    Always an exciting new menu and new wines on the menu at affordable prices- a real find in the heart of Chelsea

    A regular for us with a hospitable welcome (and importantly and dog friendly) always a pleasure.

    Stanley's on a July evening of torrential rain was the happiest place to be: beautifully lit and festooned in blossom with stylish outside seating; dry under umbrellas and warmed by heaters with wonderful food and drink - particularly the Stanley's Coates & Seely sparkling - excellent. Feel good factor with happy dinners was exemplary!

    Second time to Stanley’s. Very good impression for the first time on everything, food, services and ambience. This time, everything was ruined as we sat down at 6:30, we were asked to leave at 8. We booked the table on the fork and there is no indication on anywhere that we can only stay for 1.5 hours, on a Friday night. Not sure if this is the problem of the fork or the restaurant. We were declined to have desert because it was too late and we need to leave. Our mains were only served at 7:30 though. The food is ok but all these made us like eating at fast food shop. Very bad experience.

    the service from booking, call back to at the Restaurant were absolutely excellent. I've been to most of the restaurants in the area - for service they are way beyond the other Kings Raod eateries. Highly recommend the place - good food, nice vibe and super people

    Lovely atmosphere and great service. The food was delicious as always and my cousin loved it…her first time at Stanley’s. Generous portions so very easy to share 3 starters and some bread for lunch between the two of us. We were warm under the heaters and were also given rugs to keep us warm as we wanted to be outside.

    Our outside table was a disappointment and the wait for our main dish was unacceptably long - perhaps a victim of its own success it was certainly very busy - otherwise nice team and good food

    Stanley’s is a fantastic place to eat in the heart of Chelsea. Great for large groups, special events or simply a quick lunch for two. The food is delicious, with an attractive seating areas both inside and outside (under umbrellas and heat lamps).

    A hidden gem! Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere without losing efficiency. Food was great, and interesting, a small but beautifully thought through menu covering all possible dietary choices.!! Fabulous cocktails too! Definitely would recommend!

    Excellent food, lovely friendly staff and a cosy welcoming setting. We shared lots of the small plates and then had puddings - particularly loved the brussel sprout and mushroom dishes. Highly recommend for diners and food.

    A lovely restaurant tucked away off the Kings Road. Three separate sitting areas, all of which are attractive and atmospheric. The food is absolutely wonderful

    Food was so so. We were in the conservatory but could smell cigarette smoke - the large terrace serving food had a lot of smokers and vapers. Noisy background music. Been open a while now and it shows. Tired toilets etc. Staff tried hard but obviously under the cosh and very busy. Would not want to return.

    Such a lovely oasis of calm and greenery just off the KIngs Road. Food beautiful, wines great and a good offering of non-alcoholic drinks also. It was my second time eating at Stanleys and I will be looking for the next opportunity to go again.

    Asparagus starter was a highlight - delicious sauce. Bread and butter (served at a perfectly spreadable temperature - which for some reason so many restaurants struggle with - was also delicious). Lamb cooked to perfection. Aubergine main was tasty, but I felt like it was missing a bit of texture - some kind of nuts/seeds would have elevated it. Not the smiliest service ever but perfectly pleasant and speedy.

    The food was delicious, we tried most of the small plates and two mains between 4 of us. Great atmosphere inside and out. And brilliant service, couldn’t ask for more. Will definitely go back.

    4.5/10

    Great terrace and nice cocktails. But forget the rest. Half of the menu was no longer available, the starters and mains we had did taste like precooked meals from a supermarket. The red wine we were served was so warm, was undrinkable. There is a minimum to care of when you are in the food business.

    The menu did not offer what we wanted. Dishes were small and not really satisfying and were over priced. Simply not substantial. I would not return

    8.5/10

    The food was excellent! It’s in a interesting location tucked behind Phat Phuc noodle restaurant. Nice to sit outside. The Maitre D seemed to have a sense of humour failure or was just not in a great mood. There was meant to be a candle in the dessert for my Mother’s 83rd Birthday, it was extremely disappointing that it was completely forgotten about.
