My wife and I went with my daughter’s family for dinner on Boxing Day. There were seven us ranging in ages from grandparents to grandchildren. All of us ordered various dinners and each us raved about our meals. The service was outstanding and the family atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. A perfect family restaurant in Chelsea with reasonable prices.

We had one of our best, if not the best meal at Myrtle. A lovely experience from start to finish. Drinks in the wine bar next door before being warmly greeted and shown to our table. The restaurant is on two floors and pretty intimate but all diners were perfectly spaced…….everything has been considered. We had the nine course menu. Every single course shines and offers a taste sensation with perfectly balanced flavours and textures. Each offering comes with a snippet of information about its origin - providing another layer of interest. The team really have nailed it……The front of house service is exceptional- friendly, funny, knowledgeable and extremely professional, whilst the chefs create absolute magic in the snug kitchen. Anna is one clever and extremely talented chef. My husband had a very Happy Birthday (which was acknowledged). Thank you Team Myrtle!
