24/02/2020: A great, if expensive, seafood restaurant in the heart of the West End. We arrived for an early lunch and were shown to a deserted bar area but tables were tightly packed and the oyster bar quickly filled. Service was friendly and initially quite efficient but the speed of service rapidly went down as the area became busy. We had gin and tonics initially and I ordered a glass of Albarino to accompany my main course. For starters we had Lobster Bisque with Brandy Cream and Smoked Salmon with Potato Pancakes. The soup was tasty enough but a bit 'thin' and the smoked salmon was pretty good. The main course was the star of the show, however, and we both chose fillets of Dover Sole with Crab Butter was was truly delicious. My white wine was eventually delivered half way through the main. As we were due at the theatre for a matinee I chose to have a 'quick' dessert of Affogato but by this time service had slowed considerably and I had to chase up our waiter a couple of times before it was delivered and I was able to pay my bill - which included a 13.5% tip. The bill was just shy of £175 for 2 which I felt was rather expensive for the amount we had. Clearly, it would have topped £100 per head if we had had a bottle of wine and if my partner had also indulged in a dessert.

23/02/2020: Firstly the me say Bentley's is an excellent seafod restaurant! The staff are professional, polite and friendly. The food is superb in its flavours and execution and the prices reflect that.... However!... we ordered the Hot Seafood platter which we were told would be enough for 2 people, the menu states among other items Scollops/Prawns ..plural! you get one of each! you get 1/2 a lobster, some muscle some whelks and a baked oyster. Now this platter costs £82. they sell the 1/2 lobster for £35 which leave £47 to justify 10 muscles, 5 whelks 1 £3.75 baked oyster and 1 king prawn! (No sign of the baked crab that the menu stated) the numbers just don't add up!! I urge you to try this restaurant it is Excellent I also ask the Restaurant to evaluate it's pricing of the platter it's WAY out even for a restaurant as good as this. We felt cheated and put a bit of a damper on our night but we did just pay and leave! we were a table of 4 paying £164 just for main courses!
