J Sheekey was great! The portions are huge and absolutely worth it. We ordered both the cold and hot seafood platters, and they were delicious—super fresh and beautifully done. We sat at the counter bar, which was a fun spot to watch everything happening. Our server was excellent and stayed professional and attentive, even though it looked like there might have been some behind-the-scenes staff drama. Overall, a really good experience. I’d definitely come back—especially for seafood that fresh! 🦞✨

My absolute favourite restaurant in London! 🌟I am big fan of the seafood so this restaurant is the best! Whether I want to go for dinner with someone or simply treat myself, this is always my first choice. I love walking in, sitting down, and enjoying my favourite oysters (J Sheekey style!). I’m also obsessed with their main dishes the salmon, cod, and scallops are fantastic. Honestly, every dish is exceptional, and their seafood platter is unbelievably good! 🦀 I’m also in love with the atmosphere and the staff. It’s the perfect place to visit when I want to unwind and enjoy truly delicious food. At the desk there’s Raya (or Riya), who is always incredibly welcoming and positive 🧡 In general, the whole team is wonderfully friendly and experienced 🌟 Overall, this is my favourite spot in London perfect both for a dinner with friends and for those moments when I just want to relax and enjoy excellent dishes 👌 P.S. Counter seating is almost always available without a booking, but if you prefer a table, keep in mind that you’ll need to book in advance

I e been wanting to come here for ages and It didn’t disappoint and I would really like to come back here again only next time I would book earlier so we could secure a prime time slot and also I would request to be in the main restaurant area. We didn’t sit in the outside bit but we were in a small room just off the main area and it did rather lack atmosphere but I think that was also partly because we were one of the last sittings. The food was exceptional, if theres a cheese soufflé on the menu I’m going to try it and this one was delicious next I had the skate wing and it was so good I forgot to take a picture before I stared. The cocktails were very good as well and as you would expect the service was perfect. I will definitely be coming back here. It’s not the cheapest but its good value for a special occasion. My recommendations would be book early and if possible pop by before you book and ask to see inside and decide where you would like to sit. It’s a true gem of a restaurant

As a lover of seafood, J Sheekey did not disappoint with the quality of food and service. The interior was classy and classic with a variety of celebrity portraits adorning the walls. The food was delicious and filling, with my favourite being the massala and pilaf rice, which had a very creamy texture. Our server Chris gave exceptional service and was very attentive and professional. There was a lot of choice on the menu, hence, I would love to return to try other dishes.

Outstanding food. Sophisticated, cozy and comfortable restaurant with friendly staff. I've eaten here several times over the last 7 years and I have never been dissapointed with the food or the service. My first and only negative is the outside area, it used to be open so there was an air flow, there were heaters and blankets, a smoking option, I used to love sitting here, more recently this outside area has been closed in with plastic which I personally find tacky. Putting the outside area to one side... I highly recommend this restaurant 👌
