My wife and I went here for lunch with a friend on a warm Tuesday in July... we were greeted pleasantly, shown to our table... and presented with the menu cards.
The menu changes fairly frequently and generally consists of about 7 choices per course - all of which show that the chef is interested and clearly cares about the food. We all chose different dishes and all were very good to excellent, in quality and presentation. There is a set price for two or three courses, a policy others could follow (please!)
The wine list is very long and has some unusual bottles.. however we chose a Sauvignon Blanc from NZ which was modest in price but great in quality.
The waiting staff were friendly and efficient... there was nothing to dislike.

This is 1st class food at 2nd class prices. Without a doubt one of the best value restaurants in Chelsea. The food is stunning, ambitious and creative with a broad range of flavours using seasonal ingredients. The sweetbreads make a superb starter and the cod on a bed of tomatoes and beans with raw nuts is absolutely orgasmic - so fresh and nourishing. For pudding the creme brûlée is outstanding as is the chocolate cake with milk ice cream.

6 of us on a Sunday, £35 a head on the Kings Road? Really? Just fantastic food, service and wine advice. Many dishes were chosen between us all and no one had anything but praise. Particularly the crab raviolo to start, the turbot to follow and the frangipan was like angels dancing on your tongue. They have definitely got their mojo back.

This restaurant has been in my wish list since I read good things about this place in a local Japanese magazine. I finally found their lunch set menu which was about 30 pounds for each (exc service), so we decided to try. : )
This part of Kings Road (World's End) used to be funky area, and still has a little old taste of London, Vivienne Westwood's shop is here, and several good old restaurants are still running. And Medler is several shops away from Vivienne's.
Inside is clean and light, with light grey and a hint of mint green decoration. It is cozy, not so big place but enough to contain several families or 10-person group.
Food... I was very impressed with good choices. Starter, Main, and dessert has 5-6 choices each and good mix. And they are excellent French food. Casual but sophisticated. I love each dish, they are just fine French food. Service was wonderful. We had a very good time, and hope to go back again.
There is no major Tube station around but you can walk Kinds Road toward Worlds End if you like or use bus and walk from Worlds End stop (less than 5 min walk).
