While in London, we randomly walked into this place off the street. The ambiance was nice - partly open air. Cool decor on the walls. Vegetarian options as well as oysters and steak.
I would definitely go there again!

Great drinks, food, and great service!  Highly recommend the verdant vista.
Loved the ambience on a Friday night.

If you're looking for a casual upscale bar and restaurant in Chelsea, look no further. When you get to the door, you'll be greeted by Oliver with a smile in his voice and his best efforts to ensure a grand dinning experience. If you're lucky enough to have the hardest working man in the food service industry, Muhammad will take great care of you.

Calamari for starters, a braised beef cheek dish with a potato cake and kale that I even enjoyed. The schnitzel is also not to be missed. 

Not pictured is the unbelievable blueberry sorbet. I'm telling you that you've never had anything like it.

It was a very nice restaurant with kind and friendly waiters. The atmosphere was very calm and great to chill and relax after a long day sightseeing. Even the lighting and decor of the place was nice. The food was okay but I wasn't satisfied with my choice. We were glad to see that our plates were not filled with oil in comparison to other restaurant we visited in London. 

Restaurant très sympa et calme, parfais pour se détendre après une longue journée de tourisme. Les serveurs étaient très aimables. Le décor et même la luminosité était très agréable. Le plat que j'ai choisi ne m'a pas spécialement plu. Cependant nous étions ravis d'avoir des plats qui n'étaient pas imbibés d'huile contrairement à d'autres resto londoniens.

Food was mid at best. Made reservation at 1 got our food at 3:20. Service was terrible. Took forever to get every item we ordered, and still managed to forget multiple things we ordered.

Me being American, Alex made it feel like, she's is amazing and will give you the best service. She accommodates to whatever you need and will do it with a smile. She deserves a raise! Thank you Alex for making the best experience

Terrible overpriced food and sluggish and unwilling service.   A really ghastly dining experience at nearly £60 per head.  Can't quite believe the number of good reviews here, as the locals appear to have sussed out this is not the place to be - it was nearly empty, I now know why. Avoid.

The place is really nice. Had a reservation upon my arrival to London don't by my friends. 
We went during Dinner timer 8:30 PM. It was easy to find parking on the weekend. The venue is well designed and set up. 
There is a bouncer outside, and there is a separation door between the bar which had many young professional dressed to impress :) 

Has a full bar by the entrance then the dining area is less crowded and had mostly couples or small groups.
Many people seem to order the Ceasar Salad with Chicken. 
Our table was next to the window and was not really in place, the wine almost fell. 

Wasn't really impressed with my food and its presentation. I had the Gorgonzola and walnut tortellini, creamed spinach, woodland mushrooms the paste was dry and the tortelloni was not well cooked. 
However, the Creme Brulee "MUST HAVE" the presentation was SUPERB

This is a very charming and posh spot but honestly the service is absolute rubbish. If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself ‍
