Service from the moment we stepped in was amazing, they were all friendly (especially Maria who was our server), gave excellent recommendations and added a last minute extra seat to our table.We were recommended to order one of everything for five people which was perfect, the food was delicious and freshly cooked. The margaritas were also lovely and it had a really lively, warm atmosphere.Would highly recommend and it's definitely top of my list for the next time I have guests!

Great food and the service was super friendly.The prawns, ceviche and cauliflower pieces were my top picks.

What a lovely seafood experience and good value. Small plates of prawns, cauliflower, fries, chilli white bait and ceviche was so well cooked and tasty.A banging 80s soundtrack was playing today. Service was excellent and just a lovely experience.

Just stunning food. Fresh, vibrant perfectly seasoned, perfectly balanced. Every single dish (and we ordered every single one). Better fish than a Michelin star one a couple of months ago in Scotland.

Some of the best fish in London. Honestly a must try if you're in the area. Halibut collars were to die for!

Wow we loved it! The food was amazing, every single dish was superb, the owners who run it are very friendly too and you can see the kitchen in front of you all of which makes it a very personal yet down to earth experience. We used First Table to get 50% off the food bill and it was the best bargain I've had in London ever! We will be back as they didn't have any oysters when we went and we didn't get to try their famous Bloody Mary either plus the food is so nice and changes often you have to come back!

Dined in one word “Delicious”

My mum and I had a great meal here last weekend. The service was great, very friendly, and the food was amazing! I'm not usually a great eater of fish, but I enjoyed all the dishes we had so much! Definitely a fish convert! It was a cosy spot and really near the station. Will definitely be going back in the summer to sit in the outdoor seating!

Delicious food, fish at its best!

Fantastic staff and awesome food! The only improvement is the venue, given its winter everyone is crammed inside with little to no space to move.Another positive is being able to chat with the chef while seated!I highly highly recommend this place! Great food and wine

Please do come and most fantastic delicious food I have ever seen. It is unbelievably tasty and I enjoyed the seafood so much. It is such a cute and small restaurant but it is very high quality!Parking: After 6pm. All car parking is free.

You can tell from my profile that I don't rate to crash restaurants' ratings but me and my friend (met for dinner and didn't see each other afterwards in the coming days) we both had very severe poisoning which caused both of us to seek medical care and even after that its impacts lasted for a week. I emailed the restaurant to inform and seek an explanation, which they responded after 1 week, confirming that I was most likely due to the oyster (their supplier had another complaint on the same batch). I had only 1 oyster to try, choose from the menu wisely.

Superior food! We ended up paying £85 for 2x people for food and extra £20 for drinks. Via FirstTable app you can get -50% off the food menu so I recommend getting the app, however at the time we didn’t know so we paid full price - which non the less is worth it and the team deserves it. Intimate small venue with open kitchen where you can see the chefs doing their magic. Keep in mind that the ventilation is making it really cold inside, but that I assume is to prevent the restaurant from getting smelly/smoky as it’s open kitchen.Everything was *to share*, however the portions are not very big so I’d recommend either ordering 2x of each or more items from the menu if you’re really hungry (I assume the small size is to invite customers buying more). I’ve not had such amazing seafood meal in a while, seasoning is to die for. We started with the oysters (6 for £16, £2.7 per oyster) - they had their own whiskey sauce to compliment the oysters and it was delicious! We ordered ox cheek & miso croquettes (4 for £9); one dish which is 2x pieces of fish on a bone with spring onion, but I don’t recall the name (probably around £10-12), huge garlic king prawns (I think it was 4/5 for £12) which are a bit tricky to peel, it definitely got messy and we didn’t have bowl of water/wet napkins to clean our hands which would’ve been helpful as napkins were sticking to our fingers; whole crispy bream (450gr for £25) cooked to perfection yet slightly salty for my taste; mackerel skewers (2 for £12.5). The mackerel was my all time winner, the sauces for each dish are beyond this world and it’s elevating the meals to a whole new level.The tables are with high chairs, I’d say they can’t fit more than 4 people and tables are close to each other. I’m looking forward to coming back with friends, this time I’d enjoy the 50% discount to spare my budget haha. Don’t sleep on this cute restaurant, it’s a gem :)

I think this must be my new favourite restaurant in the local area. I didn't know about this place until September when I went for a mate's birthday and have been back numerous times since including two consecutive days over Christmas.I have been through every dish on the menu but have to keep returning for the specials and the changes added to the menu. Favourite dishes for me have been the halibut collars, oh wow how amazing they were. Every time I go I have to have the ceviche, oh wow it is so beautiful - bursting with flavours, textures and colours. It's all bloody amazing but even the fries are the best I have ever had; perfectly seasoned, crunchy on the outside and like little fluffy clouds on the inside.Have no photos to display as when the food is in front of you it needs to be eaten, not photographed in my personal opinion.Wicked cocktails including my favourite - Negroni. Lovely Vino Verde to accompany the food as well.Every visit has been a 10/10 for me and I hope that the standards stay this high as it really is something quite wonderful.Also value for money has to be mentioned, you'd easily pay double, probably more if you go up town and you won't necessarily get the same quality or passion.I can't wait for the team to return from their well deserved break, I will be waiting at the door. Love your passion, food and work guys. Here's to 2024.

The prawns and the whitebait were the best, but every single dish was delicious. I'll certainly be coming back
