• Seafood • Ongar
Booked 66 times today
Priding ourselves on our motto ‘Famous for fish’ Smiths Restaurants is a name that has become synonymous with fine dining and quality, attentive service. Our restaurants are located in Ongar Essex (just off the A414) and Wapping in central London (near Tower Bridge). Both restaurants boast an extensive menu of fresh fish that we offer to cook in a variety of ways to suit every palette. We also offer locally sourced meat dishes to accommodate those who prefer their food terra firma. To compliment the quality of our food we have worked closely with well renowned independent wine merchants to ensure we have a selection of wines that are the perfect accompaniment to every meal. The only problem you may have a Smith’s is being spoilt for choice.

    We came to the restaurant for my daughter’s graduation celebration meal. So welcoming and lovely and warm in general. The place was extremely spotless the food was Devine and the service was consistent to the point we felt completely at home and relaxed with being waited upon we didn’t have to ask for anything. Staff went above and beyond and everything was just perfectly presented. We choose the festive menu which was an amazing selection and everyone’s choice on the menu came out hot and presentation was outstanding. Thank you so much for a great dining experience I would love nothing more to return to this beautiful restaurant.
