Gallery Mess

As others have said, it is a lovely and sophistociated restaurant in an interesting section of Chelsea. I went there because it was a Time Out critics choice and it had the set dinner special mentioned above on this site. When I got there I was told there was no set or special menu so I ordered off the regular menu which cost twice as much as the price above. The food was above average but expensive for what I got. They also brought my starter salad at the same time as my dinner which was annoying. All and all I came away a bit disappointed.

A lovely modern and sophisticated restaurant in the heart of Chelsea. A great selection of dishes on the menu as well as an extensive drinks menu. I had a fish dish which was excellently cooked and presented beautifully. Staff were delightful and attentive. A great space in such an affluent area of London. Would highly recommend.

Went there last weekend for afternoon tea - a little pit stop during shopping trip. Decor is amazing - elegant and a little kooky. The tea was beautifully presented - I love the simplicity of the slate stand! My friend and I loved the selection of mini cakes, all cute and delicious. It was great to see proper tea selection as well - our waitress was very knowledgeable about it and, following her recommendation, I had first great tasting green tea in ages! Service also gets thumbs up - friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble (my friend has few allergies and the waitress was very helpful with arranging some substitutes to the original selection). Overall - will visit again and recommend to my friends.

It is now 17 for two people which is still reasonable. The scones, tea, etc were delicious. The two macarons that come with it all are hands down the worst I've ever had but the entirety of the meal made up for it. Service was terrible. The waiter ignored us when we were seated for 10 minutes, was then extremely cold to us, and took about 20 min to bring the bill at the end. Love the location, establishment itself, scones--hate the service (and sub-par macarons) ;-)

Went there last Saturday for a quick lunch with my boyfriend. Enjoyed a yummy burger cooked on a brioche bun and cooked medium as requested. Managed to sit ourside and catch a few rays too - bonus!

My best friend and I went to the Gallery Mess last night for dinner after visiting the Saatchi Gallery to see their new Korean exhibition. I thought the food and service was fantastic. The nice weather helped as we were able to eat al fresco. I had the crab cakes followed by the poached sea trout which were both cooked to perfection. The price wasn't cheap and neither was it expensive. A lovely all round experience - I'll definately be heading back.

It was my first time both at the Saatchi Gallery and the restaurant and I really enjoyed both. The interior of the restaurant is nice and elegant in it's simplicity and created a nice atmosphere for me and boyfriend to enjoy our evening meal. I had the chickpea and mint soup to start with - fresh and delicious to taste - and salmon and cod fishcakes as my main, really enjoyable! I finished with simply amazing chocolate and honey cheesecake, really worth betraying my New year's resolutions for! The staff was really helpful and very attentive. I will be definitely recommending this place to my friends!

I have been into the Gallery Mess a few times now, and have enjoyed each visit. The waiting service is always pleasant, and look very sharp. This past visit I had the Chicken breast. It was cooked perfectly, and very juicy. I will definitely recommend, and have to friends.

Went last night. Really not up to any kind of standard, appears simply to do business because it's in the heart of Chelsea. Half empty. Had a burger - no offer of how I'd like it prepared (rare, well etc) - bad sign. Burger came. Just rubbish - bun overtoasted, burger done more than well (don't they trust their meat?!), almost too dry to eat. Chips good. Wine was thin, should have been robust. Service was good. Waiting staff should chase the chef out and do it themselves. Not worth the money, not worth the time. Hit reset.
