J Sheekey in City of London

Fairly swanky place, that can be found down a side street between Leicester Square and Covent Garden. The food and drink was expensive (3 courses and drinks for 4 people came to well over 500 quid), but you do get what you pay for, as the food was exceptional. The service was a little bit of a mixed bag. Our server was very friendly, but I felt some staff did look down on us a little. Overall a great evening and I would eat here again. One thing to mention though, is the place is VERY cosy. I'd even go as far to say it's a little cramped. So I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with accessibility issues or those not wanting to be sat really close to other patrons.

Visited here as a treat for my birthday - I have always wanted to try the food as seafood is my favourite. I wasn't disappointed. The service was excellent. The restaurant was busy, however both the food & service was first class. We booked to sit at the bar, as this had been recommended to us. Great atmosphere. I already want to go back!!

My husband gave me a surprise 65years - birthday lunch yesterday at this restaurant. The ambient design. Decoration were amazing. Customer service was top-notch. Seafood were super fresh. My husband ordered Monkfish curry. It was superb tasty. The Triple cheese soufflés are to die for. ❤ Highly recommended ⭐️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐💯% would be back again.

Amazing staying power! Always there for me since ‘06! Nice ambient, great food, polite staff. An old school feel to it is also appreciated. A regular here!! AAA

Disclaimer : I hate fish and seafood but having spent years booking this restaurant weekly for people I worked with over a decade ago I felt the need to try it pre theatre last Friday.There are plenty of options for non fish and seafood Eaters. We were pushed for time so I didn’t get to sample more than a main but my goodness, the squash risotto was INSANE. So tasty and moreish.A wonderfully relaxed atmosphere in the heart of theatre land. I’ll definitely be back to try some other dishes.

Great seafood platter at a good price! But I wasn't that impressed with the service. Speed and accuracy were all good and exactly as they should be for a restaurant of this calibre, but, having spent 20 years in Singapore and (especially) Bali, where one is greeted with a more genuine smile, I find here in the UK (and clearly this is not just a reflection of Sheekey's) the depth of feeling is missing. More often than not when I go to say thank you and look up at the server, half way through the server's reply they are already looking away...it's like they know what they should say and that's it...but don't let that put you off coming here! The food is excellent and I'm just being fussy!

One of the best seafood restaurants in London. I had an amazing time, the staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was phomenonal 😋

This is a classic restaurant in London.If you are around and love seafood, and food in general, you cannot miss it!! They also have really good wines and champagnes.The service is superb, we got served by a guy from Ecuador who spoke perfect English, Spanish, French and Italian. He was absolutely brilliant. The guy at the door is also very nice.I highly recommend it!!!

I love J Sheekey so much!!! The level of hospitality they maintain in such difficult times is incredible. I particularly appreciate how they make every guest feel special rather than saving kindness for VIPs as so many other places do. Perfect spot for any special occasion.

Came for a Monday lunch, and had a blast!Yep his is not a cheap institution, but the quality and the execution speak for themselves.The place takes you back in time, with its old steakhouse / airport lounge vibe.The oysters were really fresh and yummy, and both fish portions were delicious.The apple pie was also great and service is smooth.Will definitely come back again!
