Tom's Kitchen reviews
Good food, very poor service, arrogant waiters. Even after booking our table, we were asked to move upstairs to order desserts at the bar as our time slot had expired! Make sure you CHECK YOUR BILL - their first take was £330 but the final one came in at £250. What made it worse was that there was no apology or offer to remove the service charge.
by nikkit (2 reviews), 05 May 2008Had a great lunch. Lively crowd, but staff in the bar and at the front desk were very unfriendly... perhaps because we are Americans? However, we will go again since the food was good and not overpriced.
by KHJONES, 13 Jan 2008Never having eaten there before, we chose this place on the basis of a good few nights in the bar. Although the food is very good and the menu well balanced and quite extensive (though actually not that exciting), I was slightly staggered by the price, considering the setting is less than comfortable and the service was only adequate. There are considerably better restaurants where the food is more exciting and the setting more in line with the the cost, thus offering better value for money.
by Kelly M (3 reviews), 28 Nov 2007We just stumbled across Tom’s Kitchen and popped in because it looked good. Restaurant was fully booked but we got a seat at the bar, where we ate our food and watched the chefs at work. Busy, lively atmosphere, friendly staff, tasty food, good service, reasonable price. We’ll definitely go back, and we’ll book a table in advance next time!
by DirtyMartini, 24 Oct 2007Average, noisy, too many kids, not an exciting menu, not bad value for money.
by cystalhaze "top london reviewer" (20 reviews), 06 Oct 2007Staff were lovely - very friendly and efficient. For example, I was suffering from heatstroke that day, so they put my food in a box for me and allowed me to take it home (even though I would've loved to have stayed and finished my meal there, because it has a great atmosphere).
by kiddo (6 reviews), 07 Sep 2007Great food. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Ooo, and great chips!
by nexthammertime (6 reviews), 15 Jul 2007From the moment we arrived we had a really good feeling about the place. Cocktails were delicious and the service and food top notch. Their chips are to die for! Cannot wait to go again and try another treat from a perfect menu. Congratulations to one and all!
by sprog, 18 Mar 2007Absolutely superb! Just what Chelsea needed. Food and service impeccable. Very friendly but not invasive. We had the special starter fish platter for two, followed by the rack of lamb, and duck confit. We shared the baked Alaska to finish off. Not a bad word to say!
by SRK, 01 Feb 2007Having been to Tom Aiken on Elystan Street I was keen to try out Tom's Kitchen. We went on a Monday night and the restaurant was busy. The menu is simple but covers all the bases and is reasonably priced. The food was delicious and the service was friendly. Definitely a welcome arrival to Chelsea.
