J Sheekey in City of London, Westminster

Top tier Fish and Chips. Great service, very friendly and keeps you on time if you are on your way to a show.

Not cheap but super classy atmosphere, food and service.

Lunch here was delicious and the service was excellent

Our lunch here was exquisite. A place to go if you’re feeling a bit flush and want a real treat. The variety of choices on the menu meant we took a while to decide! We sat at the bar, the atmosphere seemed slightly livelier elsewhere (hence not 5 stars here). Would definitely recommend. Great location, too.

Dined alone and it was a terrific experience. Sat at a beautiful bar, enjoyed excellent, professional service and my fish and veg were fresh and perfectly prepared. The team here is top notch. This sets the high bar for other restaurants. Thank you to everyone who made me feel welcomed.

Lovely atmosphere. Delicious food, an easy to get to location. Much more depth inside than outside.

A lovely premium restaurant with great service and fabulous food.

Great fish place in the heart of London. Lots of history.

A must stop for every theatre fan. The food is delicious and the service impeccable.

Este lugar ha estado en nuestra lista de cosas que hacer durante años, y finalmente tuvimos la oportunidad de ir en nuestro 30 aniversario de boda. Wow! La comida era increíble, una gran elección de pescado fresco, unas frutas impresionantes - de - mer, una carta de vinos maravillosa con media botella de garrafas que nos permitió probar algunas cosas diferentes, todo lo cual fue excepcionalmente bien con el marisco y el pescado. Fue genial del restaurante para hacer algo especial para nuestro día especial. Fuimos a - la - carta, ya que era un evento especial, pero el menú de almuerzo establecido era muy razonable y probablemente sería nuestra opción - a la próxima vez. Gracias especialmente a Chris y Pratigya por el maravilloso servicio.

I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant! The service is exceptional, with a staff that is not only attentive and professional but also incredibly kind and welcoming. The food is delicious, all within a cosy atmosphere. An overall fantastic dining experience!

A lunchtime Mother’s Day occasion turned into a disastrous and potentially seriously dangerous afternoon. Having eaten here on many occasions in the past we took our elderly mother out for lunch. One hour into the meal I was sick in the restaurant’s restroom and then for the following 24 hours was incredibly ill with sustained acute vomiting, diarrhoea and severe stomach cramps. Seven days later I am still feeling the effects. Whilst I accept that there is always an element of risk with eating raw seafood, this episode has not been handled at all well by the management. I contacted the restaurant via their website and was emailed back that a manager would phone me at my convenience. I replied with my phone availability. Five days later I have yet to receive any further contact whatsoever. Thankfully it was me who was ill and not my 86 year old mother as I suspect a trip to A&E would have been on the cards. Understandably I am hesitant to return.

We had an amazing first visit to Sheeky’s to celebrate a birthday. The food, service and atmosphere were all top notch. We will be back!

Wow, what can I say, an incredible all round meal. I can’t remember the last time I had a meal where all three courses were as good as the ones I had at J. Sheekey. The staff were incredibly attentive and even brought out a ‘Happy birthday’ dessert for my partner which he loved. For starters we had the dressed Portland crab and the cheddar soufflé, the soufflé was so light and fluffy with just the right amount of cheese. I then ordered the monkfish and tiger prawn masala, and wow, it was great. The monkfish itself was so soft and the prawns really let out a chargrill flavour. My partner ordered the ray wing which he thoroughly enjoyed. Finally, the desserts, my partner ordered the honeycomb ice cream with hot chocolate sauce and he won’t stop talking about it! Something so simple, but so great, a generous portion too. I had the raspberry and pistachio cake which was so light, and fluffy, and the sharpness of the raspberries really complimented the pistachio cake. Overall, an incredible meal, with great staff in a great location. I’ll be coming back.

one star for the nice waiters. But the food is unflavoured, unseasoned , heavily salted cold garbage. The portions were ridiculous. Apparently it’s a “French” style but I know what good food is and not at all a picky eater and that was disgusting. It caters for old white people taste which is probably why it’s still in business.

My wife and I were due to fly from London to Miami on 21st March but were grounded due to the fire near Heathrow and ended up staying in a hotel in St Martin's Lane. We popped into J Sheekey on the off chance of having some lunch and we were lucky enough to get seats at the bar. The front of house staff were excellent and understanding of our situation. They made an awful day more bearable. The oysters and bubbles broke the ice and the seafood stew was great even though neither of us had much of an appetite as we knew we would not make the cruise that we had booked many months ago and were really looking forward to.

We had a lovely birthday lunch here. The staff were excellent - friendly, informative and professional. The food was excellent as were the wine choices. Lively atmosphere. We felt very looked after.

Delicious food and exceptional service. We were made very welcome with our baby (mess and all).

A wonderful restaurant in the heart of London. Great service and an well thought out menu.

Ambiente brillante en el bar y gran personal. Bonitas ostras, aunque mis papas fritas eran un poco sosas. Mi único "pero" es que no me gusta que el cargo por servicio se añada a la factura. El personal debería recibir una remuneración por lo que hace, no estoy aquí para subvencionar salarios bajos. No es ingenioso añadir esto. A mucha gente, yo incluido, le da vergüenza pedir que se lo quiten, por lo que deja un mal sabor de boca (mira lo que hice allí) .

Absolutely amazing food and an incredibly attentive team. Everything we had was fresh and bursting with flavor — no shortcuts, no processed ingredients, just quality dishes made right. I’m introducing a “sneeze rating” to my reviews going forward (a fun way to rate how un-fresh a place feels). Most spots that claim to serve fresh food still sneak in something processed… not here. J Sheeky earns a perfect Zero Sneeze Rating. Well done, and thank you!

Very disappointing. The starters were excellent quality but the lobster thermidor main course was poor. The sauce lacked depth and flavour, it tasted like a bland white sauce on top of which cheese had been grated. The waiters were nonchalant and didn’t give the service of previous visits. What a shame that standards have slipped.

What a delightful suprise in the theatre district. J Sheekey is a must for any seafood lover! The service was phenomenal and the plates were equivalent to Michelin star restaurants. Oyster menu is vast and main courses are the perfect portion size. Flavor profiles are indescribable, one must go experience J Sheeky for themselves.

What a place, we went there as last minute option…wow !!! Fresh fish, from oysters ( see picture ), tiger prawns, just wow !! Very good experience, big thank you to Arien that help us step by step to choice the best dish and always on top for everything we had !! Well recommended !!

Había querido visitar a J Sheekey durante varios años y no me decepcionó. Servicio impecable, comida deliciosa y gran ambiente. Un poco caro, pero vale la pena

As always this is an amazing restaurant. It's not cheap but you get phenomenal food and excellent service. Felt a little rushed off the table at the end but they are clear about how long you have.

We had the best time. Service was of a very high standard and the food was amazing. The attention to detail was just spot on.

If you like seafood and great service, then this is the plaice for you

Preciosa comida previa al teatro, gran servicio y excelente calidad de la comida. Consistentemente buen restaurante. El ambiente era fabuloso.

I went to Sheekeys today after it was highly recommended by friends. What an amazing place! Really unique and special. The food was delicious and the whole team built our meal around the show we were seeing... We had an amazing meal, drinks, laughter and VIP treatment. Cristian was brilliant. Such a gentleman. A really pleasure and I'm glad now I can start recommending the place too.

Hoy he ido a Sheekeys después de que fuera muy recomendable por amigos. ¡Qué lugar increíble! Realmente único y especial. La comida estaba deliciosa y todo el equipo construyó nuestra comida alrededor del espectáculo que estábamos viendo. . . Tuvimos una comida increíble, bebidas, risas y trato VIP. Cristian era brillante. Qué caballero. Un verdadero placer y me alegro de poder empezar a recomendar el lugar también.

The price here is very reasonable for modest fish dishes. A small “Dover plaice” for 55 GBP + vegetables 8.00 GBP + potatoes 8.00 GBP + 1 small water 4.00 GBP + Coperto 2.00 GPP + 13.5% Servivecharge makes a mere 110.00 Euro for 1 person and a plated meal that was cooked to a very standard standard. Ok, lots of photos on the walls of film and political greats from the past day. But 110 euros for lunch for 1 person?

Food was okay! the fish pie was great, but the fish and chips were not so great. It’s better other places in London. Fun evening but not worth the price.

Incredibly mouthwatering and tasty food (which is good because the prices can get steep) ! Wonderful seafood and a very famous location. Lovely photos of famous theatre actors/ tress who have eaten there.

Excellent location in the theatre district, very elegant and relaxed atmosphere, our waiter was very friendly and accommodating of our late arrival. The menu is mainly fish and shellfish. All our food was perfectly cooked. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality and experience make it worth it. Would definitely eat here again.

The food from start to finish was amazing and very tasty! I took the monkfish curry which was very good, I'm pleased I selected this because my wife who ordered a cod fillet was slightly disappointed by the size of her dish whereas the curry was suitably filling. For the desert I took my favourite - sticky toffee pudding and this was one of the best I've had. Not too dry, just right. It's quite an expensive restaurant but you do get what you pay for, great service and food.

Having seen the food pics, I've been wanting to go for a while.. Took the opportunity to go for an after theatre dinner as it was limited in choice over how many restaurants were open at that time.. Booked the set meal as thought it would be quick for them and us considering it would be late.. 10.30pm.. It was packed when we got there and waiter stood by us demanding our drink order.. I asked for 2 mins as we hadn't even had the opportunity to open the menu seeing as he asked the moment he handed it to us.. He was really unhappy about me asking him to come back in 2 mins..! When he did, we gave our order and he asked what we wanted for food.. I said I'd booked the set menu so could we please have the menu.. Ha walked off in a huff, came back with ONE menu for the 4 of us.. he then asked what we wanted, I asked for a couple of mins so we could look at the menu.. He then proceeded to tell me it was late and we had to order.. I said yes, but could we have 2 mins to see what was on the menu.. The food was really good.. so worth visiting for that.. what I will say is, if you're going to open late, then surely we are allowed same courtesy as other diners..? If you don't want us there, then close earlier..? We ordered really quickly and ate as quickly as possible, there were still people there when we left.. but it made for the experience really uncomfortable and I can't say I'd go again.. Btw, instead of giving me a bottle I asked for, he gave my friend and I a glass each.. probably fearing we'd be there ages drinking.. but a bottle between 4 ppl is literally just over a glass each anyways.. 😂 I hate giving negative reviews but just feel he was rude and it wasn't necessary. if you offer to open late, then you need to provide the same level of service, perhaps giving us the heads up that kitchen would close soon would have been much more tactful..

We wanted a seafood restaurant before going to the theatre. What a find! The staff were welcoming and service was excellent. The food was top notch, and the recommendations from the staff were spot on. I like to try new dishes and have to say the octopus starter was delicious, and John Dory is added to my list of favourites. The restaurant its self is a little snug. Some of the tables are quite close, but still far enough apart for privacy (and a personal benchmark of mine - the toilets were absolutely spotless!) It's a little pricy, but this is Central London and quality comes at a price. Given all the restaurants available in London, would I go again? In a heartbeat.

We went for a family lunch to celebrate my sister's 50th. Service was so amateur it was laughable - my main course was forgotten about and arrived so late (after a waiter had been prompted) that everyone else had finished eating theirs, a glass of wine was knocked over my sister (accidents happen - felt very sorry for the waitress - but didn't help the mood!), and the birthday message (with plate of petit fours that were promised) didn't ever materialise... Despite saying we didn't want dessert, two bowls of ice cream arrived as way of an apology. Brilliant - if it had been my sister's 5th birthday, and not her 50th.... It was just sooo disappointing. And hugely expensive. We drank one bottle of house wine between 5 people, and the bill was over £500. There are several thousand other restaurants in London where that can get you incredible food, and a vastly superior dining experience - go to those... not to J Skeekey.

We visited this restaurant for a Valentine’s meal and opted for seats at the bar. The food was good but not super and as expected, on the pricier side. We don’t mind paying for quality food and service, especially for special occasions, but while the dishes were well-prepared, the portions were quite small. Unfortunately, the service didn’t quite meet the standard we expected given the premium pricing and the 13.5% service charge. My partner’s chair was frequently bumped by staff, and I noticed a general lack of attentiveness. On my way back from the restroom, staff didn’t make way, which felt inconsiderate. I also observed a waitress placing a dish down and then reaching across the plate, her arm touching the food—something that shouldn’t happen in a restaurant of this caliber. Similarly, when clearing our plates, the waiter reached right across me for the plates instead of taking the extra step around, which felt careless. There were other small but noticeable lapses—at one point, I was nearly knocked over by someone rushing up the stairs with boxes stacked high, and the staff at the counter seemed rushed and inattentive. I even saw one casually toss a dressed crab aside, sending it spinning. Overall, while the food was enjoyable, the experience didn’t quite justify the price. The atmosphere felt very flat. I had expected a more refined, Old English charm, but it didn’t quite deliver on that front. With more polished service and attention to detail, it could be worth revisiting, but as it stands, it fell a little short of expectations and I wouldn’t say it’s worth the price.

Food was spectacular. Caviar, scallops, and halibut were to die for. All paired with lovely wine. Service was impeccable (waiter was from Romania but didn’t catch his name but he was amazing!). Our first ever date was at J Sheekey and 15 years and two kids later it did not disappoint!

This was our first visit here which coincided with Valentines Day! The restaurant was busy even at 4pm when we arrived. We had a wonderful corner table which gave us a little more room. Loved the buzzy vibe! My fish pie was amazing and my banoffee dessert divine. Our server Philip was great and the whole experience perfect. We will definitely be returning.

Excellent drinks, amazing atmosphere and even better service by Monika. She went above and beyond looking after us.

Unwelcoming. Chap at the desk gave us a dirty look, reckoned we couldn't have a table, but he would let us have a seat at the bar. No thanks, no need to be so pompous. Did us a favour, actually, because we then found a fanastic restaurant in Covent Garden, Da Mario. Couldn't have been more friendly or welcoming. Could give Sheeky's a masterclass in good customer service.

Everything was perfect except we were seated the covered area but it was so cold despite the blanket and the wall heaters

Had a meal with the wife after a show and I’m in love with sea food restaurants . Got to say I was pretty underwhelmed . We had six Scottish Oysters to start and i have to say , although nice , I had a lot better . We then had fish pie and Fish stew . Both desperately under seasoned and was crying out for flavour . For sweet we had apple pie and custard and for the price it was again disappointing. Service was great . Tables were a little cramped . Wouldn’t go back .

I haven’t been to J Sheekey in a while but visited for my birthday in January. The service was top notch. The food overall was lovely. The split sole and crab starter in particular was exceptional. However the scallops were very disappointing. They hadn’t been prepared properly. Very gritty and chewy. For the price, I would expect a lot better.

Simply my favourite restaurant. Served by Phillipe 5 Star service.

Great atmosphere, solid food, great service from the staff. Lots of famous people in the restaurant and very warm feeling overall. Food was good especially the lobster thermidor! Will return

Pleasant experience. I can confirm the good reviews I read. Fantastic well presented oysters, delicious the famous fish pie, fresh Riesling filling the glasses up by the waiter at its right time and one of the best cheesecakes I've had. I think the fish stew is not worth it neither in the price nor the expected quality (few small loose shellfish pieces with bland potato). Above all I'd highlight the very attentive - not pretentious service.

A classy seafood restaurant with wide range of fresh seafood platters. They also offer other options such as burgers and many wine choices to pair with the seafood. The ambiance is warm and cosy, with friendly service. The price was around £50/person, which is expected for the type of cuisine offered.

Fine seafood beautiful service from Patryga

Excellent overall as the fish was perfectly cooked and the table service very good. An exclusive, dynamic, cheerful feel in the restaurant itself but the downside; reception staff are more alert and warmly responsive to the famous and beautiful than Jo Bloggs.

This was a fabulous dining experience. The staff were friendly, and our server, Alex, was welcoming and had a fun sense of humour while being very knowlegible about both the wines and food. The restaurant is comprised of outdoor and indoor seating, with a number of cosy, small inside rooms, with upbeat jazz music playing unobtrusively in the background. I was particularly struck by the attention to detail on the tables and the presentation of the food. We started with the roasted scallops in their shells and a shellfish bisque. However, the standout starter was the blue fin tuna tartare. This had a coating of spiced avocado with a ponzu sauce, which had a fabulous citrus flavour and a hint of ginger. The plateau de fruits de mer was huge and more than enough for one person (and I have a healthy appetite). The dressed crab was delightful and , he whelks were plump and juicy. A bottle of Reisling with its subtle flavours was the perfect accompliment. We also had a sticky prawn starter as a main, which had a really nice bite courtesy of the jalapeño, lime, and garlic. We finished the meal with an ice cream and a great selection of cheeses. I can highly recommend J Sheekey to anyone looking for a great seafood experience. We shall definitely return to try out some of the other dishes on the menu.

Perfect, nothing to complain about. Several times we had wanted to dine there but the crowds had forbidden us and we understand why. There were 4 of us, it was hot seafood for some with lobster and fresh for others. Everything was very good, fresh. So some will say, seafood is easy to cook, yes and no it still has to be fresh and of quality which was the case. The service is impeccable, the waiter was attentive, attentive but not in a hurry and gave good advice. The team is attentive, no table available, it doesn't matter, you can wait while enjoying an aperitif, it's simple and the timing was respected. The desserts were very good, a nice revisit to the pavlova. A very good evening.

Pre theatre at the Atlantic bar

The food is great and for the price of 55 for amazing seafood platter for one it is reasonable for level of service and environment. Menu and wine menu are diverse and interesting. The service was ok but no more exceptional than an average restaurant. Annoyingly our waitress left just after our main was served and the level of attentiveness was lacking...it all seemed like an afterthought rather than the level I would expect from a restaurant of this level

Food was lovely especially the spicy sticky prawns. The monkfish curry was disappointing as the the spices had not fully melded into the curry so I had a gritty taste. The prawns in the curry were also limited. The haddock and chips was lovely but could definitely do with a punchier tartar sauce.

We were tempted to visit by the widely advertised Sunday Jazz, but sadly the band only played in the lobby and couldn’t be heard in the restaurant. Felt a bit sneaky! Food was good and service was fine, mistakes like forgotten sides and wrong cutlery were quickly rectified.

Very disappointed food was not up to standard, service was poorly. We have been a loyal customer for over 10 years unfortunately I do not think will return. The crab definitely was not fresh I think frozen. The whelks were so tuff was unbeatable. Did anyone ask how was our meal answer no .

I had a great experience at J Sheekey in London! The food was delicious, the service excellent, and the atmosphere inviting. Highly recommend!

It's really difficult not to give 5 stars to this restaurant in London. we had dinner for New Year's Eve in this place which still offered the possibility of choosing à la carte. undoubtedly one of the best fish restaurants in the city. We had 3 starters, 2 second courses and 1 dessert between us. we took a seat before dinner at their bar, which featured live music. for dinner 1 bottle of wine for two. the expense was adequate for the restaurant which is very popular and without the slightest flaw in the service. what can I say... I will definitely return

Visiting this restaurant every time we are in London is a lucky tradition for us.

This place is a must , the tuna appetizer was incredible

Very nice and elegant environment with excellent food

Dinner served at the bar. Dover sole supreme. Haddock & Seafood Curry as well Oyster superb as was service. A London Treasure👌

love this place, The great service starts with the best meeter and greeter i have ever met, followed by amazing front of house staff the master class in food, They even put up with my little dog having a bark at the waiters like its his day out too. Don’t know who J Sheekey is or was but you doing him proud🙏🙏

Old school but still keeping up the standards. The rooms have a great atmosphere, they don't rush you and overall it has a lovely feel. Tge crowd is a bit older and has the vibe of returning regulars. Great xmas restaurant.

Fabulous restaurant. Great food and great service. Loved everything about it.

Attentive service. Great location. Slightly disappointed with the seafood platter on this occasion.. more of the "infill" (e.g. cockcles) at the expense of the "main players" (oysters, snails) in my opinion.

I was a little bit sceptical about this place as I normally would not eat in the middle of town. However our friends had been many times and we were so glad we came. Sunday Jazz duo were amazing. Bloody Mary's at the bar were perfect. Restaurant is made up of little rooms which is lovely. Every mouthful of food was exceptional. How someone can make any complaints is beyond me, but I dare say even if you did have gritty scallops, just ask and they would be changed. My Halibut cooked on the bone was first class, as were Rachel's spicy prawn starter and Monkfish curry. Whatever you do make sure you can leave room or force down the Apple Pie and custard. Best I ever had (sorry mum) It is not cheap, but it doesn't have to be as the quality is right up there. We will definitely be back.

I'd heard about this restaurant through overseas friends who always go when they come over here. We went last night and it was delightful. Bisque and tuna tartar starters were both spot on. My main of fish stew was superb - picked up the bisque from my wife starter and improved - the fish and seafood in it were perfectly cooked. My wife had the fish pie (it's always a favourite of hers) and it was the best she'd had. Smokey, creamy loveliness. The waiting staff had the right balance of approachability and professionalism. One of the best meals we've had in a very long time.

Lovely food, fresh seafood and fabulous service! Will definitely be coming back again

Went here during a date to arouse her culinary palate as I knew she liked fine dining and good food, I have always wanted to eat here too, so a no-brainer as we were walking around the west end. Didn't book and just walked in, we had an hour wait, but they accommodated us. The service was great, and the food was delicious as expected. The only problem was that sitting outside in the covered area was a bit cold for a December evening, albeit that there were heaters, but my date's conversation soon warmed me up. Did not disappoint as a great experience was had by all.

Awful service grit in my scallops overpriced seating too close together crowed couldn’t get through to go to powder room

It was lovely, one of London's oldest and best restaurants. Great food. Loo's clean for such a high traffic place. Good atmosphere. I recommend the fish pie and Staff absolutely fantastic, highly recommend.

Sheekey is a must. Every year we go to London and we even book before leaving. This evening, excellent service from Falimat. ¡ Much Gracias for your service!

Always celebrate our anniversary here, my favourite place to eat when in london. Every visit the food and the staff are amazing.

not often do i arrive at my table and then a staff member bump into me and then lean in to headbutt me! all is very clearly on the cctv and the manager of the evening also witnessed it. a very surreal experience at such a great establishment. this waiter then carried on serving us drinks by putting them on our table as quickly as he possibly could each time, which resulted in him spilling it. other staff very good and food was nice but i've never had anything like that happen to me before. very surreal experience

Have been here a number of times and enjoyed our previous visits this time just didn’t hit the mark. Food was uninspiring and nothing creative in any way. Wine list was good but very expensive. Many better places to try.

The overall experience is amazing. The interior design is wonderful and so is the service. The food was slightly too sweet for our personal liking (burger and salmon dishes).

We celebrated my mother-in-laws 90th birthday and all staff were fantastic. Sarita in particular was very kind, attentive and funny, she made our evening very special. Thanks Sarita!

Sheekey or cheeky ? To be honest it’s just an average restaurant with not so average prices. Having been placed in an outside dining area that was supposedly heated, I can report that it’s set up for polar bears and penguins only. Others left early as it was so cold or refused to dine as was so unbearable, or hid under blankets. The prices are eye watering and just not worthy of the produce that’s delivered. The six oysters for starters and mains for 4 plus 1 bottle of wine came out at £317. No deserts or extras !! Which, for average pub grub just wasn’t worth the cost. The service was acceptable, but they even added 8 quid to deliver the bread with the oysters as well as charging for the bread on top of this, is just taking the piss we think. For a lot less money we can eat in the original ivy as we have done many times and never faulted the service or food. This, as it’s owned by the same group isn’t the real deal and we would advise against. Please spend your money on a restaurant where you feel appreciated and not ripped off. X

Vastly overrated, after having drinks at the bar we waited an age to be shown to our table. Where we were seated must have been the coldest area of the restaurant,we asked on 3occasions for the air conditioning to be turned off before it eventually was. The girl who showed us to our table was rude and unwelcoming. While we were waiting for our food we noticed other tables getting a basket of bread, we got nothing until we pointed this out. I certainly won't go to this restaurant again and will deter any of my friends and family from doing so.

It was my second time visit J Sheekey seafood restaurant in Covent Garden. It seems like they would serve quicker for those pre-theater guests. We were waited for sometime. Underwhelmed by the food which was pricy. ▪︎Pumpkin risotto was good ▪︎Crab burger was okay ▪︎Fish curry was ordinary ▪︎Mixed Oysters can be better ▪︎Parmesan fried Courgette was good ▪︎Roasted Chorizo was good ▪︎Atlantic Prawns not worth to try Service was pleasant, friendly staff . Total bill : £192.

All the staff were excellent, service was the best I have had in a long time. Food excellent, gotta get the recipe for the scallop sauce! Desserts excellent. Location fantastic, makes the maintenance of standards all the more impressive with so many potential one time passing customers... I will be going back asap!

If you cannot get a table sit at the bar! Fantastic!

An exceptional experience. Beautiful.

Really great seafood and a good selection of dishes on the menu. Fantastic setting for a family celebration in an intimate section of the restaurant. This coupled with jazz music created just the right ambience for our get-together. The service is outstanding, attentive but unobtrusive. I highly recommend J. Shelley’s.

Went there for a birthday party over the weekend. I was not impressed with the service as this place was considered as a 5 star-typed restaurant. Food: The choices are good with different options. Service: bad. The waitress serving us was looking like she doesn't understand our order and we have to keep repeating our order a few times. On the drinks side, we've put in our order once we were seated as we know what we want to drink. However 15 minutes later, there were still no drinks on sight. We've to ask about where are our drinks. Another point was the seating, the table that we're placed was small, cramp and in a traffic flow area were waiters snd waitresses walk passed you ALL THE TIME! While we saw a couple was place in a corner with a bigger table where more people can sit around. Not very clever in their seating plan. We've made reservation in advance, surely you would have thought the restaurant would have a better seating plan. Atmosphere: it was spolit by the cramped seating table, with lots of waitering traffic flow around our table.

Beautiful Restaurant, Service & Food. My sister and I ate there last night and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

This place was awesome. The chili jalapeño prawns were yummy. Also the cheese soufflé was the dish of the night ! The picture doesn’t do it justice - delicate with an amazing cheese sauce Loved the fish and chips - specifically the mushy peas were better than most places. The fish pie is creamy and comforting The basque cheesecake with cherry was perfect !

What a place! First of host was welcoming and professional. We had a drink while they prepared our table. The waitress was lovely and again, very professional. We had the oysters which were fresh, then we had the seafood platter!! This platter was amazing, lobster, big prawns, scallops, mussels, so tasty and one thing I commend them on, is the hot temperature of the food, everything came out nice and pipping hot, which I appreciated. Well seasoned and tasty! I will defo be going back again! However, I must say I noticed there was a cover charge on my receipt, when I got home. So I called to ask what this was, the lady told me, you get charged for the linen, table cloth and napkins etc, she said all restaurants charge, i had to correct her and say they don’t as I was looking at another resturant bill and that wasn’t on there. J Sheekey charge £2 per person, not sure I liked that, considering it’s not the cheapest restaurant.

Lovely experience, and very pleasant attentive service for my wife's birthday. Sommelier was great too. Thank you.

Great service great food. Well worth a visit.

It was all wonderful, thank you to all the hard working staff. You made my birthday meal a special one :)

Quite simply one of the very best seafood restaurants in the World and we love visiting this iconic eatery whenever we are in town. The staff are lovely and nothing is any problem even when you are the very last people to leave!! We booked for 9.30pm and arrived very late but it was truly no issue whatsoever! Love Sheekeys!!❤️

Some times the words can’t describe the feeling..amazing tastes!!

Good fish restaurant, Dover sole highly recommended. Very nice service, good list of white wine.

Legendary place on London’s culinary scene. Still up to it's hype and glory. We were very pleased with everything. The service was attentive, friendly and non obstructive. The food was tasty, well prepared, cooked and came with great timing. The ambient was like in traditional, classic old fashioned restaurant in the 60ties. The crowd was full of eccentric, interesting individuals (lots of them dressed in very flamboyant manner). All in all it's a place to be, to see, to be seen, to hang out and enjoy lively Central London in all it's glory. Definitely a place for many regular visits, holding history and many fantastic memories. One of very few in London still being it's own league. Well done J Sheekey!!!
