J Sheekey - The Restaurant

I heard it can be difficult to get a table during prime dinner time at J Sheekey, but my friend is a regular and they make exceptions for her.

We ate in the Atlantic Bar and I really don't understand what the hype is aboutIs it just that it is close to the theatre? The food was only fair.

Absolutely the BEST seafood dining experience EVER!! Started with Chilled Chowder and also the tomato salad - scrumptious!!!!! Had to have the signature View menu

Top notch food and pace of dining. An amazing team of servers! Falimat and Keisha were exceptional in their work, professional and attentive. Thank you to the whole staff, we’ll be back again!

Another amazing experience. This is our treat when we visit London and is our favourite restaurant ! The food is out of this world and the atmosphere and staff make the whole evening a great experience! We had the seafood platter for 2 which was delicious. Thank you again and we hope to visit soon.

We went on a Sunday and they have live jazz. The place is historic but kept up and quite elegant. It is located in the theatre district and great before or after a show but we went for the jazz. The food was excellent. My husband had salmon and a huge salad. I had an eggplant (aubergine) dish and a different salad. I love that they offer a lot of plant-based food along with seafood and other entrees. We loved the place and want to go back the next time we are in London. View menu

What can i say? a great meal and fantastic service, i had galician octopus and my wife had scallops to start, both were simply fabulous, we both then had lobster thermidor, we both felt slightly disappointed with this, the quality was beyond doubt, I wasnt so keen on the sauce. i didn't complain but did provide feedback that we overall had a nice time, but the lobster was slightly disappointing, via the website, literally the next morning (new years eve i had a phone call from them, immediate refund of both lobsters! i wasn't even after a refund, but they insisted, a class outfit and I will return (although might not have thermidor!

We were very disappointed as this restaurant has a great reputation but did not live up to it when we visited. From the start felt like I was being rushed to leave. The restaurant has a chain restaurant feeling and not anything special. Service was substandard had plates being collected when hadn't even finished eating. The freshness of the fish was questionable. Did not taste the way it should. Fish was de-boned by the service elevator in full view of guests. After watching the waiter faff with de-boning the fish came out cold. Accidentally got 2 lots of carrots on the side which amounted to 70% of the food served. Desert wasn't bad but not great. The previous night ate dinner at the Cheste...

So, we revisited J Sheekey having last been just before the lockdown. We wanted it to be as good...we were not disappointed. We had the most incredible experience dining here. Yes the food was utterly delicious, but we were welcomed in by the team and were lucky enough to have Sorida (I really hope I have spelt that right) as our main waitress. She was serving in the furthest restaurant area to your right as you walk in, lunchtime on the 30th of December. And she is a STAR. We loved her smiley ways, she was warm and friendly and all her food recommendations were bang on. The starters were incredible, potted shrimp for some and tiger prawns for others....the mains of a halibut in a champagne... View menu
