Had my Big Birthday lunch celebration at Bluebird Restaurant. Roxana had organised it for me and she was brilliant. I was quite fussy and prescriptive and asked for a few changes to the menu which she made happen. On the day itself, we had drinks in the bar first then went up to the mezzanine room. There were 22 of us and it was perfect. The room looked great and we were very well looked after by the staff - the wine flowed and the food was delicious. All in all, everything I wanted it to be.

I’d been wanting to visit Bluebird for a while and booked with my family for a Sunday lunch/brunch. There was a man in a black suit checking guests in who was really courteous and friendly, which was appreciated! Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the other staff. Inattentive, the wait staff were not particularly friendly and seemed overwhelmed by absolutely everything. Service was really slow and multiple drinks were forgotten about, one glass of Prosecco taking almost 30 minutes. We noticed that other guests sitting around us were waiting for long periods of time to have their orders taken and were becoming antsy. Food was ok, but not worth the wait or the pricing. Some portions were absolutely huge whereas some were really small which made no sense. For example, the “fish pie” is just a filling in a small ramekin with mashed potato piped on top, and was eaten in about five bites. Costing £22.50, it’s almost a joke! If you want to dine out in Chelsea, look for other more reliable options, you’ll be better off.

I regularly visit the Bluebird as I live local but have not reviewed before. Today I called in for s drink at the upstairs bar. It was not very busy but took at least 15 minutes to be served drinks. Prior to this I had been ‘greeted’ by a rude female Bluebird employee. If I had not been here before, bear in mind this is ‘local’ for me, then I would have left at this point. The service of the bar tender who did finally get my drinks was very good. I think more bar stuff are needed. However that does not excuse the rude female who was ‘greeting’ customers at the bar early evening 6-30

Haven’t been here since few years Enjoying our drinks sitting outside in the fresh air on this Saturday evening ( the weather isn’t cold as we are sitting on the comfortable sofa surrounded by the heaters outside the coffee shop ) Service is good

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!

I have been to Bluebird Chelsea in the past and enjoyed the food and exceptional service which is why I chose it, however I will not be returning. Just myself & sister so a party of two is hardly challenging. We were there maybe 2 hours, in that time the terrace was only half full at most so it shouldn’t have been an issue for staff to manage. We ate in the garden terrace, we were given blankets which we placed on the spare chairs, however later they took one back leaving one! We ordered a bottle of champagne, (birthday celebration), however when the waiter opened it some was spilt, although not much, at £145 a bottle I would have thought at least an apology would have been made but there was only “oops”, I had to tell him it was because it wasn’t chilled, so he left it at the table for a while then came back to pour it, after that we served ourselves (I fully appreciate this is not the end of the world however it’s not the standard I’m used to here). My sister’s food was good, Mushroom Strozzapeti, Triple Chocolate Brownie. My dessert was good, Apple Crumble. However, I had Eggs Benedict which I found, like someone else’s recent review, overcooked eggs, plain & unseasoned, but also the muffin was burnt and the ham was a little crisp! When the food was brought to the table we were not asked if we would like anything, I would have liked some pepper but it was only when the waiter went that I realised no condiments were on the table, I was halfway though my food (I don’t eat quickly) before the waiter resurfaced and we were asked if we wanted anything, I couldn’t be bothered to ask for pepper by then. Coincidentally, a little later the waiter asked the people at the table next to us if they had finished with their salt & pepper! Maybe there was a shortage!! We asked if the apple crumble came with custard or ice cream, the waiter went to find out, after 10 minutes he hadn’t returned so we just ordered from a waitress, I just decided to have it with whatever it was served with, which turned out to be vanilla ice cream that complimented perfectly. We had to ask for the bill twice as we were waiting so long to get it.

We came here for a friends birthday. We were seated to a table with coffee stains on it and were not given a drinks menu. When we asked for this, we were told we could “get up and have a look at the board”. We then asked if there was a menu they could bring to us, which was eventually provided. Three of us ordered the “green smoothie” (£7), which was small, brown in colour and was clearly 90% apple juice. The reservation was for noon; and despite the fact when I booked I explicitly stated for brunch, the menu only had 3 brunch options and we found out upon arrival the “breakfast and brunch” menu ends at 11.30am. If I’d been told this when I made the reservation, I wouldn’t have booked for noon. The service was slow, staff seemed lacking in confidence and competence and when my eggs Benedict eventually arrived, the eggs were over cooked and the food was plain and unseasoned. Overall the experience was disappointing and I will not be returning.

We cannot wait to return! Thank you Bluebird for an amazing meal!

Sadly the rudeness of the staff completely ruined our experience! It seems like it’s quite a trend here as having looked at other reviews I can see other people have the same experience with the staff. Lady on the door is completely ruining the reputation of the Bluebird - she was very rude to us and my friend had gone to the bluebird the previous week and said she experienced rudeness from the same lady! Unfortunate that a place with such a reputation are being let down by their staff.

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.
