Top tags:

Nestled in a corner of Kingly Court, right behind Carnaby Street, Wright Brothers Soho offers a vibrant menu of seafood and shellfish dishes as well as options for meat-eaters and vegetarian diners. The seafood comes from their very own wholesale company as well as from fisheries around the UK ensuring that only the finest and freshest produce makes the menu.

A drinks list includes a comprehensive range of wines, alongside a seasonal cocktail list and draught beers. In summer guests can dine alfresco in the vibrant Kingly Court courtyard.

A semi-private dining room occupies the majority of the lower ground floor and is available for exclusive hire for up to 18 people. Situated within the open kitchen, it offers a unique view of the chefs at work.

Enjoy £1 oysters from 3-6pm daily.

I had the special, which was lobster. It was cold when initially received, so I sent it back and thought someone would make a new one, but it seems like they popped in the microwave which obviously made it rubbery, which I thought was pretty pathetic! However, I was given a 20% discount on the total bill and the rest of the food was pretty decent, so all wasn't awash!

The servers were brilliant, knew what they were talking about and were very attentive. The food however was full of bones, I understand this comes with fish but every single mouthful had about 4 small bones in it. It made it hard to eat.

I had a particular dish in mind when I made the reservation, so I was somewhat disappointed when it wasn't available. That being said, I did wind up getting one of the special fish dishes for the evening which was lovely. It is a good deal on oysters for happy hour at the Soho location, so I'll likely be back for that!

We love coming here normally, but this time was dreadful. We ordered some oysters to start then waited 15mins to be noticed again and were brought menus. We then waited 10/15mins for wine to be brought over. Then we assume our waitress went on break as we sat there for 20mins with out anything- our wine was taken from table and put back on ice so we couldn’t even top ourselves up. We ended up paying £60ish for 12 oysters and a bottle of wine which we took home as it was a waste without food. A real shame.

My experience was amazing. I had left a note asking for champagne on arrival and my demands were met! We had a lovely time at Wright Brothers, as always. I used to be a member of staff at their London Bridge branch and I’m happy to see that the quality and standards have never slipped: from the delicious sea food to the wines and great, yet discreet service.

Wright Brothers never disappoints in flavour. The main was particularly outstanding. Make sure you order the bbq cabbage as a side dish to accompany your fish. Starter options could however be improved .

The food is amazing. I had the solo sailor to start - mixed shellfish and oysters. Then we had moules and frites. The service was a bit grumpy and we were largely ignored. It’s a bit embarrassing trying to wave to attract some attention. It was Monday night.

We arrived 1 hour early, New Years Eve, and was able to have our reserved seat in the corner, which was excellent. George, who served us, was amazing. Great knowledge, humorous and relaxed. A breathe of fresh air to the usual encounters that I have in London restaurants. He was attentive and not pushy, or overly eager to whisk plates away while mid chew (experienced before in other establishments). We had a seafood platter, very fresh and flavoursome. I do not drink alcohol but George did explain which wine goes well with our selection, which is great for other guests who wish to correctly pair their meal to wine. I also ordered the squid, and fish and chips (keeping the tradition alive). Both were delicious and fresh, not overly salty and well cooked. I will definitely return!

While the food was fine, nothing special but not great either, what really stood out was the very poor attitude of the waiting staff. Unfriendly, and acting like she’d rather be anywhere else, our waitress made us feel most unwelcome. We decided to eat our food quickly and leave to enjoy a dessert elsewhere.

Hugely overpriced for the food quality on offer, ranging from the borderline inedible to the averagely competent. Quite a few items had clearly either just come out of the fridge, just been reheated or had been sitting on the pass for too long. Service was pleasant enough but a bit scattershot. Not somewhere I’d recommend unfortunately, especially at those prices.

Very lovely restaurant with a great selection of seafood and atmosphere. However the staff was incredibly rude, they asked us about 5 times in a matter of few minutes what we wanted to order and especially one gentleman acted like he wanted us to leave asap even though we had a reservation. Me and my friend found this attitude rude and unprofessional. Otherwise, the food and atmosphere were perfect!

Disappointed that so many dishes were unavailable ie all mussels. Felt like we were there on a Sunday and staff were exhausted kept being told reason why they did not have certain things was because they had been so busy the day before !!! Not great when you are having a celebratory meal there

Food good. Staff friendly but disorganised and very slow to provide drinks. Placed at a table next to window looking onto Kingly Court, v. Cold due to draught coming through gaps. Would not recommend sitting there in the winter.
