I am very disappointed with my visit today. I have attached a picture of the person being extremely beyond rude to me and my 2 year old son. Before i get to what actually happened i just need to point out we asked for a highchair and i didnt notice untill i was taking my son out of it the sides were loose and parts of it were literally broken and hanging which was shocking. I was first served by a young polite man who took our order. When they brought over our drinks i opened the sparkly water bottle and poured it into a cup which was provided with ice and immediately noticed a dead fly floating in my cup which clearly was in there when they brought over the cup. I asked the man (pictured) to please give me another cup. He said its not our fault but okay i will change it. He then went inside took out the ice and the dead fly and poured the sparkly water back in the bottle and came back with the same bottle same cup same water that i poured in the cup and pretty much threw it at me on the table with no ice in the cup and walked away. I had to ask several times for small things like straw or extra sauce because they forgot as they were so busy running around and it made my eating experience so horrible just seeing so many people run around me while im trying to eat. If the picture is not clear i believe this man is italian from his accent and i think he may have been the one in charge today. My 2 year old son was so excited being out and eating with family. The man came over and yelled at him "what is it" and my son stopped talking and looked at him and the man said "oh what you shut up now" and i was furious but i did not say a single thing because i have a son looking up to me and i chose to bite my tounge and be polite despite his appalling behaviour. At the end when we wanted to pay a young man came over and asked if everything was okay and i just said yes to avoid any confrontation in front of my child. I am very disappointed with this man and the service of today as i usually come here when im shopping...

Edited post, the info and hello functions dont work and the restuarnt wont pick up the phone, so you have can this review.... Good evening,                    I've refrained from leaving  a zero or one star on google, as I've seen previous complaints and found the email address needed. My wife and I had the misfortune of visiting your Chelsea branch yesterday (Sunday 1st October) We received a warm welcome and was shown to our seats by a wonderful member of your team, and thats where the positives end. We ordered food and drink. The food arrived, i cut a piece of my kofta and it was cold, as were the chips. A waitress eventually turned up with our drinks, and when I said the food was cold, she offered to 're heat it', i said no i would prefer  to have a fresh one. After some time a different waitress came along and slammed my plate down, and loudly shouted at me in front of all the others that 'If you are going to lie about the food being cold dont eat half of it first. I cut one piece and tried a few chips, this waitress was so rude and accused me of lying about being served cold food. This waitress was extremely scruffy, uniform torn and untidy. She then ignored our table completely and we waited an age to get our bill, i assume she got what we think was the manager to bring our bill over. i explained what happened, he simply shrugged and said they were busy, would we like a free dessert or coffee?   i asked for the service charge to be taken off, which he did. the food was average at best and i have been rather unwell since the visit, i think you need to be aware that in this day and age with financial constraints that eating out for many is a luxury choice. The service was totally unacceptable,  We wasted the best part of £40 and we will not make that mistake again. i dont expect a response i just want you to know how bad the visit was, perhaps you have expanded too quickly looking for profit whilst leaving service to...
