    Excellent service by Jake who was very diligent and attentive. Amazing food. We ordered grill platter v generous portion. The starter garlic oil prawns were divine.

    The welcome into the restaurant was extremely poor. The person on the door was dealing with a member of staff and we were given a terrible table by the door. Asked to be moved and the request granted. Excellent waiter with first class service. Need a safe place for coats. Tables are packed in making the restaurant extremely cramped. The tables are also very small. A few items were off the menu. However the fish we had was served hot and fresh.

    We are in London to watch a show and we have never visited an actual sea food restaurant before. It was amazing food and hospitality. We started off with the calamari, then a mixed seafood platter to share and even managed a desert, although the portions were huge. We would 100% recommend this restaurant and will definitely return.

    Excellent Seafood experience from start to finish. Had Lobster soup and Gallacian Octopus to start followed by fruits de mer for two. It was all brilliant. Fresh and just the way we like it. We will use this restaurant again without a doubt.

    Great attentive service and amazing quality seafood. We enjoyed Normandy oysters, peeled prawns and a mixed grill for two which was divine. Well cooked and plenty of it. Adam our server was fantastic and looked after us really well. Friendly and informative without being too overbearing.

    Very good customer service....we ordered cocktails but when they arrived didn't taste great. Mentioned this to one of the staff and this was immediately resolved. Got new complimentary drinks that tasted much better. Food was good and the Seafood tasted fresh despite the fact that it was super busy. Had a lovely evening overall.

    The waiter was excellent, very informative and helpful, the food ok but for £145 plate of sea food, we were slightly disappointed a lobster between two people and some prawns really, promised half a snow crab 🦀, but it wasn't it was 3 legs of a snow crab. I think we went for the wrong menu choice really, the cheaper option of the Devon crab would have been better.

    The experience was great. The monk fish was amazing, however the mix grill became cold too quickly. It would be good to sit this on a hot plate or other alternative solution to keep the meal hot. Our waitress recommended a lovely wine as the vino verdi was not available. All in all a lovely meal for my friend's birthday.

    The Seafood Bar was superb. I took three friends out here and introduced one to the fabulous oysters and another to the super rich lobster mac and cheese, amongst other delights. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but the food and wine ALWAYS delivers on freshness and quality.

    Absolutely loved this place - we chose it for our wedding anniversary after a theatre show. We were given 2 glasses of prosecco and 2 shots of limoncello as a gift. The food was amazing - every type of seafood is on the menu. We really liked that the service is relaxed, we never felt any pressure, we were not rushed or pushed to order anything we didn't want to (many places that are over the top do that).

    **Avoid this restaurant!** We were excited to dine here after an excellent experience at their Amsterdam location, which we visited twice during our two-day trip. Unfortunately, our visit to the London branch was a major letdown. From the moment we arrived, the staff were cold and unwelcoming. They rushed us through our questions and made us feel hurried while ordering. Throughout our meal, they ignored our requests, and I had to leave my seat to get their attention. The final straw came when I was paying. My card was declined initially, and the staff member loudly exclaimed, "IT DECLINED," in a manner that was both unnecessary and embarrassing. I reinserted the card, and it worked, but the staff's reaction was uncalled for. The poor service overshadowed the food, and given the abundance of great fish and chips options in London, this place is not worth the trouble. Very disappointed!

    It does not make sense to charge 12.5 % service fee that does not go the waiter. I don’t think I will go there again, not good for money. And the facility there does not seems clean.

    It was advertised as number 1 seafood restaurant in London. I have no idea how they got that rating but as it was expected it wasn't even close to be good. Lobster soup was tomato soup with a fishy taste. Octopus was tender, but bland. Sea bass ceviche was ok. Best of all was oyster platter

    Restaurant wasn't too busy (30% full) took us around 15min to get served. I asked water twice and had to walk up to a very well mannered waitress that I had asked water for the 3rd time now. We spend £65 on a lobster where I would say is worth £20 at max with hardly any meat. They also don't have a lot of stuff missing from the menu, for example no oysters or their mail grill. The only reason we came is because they allow dogs. I would say I regretted this booking, should had went across the road instead to Barrafina.

    Overall a very pleasant experience. Minor niggles - no bread option with lobster soup starter, my monkfish was over cooked whilst the broccoli side was a tad under cooked, cool. But perhaps the main concern was that in summer (UK !!) there was no ice cream or sorbet offerings - the three desert options seemed a little limited.

    The food was fresh but not very well cooked or prepared. no flavour, no salt, and very poor chips. overall, it's not too bad, at least the food is fresh.

    Very disappointed. Food did not match up to reviews. Fish and chips was a decent piece of chips and okay batter with just a pile of tasteless, obviously out of a bag chips and a side of mixed leaves straight out of a bag. Broccolli with sesame seeds had no seeds, just boring undressed florets. Vignole was short on clams

    A lovely clean, bright restaurant and just a short walk away from the theatre we were visiting. Every aspect of the food was excellent - the best seafood we've had for some time. The staff could not have been more helpful and attentive. Would recommend
