    I hadn’t been for a long time. The food was very good and our waiter was lovely but there was a miscommunication with the kitchen and we waited an hour for our main course. Something was taken off the bill which I appreciated but this was a special birthday so still disappointing.

    I had the bisque to start and it was fairly bland it needed more depth. The main was good but the broccoli was over cooked. The service missed the mark.?I had to keep asking for my water to be refilled, dirty plates to be taken away and the waiter tried to deliver another tables food to our table. It was a little underwhelming for a restaurant of this calibre.

    We had a truly excellent dinner. All the dishes were perfect but I still have to mention the deliciousness of the Cornish slip soles. Also hats off to the pastry chef. Overall a delightful evening!

    Got a table fairly last minute, which was really nice. Great service, very friendly yet not in your face. Had delicious seasonal asparagus and the tuna tartar was perfectly seasoned. YUM!

    The food and service was excellent. It was quite cool at our table when we first sat down, and we had to ask twice for the air con to be adjusted.

    Looked forward to eating at J.Sheekey for months. It did not disappoint. Everything was wonderful. The fried Haddock was delicious and was recommended. Would highly recommend if coming to London as a must.

    I have wanted to go for a while having seen it recommended multiple times but I was left disappointed with the mediocrity of the food. A great venue and good service was balanced by overpriced okay fish. You are paying for the location here.
