Felix Seafood Grill in Basildon

Had a delicious 3 course dinner. Food was presented really well & it ALL tasted lovely. Waitresses were attentive nothing too much trouble. Only complaint was it was very hot & no air con 😕 but will certainly return again soon. Another plus is no enforced service charge but at your discretion so a nice tip was left 😁 a VERY enjoyable evening out.

The best roast dinner of my life. However the service was extremely slow, we waited over an hour and half for our main. Great roast though

Dinner with my partner for an early birthday celebration. Excellent food and service. Exquisite flavours and quality ingredients.

We booked for Valentines Evening. There was no romantic music (in fact music was so quiet you could only hear it in the toilets). We booked on the early sitting but at 8pm the whole restaurant was empty and the atmosphere changed. Overall the food was good albeit there was far too much butter and cream used. A lot of anticipation but it failed on delivery.

A really Great place to eat😋🤓😍( you mostly have to book a slot a couple of weeks in advance) I was very surprised it wasn't even half full 7:30pm Thursday 1st Feb 2024 probably people waiting for Valentine's so the atmosphere was a bit lacking, but the food is amazing although a little pricey approx £70 per person 3 courses average price dishes and 4 sides and a bottle of wine between 4 and a couple of drinks. I had Scallops starters, Halibut main, shared sides sauted potatoes tender stem broccoli roasted veg fine beans and Apple Tarte tatin. The quality of the food and the cooking are spot on the flavours and pairings of the dishes are fabulous. The service is attentive, professional and very polite. Always a real treat to eat the delicious food there, looking forward to going back again !!! Mark

“Great lunch”. All good, service, Food atmosphere. Lunch Menu selection plentiful. Menu reasonably priced.

Out here yesterday for late lunch , service was really good with our waiter Starters were excellent and so were the desserts , my partner ordered a roast pork , but was served with the portion of the pork belly that was being offered with the scallops , veggies and roast potatoes could have been offered in bowls to share with 2 people instead of serving everything in one big plate. Looks like Toby’s in the making - hope not as our previous meal here was absolutely fab sometime in November last year. Surely this can be a quick win for the chef and his team :)

Really friendly, efficient service. My squid starter was really tasty and different to anything I'd seen on any other menu. Husband's salmon also good. But then the main course, OMG. The lobster was as good as any I've had in West End/City restaurants. Husband had Sea Bass. Really well cooked and flavoursome. I was then a complete glutton and had the cheesecake for pudding. Also great. I can't fault anything which annoys me because I love a whinge.

I cannot express what a delight it was for us to have dinner there last night ❤️ The food was exceptional and the staff the most attentive we have experienced locally From the warm welcome and coat check to every whim waited on at our table We never had to fill our own glasses Thanks Archie 😘 Will give it a 5 🌟

The sticky beef salad is outstanding.

Fabulous place with a great lunch time menu. I order the scallops for starters and beef medallions, and it didnt disapoint, will definitely go back again.

Visited for the 5th time on Saturday evening, fantastic food and service as always, my favourite restaurant in Billericay - highly recommended!

I had a set price lunch (£35 for 3 courses) at Felix Billericay with a few friends last Saturday. Despite being a set price menu the portion sizes were more than adequate although veggies were extra but portions large enough to share. We all agreed that the food was outstanding. Despite being busy service was excellent and friendly. If you don't like fish there are also meat and vegetarian options on the menu.

This was our first time at Felix Billericay. Was genuinely surprised at the excellent service, food and vibe for a late afternoon lunch. Really looking forward to going back soon. Staff were so welcoming and the food was delicious. Scallops, Plaice and Monkfish were all good portions and very tasty. We thought the set menu for lunch was a good price.

On high street so find parking elsewhere which is a negative but food was very tasty indeed and looked nice, it was slower to come out I would say that other fine dining establishments that I have been to whoch resulted in no dessert as had another appointment to get to and starters & mains too 3hours to turn around for table of 6 on a quieter Thursday night and hard to get waiting staff attention a number of times but overall had a nice experience and no big issues!

We had never been before, we had some amazing food. We felt very safe, temperature taken, following covid regs. The staff were lovely. Would recommend to anyone. It's now 2023 and we have been back to the Felix in Billericay and you cannot fault anything, it's amazing

As ever the food, service and atmosphere are all good. However over time the prices have increased so it's quite expensive now. Which means expectations rise. Therefore with the overall menu being a little limited especially when items run out and service not quite 5 star (constant reminders to fill up water) and with the light settings being very low hanging from the ceiling this misses out on top marks.

Well worth a visit Excellent food, great service & lovely atmosphere

A fantastic menu with good service. Delicious food, beautifully cooked.

Delicious food, excellent service, lovely surroundings & good atmosphere

The service was absolutely fantastic and the waitress was very helpful, friendly and very beautiful

Great food. So friendly. Expensive but worth it.

First visit here and we were delighted. The service was very professional and the staff pleasant. The food was excellent, a great choice on the menu and everything was very tasty and hot. I would certainly recommend this establishment to anyone and will definitely be back.

Great food lovely staff warm and cosy.

Great place, I would highly recommend 👌

The food is wonderful. The staff are so friendly and attentive. A lovely venue for a family birthday or celebration. Thank you for making my mother’s 80th birthday celebrations so special.

We have visited the Warley restaurant a couple of times before and we were happy to discover this one on our doorstep! Staff were excellent, good drinks selection and lovely food.

Fantastic food and great service.

My partner and I have been here several times and each time has been a lovely dining experience. The food is beautiful, tasty and well presented. The service is friendly and attentive. If you love fish and seafood this is the place for you. There are also steak and other meat dishes on the menu. One of my favourite restaurants.

Went today for the first time. Wow. 10/10! Delicious food, beautiful calm setting and the lunch menu is great value for money. Can’t wait to go back!

Went to Felix for the first time the other week. What a lovely restaurant. Staff were great, menu choice was perfect and the food we ordered was really tasty. It’s not cheap if you having a number of courses and wine, but it is the kind of restaurant that you go to for a special occasion.

We found the whole experience an excellent one. We chose from the fixed price lunch menu and were all delighted with the whole meal. The quality of the ingredients were first class, the fish cooked to perfection and the quantity generous. Particularly evident was the the standard of service, unobtrusive but efficient and professional. Billericay is not blessed by a wide choice of quality dining opportunities but this is a gem, all to rare in this time of generally sub standard food often at outrageous prices. Undoubtedly we will be returning1

If only the service matched the food. This is a very good restaurant, make no mistake, but for the last time I wish they would invest in waiting staff to match. When you produce food of that quality, sending kids to take orders doesn't work. It's not the first time, when you are ordering 50.00 main courses you expect the person with the order pad to understand the menu. Once the confusion was over, the only adult on duty had to triple check it, the food came out right and was A1. Finally, when my American Express card wouldn't work, then told after trying 3 times "we don't accept Amex, something to do with the tax" I gave up. All in all brilliant food, service lacking. Invest in experienced staff and this place is right up there.

First time visit to this lovely restaurant. Had the 2 course lunch menu, which was great value. Everything was delicious, especially the monkfish. Super friendly staff and excellent service. Will definitely return

Tasty food and nice atmosphere but service was nice when we got there then became so slow to the point we filled up on bread and needed to take our entree as take away..

Top-tier food and service. I've eaten in many restaurants, and this was right up there with the best - probably the best. The waitress serving us had a beaming smile and was passionate about the service she provided, which is highly appreciated. I was stuck in two minds about which starter to order, so the waitress offered her opinion. I decided to go with her opinion, and I'm glad I did. All three courses were so good. I couldn't stop telling my partner how good the food is. We ended up trying each others' meals throughout, and we were both so happy. Definitely coming back soon. So good! Thanks to all of the chefs and staff. Loved it!

5 start plus experience! Thanks to Archie for looking after us!

Lovely place to socialise and eat great food with friends - Archie was a wonderful waiter !!

Lovely lunch, great service. Wonderful place to go in Billericay

Been wanting to come here for ages but only just got around to it. Well worth the wait. Beautifully presented, very tasty food, served excellently. And at a very reasonable price as well. Eating out has become quite expensive lately even for chain restaurants but when you compare the cost/food/service of those, Felix is exceptional value for money.

We all thought the food was excellent and the service superb. Extremely attentive, friendly staff. Everywhere was super clean at the tables and the toilets were spotless with Molton Brown soap and handcream. Very pleased that my coat and scarf were hung up neatly with a disk to hand in when leaving. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and would come back again.

Fantastic fresh fish. Very enjoyable experience every time. Had a first date here with my partner and named our son after it.

If this Restaurant was in London, it would still be one of the best fish restaurants. Food & service always excellent.

What has happened to what was one of the best restaurants in Essex. This was (but not anymore) our special occasion restaurant. We recently visited and I ordered a Dover Sole that the chef so over cooked it was like rubber my wife had Halibut again totally over cooked, not good for a fish restaurant. I told the manager about the Dover. Sole only to be told it’s not the best time of year to eat Soles! At £43 a go why is it on the menu. Service was ok but the waitress who served our main meal was chewing gum not good enough for a high end restaurant especially with a bill in excess of £300. As I said this used to be a top restaurant but unfortunately it’s not anymore.

First time visiting this venue and have been to the Warley one many times and this one has the edge. Wow the food was out of this world and all of us were very pleased with our meals. Lovely little restaurant with nice ambience. Will definitely be going back!

We chose from the early evening set menu, on a Wednesday, which was really good value compared to the a la carte options offered later in the evening (although admittedly with different choices). Service was excellent and attentive throughout with our bottle of prosecco chilling in a bucket on the wall and our glasses replenished at the table as needed. It was also nice to experience having our coats taken and hung up for us. I had the mussels for my starter and salmon (with new potatoes) for my mains whilst my wife had the avocado and prawn salad followed by plaice (with chips). In retrospect, we may have ordered a side dish of green vegetables (e.g. beans) to share. We have wanted to try this restaurant for sometime and this was a belated birthday treat. Well worth the wait. Definitely at the fine-dining end of the scale in Billericay. We may return or we may try the 'sister' restaurant in Warley.

Been here 4 times....last night food was not as good as usual. Husband had steamed mussels sauce was tasteless. Then he had skate which was bland no seasoning small not worth the money tasteless also. Such a shame

Booked for a special party for my son’s 18th A big day for us as a family for so many reasons! But they did not make it special! I had to ask several times for drinks, even water! Service was slow, charged for even gif the smallest portion of potatoes. Not at all good value gif money. They did not even let us light his 18th candles I saved for this party for months but it was not worth it!

Food excellent. Drinks very pricey. We had their set lunch.

Wow! I have just had to phone the restaurant manager to express what an amazing meal we have had…. The food was spectacular. Mussels and squid to start. Followed by skate and monkfish. We finished off sharing a cheese board! Absolutely outstanding But the staff were incredible, only young but the care, professionalism, friendliness….. as I said to them they would not be out of place In somewhere like the ritz or savoy up London! Thanks for a truly lovely afternoon

Went here for lunch one Friday. Staff were really friendly and attentative. The set menu when we visited had a good selection of dishes and seemed good value for money. The a la carte menu is quite pricy but possibly worth splashing out for on a special occasion. The food was very well presented and gets full marks for taste! The interior is stylish and there is plenty of space between tables so it wouldn't feel too crowded even if fully booked. I imagine you would need to book on a weekend. Highly recommend a visit.

My wife and had an evening meal recently and I have to say ……Every dish was superb Soft shell crab Prawn cocktail Lobster Thermidor Chips Green beans Crème brûlée All washed down by picpoul de pinet ( good wine list ) both white and red The staff were very nice,restaurant is fairly small but you don’t feel squashed in. Would thoroughly recommend

Nice Sunday roast. The service was a little slow, but the food was worth waiting for.

Hadnt visited for a few years, and happy to say a small improvement on my last experience. Pretty busy service but table was ready on time, and staff were good. Food was very quick to arrive, was well cooked and tasty. Decent atmosphere and we had a nicely positioned table. Will be back soon.

Really disappointed that customer service seems to have been abandoned. Have visited this restaurant numerous times over the years and always left there more than happy, impressed by the great service & attention to detail. Sadly it would appear that a change in senior management has resulted in them being more focused in overbooking the restaurant, resulting in the kitchen not being able to cope, leaving the waiting staff having to make excuses to placate upset customers. Food when arrives is lovely.

Had a meal at Felix with my husband tonight and I just want to say credit where credits due…. A big thank you to Archie and Lucy who were amazing waitress/waiter at Felix and a huge credit to the restaurant. Very professional, well mannered and very attentive! Thank you for a lovely experience with Incredible food as always!

Amazing food and amazing service ... 5 *****

Always exceptional food and service. Never disappointed.

We only found this restaurant a few months ago and it's quickly become one of our all time favourites. We've been so impressed that we've started to bring friends along and they've fallen in love too. The service has always been absolutely perfect, Laura the manager manages to get the balance between being warm and personable and super-efficient just right. The knock on effect is that her staff are amazing too. Food is exceptional. We've eaten off all the menus (even the roast beef on Sunday) and not had a bad dish yet. We are real foodies and over the years we've been to loads of Michelin starred restaurants and Felix is right up there with the best. The sea-life décor is relaxing, the background music is just perfect - literally nothing to fault. Even one of my normal restaurant bugbears of seating too close to other people isn't an issue here. Felix ticks all the boxes for a relaxing date night/family get-together/etc. It's also super-friendly - all the staff are like the cream of the crop in terms of front of house.

Very nice, particularly enjoyed my battered piece of cod.

Expensive, but we'll worth the money, great service great Sunday roast

Ate here with friends and received a warm friendly welcome from all the staff on arrival. The menus were varied and there was plenty of choice for us all. In fact we took quite a while choosing as there was so much. Between us four...

Lovely restaurant and great food. Lobster Thermidor was to die for. Service was spot on in every way. Thank you Kay for making our evening special. We will definitely be back.

Let me first say that we have dined here on numerous occasions and found the food excellent and the service exceptional. On this basis, when my sister and husband came for a visit, I had no hesitation in booking Felix for a special night out....

Good food, wine, service and atmosphere. Will certainly return.

Excellent fish range and very attentive staff

Fantastic service. Very friendly and attentive. I had the steak which was great. My friend had the fruit de mer, a selection of seafood including lobster which he said was amazing. This is not a cheap place to eat but the food is a cut...

Lovely place food exceptional and wonderful staff - beautiful surroundings

Absolutely delicious food and excellent service. The scallop salad to start was amazing as was the prawn, crab and avocado. My mum loved the smoked salmon. The main of surf and turf was large, great value considering the quality of the ingredients, and my family...

Really good food. Good value. Staff need to dress smarter.

It’s say a fine dinning experience on the restaurant’s page! That’s a lie and far from that! When we entered the restaurant there was a woman on reception who didn’t even show Eye contact or say hello ! A server came over her name was...

Simply a fantastic meal. My girlfriend and I went to this restaurant last weekend and, as per our first visit at the end of last year, were so impressed with the food, service, ambiance, etc. This is not the cheapest of places but, certainly for special occasions, cannot be beaten in Billericay. We both had the steaks (I don't eat fish and she didn't want steak envy!) which were succulent, juicy, very generous, and perfectly cooked to order. We also had some lovely red wine and a couple of cocktails to finish. At no point did we feel rushed, leading to a wonderful, relaxing evening with fantastic food. Seriously a place not to be missed, even if you don't eat fish (although I hear the fish is pretty good too!)

Lovely restaurant, good service but very little non fish options making difficult for bigger groups as there is always someone who only eats chicken ...

Food was fantastic - Truly unparalleled. Service was abysmal - Very disappointing. At this price point, the food is spot on, but the service is dreadful.

Food was excellent with an extensive choice to suit everyone and staff were very attentive. This was our 3rd visit and couldn’t fault a thing. Would definitely recommend.

Visited last week and our visit was faultless.my wife is dairy and gluten intolerant and this was catered for qith ease, service was excellent

Great meal. Great service. Will visit again.

Families with children are not welcome. Arrogant staff almost had pleasure in refusing entry which ruined a young child’s birthday. Well done.

I've visited on many occasions and is yet to disappoint. The sticky beef is delicious!

Absolutely delicious meal. Excellent service and attention to detail.

Tasteless, potatoes I couldn't even swallow were so dry. Not worth the money.

Excellent as ever. Family favourite and nice to go back to the more intimate Billericay original. If you like seafood and good service, you know where to go.

Had lunch here and we cannot fault the food. The set lunch is exceptional value. We visited last year after lockdown restrictions were lifted and found the food as always delightful. Unfortunately we spent the entire meal feeling very cold. We didn’t complain then as...

Beautiful food if you like good fresh seafood but very pricey! ... a comfortable relaxing feel to it.

Had a lovely lunch really enjoyed it.

Fantastic roast and service. Would go again.

We enjoyed a delicious meal here to celebrate our 21st anniversary. From the moment we walked in the staff were extremely welcoming. Our waitress Megan was attentive, professional and friendly. The food was superb, wine choice varied and great cocktails! I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Felix...

Excellent food, well.presented, very helpful staff, not cheap but well worth the money!

Top notch dining experience food top notch

My new favourite restaurant in Billericay!

Stunning food, friendly staff and atmosphere

Amazing food , service all lovely

Pleased with food and service so yes I was happy.

Absolutely 1st Class. This was our 1st visit and we were not disappointed one bit!! The waitress staff were fantastic the atmosphere fantastic again!! The food was oh so good perfectly cooked we honestly could not fault this wonderful restaurant… I can only say you...

We attended to Felix for our work Christmas meal. Sticky beef is full of flavour and the cheese board is exceptional. Staff are chatty, fun and very professional. Thank you Felix!

Best seafood restaurant in Essex. Highly recommended .

Right from opening the door the service and ambience was superb. Starters and main course faultless as was the service. Thanks to all for a perfect evening. We will be back !!

Great service and great food, Highly recommend . Well done to all the team.

Good, but not as good as it was, over priced too, small restaurant one of you looking at the wall in most seats
