    Whole sea bass garnished with herbs and lemon, served alongside a rich seafood stew, sautéed greens with almonds, and boiled potatoes.

    Me and my partner visited Fishworks for our anniversary and it was amazing. From the Host who welcomed us at the entrance to the lady who served us, it was just perfect. Customer service is something I appreciate and the patience they had with us in educating us about the menu and even bringing out live fish sample was just 👌. The food/fish was fresh and cooked perfectly (Thank you chef) and we are just lost of words. What a sensational experience and we will certainly come back and spread the word. Thanks again.

    Very friendly and welcoming staff. Food was good (monkfish well cooked and with a nice sauce and potatoes) and for the quality, priced quite well. Nice spacious tables and relaxed atmosphere. My food was very slow in arriving but I was given an apology and would definitely go back again.

    Beautifully cooked and presented fish, reasonably priced (as was the wine) and pleasant atmosphere. Like so many contemporary restaurants, the hard furnishings ensure high noise levels if there are younger folk shouting at each other at surrounding tables. Good location and great competition for Bentleys next door. Happily surprised how good this was.

    A cheese platter featuring a creamy soft cheese, crumbly blue cheese, and firm aged cheese, accompanied by fresh grapes, crispy crackers, and a mix of dried fruits, with a cup of dark coffee in the background.
    Fresh mussels in a light herb-infused broth, served with toasted bread topped with green herb butter.
    Crisp-skinned sea bass served with fresh arugula and a light drizzle of olive oil.

    The staff were very pleasant and attentive

    In London alone for the night and was starving so headed out for some hearty food. Fishworks couldn’t have been a better choice. The service was superb and the food (Soup, Frito Misto with chips and spinach sides, and pannacotta for dessert) was tasty and in generous quantities. Thanks!

    Smooth, rich roasted vegetable soup with a deep orange hue, garnished with olive oil and fresh herbs.
    Crispy battered cod served with thick-cut fries, creamy tartar sauce, mushy pea puree, and a lemon wedge.
    Grilled fish with chargrilled skin, accompanied by tender shrimp, a lightly cooked scallop, and a bed of peppery arugula, creating a flavorful seafood medley.

    Excellent food and service. The revamp has made the atmosphere much more welcoming and cosy than when we were last there in January ‘24. Kat and the team have done and great job and we’ll certainly be back.

    Grilled fish with a golden-brown crust served on a bed of fresh greens, accompanied by crispy fries and a creamy dip.

    We both had the mussell for a starter which tasted very fresh followed by the tuna in soya sauce. The staff are extremely friend & cleaned the table after each meal was completed, which you don't normally when going to other resturants. We like to pay particular thanks to the waitress from Bulgaria who served us the above meals, very chatty & made us feel very welcome. Kevin & Teresa

    Baked scallops in their shells, topped with a crispy breadcrumb crust and served with a creamy dip, accompanied by fresh greens.
    Hearty seafood stew with tender white fish, aromatic herbs, and vegetables in a rich tomato-based broth.

    The food is great. The place is cozy and the staff is friendly as well. Scallops cooked really nice

    The food is nice, the side dishes were ok, but not great. It is a bit expensive for what you get, but it is in the centre of London, so it not really strange. The atmosphere and the service are great.

    The oysters from lindisfarne. I had a sample of 6 as a starter 2 from Ireland 2 from Jersey 2 from Lindisfarne. All explained and described well by the knowledgeable waitress. The 4 were good but 5 and 6 the lindisfarne were exceptional. The rest of the food just got better and better. Well worth a visit.

    There wasn't much choice to begin with on the catch of the day. I would have liked the grilled sea bass, but it was very large, too large even for my husband and myself, and the waitress said she would box the remainder up for us, which we didn't want! Also, it was to be served on the bone. I was left with sea bass roasted in the oven, which I didn't want, and when it came to the table, it was not fresh and not very tasty.

    We were very impressed by the friendly and attentive staff and service and the refurbishment is absolutely splendid. Unfortunately, the two Dover Sole mains were rubbery and stuck to the bone and I didn't expect that! I expected the same quality grilling as I regularly receive at Marylebone. I understand that you had a new chef! ☹️ ☹️☹️. We chose to sit by the open windows and that was a bad mistake. The staff from the neighbouring restaurant continualy stood in front of FishWorks smoking and loitering on their phones! Very happy with only half of the experience, but very very disappointed by the fish and ambience. I won't return unless I'm assured that these two issues are put right!

    This small restaurant was excellent and what’s more quiet! We started with the fish soup which was very good. My husband had the Dover sole , I had sea bream and we shared the spinach and roasted potatoes. Everything was delicious
