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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

Lovely traditional food in a lovely, snug environment but badly let down by chaotic service. We paid over £350 for two of us but did not consider this money well spent-all because the service was so poor. Our souffles were served five minutes before the other starters arrived, one of the starters arrived after all the others, the starter plates were not cleared until the main course arrived and there seemed to be no-one supervising service generally. IT all felt very haphazard. At these prices, one can expect expert service-not just good food and I would hesitate to go back given the poor service.

We had a reservation here for dinner before catching a show at the theatre. What a wonderful choice! The seafood was fresh and delicious. The waiter was very attentive and the atmosphere was excellent. For starters we had the mixed platter of oysters (my favourite were the Spéciales de Claire, I would recommend just ordering those) and for main we each ordered a deluxe shellfish platter (which is too much food, just order one to share!) I’d never tried a whelk before so that was new. The platter had a dressed crab, lobster, clams, cockles, ceviche, mussels, king prawns and probably more I’m forgetting. Great for seafood lovers. Wonderful place, I do recommend it. Came to around £400 for 2 people with drinks.

Back at J Sheekys after not being to London for two years. We showed up just at about Theatre sitting time - so it was busy- but after just a few minutes got a nice table and prompt service. We had a less than stellar experience the night before at. Michelin 1 star so were hoping JS would be better. It delivered great food, great service, less than half the price. Wine list is good and reasonable. We had the lobster Gruyère bites as an appetizer which was excellent. We were initially a bit reluctant on some of the fish as we usually avoid anything farmed- our server who reassured us it was great Scottish stuff told us the halibut and hale were fantastic - we had halibut grilled and fish and chips hake. He claimed they were the best in the UK and if we found better we could return for a free fish and chips on him. So far we are still looking for better but haven’t found it including in Bath. We will return anyway since and gladly pay for the quality. A la prochaine fois! Thanks.

Had an early pre-theater dinner at the counter, starting with the tuna and avocado tartar - the tuna was tasteless, overwhelmed by the avocado and not spicy as advertised. Next was miso salmon, which was excellent, with a side green salad that was severely overdressed. I should have stuck with their reliable fish and chips. Disappointing overall, including service: lots of attention given when I arrived to the fact that I was going to the theater, yet when I needed to leave, it was challenging to find someone to pay the bill. Not to mention, after being seated, a second "host" came by and tossed a second menu at me. I said "I have one, thank you," and he replied "Oh, I see, just one." As a traveler who often dines solo, restaurants need to train staff to eliminate the phrase "JUST one" from their vocabularies. It's 2024.

The fish was perfectly cooked with a light, crispy batter and the chips were golden and delicious. If you’re on the hunt for the best fish and chips, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.

J. Sheekey's red facade has been an unmissable fixture along St Martin's Court in Covent Garden since 1896. Sometimes, established legacy restaurants can be disappointing and not live up to their reputation. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service when I recently dined at this well-known seafood spot. Although there isn't an abundance of gluten free options on the menu, the few that were available were full of flavour and well balanced. The fish was fresh, and I thought everything was spiced beautifully. The waitress took her time explaining what I could/ couldn't eat on the menu, and I felt safe dining despite my dietary restrictions. I was also happy to note that gluten free bread was available. I want to highlight the risotto - it was remarkable, and I haven't had a risotto in a long that that I have enjoyed as thoroughly as this one. I had a very pleasant experience dining here, and I would recommend it as a good option post-West End show!

A superb classic English fish restaurant near theatreland in the West End. It claims to have been around since the 1890s. Whether that's true or not, I don't know, but I do know that it's a London landmark worth visiting for a pre or post theatre dinner. The food is always delicious and never disappoints with interesting twists on classics such as shrimp cocktail or lobster thermidor. The service is attentive and "fun" without being obnoxious. There's a good selection of wine and cocktails. The atmosphere and ambience is usually buzzy.

My recent visit to J Sheekey in London was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in a narrow street that evoked a sense of old London, the atmosphere felt as though I had stepped back in time to a historic era. The surrounding pedestrian traffic was dense, adding to the lively and classic London charm, while inside, the ambiance was calm and inviting. From the moment I sat down, the service was fantastic. A young waiter, in particular, stood out. His attention to detail was impeccable; he anticipated everything we needed, and we never had to call him over – he was always ready and present. This level of care and professionalism greatly enhanced our experience. We indulged in the best fruits de mer I’ve had since Paris. The quality of the seafood was incredibly high, making for an unforgettable meal. Every bite reflected the freshness and careful preparation of the ingredients. J Sheekey has certainly set the bar for excellence in seafood. On top of the outstanding food and service, there was also a sense of warm hospitality that made the evening feel special. The entire experience at J Sheekey was a perfect blend of tradition, high-quality cuisine, and attentive service. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a true taste of classic London dining.

If I could rate this restaurant a -100, I would. This was my first time in London and the hotel I was staying at recommended this place. My family and I walked in the restaurant and the “host” did not greet us upon arrival. He assumed that I was recording him(I am a vlogger) since I was holding my camera. He literally started ducking and hiding as if he was in action movie and told us to just walk in the restaurant instead of speaking to him. He did not ask if I could put the camera away which could’ve been just as simple as explaining that I did not have the camera on. We still proceed to sit down and enjoy our dinner. As we were ordering, a different team member came to reiterate that we shouldn’t have the camera recording or have it on the table and assumed that I was STILL recording. As a professional, I know what establishments I can and cannot record in which I also explained. I usually ask for permission prior to entering any establishment. The restaurant put such a bad taste in our mouths we decided to leave. I refuse to spend $200-300 on a restaurant that I couldn’t be comfortable in or continue to see team members cut eyes at our table. We proceeded to leave and was stop by the “host” aka cupcake. He tried to make amends with us and act surprised of why we was leaving which turn us to exchange words. We left out the restaurant and never plan to try them again. A family walked up to us as we were at the restaurant saying “the food is not that great for that service. I wouldn’t leave them a penny for a tip.” That spoke volumes to my family! I will be doing a full vlog on my trip to London and will do a voice over about this restaurant. I do not recommend this restaurant. You will be disappointed. The menu is not even pleasing and the prices are high. I do not need management to contact me, I will never recommend or eat at this establishment. They also called the hotel we stayed at and lied saying we were recording and was asked for us to leave. That was a absolutely a lie, no one asked us to leave… my family made the decision to tell the waiter we were not comfortable and to give us a check if it was charge for the water on the table. I RECOMMEND BENTLEYS BAR AND GRILL OVER THIS ESTABLISHMENT. We literally walked over to the restaurant and they sat us down immediately. We explained about the horrible experience we encountered at J Sheekey and they apologized for their mistake and awful service. They treated my family and I SO nice, and the GENERAL MANAGER stated that we can come in without an reservation anytime!! It was huge different experience and I’m so glad that we left to go enjoy real service and manners!

We had drinks and starters and mains. We had oysters, octopus and the seafood platter. Oysters and octopus were Devine but I believe the octopus was overpriced for what it was. The clams in the seafood platter hadn’t been soaked and had an awful amount of sand inside them. It was so bad it must be the worst clams I have ever had. It put me off the rest of the meal. Isn’t it normal to soak clams in order to remove the sand?

J Sheekey has been on the go forever and it’s been many years since our last visit. Our overall view this time was that it still cuts it, still has a certain something about it, though pricing felt high versus portion size, and on wine. Food was good. It has a lovely, old school atmosphere with polished service, and somehow still manages to feel glam even though you’re sat in a back alley at the side of the Noel Coward!

This is the best fish and chips (Fried Haddock) in London, nay, the world. The fish was done incredibly well and has wonderful appetizers. The customer service was phenomenal, I would give this a 10/5 if I could.

This was our first visit to what I now know is a great London institution and it really didn’t disappoint. The menu is fabulous but if you have non-fishy friends there are vegetarian and vegan options too. It’s a little like stepping back in time to the days of quiet, elegant wood-panelled dining rooms and thick napkins, but the experience overall is anything but dated. Great wine list, knowledgeable sommelier, attentive (but not too much) staff - it really was the perfect lunch on a very hot and sticky day in London Town ☺️ I’m not keen on the phrase ‘experience dining’ but this was just that, a lovely treat. Cannot wait to eat my way through the menu!

J Sheekey's delivered a seafood feast! Our group of 5 had an amazing array of starters & mains: scallops, burrata, zucchini flowers, octopus, crab burger, soles, sea bass, cod and a shellfish platter. The flavors were incredible, the service great and the sides perfectly complemented each dish. They even took our nut allergy seriously. A must-visit for seafood lovers in London!

Great meal at J Sheekey. Went for the lunch fixed menu to try the restaurant and it was a yummy meal. Really enjoyed the miso salmon and the starters. The Brad and burger was also delightful!

Famous for fish, J Sheekey was once my favourite post-theatre restaurant but has been in decline for several years. Snappy service is now disinterested and slap-dash, whilst the dog-eared menu is reflective either of our denuded oceans or a lack of willingness to employ skilled chefs. Probably both. Like a Brighton chippie, cod and haddock are the best Sheekey’s offer (no turbot or John Dory) unless you like your monk fish tail curried. Ask for fizzy water, you get still. Octopus starter was nice but the salmon tartar was straight out of kitchen central. The sole slips were swimming in butter without a boiled potato, a slice of lemon or a lettuce leaf for garnish - and not even a suggestion by the (did I mention disinterested?) waiter when taking the order that an inordinately expensive vegetable side dish might be required to make a meal. Maybe its adjoining seafood bar is better but for after-theatre dinner the main restaurant is one to avoid.

Seafood to die for, there is no other way to say it. I have never had better in this country or France. Very highly recommended.

My wife and I went here for dinner at the recommendation of the manager at Fallow (he opened both restaurants). Based on the fantastic service we had at Fallow, we booked J Sheeky. The seafood was excellent. The Dover Sole and Halibut were amazing, as was the octopus and andouille appetizer. Desserts and cocktails were on point, with prompt delivery of cocktails once ordered. Outstanding service, wonderful atmosphere on the covered patio outside. Highly recommend.

Bad waitress named Cristina. . She brought bread, but failed to bring butter or oil until after we were done eating. . I ordered mashed potatoes with my lobster Thermidor. The potatoes didn’t come until after we were finished eating. We wanted to order a second drink, but she never came back to the table. We brought cupcakes in for a birthday. She set the cupcakes down on the table. We didn’t have plates, and we didn’t have any utensils. At the end of the mail we kept asking for the check. The waitress wasn’t anywhere to be seen. We had to ask other help in the restaurant to bring what we needed. They said she was lazy.

Great restaurant. Staff very attentive but not intrusive. Food was delightful. Not cheap but worth every penny. (We had cocktails and wine which pushed price up a bit)

Oysters and scallops were Ok but courgette and chicken was mediocre and not worth the money at all. Service was pretty slow and ambience wasn’t great. Wouldn’t visit again

Superb food, excellent presentation with the best service. As a Real foodie who loves dining out, I was happily surprised that these top noche places still exist. 20 years in Italy, 5 in Spain to acheive my total satisfaction. Even to the point.....we were tipsy with food happiness (seafood platter for 2), accompanied perfectly with a rather sumptuous Rose. Probably one of the best lunches you will find in London🫶

Exceptional food, beautifully crafted by clearly gifted chefs. Super polite greeting at the door, smart and refined, but staff with a sense of humour as well as a sense of great customer service. The fish is superb - it doesn't matter what you choose, you won't be disappointed. And we had possibly the best and most beautiful dessert ever. Raspberry posset - rarely does something so beautiful, taste as good as it looks. Compliments to the chefs and thanks to the staff. Incidentally, without any fuss being made, I'm pretty sure we were treated to much more wine than we were charged for. If it was intended, then thank you. If it was accidental, tough - you can't have it back. Not cheap, but worth every penny for a special meal that won't disappoint.

Consistent, high quality, well conceived menu, well trained staff, and comfortable, club like atmosphere. Worth the price. Not trendy, just a classic. Loved the shrimp and soft shell crab burger. Sea bass filet was also terrific. A gritty seafood bisque was remediated without hesitation. Highly recommended.

I've eaten fish and chips 30 times in London, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Yoko, etc., and it ranks second among them. Koreans, don't just eat cod, try haddok! What a wonderful man! Oh, they only accept cash! Jinze highly recommended

Habíamos estado en esta sucursal hace unos años y más recientemente hemos visitado el lugar de Covent Garden. Fue una noche tranquila cuando fuimos tan poco ambiente. El personal era amable y nos sentimos cómodos y relajados. Para empezar teníamos sopa de pescado y cebo blanco, y pescado con patatas fritas y bouillabaisse para nuestra red. La sopa estaba buena y el cebo blanco también, aunque evita si no te gusta la comida picante, aunque puedes pedir que se deje de lado la pimienta de cayena. El pescado estaba muy bueno aunque las patatas fritas se habían cocinado demasiado. El bouillabaisse venía en una cacerola de cobre y era una porción muy generosa. Tenía sabor y grandes trozos de pescado blanco, así como mejillones y un par de gambas. Vino con pan de masa madre. El restaurante tiene muchos clientes que regresan, lo que no sería el caso si la comida no fuera consistentemente buena.
