The Sea, The Sea in Kensington and Chelsea

Absolutamente fantástico, Ben y su equipo no podría haber sido más servicial y la comida era excepcional. . Yo diría que es un lugar peculiar, único, pero nos encantó. Las mejores notas. Nick & Jules.

Este restaurante ofrece una excelente calidad y servicio, con un menú sencillo con los ingredientes más frescos, servido crudo o cocinado a la perfección. Los encantadores asientos al aire libre mejoran la experiencia. Si bien es caro, la calidad y la experiencia gastronómica en general hacen que valga la pena el costo.

We went there for lunch and this was a little restaurant. The service was good and the waitress were kind, pleasant and helpful. We had 6 oysters as appetitiser , mullet and turbot as main dish. The food were ok, but the size of the dishes were pathetic poor. We left with hungry stomach and it costed me £76. We ended up went to the opposite cafe to have a full sandwich and coffee to conclude my lunch.

Went with a friend for a light lunch and sat at the counter in front of the chefs. The oysters were the freshest I've ever had. The chefs chose some raw fish dishes for us which were amazing! Relaxed, friendly service and good value (for the area).

Delicious bites of raw or tender fish plated up without the usual starchy sides. Everything else was startlingly hostile: the refrigerated room temperature, perching on stools, pricy price and sarcastic hipster service. Wear a thick skin/jacket (or simply avoid if you’re feeling fragile).

A very pleasant lunch, really enjoyed the food, fresh fish with a Japanese twist, at least the dishes we chose, the choice of wines were perfect with the food and the helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff made it a lovely place to be. When the weather warms I dare say I shall spend a lot of time at one of the tables outside but for the time being a seat inside works perfectly.

The food was exquisite and the service excellent. Would definitely return one day. The oysters were to die for!

Amazing experience, everything was perfect. Oysters, sashimi and a wonderful wine (aligoté). We serpent a wonderful time with an amazing smteam. The staff is so kind. For sure we will come back and we haggle recommend the restaurant . 🫶🏻

A tiny spot on Pavillion Road, we picked it at random. What a delicious dinner. Unbelievable oysters, fresh monkfish and lovely giant prawns. Tiny tables, good wine list and small, shared dishes. Each one had its own lovely taste. Looked like local clientele. We would definitely go back.

Fabulous fresh fish in tapas style . Yes it is very expensive but the quality of the fish and the expertise of the preparation softens the blow . Service very good . Wines well chosen .

Une belle arnaque !!!! Tout est excellent, MAIS .... on vous explique qu'on peut faire des petits plats façon tapas pour environ 12£ (quand même) la portion, mais quand l'addition arrive ...... 25 £ pour 6 petites crevettes sauce gingembre, 10£ x 2 plats pour 6 tranchettes d'octopus, et surtout 30£ pour le thon du jour (2 petites tranches d'environ 5 cm par 2cm, et 1 d'épaisseur). Tout ça pour 2 adultes et une ado, rajoutez 1 outeille d'eau plate et une petite bière à prix raisonnable et vous tutoyez les 100£. En gros si vous ne mangez rien, vous en avez déjà pour 15£ par tête au minimum. Mieux vaut le savoir (sinon, ils vous enfument avec le sourire)

Au cœur de Chelsea dans Pavillion Road, jolie rue piétonne, se trouve une petite poissonnerie qui fait restaurant avec quelques tables. L’étal en vitrine montre des poissons absolument magnifiques versant sur l’exceptionnel. Mais la particularité est d’avoir une armoire à température et humidité où le poisson, comme la viande dans les très bonnes boucheries, est maturée. Nous avons goûté trois préparations, expérience unique Un énorme St Jacques mi cuite sur un miso crémé au poivre rouge Une grosse bouchée de lotte sur des petits légumes en pickle façon tsukemono Et des filets de maquereaux passés à la salamandre, craquants en surface et légèrement marinés en dessous, sur un miso blanc et avec une huile verte à l’ail des ours: exceptionnel… Le vin blanc maison, du sud ouest était bon, minéral et parfumé. Et pour dessert, une mousse au fromage de chèvre avec un coulis de fraise et les fruits escalopés, bien maîtrisé. Les prix sont raisonnables mais les portions menues, demandez un pain (excellent, servi avec un très bon beurre). Vaut le détour!

I had a visit last year and had the most disgusting experience. I am a big fan of fish and being a chef myself, I find they even got the basics wrong. How can you serve customers partially cooked food then only apologised when EVERY customer on that night also were disgusted from their experience. The price is does not match the quality of the food. I don't mind paying for expensive meals but this meals was a joke. Some rotten mushrooms on my plate and u tell me it was burnt by accident??!!! It looked off!! No wonder why your team kept deleting reviews. There were loads of reviews regarding your embarrassment. Never again

Dans une jolie rue piétonne un petit restaurant avec d'excellents produits de la mer. Repas à la table service rapide et efficace et surtout du poisson cru remarquable les coquilles saint jacques sont une vraie tuerie... prix élevés

We tried several dishes for dinner, all were very flavorful: tiger prawns on a bed of rice, monkfish, clams. Serving portion is a bit odd, if you’re hungry, you cannot just have one dish.

I tried the whole menu plus a couple of additional samplings. ALL WOW. The raw fish is far superior to any Japanese restaurants. The fish is as fresh as it can be. The staff, including the chefs, are attentive and engaged. A really good address that should be kept a secret so that it remains a special place.

We went yesterday for a lunch meal with my husband. The service was awful. They plonked the food without any explanation. The manager is dry and he smiles just when you order something expensive. Prices are ridiculous. Bad attitude. We were regular clients . Shame as I used to like this place when they just opened it. Avoid it

Stopped off for lunch, on impulse, as we were visiting our daughter in London for the day. It looked good and our daughter just adores sea food. From our initial inquiry whether we could have a table for three, the service was outstanding. Tables were rearranged in the shade to accommodate us, menus quickly provided, and after a few moments to decide with some helpful amplification and recommendations, our orders were taken. The food arrived in good order, beautifully presented and wonderful to the taste. The servings are on the small size, but that is what this place is all about, and was perfect for us as we were really after a light lunch. Throughout, the service was attentive, but not overpowering. Our wine was kept inside as it was a hot day, but we never had to ask for it as it seemed the staff were keeping eyes on our glasses and always came out at the right time to refresh them

This place is for seafood lover or who wants a light but flavorful meal. The most impressive items are their dry-aged salt water fish dishes. The texture of those fishes become firmer with a very unique taste and the presentation is simple but elegant! For my visit, the prawn was not as fresh as other seafood, maybe due to the freeze and defrost methods. Overall it is a nice place for fresh seafood with minimal cooking to bring out the real taste of the fishes.

We have been wanting to try this place for some time and finally found a date night which worked perfectly for us! We had an early dinner there and sat at the middle table. Arriving early we had the row of seats to ourselves which was nice. No tasking menu that evening so we happily ordered several dishes from the menu. I won’t bore you with details of each dish as they change quite regularly. But each dish was well composed and interesting. Some a bit more subtle than others, and there is certainly an order to stick to - ie don’t order the stronger flavoured mains and then go back to the ceviche style raw dishes to top up. We enjoyed the delicate flavours of the fish, briny but still unique with lovely textures and accompanying garnishes. Do ask your waiter about dishes with similar flavour notes so that you can vary your menu for the evening - it keeps the palate interested. Service was also very friendly and helpful although I do confess, I was sometimes lost with the strong Portuguese accent of my waiter - but he kindly repeated for me. We enjoyed the wines and champagnes (although limited options by the glass) and very much enjoyed the oysters with the beet root and shallots. This is a nice, albeit expensive if you munch a lot, stop to your evening out. We went onwards to enjoy some street party celebrations and ate our way through the evening. It probably won’t full you up for the meal, but it is certainly a good place to find seafood done well and with Chelsea flair.

AVOID!!! I booked that restaurant for Saturday evening through their app. I cancelled 9 hours in advance and they said it was ok. The same day around 23h, they charged me 80£ ( 40£ per pers cancellation fee) without informing me. I wrote them to...

Were went for dinner in July. Fresh and tasty seafood. Top quality! Great location close to Sloane Square and friendly and professional stuff. Prices were fair! Highly recommend

despite the little kitchen they put together some very delicious dishes. the food is SOOO fresh and clean. Great service too ! highly recommend it !

I was treated like a king by the lovely staff at The Sea The Sea. I tried kingfish, lobster and a sea bream dish - all unlike anything else I had ever eaten in London, top quality. Prices were fair - in line with the...

This is a small fishmonger which turns into a restaurant in the evenings, in q pedestrianised road near to Sloane Square. The fish is super fresh. The menu is small. The service is friendly and attentive. The prices are commensurate with the quality.

The food is tasty and service is friendly. Unfortunately, they allow smoking in the outside area, which destroys the experience for all smoke free guests. One would assume that in 2021 a restaurant of this nature would enforce a smoking ban. If you are looking...

Really disappointed.. the plates are absolutely tiny, which would’ve been almost ok had the taste made up for it. It was just lacking in every way, taste and size, and a little on presentation too. It is expensive but would’ve been happy to pay had...

Fig, tomato and caramelised milk for pudding? Coffee sauce with your sashimi? These may sound unappealing at first but trust me - the chefs here are genius risk takers with ingredients and the combination thereof. Fishmonger by day with a creative and minimalist menu by...

Phenomenal, fresh, delicious food and superb service. We had a very gluten intolerant guest and the staff went out of their way to ensure that dishes that could be modified were, not taking any chances with possible cross contamination etc - the majority of dishes...

We sat at the counter watching the cooks prepared the food, which was interesting. Menu was very good, oysters some of the best we have tasted. Only disappointment was the tune belly. All shell fish was great.

A new place in the newly redeveloped Pavilion Road off Sloane Square. The restaurant welcomes you with the ice table piled high with the best fresh fish. There’s a bar menu at lunchtime (largely sushi) and a larger a la carte menu for dinner. The...

Not to be repetitive with the scoring but the food quality is excellent. I came because it got an outstanding review in the Financial Times which I read last week in Seattle. I booked as I had a trip to London planned. Be aware that...

My wife and I really loved it. Fresh fish, friendly service and a nice location. Can't wait to go back soon :)

Super fresh fish, great wine list & service. Some dishes were simple, others with more flair but everything was exquisite. A gem in beautiful Chelsea.

We ate here in July shortly after they had opened. The portions are quite small but not cheap and we experienced some good and average dishes . We had oysters, sardines , crab , Kingfisher, scallop and cured cod . Our visit was early on...

This is a lovely fishmonger / restaurant in a quiet street away from the normal Chelsea bustle. We sat at a table overlooking the road and watched the evening go by. The food is delicious.. fresh and well-presented with great flavours. The portions are small...

Fishmonger by day and a seafood restaurant in the evening, this place was a find in the best sense. Small plates of deliciously prepared seafood stun the palate. We had sardines, lobster, mussels, octopus and turbot for dinner. All absolutely fine. Great selection of wine...

A nice little seafood bar off Sloane Square. The place is simple but neat. The food was deliciously creative. No fuss service. The anchovies on a brioche were delicious. The Sardines perfect. Of all the dishes we tried, we loved all. Will visit again

Visiting London and decide to go to this place as my friend told me is one of the more interesting new restaurant in the city. With the recommendation, I was expecting something at excellent. The experience turned out to be a complete disappointment. I ordered...

My wife and I first had lunch in July and returned four more times in five days! That good. Simple lunch menu but outstanding quality. Wines can be pricey but excellent choices are available. Same for spirits. Also attended a special Sunday night dinner that...

Staff lolling around busy on their phones, meagre portion of crab salad. Where was the salad? Waffles ok. Expensive but average wine. Not impressed. Wont be back.

Yesterday I had dinner with 2 friends in this fabulous fishmongers that in the evening change in a small cozy restaurant. The reservation was only for 1.40 mins and they are very pushy and straight with timing schedule. Probably because is very small with few...

Booked at this restaurant when it first opened, as I was due to attend a play at the Royal Court on the same night. We only had about 45 minutes to eat dinner, but the staff made sure we were prioritised and the food came...

We came here without booking to celebrate a special event and on the strength of the Sunday Times review. It exceeded our expectations. Quality, care and professionalism from start to finish. We loved every dish and they made us feel completely welcome. It's a trip...

Went there for a light lunch today. Excellent place, in a unique road (Pavilion) that makes you feel you are in a little town. Fish is really nice (mostly roar) and tasty. If you like a light lunch or dinner this is the place. No...

First visit the mussels were good. This is my second visit I am appalled. The mussels were tiny . Their were only a few in a oily buttery juice . We waited for ages . The wine was ok but the measure was tiny literally...

Popped in here for a light lunch and deliciopus glass of rosé prior to the Chelsea Flower Show and had a fabulous meal.

This is a small, high quality fishmonger and restaurant. We attended a lobster Masterclass dinner with Chef Leo. It wasn’t cheap but was fantastic. Delicious food and good wine. Great night.

Came here today for a quick pre-theatre dinner and wine, intrigued by the whole fish monger by day seafood bar by night transformation. Plus it's in one of my favourite foodie roads, the Pavillion Road - fishmonger, butchers, wine bars, cheesewrights, Bread Ahead, cute shops...

Fishmonger during the day, serving freshest seafood in the evening, what a great combination. Many Japanese elements are used in preparing the food (dashi, kombu, miso.....) and enhance the wonderful seafood. And the very knowledgeable Renato makes all guests very welcome and gives great insights....

The fresh seafood is amazing - in the hands of a creative chef, the dishes are really unique and so delicious - the cod with potato noodles (how novel is this) and scallop were perfection! Been back twice with different friends who all loved the...

Refined, delicious food. Lovely atmosphere. A fantastic addition to Pavilion Rd that I will most certainly visit again.

It is on a lovely street near Sloane Square and is a really great new seafood spot. Ridiculously tasty and fresh modern fish dishes and a cool bar, where we enjoyed some champagne. Love it ! and plan to go back during the day when...

There’s a cozy atmosphere at this place, the seating area is well used to transform the fishmongers by day into a restaurant. The fish and seafood I had, was not only super fresh but also very tasting, Mediterranean flavours on the Cod Collar dish were...

It’s not easy to find an exciting selection of fresh fish and shellfish in London - it is extremely rare to ever find it as good as here. The produce is exceptional and is evident in the food. The dishes are thoughtful and allow the...

I loved this place. I sat at the bar and ate my way through the whole menu. The fish on offer was some of the best I've had in the UK. Super fresh and prepared simply but skilfully letting the ingredients and produce do the...
