CheckMate Bar, Lounge and Restaurant in Kensington and Chelsea

Staying in the Park International and Checkmate is shut so no pints or food

Everything ok but just a bit overprice

We stay at the Park hotel and tried their restaurant. The food is good but the service is very slow,even if there aren't many customers. I cut out one star because of that and because it's a little bit expensive.

The waiting times were very long. The appetizers were way too big so you were not so hungry for the main. I ordered a medium rare steak and it was well done and the quality was very bad and it was very chewy. Also it was Way to expensive one steak costs 21.95

Expensive for what it is. We got Thai dishes since the chef is from Thailand and we were mostly unimpressed. My garlic chicken was good but my wife's curry was weak, lacking in body and flavor. Also it should be noted that prices did not include tax or service charges, which I had assumed. That information was not included on the menu and it seemed like common practice for those to be included .

Love how cosy the place is. Great food and drinks. Most importantly, beautiful live music. My go-to place if I badly need to switch off or just simply listen to fantastic piano and vocals.

Surprisingly very good Thai food

Cosy and stylish bar with lounge and dining area within the Park International Hotel, Cromwell Rd, SW7. Have 2 screens for BT Sports but the best viewing is in the lounge area but seating is limited here. The food is Thai/International cuisine. The barbecue chicken wing starters were generous and tasty. I had a delicious king prawn dish but the steak my partner had was unappetising and disappointing. We sent it back and chose another dish. The staff were helpful here and overall, the experience was a pleasant one.

Outstanding Thai Food in reasonable price, sure not oily, but fresh & clean fried vegatible & squids, with tasty Thai sources. Enjoyed a well organized dinner here.

Excellent place to spend the night in. Well organised and clean. The pianist is amazing and willing to play whatever song you would like. I went there twice in 3 weeks. Thanks for the outstanding service.
