   Malgré un cadre très agréable et joli la clientèle en groupe de plus de 5 reste extrêmement bruyante et gâche le moment

   The four of us really enjoyed this experience, the food and service were excellent. All the staff were very happy and positive which contributed to the whole experience. From the simple cod and chips to the more adventurous items on the menu, the quality was brilliant. Would definitely recommend and will visit again next time we are in the area. Thank you to all concerned.

   Being Xmas thought the restaurant would be busier than it was. Perhaps that tells a story. The food was ok but the service was left wanting

   Great staff, wonderful menu for fish lovers. Would be a good idea to have a chicken option for people that don’t like fish.

   As always, had a very enjoyable meal. The food is consistently good and everyone enjoyed the meal, and even those in our party who are not fans of fish found something they enjoyed on the menu. We also shared a bottle of the house sauvignon blanc which was delicious. Our waitress was particularly lovely - very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I have been a fan of the Fishworks chain from its very beginning and it remains a "go to" option for me when looking for a good quality, reasonably priced meal in central London with family and friends.

   A real gem; unpretentious but welcoming. I’ve never had a bad experience at any of their locations.

   Last night, we returned to Fishworks, drawn back by memories of their exquisite seafood and warm service. From the moment we entered, the gracious Polish manager, recognised me from my previous visit and made me feel truly welcome—a rare touch in London. Our charming, young server guided us through the menu with care and enthusiasm, offering insightful recommendations. I opted for the grilled dover sole, which was cooked to perfection. The fish was so fresh it might well have leapt straight from the sea to my plate. The wine recommended by Katya, a crisp Sancerre was also perfectly chilled and complimented both of our dishes! The newly refreshed décor and subtle, but elegant decorations added a touch of modern elegance without losing the timeless charm. With its refined yet inviting atmosphere, Fishworks continues to set the standard for exceptional seafood dining. We shall certainly return!

   Excellent food and service at reasonable value (taking the seasonal set menu). As usual in restaurants these days, wine adds disproportionately to the bill.

    Good value fish - the bouillabaisse was outstanding but there wasn't much seafood with the linguine. The service should be more attentive (may be short-staffed?) but overall it was a good experience.
