As a lover of seafood, J Sheekey did not disappoint with the quality of food and service.
The interior was classy and classic with a variety of celebrity portraits adorning the walls.
The food was delicious and filling, with my favourite being the massala and pilaf rice, which had a very creamy texture.
Our server Chris gave exceptional service and was very attentive and professional.
There was a lot of choice on the menu, hence, I would love to return to try other dishes.

Food is five stars, but service was a letdown. We ordered the fish and chips, a seafood stew/bisque, tempura shrimp, salmon tartar, and oysters. All were very good, especially the fry on the fish. Perfectly crispy while being moist and flaky inside.
Service however was a big miss. Multiple times we’d had to remind our server, even for things like water.
An otherwise very nice restaurant to dine.

J Sheekey was great!
The portions are huge and absolutely worth it. We ordered both the cold and hot seafood platters, and they were delicious—super fresh and beautifully done.
We sat at the counter bar, which was a fun spot to watch everything happening. Our server was excellent and stayed professional and attentive, even though it looked like there might have been some behind-the-scenes staff drama.
Overall, a really good experience. I’d definitely come back—especially for seafood that fresh! ✨

Another restaurant I had to give a terrible time crunch to on this trip and they handled it expertly. Our flight got moved up (my fault) but I had always planned to go here on my trip to London so we got in at doors and literally had only an hour before we had to run to the airport. They helped watch our luggage and got us in and out quickly, which was a shame because it’s a wonderful place.
I knew we needed two things, The fish and chips and the fish pie as I had heard great things about both. I am pleased to say they both lived up
To the hype. The Fish Pie I have to state was one of the best dishes I had on my entire trip to London, perfect crust, creamy mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked pieces of multiple! types of fish, I think 4! The fish and chips were perfectly flakey and crispy as well.
I would have loved to have more items but sadly it was not the time, but I’m sure I will return on my next trip and ensure better planning on my end

My absolute favourite restaurant in London! I am big fan of the seafood so this restaurant is the best! Whether I want to go for dinner with someone or simply treat myself, this is always my first choice. I love walking in, sitting down, and enjoying my favourite oysters (J Sheekey style!). I’m also obsessed with their main dishes the salmon, cod, and scallops are fantastic. Honestly, every dish is exceptional, and their seafood platter is unbelievably good!
I’m also in love with the atmosphere and the staff. It’s the perfect place to visit when I want to unwind and enjoy truly delicious food. At the desk there’s Raya (or Riya), who is always incredibly welcoming and positive
In general, the whole team is wonderfully friendly and experienced
Overall, this is my favourite spot in London perfect both for a dinner with friends and for those moments when I just want to relax and enjoy excellent dishes
P.S. Counter seating is almost always available without a booking, but if you prefer a table, keep in mind that you’ll need to book in advance

Excellent ‘old school’ restaurant, with a justified reputation for seafood. We went for my son’s birthday and were seated in a really nice booth by the window. There is also seating at the bar which creates a nice atmosphere. The food was very good. I had Halibut (fish of the day) and it was cooked beautifully. My son had the Shellfish platter and really enjoyed it. It’s not the cheapest place but certainly worth a visit !

Nice atmosphere and recommend for a special occasion. The ambience is formal so recommendation tip wear clean and fancy clothes. Service was good. Check the bill at the end there’s a tip charged previously included of about 13% of the final amount so considerate it if you go with limited budget. Lobster was a great choice, well cooked and really tasty.

Outstanding food.
Sophisticated, cozy and comfortable restaurant with friendly staff. I’ve eaten here several times over the last 7 years and I have never been dissapointed with the food or the service.
My first and only negative is the outside area, it used to be open so there was an air flow, there were heaters and blankets, a smoking option, I used to love sitting here, more recently this outside area has been closed in with plastic which I personally find tacky.
Putting the outside area to one side…
I highly recommend this restaurant

We went just before Christmas 25 ,the oysters, lobster and plaice were all fresh and beautifully cooked. The service was top class smiling faces, no empty glasses. The tables are cozy and the atmosphere marvelous. The wine was lovely , also the lovely people who sat beside us. All in all the best experience.

Terrible service. Had a seafood platter for 2 put in front of us, and after a few minutes taken away and replaced with one for 1 for my partner.
On top of the lack of professionalism, this was given to another table which makes me question the food safety of this restaurant. To make matters worse, my partner was still hungry after a £60 platter which arrived cold and didn’t taste fresh. For the cost, I expected a high-quality meal if the portion wasn’t large. In this case, it was cold, the portions were small, and it didn’t taste fresh.
Poor coordination between servers (was asked if I was ready to order 3x by 3 different servers) and some were rude and made faces at us. Really disappointed: my partner and I felt disrespected and we will not be returning. This is the first time I had to make a restaurant complaint.
The desserts that we requested had also ran out. By far one of the most disappointing “high rated” restaurants I’ve been to. Complete contrast to the restaurant I went to for lunch earlier in Valentine’s Day.
UPDATE: Manager was really professional and understanding and provided a remedy. Couldn’t be happier, we wish everyone had the same professionalism and service quality as him.
We strongly recommend that the restaurant improve server coordination and food safety handling.
