Bluebird Restaurant

Pricey, but worth it. The pasta is actually great, drinks are great, service is great, and this is clearly the place to be. Best ambience in all of London. Nightlife meets supper club meets "I swear I saw her on tv"... especially the more drinks you are in.

Went with a friend from London and she did not miss the mark.

Try the passion fruit martini. You will not be disappointed.

Went here on a Friday for our anniversary dinner, on a suggestion from a friend. The restaurant space is huge and well decorated. Very trendy. We had the bread basket and burrata, both were tasty. I liked the lemon oil! For the entree, we had the beef Wellington, which we both enjoyed too, particularly the bordelaise sauce.

The service, however, was severely lacking. After getting our starters, we didn't see our server for 30 minutes. Then, when we ordered the Wellington, he shamed us for not ordering it sooner since it takes a while (45-50 min). After we said we had no problem waiting, he didn't come back for 40 minutes. We are aware Wellington takes time to cook, but the menu should specify to allow extra time because not everyone does know that. Or, the server could mention it when we ordered starters and drinks.

This place and a meal is a Wow, wow and wow experience. The sumptuous main dinning room (and there a several other special event rooms) is astounding. The service is top notch. The food is the highest caliber.

The people watching is the main entertainment. Most dressed in their finery. Most youngish age adults who are pretty and well groomed. International crowd. I heard at least 10 different languages being spoken.

This place is destination worthy for a special night.

I'm torn about giving this place the full 5 stars, as there just seems to be something missing, but given how good the food is, I have to give credit where it's due. The food is TOP-notch; there was nothing that I tried that I didn't like.
First off, however, there are three different places all huddled in one place, so when you reserve the spot, make sure you pick the right one. This particular restaurant is on the second level and has a decent view of the street - if you're lucky enough to get a window seat. If not, no worries; it's not the worst-looking place to dine in.

I was first struck by how good the cocktails are. Regardless of whether you're cup-o'- tea is tequila, bourbon, or champagne, they will have a twist that is perfect for you. I tried the very tequila-based SW3 cocktail with notes of rose and cucumber-mint; light, refreshing, and mouth-wateringly tart... it's one of the best I've had in a while. The second was the Bourbon Legend with a smooth mix of Maker's Mark Private Select, Woodford Reserve, and notes of cherry and lemon. Again, perfect balance.

Foodwise, the menu is pretty seafood-heavy. However, the few meat dishes you'll find are good enough to satisfy the palate: chicken, beef, venison, and duck - all perfectly cooked and paired with the best and most complimentary ingredients. I can vouch for the Venison En Croute, which is 2 semi-cooked venison medallions embraced by a crispy shell, sitting on thinly-sliced beets steeped in sloe gin, surrounded by pickled blackberries and a creamy toasted pine-nut purée.

For dessert, you have a modest selection of sorbets, exotic fruits, and a flourless chocolate cake filled with a rich chocolate ganache and paired with Crème Fraîche to cut through that decadent thickness.

Is it pricey? Yes, if you're not used to spending almost a £100 in one full meal. But given the area it's in, not only is it not surprising, you could also definitely do worse. The downside: Service can get pretty slow after your main has been ordered, so be ready to wait a while, at some point during your meal.

Had brunch here and it was amazing - no joke the best French toast I've ever had. The bacon on top really made it complete! The atmosphere is fun inside with lots of great plants and decor. Definitely a "scene" but no complaints about it since the service was friendly and food all lived up the the hype! Would be fun for brunch with a group of friends or someone's birthday!

Service painfully slow, even for a Sunday brunch, which wasn't a brunch or there would be breakfast on the brunch menu- the only offering was Eggs Benedict. No sense of expedient customer service anywhere. Food was okay at best. Ambiance ruined because they let a party in with their dog who barked constantly. It's a shame because they had such a good reputation in the past.

I was so disappointed visiting this restaurant. I thought it was a high end restaurant but I was wrong. the service was very poor, I visited with my friends on Saturday evening only to find we were waiting a long time for drinks and even water refills. The staff were lovely but clearly overworked. I would suggest that of you are looking for luxury think twice

We were extremely disappointed with both the food and service. A friend of mine is vegetarian, and they were not at all accommodating to her diet. The only thing she could order were chips and a salad, both of which were brought out extremely late. Our server substituted a drink that one friend ordered without telling him. She only admitted it when he mentioned that it tasted very different than what he was expecting. She still charged him full price, even though he did not order the drink. Additionally, we had made a note in the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, which they completely ignored and did not acknowledge. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

11/07/20 Saturday eve, COLD STEAK, WAITRESS FORGOT MY SIDE, poor service
I ordered a steak and a side for dinner, the Italian waitress forgot my side, served an almost cold steak (thats probably sitting in the kitchen) steak got cold by the time she delivered the side.

I kept waiting for my side, tried to call someone but there's no one around, I wanted to stand but we were sitting on a round booth and I didn't wanna interrupt my friends eating so I was just there frustrated. When I finally reached the waitress she's like I'm sorry, well sorry is not enough, this mistakes do upset your stomach!
COLD steak not worth £33 and on top she charged me service charge for the poor service.
DISAPPOINTED

This review is based on me going one time, only for drinks, and not sitting outside. So you can judge this review based on that... mmmmmk?

This place is filled with silly people. You know, the type of Chelsean's who go to spend a lot of money and look good and judge everyone else? It's kind of funny because I feel like I'm starting to write a lot of judgy reviews, but it is my choice to come to these places. WHATEVER I'm getting distracted. I think I'm going through a cocktail phase where I think it's really fun to just try a bunch of cocktails. To be honest with you, all of the cocktails I tried (which was 8 because we are only friends with people who like to share ;) ) were absolutely delicious. And that's saying something!!! They were all really different and beautiful. I especially dug the lychee and rose martini. So, if you're into cocktails, and don't mind spending some dough (no they're not cheap, you're in Chelsea so you can't complain about the price), then come here!

Not gonna lie, I'd love to check out this place during the day because everyone talks about sitting outside on their pretty patio.
