Beautiful restaurant...good food...lovely service! We are visiting London from the U.S. and really enjoyed this little gem in Chelsea! The sea bass, the salmon, and the tomato/burrata salad were a hit at our table...

We both liked the warm ambience and Lauren's excellent attentive service. I enjoyed my food - oysters appetiser, octopus starter, perfectly cooked whole gilted bream - although octopus portion was a rather tiny tapas-size. My friend was a bit disappointed with his bland ox tongue starter and his ox solimolle (?) was overdone for which the chef apologised but offered no recompense by way of any discount or free dessert/coffee.

We had originally booked for 6 but later changed to 9 persons. One of our group was delayed but we were not pressurised at all. Food as always excellent as were the staff. Thanks

My husband and I had a very nice dinner at The World's End Market. I enjoyed my ribeye steak and truffle mashed potatoes (although I love truffle so would have preferred a little more truffle flavour). The service was fantastic, and the wine list was great. I would recommend this restaurant if you are in the area---also check out The Bletchley bar they have downstairs!

Limited menu but what we had tasted amazing, food was cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and welcoming and we would definitely visit again. Only reason this wasn’t a 6 was because we were asked several times if we wanted water and said no and they still brought us some

Stopped here for a late lunch, there were 5 of us, it was not our initial choice, but we were pleasantly surprised. Orders taken, great, food arrived, 3/5 perfect, however veggies were missed off the order for the other 2, after waiting a while (meat getting cold) we asked again, and it appeared they had missed the veggies off the order. Quick rush around from the waiter with our meat kept warm under a light and we had the veggies. So we assumed we would get a refund, but the waiter/waitress excelled themselves. 1st - a lovely sharing dessert platter arrived, which was delicious 2nd - 5 brandy Alexanders which were lovely The place wasn't that busy, so although we had to wait for the veggies, the apology and the extras more than made up for the mistake. Thank you ....

This is one of best restaurant I have been to in ages. The atmosphere was great and the staffs were really friendly. On arrival, the staffs were very welcoming as they acknowledged us with greetings. Once seated, it didn't take long for the waiter to attend to us. We were told the missing dishes and soup of the day. Every question we had about the menu, the waiter took their time to explain. The meal I had which was the seabass and sweet potato tasted really nice. During our meal, the waiter came often to check on us and also topped up our drink. When leaving, we were offered a friendly farewell. I would definitely be coming back here.

Nice atmosphere, nice and friendly staff. Everything came quite fast, appearance and taste of the dishes was excellent. We are looking forward to the new menue cards, because currently very small to read and probably we missed some specialties of the house. We had nice oysters, carpaccios and steaks.

Amazing lunch - food was excellent. The goat's cheese starter I had was so good, I could have eaten it twice. The Burger was one of the best I have tasted too. My friend had the steak tartare and the lamb chops which he also described as delicious. Service was discreet and the Malbec - well, what can I say - just have some! Definitely want to come back.

Nice vibe, pleasant servers and great starters (oysters, burratta, goats cheese w/beetroot plus ginger pumpkin soup). Our server completely changed between appetizers and mains w/o explanation. 2/4 of the mains were great (ribeye, lamb chops. 2/4 were average (chicken breast and salmon)

Food nice but not good value for money. Poor vegetarian options. Restaurant roasting hot - no air conditioning so very unpleasant. Ice cream for dessert was horrible - icy and tasted weird - probably defrosted and refrozen.

It wasn't busy, there where three other tables. We where waiting for our friend who was 20 min late. We had to say this about 4 times as the waitress kept asking to take our order. The waitress was rude, she looked and acted so unhappy to be working. We ordered bread to have while we where waiting for our friend, two roles appeared. They where so solid that you couldn't even cut them with a knife. We said that the roles where stale, the waitress just took them away. No apology, then to make it worse we where charged for them, having to ask for them to be removed from the bill. The stake was okay, my salad didn't have any dressing on, I didn't realise it was meant to have dressing until I saw my friends when I had nearly finished. The chips with Parmesan and truffle where really good. All in all very expensive for a disappointing meal.

The service was good, however I booked breakfast indicating I'd be using my tastecard. I was told when I arrived I wouldn't be able to use it. This is serious because: - no where on the website is said they don't accept it for breakfasts - I selected that place because of the tastecard, when I could have selected a way more convenient area for me

The World's End Market sells itself on having the 'best meat in the world' but our fillet steaks (cooked rare as recommended), whilst tender, lacked flavour, with one being served cold, the other warm - both sat lonely on their otherwise empty plates. Truffle & Parmesan fries were tasty but at £3.90 you'd expect them to be sharing size. I barely got a taste of the spinach and garlic as the quantity would have fit on one spoon had they not spread it across a large plate in close to single leaf depth. We wouldn't normally order fillet steaks but the smallest Chuleta De Buey was 1.5kg, which comes out at about £225 with only two people ordering steak, which was a bit steep given this was a last minute/pre-event dinner. The lemon sole was beautifully cooked and starters were well received (although grilled scallops were lacklustre and also barely warm and asparagus was overcooked). The charred octopus was by far the winning dish. Service was indifferent with staff bristling when requests were made. Obviously we weren't their target audience (the loud/thumping music through the restaurant later in the evening made that clear), but still I was expecting more (both food and service-wise), especially given there were only a couple of other tables dining.

It's a scruffy pub at the dodgy end of Kings Road. Don't go expecting the worlds best steak to have nice surroundings. Staff were useless - they poured food all over our table at one point; dumped the steaks on our table and didn't understand that one was cooked rare and one medium rare, weren't nice to deal with etc. The pub was filled with people in tracksuits etc. The steak itself was nice - although most of it wasn't available despite being on the menu.

Ordered a steak shown on the menu, was told it was only available in larger size enough for three people. Changed request to a burger, was told they could not serve it rare! This is supposed to be a restaurant specializing in meat, yet they cannot vouch for their meat to the extent of serving it rare... Made the booking through Taste Card (which clearly shows that Sunday bookings are acceptable), and which was confirmed by email yet when it came to pay, they insisted that the card could not be accepted on a Sunday. After arguing with the Manager for 20 minutes and showing him the website which clearly shows only Friday and Saturday are not valid for the card, he grudgingly gave us the discount. Not surprised the place was empty except for one other table; NEVER going back.

We had a wonderful meal. The service was excellent throughout and the flavours and quality of the food were superb. A fantastic lovely evening. The atmosphere was excellent and a really good relaxed and enjoyable vibe. Some of the dishes were stand out. Sashimi stater was amazing. Saw another table share a rib of beef which looked amazing. Can't wait to return and try this!!

Our steaks were terrible. They are billed as 'the best in the world' but compared to Hawksmoor or Goodmans there is simply no comparison. Don't believe the hype people and steer well clear! We wanted a selection to try out. We wanted some rib eye, some sirloin and some fillet. The prices on the menu are per 100g so we thought we'd get 200g of rib eye, the 250g fillet and the 250g sirloin. We were told the rib eye only comes in 500g minimums, most of which would be bone, they had no fillet (at 7pm on a Saturday) and so our choice was only 250g flank steak and the sirloin (which the waiter couldn't push enough!). They also recommended to cook rare. This was a mistake. It was tough, chewy, sinewy and difficult to cut, chew and swallow. An excellent quality fillet rare is fine, but sirloin? No. They then brought our steaks out minus our sides which had been incorrectly delivered to the table next to us. We then had to wait for new sides whilst the 'main event' went cold. We complained and were offered a free dessert and coffees which is why I haven't given them one star, but two. How the documentary on Netflix, 'Steak Revolution' came up with the conclusion that this meat was better than The Ginger Pig / Hawksmoor, is a mystery on par with the Pyramids of Egypt! Avoid, avoid, avoid. And don't say you weren't warned if you go!

When you promote a venue as the only place in the U.K to sell the best steak in the world you should be able to not run out of ALL of it! We came for that reason and ended up with Razor Clams... Those Clams came up still fool of sand and after complaining to the manager he answered that it is impossible to get rid of all of it. Well it is actually! I'm myself a restaurant manager that sells Clams and weirdly enough we manage to serve it without sand. And then the £17 beef tartare... Witch is not made fresh, witch is badly seasoned and really small. After once again complaining to the manager, the plate got taken away and came back 5minutes later, the exact same one, with a dressing on the side that was apparently the reason of the poor taste. We were really happy to learn they also know why it doesn't taste right! Maybe you should remove it from the recipe? To be fair the manager did discount fully the Clams, weirdly charged for the tartare and was apologetic. Basically we were really excited to try the amazing product they apparently sell and we left really disappointed
