The BEST seafood restaurant in London. I went a few months back and can't believe I didn't write a review. The service wasn't the best, they took shockingly long to bring the water to the table but apart from that everything was perfect. The food was way beyond my already extremely high expectations. Even though it's fine dining you will be fine to come as you are, without feeling out of place. Plus, the food is so good, you forget about all that other stuff. I think, it's the ideal place for almost any reason to dine out: romance, special occasion, business meeting, pre-theatre as it's in the westend or even just a dinner in central London. It's pricey but well worth it. I can't wait until they open again. I've already booked for my birthday!

One of my favourite restaurants in London. The fish stew is fantastic! As are the oysters. Lovely ambiance, especially outside. Absolutely love!

Amazing seafood just like every time I go. This time we got the fried oysters and the flavours were so amazing and to die for I could eat a dozen of them. The seafood platter was fresh and delicious as with the lobster Soufflé and the rib eye was cooked to perfection. So not just a fancy seafood restaurant. Highly recommend and go regularly on special occasions and it’s not once disappoint.

Not just the best seafood restaurant I've ever been to, but best restaurant full stop. The food was an absolute luxury. We ordered the seafood platter, and you could taste the freshness in every bite of the seafood. I had the haddock for main which was equally amazing, and that made-in-house tartare sauce was actually out of this world, that's how good it was. The only negative I can point out was that my partner's vegetarian dish- the linguine was a little too oily. But my goodness what an amazing restaurant. I hope to be back for our next special occasion. I also hope to get dessert next time too! The service was immaculate also.

Incredibly good quality food. Very friendly staff. Such flavoursome dishes as well. Best part is that it's good value and me and the other person that went were really well fed for 60 each. Really highly recommend!

Food itself was brilliant. Oysters and fish of the day was fantastic. Deal breaker was being told after our mains that they were going to give me my bill and no dessert or tea or coffee possible as they needed the table back by a very abrupt manager - very poor considering we had arrived 15 minutes early and ordered swiftly from arriving. A real let down on an otherwise good food restaurant. Unfortunately based on the experience wouldn’t recommend to others.

First time to J.Sheekey.
What a gorgeous spot.
So much atmosphere can see why it's so popular.
Had the famed Fish Pie, well worth the price of admission
Highly recommended

Our second visit and just as good as the first.
The building is old styled with a real compact feel yet enduring presence.
There are lots of staff and they are very well managed and trained. The service is sharp, professional yet friendly.
Everything is timed and delivered perfectly.
The food was superb and excellently cooked and presented. All good fish and seafood is expensive these days, but the quality and service justifies.
Booking essential

Delicious dishes for the seafood lover.
Another hidden gem in the heart of London.
A varied menu including the house special 'fish pie'. Excellent wine menu to cater to all tastes and budget. Social distancing and temperature checks at the door. Friendly and attentive service.

One of our favourite restaurants for special occasions, this time my wife's birthday. Food and service up to its usual very high standards which made for a great evening. If in doubt, always go for their fish pie! My one mini gripe is that I've always thought that their wine list is just a little bit more expensive than it needs to be but I guess you get what you pay for. Top restaurant, felt very Covid safe, recommended.

This restaurant's perfect - incredible food and service, great atmosphere and cosy nooks and crannies for a private dining experience. The swordfish, fish pie, creamed greens are some of my favourites. Great wine selection too. Looking forward to you reopening!

Best seafood and fish restaurant! Good food and attentive staff. One of the old restaurant that still keeps its standard.
To keep the place intimidate, no photographs or use of mobile phone is allow. Don't be naughty like me as there was no customer near us, I took a sneeky picture to promote this place as my hobby.

If you are craving seafood then this is the place to be! The double baked cod soufflé was the one standing out from the rest ! The fish bowl dessert is one of its kind. If I am back here next time, I am just going to have the seafood platter for 2 ????

Great meal, oysters were fresh and the fish pie was awesome. Must say not a huge fan of the house martini but was still good and everything else was great. Will be at the top of my list if I'm ever back in town again just for the fish pie.

Superb old school English classy restaurant with superb food (mostly seafood and fish prepared with that delicate touch of experience) and attentive service. A special treat. It was my dream to go there... why did I take so long?. I'm sure to go back as soon as I can.

An absolute homerun! I did have a 93% match here on Maps, and since we didn't have reservation we got seated at the bar. Lucky us! The staff was amazing!!
The food was divine and the off-menu cocktails where just fantastic. Just look at these pictures and judge for yourself

It's a traditional establishment, where several well-known faces have dined as can be seen by the array of photos on the wall and that is the main selling point. The service was good, attentive and helpful but the food was mediocre. We had squid, a little tough and soufflé, okay to start followed by the fish pie, too creamy and the fish curry, also okay. We didn't manage a dessert so can't say but great service and a lacklustre meal ????????♀️

My favourite seafood restaurant. A bonus that it opens late. Seafood platters are big enough for two people. Seabass was the best I've had in a while. Desserts are a must. Highly recommended. Worth the price

Mixed review. Food delicious, had the scallops and the monkfish and prawn curry which was very well cooked. The garden vegetables were delicious and I'd love to know what they were cooked in, and the parmsan courgettes were also very nice.
Though at £28 for the curry - I'm not sure it was the best value for money. Could have overlooked this if service was exceptional, however unfortunately we found the service to be very poor. They had our wine in a bucket and must have forgotten about it as we went through the whole meal with empty glasses, and when we asked for our bill and asked if they could bring our wine over there was half a bottle left (we'd been there for an hour and a half). Server also seemed dismayed when we pointed out we'd been charged for something we didn't have, and took the receipt back and marched off without a word.
Overall, for somewhere I'd heard so much about, disappointing.

The worse seafood plater I had today . I don't know if this restaurant will care about my review but my seafood had sand on it and I couldn't eat it. I expected to be a good quality at that price. So I spent nearly 70 pounds and I couldn't eat it. I feel like I was eating dust. The service guy noticed that on the seafood was sand and offered to take the plate away but did not offer to replace it with a clean one.Very disappointed.

My husband says they served the best ever fish and chips he has had. Two other couples at our table split the dover sole and said it was fantastic. I am not a huge fan of fish, so I had their appetizers of risotto and burrata for my main and was extremely satisfied. Their welsh rarebit is also fantastic.
The interior is fantastic. I particularly like that there are lots of small nooks and niches for tables so the sound never gets overwhelming. The staff, while very busy, is also quite accommodating. Would definitely recommend this place to seafood fans!

J Sheekey has been my favourite restaurant in London for many years and having seen the way they have strived to make things as perfect as ever since opening after the lockdown, it has only cemented their brilliance in my opinion. The ever brilliant, ever charming and ever consciousness team there, Ludo, Joel, Cedric, Luigi, Tim, Daisy, have gone above and beyond to make us all feel safe and welcome. I myself have noticed absolutely no glitches but I would ask fellow diners that in this time have patience and kindness. We are all doing our best in a very changed and somewhat frightening world but the J Sheekey team have and wont fail to disappoint. Bravo to you all and thank goodness the food is as good as ever.

The service was as dry as the seafood.
I had the full Plateau de fruits de mer. Although we might have been unlucky with the first person serving us, as the rest of the service staff was very attentioned.
Seafood was dry and lacking of savour.
