Best Lunch Restaurants in Chelsea

Awesome pub. Love coming here. Our waitress (Elise - hopefully not butchering the spelling) was great, too!

The food and drinks at this restaurant are delicious. You are going to pay accordingly, but expect to have a solid meal and very good drinks. The atmosphere is beautiful — the restaurant is well decorated. It’s not too loud and not too crowded, which makes it feel pretty posh. However, we had a very odd experience with our server Nelson. He didn’t even say hello or good evening when we arrived and he just raised his eyebrows and said “yes please” when he took his notebook out to order. While I am all for efficiencies (I used to be a server and a bartender for 3 years), part of the hospitality business is…hospitality. This man expressed no smile, no emotion, and no sense of humanness. It was so weird. One of the ladies who appeared to be a manager came over to take our dessert order and she was very friendly, but we couldn’t understand why Nelson was so extremely cold. It appeared that this was his demeanor towards other tables as well. We arrived 5 mins early, didn’t take long to order drinks and food, and didn’t linger. What was his issue? We will never know. We will definitely be back to the Ivy, but will request to not have him as a server.

Really excellent and chilled out Valentines meal. The flat iron steak with cafe de Paris butter was fire!

Excellent experience with the lunar Lunch menu. Reasonable price, excellent food and served in interesting style. Atmosphere is excellent and fine for talking at lunch but very noisy at night.

We had a lovely evening. Food was great esp the parmigiana! Also our waitress was fabulous.
