    Food was lovely and some staff really professional and nice. But my main course was just forgotten. When I ordered it again after 30 minutes wait while my wife finished her dish, another starter was served instead my main dish. We did not have enough time to wait as we has another engagement so we asked for the bill. We were told to go and pay at reception. The outside table and chair was a little tight and small so we sat squeezed in like sardines. We were told it is the council’s regulation. There was one nice lady from Madrid who served us with professional kindness. Not sure what to make of this experience but it felt chaotic and a little stressful.

    We ate at Ixchel after visiting Chelsea Flower Show. The location is perfect for that purpose. The flower decoration outside the restaurant was very much in keeping with the Show. The food was really good but not at the top of today's London standards.

    Nice service esp from Jason. The main course I wanted was not available, despite only having 4 or 5 options and it was the only vegetarian option. They were super busy due to Chelsea Flower Show being on. Its also very loud.

    I have wanted to try Ixchel for a while so was pleased to finally do so. Overall it is a great restaurant but perhaps with the anticipation of eating here, I left feeling underwhelmed. The food was all very tasty and the portions were great for a sharing style menu. The decor and ambience is fantastic, although as the night progressed the music became louder to the point where we found ourselves repeating our orders to the waitstaff each time, and the waitstaff often misheard what we said (but at no fault of their own). I'm not sure how I feel about the 13.5% service charge. We had a different person taking our drink order vs our food order vs delivering the food etc. so we never felt like we were truly taken care of or knew who was looking after us, and we were often asked if we wanted another round of drinks right after ordering with someone else, ultimately the service felt quite chaotic! (but I will recognise the staff were doing their best and were very professional, kind and helpful). The range of margaritas was amazing, we loved the classic Tommy's, the dirty margarita, and the jalapeño cucumber margarita. The only disappointment was my friend ordered the dirty margarita after trying mine and once it arrived we both agreed their drink tasted quite different to mine and was a lot sweeter, so the inconsistency in the drink order was a shame too, as the first order was so delicious. I will come back as it was a good experience overall, but with lower expectations.
