Cactus Blue

Waste of time and money. Very small portions, bad and rude service.

We paid a stunning 38 £ for a set menu with quesadilla, a bad cocktail (I think the ones at the bar are better) and fajitas.

Atmosphere is fine, but it's absolutely overpriced for the type of food they serve.

Of course is good if you want to feel a very "south ken" type or show off with your new posh gf, but I do no see any reason to come back there anytime in future.

Awful food, awful service the drinks were ok but took a long time to arrive. Expressed my disapointment to the server but they showed no concern. Would never ever go back.

nice buzzy place, good atmosphere, don't expect much from the food though which is overpriced for what it is, not to say it's wholly unpleasant. Drinks are good and bar staff are friendly and helpful.

In short, not the place of choice for food but good atmosphere and good drinks.

Had dinner last night and was so impressed. Started off with some drinks at the bar, the fresh fruit cocktails rock, although the seats were so uncomfortable we had to move to a table. Had a fajita platter for two to share, it was huge it was easily enough for all 3 of us. It was such a good vibe and the wait staff was amazing, so attentive and personable. Would definately recommend it for a comfortable palce to chill out with friends

We had a family evening meal there, my parents and us three daughters and our boyfriends, all felt that it was a special place. Buzzing, very busy, music great atmosphere quite electric. Sitting round the balcony lookind down and around.. I have recommended Cactus Blue to many friends. Better than Navajo Joe's, similar ish restuarant in Covent Garden.

This was my fourth time in as many weeks, what can I say " I cant get enough of the place". I'm not usually a creature of habit but this place has changed me.

Keep up the good work to all that work down there..

Rolled up on a busy night with group of friends and was greeted by a blaz'n hot hostess. Had a booking for 8pm. It was 8.15pm and she asked to wait at the bar for about 10 min. as they were busy and the table was running a little late. Cool. The eight of us hit the bar and were served by a really nice female bartender who was on top of her game and quick. she said her name was "Angel." She looked after us and held our attention spot on. I must admit Cactus Blue is not what you might think. it's BIG.....three floors and alot going on. Real buzzy on busy nights. Main bar area is where it all seems to kick off and then above on the first floor where we all had dinner later is more secluded away from the action but perfect for an occasion. Service can seem a little slow at times but if your not in a rush and out to enjoy the night and be seen then you should not mind at all as the service is great when it does arrive.....they were busy. Food was great...... I had probably the best steak I have ever had (rare fillet) and asparagus something to start. The DJ kicked off i think around 10-10.30pm as the music got a little louder then but the bar was packed anyways and we were about to pay and head downstairs.The DJ played on till late and hit some great classics that girls bounced to and me and the guy's enjoyed 100%. Over all got to say that the place for us was great! Not too pricy for what you would expect Chelsea way and the staff were all sweet and easy. It is the Chelsea crowd though...... some of the other guests you may raise an eyebrow to. We will all be back. Keep it up! J.

Took my girlfriend for dinner and found selection of food to be good and well prepared. Staff were very friendly and pretty helpful with suggestions. the atmosphere is fantastic! Even the building itself is very arty like and interesting. Toilets on second floor a little tiring but it lets you explore the other two floors which are pretty cool. Over all had a great time and will be back
