Tucked away on Walton Street, Dinings SW3 feels part private club, part Tokyo townhouse. The kitchen leans on the spirit of an izakaya — informal, playful — but folds it into the elegance of Chelsea dining. Expect sushi and sashimi that arrive with almost architectural precision, alongside robata-grilled skewers that speak more of comfort than ceremony. The menu is modern Japanese with flashes of European influence: think wagyu tartare crowned with caviar, or miso cod plated with painterly restraint. What makes it special, though, is not the fusion but the balance — dishes that surprise without trying too hard. Service is attentive yet unpretentious, making it a place equally suited to long dinners or quick bites at the counter.
