"Not really what I expected from a fish restaurant in the City.  I liked the rustic beachy decor, and the informal service.  Front of house was friendly and efficient but the kitchen was appallingly slow.We started with Colchester oysters which were perfectly loosened from their shells.  We did have a minute wait between ordering and actually getting our oysters.There was another minute wait for mains after getting the oyster shells cleared.  First to arrive were the sides we were sharing.  Chips were pleasant enough, but they were advertised as fish roe chips on the menu.  No evidence of fish roe.  The Asian slaw was a nice mix of finely julienned carrot, cabbage and red onion but way too salty being dressed solely with Thai fish sauce and sesame oil and black sesame seeds.  It really needed something acidic and maybe a hint of sweetness.  Up to this point, everything was off the regular Fish Market menu and fairly priced.For mains we had two orders of the crab roll and an octopus burger off the Claw menu.  Claw is a pop up and food stall that has a temporary residence at Fish Market.  Given the size and sparse amount of seafood, they were a rip off at a pop.  Not terrible, but quite disappointing.   My crab roll tasted primarily of commercially prepared mayonnaise.  Owner of the octopus burger had the same complaint. There was some samphire on my crab roll but it added more visual interest than taste.  The bread was the best part of the sandwich, being fluffy and drenched in butter before griddling.  But for a sandwich with indifferent filling and some excellent bread is pretty steep."

"First and foremost, the service was excellent! Our server was funny, friendly and attentive, really can't fault her at all! The food was decent. We started with the seafood platter and all was very tasty though a little sparse for the price. Would suit 2 or 3 people, but for 4 it isn't a lot. The fish and chips was met with approval, so was the seabream on specials. The roasted cod dish was very nice though perhaps a little fussy? Could probably do with one less ingredient as the fish drowned in the other tastes, but it was nice and the fish very well made. The ambience gets a downgrade as there were a table of influencers in the middle of the room with a great big portable spotlight (to better light the food they weren't eating until it went cold??? which was highly distracting together with their constant photographing. I wish the restaurant hadn't put them right in the middle of the restaurant, it was annoying. Other than that, the restaurant was lovely and does warrant a return visit!"

"I am a regular at this restaurant on Monday nights because the upstairs area hosts one of the best jazz clubs in London, managed by Will. They bring top talent to us Londoners, and tonight's performance by the Jo Davies trio was exceptional. Her new album was recorded live here, so I am excited to hear it! The ambiance and acoustics are wonderful, and the staff is very friendly. The beer selection is decent, but I wish they had a stronger bitter ale like Greene King Abbot or London Pride instead of Good Old Boy. We tried the Mahajana IPA, which was better but still not quite what we were looking for. I recommend getting the house wine if you are sharing a bottle with two or more people."
