Great service but poor value for money.
Wonderful service, some of the portions were a bit small. Hugely expensive. In that sense, not good value. If you have an expense account, fine. If not, choose somewhere with better value for money.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious food beautifully presented
A nice contemporary decor. We had the three Course lunch menu with the wine pairing. Every plate of food was beautifully presented and tasted every bit as good as it looked. The sommelier was really informative and we enjoyed tasting the different wines she paired for us. The only downside was that one of our party didn’t enjoy the desert wine chosen so we asked to change it and she seemed very affronted that we asked her to do so. Otherwise our experience would have been five stars but she made us feel very uncomfortable.
Be the first to ReplyReassuringly good contemporary dining
What a wonderful experience dinner was! What struck me was the attention to detail in everything - the unfussy decor, the way the menu was written, the cooking and presentation, the style of service. The style of the restaurant blends contemporary with old-school values of hospitality. In terms of service, I liked being able to have a discussion about wines that would suit our meal that was not about talking up the market (as it so often is). I particularly valued the vegetable entree (three kinds of courgette that showed the difference in flavour) dishes and the fish. This was short visit to London after a few years' gap, and I had had a couple of very ordinary meals. This was reassuringly good.

Fantastic Sunday lunch with excellent value menu. The team’s welcome was super warm. Great vibe…relaxed and ideal for a weekend outing.

5/5 A perfect date night in simple yet elegant surroundings with attentive service and sumptuous food. Charlie was a great host and was kind enough to pay for 2 glasses of wine which had taken a little while to arrive. The waiter, Louis (sorry I think that was his name, his Spanish accent may have been misunderstood by me) was excellent and had a good sense of humour too. The wine was delicious, we chose the Rose De Noirs from Roebuck estate in Sussex. The food, from the bread and olives to the desert was superb.

Simply an amazing Sunday lunch produced by a very talented team. Elderflower hollandaise was a revelation - can't wait to visit again. Thank you for looking after us so perfectly,

We found the food and experience to be rather disappointing for a Michelin star restaurant. The staff were friendly and helpful and the wine and drinks were superb but each course of the taster menu was beige and nothing was really a “showstopper”. The truffle pasta was nice but the pigeon and offal sausage was particularly underwhelming as a course and the dessert, whilst pleasant, looked like something they brought in and jazzed up. For the overall cost I won’t be recommending.
Be the first to ReplyUnspectacular
Taramasalata dip was overly salty and unspectacular. The pasta starter was delicious. The turbot portion was extremely small for £50. The vegetables were sparse and dull. The presentation was ordinary. The celeriac purée was too runny. The hispi cabbage was almost raw and added nothing to the dish. The rhubarb sorbet was tasteless and the orange sorbet was too sugary. Tarte Tartin was delicious. The service from a new Spanish waiter was friendly and attentive. Despite clearly saying I had an allergy to mushrooms it was suggested from a different waiter that I might like the mushroom sauce on the side of the dish. An alternative sauce was not offered. There's a rigidity in their attitude towards flexibility between their menus. Overall I doubt that the Michelin star is fully deserved as too many small things were wrong. I was surprised to notice the sorbet was served on plastic plates. The restaurant design is spacious and comfortable with soft lighting. Two diners were extremely loud whilst talking to the chef. This was intrusive.

We’d visited P Howard’s former restaurant, The Square, and as soon as we realised he’s the owner of this restaurant, we made a booking, given the extraordinary meals we had at The Square in the past. This restaurant is just as good, if not better. Service is impeccable, staff is attentive and kind, the food is faultless, super tasty! You feel like you’re at someone’s living room, cosy ambience, a lovely and comfortable feel to it! We give it five stars! 🌟

We hadn’t been to Elystan’s for quite some time and I am happy to report that everything was just as good as before. We had the lunch menu which was delicious with so many original touches. The wine list although expensive is excellent and the service immaculate. We will be returning more often !
Be the first to ReplyThe worst and the best
My wife and I booked a 4-person table at Elystan Street with friends visiting us in London. I selected the place as I had read that it was run by the same managers/owners as Kitchen W8 that we enjoyed. Therefore, the disappointment was even bigger as the best way to characterise the dinner is a combination of the worst and the best. Some dishes were really excellent and supported the place's Michelin one star. Others - I'm thinking about the Cheese Soufflé that 3 of us chose - were barely edible as way too salty. That was also the case with one starter. We complained about this to the waiters - otherwise friendly and efficient - but to no avail. No form of compensation was offered for what was for most of us simply a bad experience. That's regrettable as the place is well located, nicely decorated, but currently does not live up to its Michelin star status.

The set lunch was delicious and excellent value. The customer service was exceptional from the friendly greeting when we walked through the door to being given a piece of the stunning 36 month aged Comté to take home after they heard that it was my absolute favourite cheese. We’ll certainly be booking a table for dinner soon.

Came with high expectations. Our son picked the place. The first welcome was “you have 2 hours must leave by…”, a bit odd having heard this on the phone twice. Anyway… The food was ok, the starters passable, the sea bream the tiniest of portions. The fish cake looked good as did the roast beef. The deserts disappointing. The service was ok. The manager aloof, no eye contact, let alone welcoming - not… It is around £75 per head. The room is lovely and bright. It was full on a Sunday lunchtime. I suspect because it has a Michelin star, which it will lose for sure if they don’t get to grips and sort themselves out - good luck.

For the better half’s birthday we went for the 6 course tasting lunch with matching wine, yes very indulgent, yum. Having been a couple of times we know the superb cooking of the chef and this proved again how good Phil Howard and his team are. Without running through all of the dishes my stand out courses were the first stater of mackerel with beetroot, what a way to start 10/10. The Hiroshima saki was for me the best food/wine combo of the lot. The cauliflower with mushrooms was as good and for a confirmed meat/fish eater I would choose this dish over the non-veg options any day. The matching wines were good although I did not think the Chardonnay went with the cauliflower dish very well (what do I know? it’s just my opinion). Pasta and rabbit very good, sea bass was ok but too garlicky for my palate, but my partner loved it, pork cheeks delightfully sticky and gelatinous, and the wines with these all good. The dessert of cheesecake and rhubarb ripple ice cream was pure heaven, myself and the mrs both said we could have eaten another, even though we were both Phil (sorry, full). This was not a cheap eat but you don’t go to restaurants like this for a snack, I have given 5 marks even though there were a couple of courses not really to my liking but this goes to show how good the others were for me. I just cannot fault the cooking and would recommend you try this restaurant, I think it’s underrated or at least under the radar a bit, but that’s great - makes getting a table easier!

Roll over, then click to rateVery Good Title of your review An almost entirely delicious and excellent value meal. Your review Tips for writing a great review Three of our party of 4 opted for the 3 course menu, which at £39.50 was excellent value. One of our party, due to dodgy stomach, opted to have 1 course (sea bass £40) off the main a la carte menu. The food was nearly all delicious and they catered very well for my husband’s gluten free diet. The only dish, chosen by me, which was a disappointment, was the rhubarb (far too sweet for my taste) and I didn’t like the beignets, which accompanied it. The mandarin water ices were I understand excellent. The bread was a little dull , but my husband enjoyed his gluten free bread. We enjoyed everything else. The portions were pretty small, but more than enough for our modest appetites. The service was friendly, but on the slow side. We had allowed 2 hours for a meal, with a booking at the V&A and became anxious, when the main courses were slow to appear. However, when we explained the position they willingly made sure we left in good time

Having had a number of pleasurable dining experiences at sister restaurant Church Road in Barnes we had high hopes (particularly given the noticeably higher prices). Unfortunately those expectations were not met. Service was poor. At one point I had to gesticulate exasperatedly to get the waiters to remove our plates that had sat untouched for 20 minutes! When we left no one offered to retrieve our coats meaning we had to locate them ourselves in a cupboard. The food was unmemorable and my soufflé had spent some time out of the oven. My advice; travel a few miles west to Barnes

A catch up with friends on a Monday evening. We let the sommelier choose our wine - it was a little abstract but completely delicious; he clearly knows what he's talking about and picked a hidden gem. The service was warm and personal, not not too obtrusive. The food was cooked, seasoned and presented beautifully. The bill was exactly what we were expecting. This is a great restaurant, and I'm glad we chose it.

I had the set lunch which is great value for just under £40 for 3 courses. The food was very tasty and it was just a lovely place to be, really welcoming so I’d recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly. Our lunch was a mix of friendship and business

Had an outstanding meal here, each course superb. Wanting to keep it light, I opted for the set 3 course lunch priced at £39.50, excellent value given the quality. Every dish was packed with flavour, as well as being beautifully presented (though not artistically overworked). It’s a well established operation, with the cooking too good to need much flash or flourish. Service was spot on - polished & informed but down to earth & friendly, the environment well heeled but easy going. The wine list is upscale but not over priced, same with regards to cocktails……& the best Pisco Sour I’ve ever had! In fact, this was the best meal I’ve had in a long time.

Wonderful four course meal with delicious food and great service. Excellent wine list. There was great attention to detail and courses arrived in perfect time with a small rest in between. I was surprised that there were tables available as we reserved a few weeks in advance. Also in a convenient London location.

Four of us for lunch, Thursday 22nd December. We opted for the set lunch menu. We had the celeriac soup with partridge sausage roll, the beetroot cured halibut and the cashew nut humus to start with. All excellent. For mains we had the pollock and venison. Both excellent. Xmas pudding and trifle for dessert. The sourdough bread was very good and we were offered lots of it. A good wine list. The employees were very attentive and pleasant.
Be the first to ReplyNot up to standard
We recently visited Elystan Street for dinner. We were looking forward to an evening out with friends, but sadly we were underwhelmed. From our arrival until we received our starter took one hour, the restaurant was not warm, the toilets were glacial and the service quite impersonal. No Michelin restaurant is cheap, however it is quite rare to leave a restaurant and not actually feel that full. Having eaten the starter and main course we resisted the very unexciting looking desserts at £16 each. The flavours of our meals were good but the portion sizes were not that generous whilst the prices were high. It is also unusual to not have any amuse bouche at a restaurant of this standard. We were only served one portion of bread! There was no "warmth" shown at all from the servers & the employee handing out the coats on leaving showed no interest whatsoever in how we had enjoyed our evening. Having been lucky enough to eat in many Michelin starred restaurants, this was certainly not one of the best or even close. We won't be returning, there are far better restaurants with better ambiance, food and service. Great shame!

A pleasant Friday night dinner in a lovely restaurant. Friendly staff. Excellent Brill main course. Delicious desert lemon tart. Small confusion with the wine order
Be the first to ReplyTop notch cuisine indeed-but service well below par for a Michelin star restaurant.
My wife and I had booked to have Sunday lunch at this restaurant in order that we might celebrate together three months having passed since we wed in April of this year. We were eagerly looking forward to sampling the set Sunday lunch menu-having come across it on the restaurant's website. Imagine our surprise however when we entered the restaurant only to be met by a young lady who, although very well-presented and attractive, seemed to have difficulty stringing two words of English together. I gave her our surname and informed her of our reservation. This drew a blank face in response. Rather than replying to us directly she simply turned her back on us and a few moments later returned with a colleague/supervisor who was fortunately able to take over and direct us towards our table. Once we had been seated for about five or ten minutes a waiter eventually appeared at our table with a couple of menus. His attitude was not particularly welcoming-as if to say "what are you two doing here? The sooner you are both out of here the better". He really did not seem pleased to see us at all. Had we said or done something to upset him? However in spite of this seeming reluctance to engage he nevertheless proceeded to take our orders. As a starter I opted for the beetroot with the mackerel rillettes while my wife chose the courgette salad with ricotta cheese. These dishes when they arrived were both excellent we agreed. My only gripe was that there was not more mackerel on the plate! I accompanied my starter with a nice glass of French cote de provence Rose wine which went down very well. Next came the mains: roast beef with roast potatoes and Yorskhire pudding for me and sea bream with vegetables for my wife. Both dishes definitely worth waiting for in terms of quality and presentation. Fine ingredients all expertly cooked. My beef had a perfect flavour and texture and the roast potatoes were all crispy and salty as they should be. My wife assured me that her fish was perhaps the best she had ever had in any restaurant anywhere. But why serve both main courses in bowls instead of on plates? Also the waiting time between the starters and the mains was way too long in our opinion. Food impossible to criticise-but service questionable in just about every way. I went to use the facilities while waiting for the main courses to arrive and not only was there water on the floor of the gents-but it was clear that the urinals had not been flushed through for some time. The basket containing the used hand towels was also overflowing-with some of them on the floor. My wife also said that the ladies room left a number of things to be desired. Once the mains had been finished and our dessert orders taken (raspberry millefeuille for me and sorbet for my wife) I asked for the waiter to bring me a black coffee at the same time as the desserts. This instruction seemed to bypass him completely since not only did the desserts take about 15-20 minutes to arrive but the coffee arrived 10-15 minutes after the desserts. In all the meal took almost two and half hours which is way too long to spend in a restaurant. The desserts were both delicious like every dish which came before them. But the simple fact remains-the 15% service charge turned out to be totally unjustifiable on the day. Thank heavens my wife and I were not Michelin guide insoectors in disguise-otherwise the star rating might have been in jeopardy based on the level of service received alone. I have given 4 for food but please read 4.5.
