Reviews For Wild Tavern

This fabulous neighbourhood restaurant has some of Chelsea’s best food. It’s pricey, but it is absolutely fabulous. From the crab pasta at the bar to lobster (here have both locks and foreign when in season) and caviar, and an extraordinary wine list, this is a local secret. The steaks are outstanding too -the highest grade meats cooked to perfection and served beautifully. The lamb rack is thick and tasty and again cooked perfectly. This is quality dining -some would call it British but I’d call it international food of the highest order. My favourite nights here are spent sitting at the bar having dinner, and the waitress Iona is absolutely brilliant. She makes fantastic suggestions and has an energy and service level way beyond anything I have seen. Absolutely brilliant.

Wild Tavern is a great little restaurant in a lovely neighborhood. The food is fabulous. The atmosphere is perfect for a nice quiet evening. And the staff are all extremely professional and friendly. Just a fantastic way to end the best two week stay in London my wife and I have ever had. We definitely recommend the Wild Tavern and hope to return soon.

Had an amazing time at Wild Tavern. I didn’t expect it to be so busy and vibrant because the street is very quiet, but it was such a nice surprise! The pasta is handmade in the restaurant and very delicious. The staff were extremely kind and accomodating and it was the perfect date night spot in Chelsea. It is very expensive but worth it!

Amazing Place, gorgeous food! Very Italian taste, only the Cannoli was a bit different from the original. Good service good views, very friendly and nice. I really appreciate and recommend

A neighbourhood gem! For anyone lucky enough to live in Chelsea, or anyone visiting the area, this tucked away spot on Chelsea Green should definitely be on your radar. A warm, inviting dining room (we went for lunch, but I imagine it becomes very romantic in the evening) and charming staff - we were greeted with a big smile by Faith, and our waitress Lucia was spot-on with her recommendations. The specials were a particular highlight - the blue fin tuna with truffle, and the beef bolognaise were both outstanding. The cauliflower starter was also delicious, as was the cannoli for dessert. All in all, a fabulous place for lunch or dinner!

This place makes you feel at home. A cozy and quiet room with different textures of warmth. Every time I’m here the staff are friendly and professional. Food is exceptional with an equally impressive wine and cocktail list. Make sure to go to Wild Corner after for a glass after to keep the evening going.

I recently visited this restaurant and overall had a mix of highs and lows during the experience. To start with the food – it was excellent. I had the lobster pasta, which was very nice: rich, flavourful, and cooked perfectly. We also ordered a few starters, and they were equally amazing, leaving a strong first impression. Unfortunately, the service didn’t quite match up to the quality of the food. The waiter was a bit odd from the start. He offered to serve everyone their pasta when it arrived, which we appreciated. However, when the dishes came to the table, he was busy attending to another table. He asked us to “wait one minute,” but then disappeared entirely and never came back to serve us. As the pasta was starting to go cold, we decided to serve ourselves. Oddly enough, the waiter reappeared moments later for some casual chit-chat, as though nothing had happened. He didn’t even acknowledge or apologise for forgetting to serve the pasta, which felt a little unprofessional. To top it off, he randomly asked us if we “also work in hospitality” – an unnecessary and slightly confusing question. To sum up, the food was great and worth the visit, but the service left something to be desired. If the staff can improve their attentiveness and professionalism, this place could truly shine.
