The Chelsea Corner — Restaurant in London

Very disappointing service for a restaurant actual has good food, such a shame!! We have been to restaurant before, this time I booked a table for my birthday and requested a sofa corner for 4 people, when we went in the restaurant, there are 2 people sitting on the sofa bench area for 4 people seats, apparently there is no table reserved for us , the waitress first said they can’t see any message when people do the booking as it is not “ their system “? then she started to say my message was sofa corner which they don’t have sofa corner ?! Sorry I didn’t use the exactly right English words to describe the sofa bench area, but I would appreciate if you could call to let me know there is no “ sofa corner “ instead there is “ sofa bench “ , whether it is suitable? Instead , there is no communication until we get to restaurant and tell me that it’s my fault because I didn’t use correct word to describe the sofa area? Waitress also said there are nothing they can do when 2 guests to decide to move to a 4 people table , excuse me, but I believe it’s standard practice that you put “ reserve “ on the table for the table booked?

I would strongly recommend the manger of the restaurant to look into improving the booking and service , it’s great the food is good here, but if service is so appalling, customers would...

Purpose of visit: Celebrated a birthday dinner at Chelsea Corner after discovering it on Google due to its positive reviews.

Would I return? Absolutely! Chelsea Corner exceeded expectations with its delightful food, reasonable prices, pleasant ambiance, and friendly service. It checks all the right boxes.

Food quality: Certainly, the appetizers were a highlight, including roasted goat cheese, Burrata, homemade bread..., f Main dishes with fish filet with zucchini, roasted calves liver, Risotto and Tagliatelle with hearty meat/bacon sauce were well made The portions were generous, and the overall quality was excellent. Notably, the pizza was perfectly crispy, the cocktails were well-made, and the prosecco was delightful.

Value for money: The pricing was quite reasonable, with hardly any dishes exceeding £20.

Service experience: The staff was not only friendly and accommodating but also injected humor into the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the service.

Ambiance: Chelsea Corner truly excels in this aspect, boasting an airy and spacious atmosphere with high ceilings—an uncommon gem in this part of London.

Final thoughts: Undoubtedly, we were highly impressed and plan to revisit. Each dish was a delight, and the overall experience left no room for...

The young gentleman that seated us wasn't the friendliest, and he was visibly annoyed when we asked questions (once). However, a kind, friendly and accommodating woman took our order and answered any questions we had. We were grateful for her recommendations.

I ordered the burrata salad to share with my little, and asked for a pesto dressing because my little isn't a big fan of truffles. We enjoyed it with bread. It did need a little salt, but the burrata and veggies were fresh and delicious.

For our mains, we had the Tagliatelle Casalinga and Risotto con Pancetta e Piselli. The Tagliatelle was dressed in a creamy and delicious tomato sauce. I wasn't a fan of the dry chicken or uneven cuts of smoked bacon. The risotto was creamy and adorned with peas and crispy and smoky bites of pancetta. Our little enjoyed spaghetti made with a creamy tomato sauce and Parmesan. They were gracious enough to make this dish, as it wasn't on the menu. Thank you!

We also enjoyed a sweet and refreshing apple and passion fruit mocktail.

This restaurant reminds me of a neighborhood fave you might frequent for cozy meals, where everybody...
