Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Barnes

It had been quite a while since my last visit to the Ivy Chelsea, and as soon as I walked in, I was enveloped by its familiar warmth and charm. The ambience was just as beautiful as I remembered. However, I must admit I was disappointed they had altered the dark salad recipe; it seemed somewhat lacking, with only a small amount of duck included. On the positive side, the service was attentive and professional. Apart from my duck salad, everything else was exquisite—the succulent chicken was perfectly cooked, and the wine selection was exceptional, enhancing the meal beautifully. Overall, it was a delightful experience, aside from that one misstep with the salad.

The sea bass was delicious. The staff were lovely, and I'm looking forward to trying the restaurant for dinner.

The best dining experience we have ever had, totally worth the wait! Food, service, and ambience 11/10. Fine dining without any pretentiousness. Such a young team doing such an amazing job! A masterclass in hospitality ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great atmosphere, setting and food. Staff are welcoming and didn’t rushed to order or leave. Great for a night out or special occasion.

I had an incredible experience at Daphne’s . The atmosphere was elegant yet inviting, and the staff were warm and attentive from the start. I couldn’t get enough of the tiger prawns—it was absolutely delicious. The conservatory seating was such a lovely touch, adding a relaxed but refined vibe to the evening. I’ll definitely be going back—it’s a fantastic spot for a special night out.
