FishWorks - Marylebone in City of London, Westminster

The restaurant has all the fresh seafood displayed out front, so you can see what you’re getting. The table setup was simple. We started with the quinoa salad (3/5) and tuna carpaccio (2.5/5). The tuna was fresh, but the sauce was way too salty for me—pretty sure they used fish sauce. For mains, we had the seafood & samphire linguine (5/5) the seafood grill (3.5/5), and the veganesca linguine (5/5). The seafood pasta had a lot volume, and I really enjoyed it. Just wish I had asked for parmigiano since they don’t offer it. The seafood grill came with a scallop that I wasn’t a fan of because it had breadcrumbs on top, the prawns were decent, and the fillets were fresh and full of flavor. Thankfully, they were nicely salted. The veganesca linguine was freshly made, and the nuts added a nice crunch. For dessert, we got the brownie with ice cream (5/5) —it was perfect, gone in seconds. As for drinks, we went with juices since we don’t drink alcohol. They weren’t freshly made, but we didn’t really mind. The staff were attentive, but the restaurant can get really busy and loud. Overall, I’d recommend it!

Great menu, cozy vide! Food was delicious!

I have visited Fishwork multiple times, and unfortunately, this time the fish & chips did not meet the usual high standards I have come to expect. It was too oily, whereas the batter is normally light, crispy, and not greasy. Of course, an off night can happen, but I encourage you to keep an eye on quality and maintain the excellent level you usually offer.

Food was amazing, staff also very helpful, I enjoy a lot

Fishworks is definitely my Number 1 seafood restaurant in London. I had dinner with my niece and, as always, it was an amazing experience. She had the deboned Dover sole and I had the Seafood Bouillabaisse. We also shared starters of mussels, bread, olives and grilled shrimps. Exquisite! This small, intimate and lovely place continues to deliver the freshest, tastiest, healthiest fish and seafood in town. The staff are outstanding, the food is excellent, the wine list is robust and the ambience is exceptional. A wonderful restaurant that is Top rated. Thank you for the pleasure you provide us with your service, your meals and your offerings. We will definitely keep coming back.

First time here excellent food and service Would definitely return

It was my first visit in 8 years since 2017, and it was just as wonderful as I remembered. This cozy restaurant has a great atmosphere and is the perfect place to enjoy a clean, seafood-focused meal when you're feeling a bit tired of meat dishes. The mussel stew, prawn dishes, and bread were all delicious. The wine list was also quite impressive. I’ll definitely visit again on my next trip to London!

One of my favourite places! Will definitely be coming again.

Good location. Good food. Service a bit patchy but on the whole a good place to go to (if you like fish)

Excellent seafood, very fresh and perfectly cooked.

Overrated Service was bad. The wait staff wasn’t friendly. Maybe we are Asians and our English was so-so. The oysters are super small and the 15 pounds Chardonnay wasn’t good at all. Dont recommend.

We spent a very nice time.The food and service was amazing.Thank you so much.

Our first time and really enjoyed it. The fish, service and ambiance were all excellent and hope to go back.

A very pleasant good quality fish lunch for 2 in a very casual environment.

Great business lunch at Fishworks Marylebone. The seafood grill and the grilled scallops were amazing. Thank you very much team for.the great time and great service.

Great welcome, and service. Good selection on the menu. well presented and food arrived hot.

good friendly service, good food, good choice on menu with specials

To be honest, my last visit was very disappointing but this visit with friends was very good. Fish was fresh and crispy and service as always very good.

Fresh seafood, good service from welcome to end, finishing off with a delicious fruit crumble dessert.

I was very pleased to see that there was a separate Gluten free menu, having recently had a Gluten problem. A good number of choices and my companion could eat from the full menu. It definitely puts Fishworks high up on the list for regular visits.

Scallops in breadcrumbs were nicely cooked. Halibut steak and crushed olive mash were really poor. It was difficult to believe that dish was cooked by a chef. This was on a Monday lunchtime.

Food is very fresh and delicious 😋

Prime location with excellent service. Two courses for £37 was ok but nothing special. Decor unremarkable. Good wine choices.

Been there many times. Food on the last occasion was top quality as usual. Staff were great - efficient and with a sense of humour and not hurried.

Always really, really good. Food is exceptional and service is top notch. We continue to bring friends and family for an outstanding experience.

Excellent food and service and would deffo go again

Don’t be fooled by the shop window, a hidden gem. Fresh fish daily. Had Oysters and champagne to start followed by the best fish n chips possible. Friendly staff who obviously enjoy there chosen profession . Can’t recommend highly enough . Travelled an hour and half both ways just come back 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The restaurant has so much potential, but sadly, the fish was overcooked, which put a damper on an otherwise promising experience.

Good menu and great quality of the fish. Seabass was excellent.

Our 5th meal at Fishworks. Always great food and wine, always good value. Just one suggestion: The service has always been just a LITTLE BIT tense whenever we are there. Always good, if not very good but just a bit tense. My personal suggestion would be to ‘relax’ just a bit 🤔

The food was amazing. It's a restaurant I go to quite often. Wonderful fresh fish.

I have been eating here for years - local and dependable.

I had a lovely dinner here with a dear friend last night. Amazing food, great service, a nice & cozy ambience in a clean and intimate space. The food was cooked to perfection. We had mussels to start and the seafood bouillabaisse & whole lobster thermidor as mains. The service and attention was impeccable (Lorenzo was great!). Thank you for yet another delicious meal. Will be back again soon.

Delicous fish cooked perfectly. Slightly too expensive. Good service .

Always good standard in food and service . Quite expensive like all restaurants in central London

Tucked away behind the fish stall, it’s a hidden gem… don’t tell anyone it can be our secret 😉

Relaxed dinner at Fishworks for catchup. We all enjoyed our meals - I went for the Christmas menu which had a great selection of starters and mains. I chose the scallops and salmon. The salmon in particular was delicious and the portion was good. A good value set menu. Although members of the group were late, the staff struck the right level of attention and came over to ask newly arrived people what they'd like to drink. We were not rushed and were left to order and settle up at our own pace. I'd like to return again soon for the festive menu.

Delicious food. We enjoyed it all. The staff were attentive and very helpful.

Had the whole lobster with garlic butter and it was just OK. The brownie was light and airy, and the pistachio ice cream was ok.

Delicious food! I do come back to this restaurant when I am in Marylebone area. Strongly recommend!

Great choice and delicious food. Wasn't keen on choice of dessert. Too much of the sme type of thing.

It was a a great experience, the food and service was great, the only issue is the seating we had. Although I made clear we were on a date night we were sat right by the entrance and the waiters table. Slightly poor decision making there, bit everything else was great.

The host fit us in, as we hadn't booked. They were busy, so we were very appreciative. Our meal was fabulous. I had the halibut and chips and my husband had the king scallops and tuna fillet for main. All was delicious. The chocolate brownie and ice cream was amazing afterwards. The chocolate ice cream is one of the best we have had anywhere. Will be back xxx

Nice food - not cheap /good service Soulless atmosphere

Delicious meal with friends on a quiet Monday night. The Dover soles were spectacular and very reasonably priced

Good value for the money in central london. Service was a little slow but it’s was busy. Customer service could do with some skills training.

We tried the FishWorks Tasting Platter for two (£90), and it was absolutely worth it. This three-tiered masterpiece was a true showcase of the sea’s best. Starting at the top, the crispy fried fish and samphire were a deliciously light way to kick things off – perfectly seasoned with a satisfying crunch. On the second tier, the grilled fillets of sea bass, wild prawns, scallops, and sea bream were tender and fresh, each one bursting with flavour. You could taste the quality of the seafood with every bite. Finally, the base tier was an indulgent spread of oysters, mussels, clams, Devon crab, and crevettes on ice – all wonderfully fresh and chilled to perfection. The oysters in particular were briny and smooth, a real treat for oyster lovers. Overall, the tasting platter was a generous and well-curated selection that felt worth every penny. FishWorks does seafood beautifully, creating a memorable experience for any seafood lover!

Food and service were excellent. However we had a number of discrepancies on our bill. My wife had three courses off the main a la carte menu whilst I had the set price Christmas menu (+£5 supplement for Halibut). When the bill arrived, my 3 courses were charged at prices off the main a la carte menu - a total of £66.2 making a total go £158.70 to which was added a service charge of £19.84, ie 12.5% of £178.54. (My wives choices were priced correctly) I advised the waiter politely that there was an error. After checking, the waiter advised that there had been an error an a a correction of £18.20 was applied - I and an amendment of £18.20 was applied. However, the difference in price between the set menu and the prices of the a la carte menu should have been £24.20. Further the service charge was left unchanged at £19.84 which after some other more minor discrepancies left a bill of £154.71 which I settled yesterday evening. However, when checking the bill, the price of the meal should have been £134.50 to which a service charge of £16.81 (12.5% of £134.5) making a correct total £151.31, ie still less than what we actually paid. The manageress admitted that there were issues with the billing system and apologised - however it is somewhat inexplicable that there were so many compounding issues. The difference between the first bill presented and the amount paid was nearly £25 and even then we over charged a further £3. If these errors were being repeated across the restaurant, that represents a systemic issue in favour of the restaurant which of course would need to be reported to the authorities. Just to repeat my first comment, the food and service were excellent.

We were really lucky to have found this great fish restaurant. The restaurant is beautifully bright and cosy, the service is courteous without being intrusive and the fish and seafood were excellent

We had a really great meal and excellent service. Would definitely recommend and will go back soon.

Always consistently good food and exceptional service. Food is super fresh.

Our oysters were very good but served still attached to their shell which made them difficult to eat. In the UK it is usual for the shucker to detach the oyster from the shell. The halibut steak was cooked and presented very well. However the taste was very bland with little flavour. This dish needs to be served with a sauce to complement an outstanding and expensive fish.

We have lunch here from time to time and always enjoy the food and the service. Lovely halibut steaks. We will be back.

Had a very tasty meal at Fishworks, the food was very good, the place was nice -although a little noisy. Unfortunately, our waiter was not the best and made a couple of errors, however the management resolved this - very much to our satisfaction. My partner had Dover Sole that was cooked very nicely. I had the surf and turf which was OK, not much meat on the lobster and the sauce tasted like tomato soup. But the steak, chips and sides were good. The prawn starter was excellent. Would probably return as there aren’t too many fish places in this area.

Excellent …. Little bit busy but way catered for … all the staff work as a team

Very disappointed. We were seated for 45mn waiting for our dish to arrive. The waiter did not once come to tell us why it was taking so long. Eventually I asked. And dishes were brought to us within 10mn with the excuse: they had to fillet the fish. Meanwhile a guy came after us, sat down, ordered, had a starter and a main, paid and left! All that while we were still waiting for our meal. We did not stay for dessert even though it was for a birthday and it was mentioned when I booked. They even forgot the sauce on my daughter’s dish. Ruined our meal to be honest even though the fish was nice!

I always enjoy my meals at this restaurant. Benny the fish monger has been a good friend for years and I always feel welcome. Service was very kind and friendly. The Seared Yellow fin tuna was delicious and memorable. It was perfectly cooked just as I had requested it. My only disappointment was the portion size. When I last had lunch at this restaurant a few years ago the dish was a whole tuna steak cooked to perfection. During my latest visit I was served four small slices of tuna which made an already expensive dish all the more expensive. The meal did end on a positive note as the brownie with vanilla ice cream I ordered for dessert was rich and delicious. I always feel well looked after and enjoy my experience at this restaurant but it will have to be an occasional treat in the future.

Never disappointed in great Customer Service with wonderful food!

The fish was delicious, the waiters were very friendly and very welcoming. I recommend!

There moules was delicious & I had delicious seafood pasta & my husband had great mackerel on a bed of chicory (to be honest he wasn’t a fan) but it was it what he ordered but the manager quickly rectify the mistake & it was complimentary after the bill came & it a Wonderful gesture. He could have waited for his order but it would take too long. And the apple & raspberry crumble certainly made up for it. It was delicious ! The service was impeccably & attentive. It was our first time so we will go back. Thank you

So…….. Smoke Salmon starter . Not bad but why serve with toast ?? Had fish from the specials , somewhat dry , uninspired mash and sauce. Service odd , but acceptable. Won’t be rushing back.

Food was delicious and server was very attentive. The fish and chips was very good and fish soup was excellent

The restaurant is clean and light. Specials boards on two walls so no-one has to crane their neck. Service attentive and friendly. We had the Scottish halibut special and the sea bass with carrots and chips, both delicious, accompanied by a very nice bottle of chenin blanc. A really nice meal.

Really wonderful fresh fish cooked perfectly. Great friendly staff.

Excellent food with many choices. Lovely wait service.

Excellent staff, food choice also, especially catch of the day.

This was my third visit. As always I received a warm welcome and was made to feel at ease, although I was eating alone. My cocktail (limoncello spritz ) was lovely - not dilute as such cocktails often are. I chose Scottish smoked salmon with sourdough as started and traditional bouillabaisse to follow with a side of green vegetables. Everything was delicious. The vegetables have both flavour and bite and the broth was perfectly made using quality fish stock. For desert I chose the apple and raspberry crumble and asked for ice-cream with it rather than custard. It is often disappointing that even good restaurants serve disappointing coffee - not this one!

Loved it 🥰great experience, food was fresh and tasty, lovely staff. Will come again 10/10

Very friendly staff , good quality food . We had an early dinner before going to the theatre.

Highly recommended, good fish dishes. Nice service, quite place... I liked the atmosphere. Not busy and noisy like other places. Halibut and scallop are must orders to try. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Every time I come to London I visit this restaurant one day for lunch . I travel solo and am always cosseted and fussed over. I had a delicious grilled bream followed by an expresso panne cotta. The later I could done without. It was pure greed. They know fish here and how to cook it.

Really gone downhill Food miserably bad (the black butter sauce with ray wing almost inedibly bad; and with the really thin slices of 'tuna steak' came a sauce that seemed to be soy sauce with extra lashings of salt.

Fantastic fish including the skate wing and Haddock. Beautifully cooked and presented. Nice portion sizes.

This is London’s hidden gem; it’s an unsuspecting fish market at the front m, but inside it’s a nice simplistic atmosphere with the best and freshest fish in London and easily one of the top in the whole UK. I’d order the tarama salata as part of my last meal, along with the sea bass. 5/5

As previously mentioned by others entrance is deceiving even when aware. However once through the shop is the restaurant. We opted for a sharing sea bass cooked in salt, some new potatoes and some bread. Fabulous!

Fishworks on Marylebone High Street is more than a restaurant it's also a fishmonger in it's own right. Benny who heads up the team in the fishmongers is extremely knowledgeable and always points you to the freshest fish, delivered daily from the South Coast and Cornwall. It's also cheaper than the Farmer's market! We're lucky to have this facility as there are not many of them left in London. The restaurant also serves the freshest fish with daily specials and has a broad array of wines to go with the food as well as making fish and chips to take away.

I have been coming here since I moved to Marylebone. It is my favorite part of my day ;). Seeing Ben and the other staff is such a joy. Ben is so knowledgeable and always offers the best fish & filets to perfection. I have learned a lot about cooking various fish from him. There has been some change in people & I am always sad to see mongers go but he always makes sure to hire excellent replacements!

Food was delicious and service perfect!

Food was lovely and staff were very nice and patient as my friend was late arriving but we never felt rushed. It’s not a cheap place to eat but the quality is great and quite filling. Overall enjoyed dining at FishWorks and would recommend.

The staff were great. Really attentive and friendly. We had the three tier sharing platter. It was good. Not the best. The fish didn't feel as fresh or as high quality I thought we'd get and the crispy fish was a little too oily. I think if I visited again I'd get something from the main dishes

We love this place. Fresh fish and friendly service. The fish display looks lovely and has lots to choose from. We had sea bass and oyster 🦪

Don’t be deceived by the exterior and front of restaurant which is a fish market. The best fish and chips. We will definitely be going back here before we leave London.

Don’t be discouraged by the fish market in the entry. Keep walking. Halibut fish and chips are excellent. Too bad we live 4000 miles away.

Great food and service as always. High quality fish at a reasonable price. Nice atmosphere and very good service

Best fish and chips ever Great service Thank you I shall be back

A disappointing lunch after going on a recommendation. ( If only I had read there reviews before) Let’s get straight to the point the service is not great along with the food. We dinned as a table of 5, starters to be fair were quite good however the mains just didn’t cut it. If you like fish and chips with bones in this is the plaice to go. Steaks were very fatty and if you order a blue steak be warned it might come medium well. The lobsters were also over cooked just like the steaks. Concluding this review I’d say leave it alone however in their defence they might of just got our table completely wrong.

Had sea/fish platter for two. Try as we might were unable to finish and had to take rest home to finish... Excellent oh and the gelato... I would go there just for that...

Service was very good. Good selection of food. The only disappointment was the fish (cod) and chips was mor batter than fish.otherwise could not fault the food.

My daughter and I had a few days in London and were looking for a place to have dinner that had salmon and or bass on the menu with decent healthy sides. We came across Fishworks online and they had availability within an hour so we decided to make a reservation. The place was a little on the small side, though it did not necessarily feel cramped and the service was great. We both opted for the bass with new potatoes and a variety of vegetables, and were not disappointed. The prices were reasonable in comparison to other places, though as a non Londoner, I’ll always think London is an expensive city. Definitely one to go back to if ever in London again.

A wide selection of fresh fish and crustacea, very well cooked and presented with excellent service. If you like fish, FishWorks is highly recommended.

The food was amazing ! The service excellent as well ! I absolutely recommend this restaurant for fish and seafood !

Very attentive knowledgeable staff. Relaxing and casual ambience. We ordered the grilled fish selection, a salad, and green beans. Chocolate brown and the Panna cotta. The wine pairing was excellent. Nice touch having the fish mongers at the front. You can purchase some on the way out.

We’ve been to Fishworks a number of times & it’s usually been good, but yesterday was not. It was busy, the service was slow & the food disappointing. The blacked mackerel, which I’d had previously & was good, so chose again, but this time it wasn't. The other person had the seafood pasta & that was also disappointing. It took ages for the food to arrive. Of the sourdough bread, we had while waiting, the brown was fine, however, one slice of the white was dry. Altogether a less than enjoyable lunch. Based on the above we will not be going again.

Same ol Fish works, good quality fish, always recommend

Food was superb - tuna tartare/ mixed grill and panna cotta all lovely

The food is very fresh and test good eshame for the chips they are not home made frozen bag not expecting that. Especially when we paid 500 pounds for 5 people's 😒

Good food, but service was atrocious, felt like we were intruding on the waitress, no warmth and no top of drinks/ask if food was okay/ask if we needed any sauces with our food. I won’t be coming back.

As usual a great experience. Only disappointment was the bread and its cost

I love this restaurant so much. The selection of fish and seafood is incredible. Great quality. Great service.

The food at Fishworks is incredibly reliable - really good from appetisers through mains to dessert. The fish soup is excellent, the fish is always super-fresh, everything was delicious. However, three of four guests at our table received their starters over 20 minutes before the fourth person despite asking several times (and the missing starter was only mackerel pate so just needed to be plated, not cooked) - very frustrating. And the restaurant was excessively noisy - not because customers were bing noisy but because there Arte no soft furnishings to baffle the sound making everyone speak increasingly loudly and thereby sending the noise level higher all the time. We have been coming here for years but this time felt let down.
