Bluebird

Amazing food in a great setting - just chilling in the centre of Chelsea. The staff are amazing - no, seriously amazing.

Great restaurant.

The venue and atmosphere is great - that cannot be argued. However i had a warm cocktail (it was meant to be cold) very average chicken and chips and a far too sweet dessert, I can say that the food certainly does not live up to the venue. The only saving grace was the squid which was lovely. All in all over priced and substandard.

Great atmosphere and good food and service.

Great terrace in the sun. Tried the salmon with risotto for a late sunday lunch and it was pretty amazing. Also dogs are welcome which is a very handy. Great launch music and heaters outside made a great ambiance.

It is hard to believe this is converted garage. Lines are clean and there is a warm feeling about the place. There is plenty of space around the tables, so unlike in many other restaurants these days you can actually have a private conversation. Waiters were pleasant and there when you needed them. Portions are good too. If you like grilled meat this is definitely a place for you – they really do amazing grilled steaks. Wine list is extensive too. All in all it was a very pleasant lunch and i will be coming back again

I ate here on a weekday with a friend. The restaurant is modern and smart looking. Initially the welcome was poor – the receptionist was on a long phone call and she and the other staff ignored us, and we saw the same happening to others later. However it all improved at the table – the waiter, a young guy from Martinique was friendly and highly professional, taking our order efficiently and making sure we were comfortable between courses. The lunch menu is excellent value considering the locatoin and the quality of the food. A potted salmon was served with little crispy biscuits and a cucumber salad; the ‘chicken burger’ was spicy and at our request they produced a mango chutney to go with it which was delicious. We did not have a desert but the coffee was quick and excellent. Bread home made and excellent. Wine not cheap but a choice of about eight whites by the glass, the same of reds. Altogether a good experience.

The crab linguine and burger were good but the chips were very average. We didn't have dessert because they wouldn't do one off the set menu – even after a waiter spilled a drink all over me.

Consistent standard in an area that lacks decent modern cooking with quality ingredients. On this occasion slightly marred by under par service. That won't put me off as I rely on Bluebird as my default when meeting clients in this area.

A lovely venue on Kings Road in Chelsea, Bluebird is rightly an institution in this area. My last visit before now was six months ago and in truth I was wholly disappointed with the previous experience. Food was very average, with lukewarm soup and stale bread in a club sandwich. This time around however the food has improved markedly, seemingly much fresher in ingredients and cooked with more care and attention. I wish the same could be said for the service however – atrociously awful is being kind. The waiting staff were totally disinterested in serving my table, to the point where after twenty minutes I walked over to the service stand to order some drinks and discovered two waiters busy playing on their Blackberries. Even after my pointed remarks to them, service was apathetic with plates of food thunked down on the table without an ounce of finesse. It is such a shame that our experience was sullied by these members of staff. Had it not been for them, I would have given Bluebird an overall score of 7. There are in truth better British/European restaurants in the local area (Medlar and The Penny Black being two notables), which whilst not having the same location cachet, offer more substantial food with vastly superior service.
