the front catches the sun and is perfectly tolerable as the road is a quiet one(and it’s even fairly easy to park on the street), but I prefer the the main room as it’s pleasantly light, even on a dull day, and warm and intimate at night. The service is experienced and exemplary. Indeed, it’s a restaurant that gets nothing wrong.
