I went to Sheekeys today after it was highly recommended by friends. What an amazing place! Really unique and special. The food was delicious and the whole team built our meal around the show we were seeing... We had an amazing meal, drinks, laughter and VIP treatment. Cristian was brilliant. Such a gentleman. A really pleasure and I'm glad now I can start recommending the place too.

Food was okay! the fish pie was great, but the fish and chips were not so great. It’s better other places in London. Fun evening but not worth the price.

Incredibly mouthwatering and tasty food (which is good because the prices can get steep) ! Wonderful seafood and a very famous location. Lovely photos of famous theatre actors/ tress who have eaten there.

Excellent location in the theatre district, very elegant and relaxed atmosphere, our waiter was very friendly and accommodating of our late arrival. The menu is mainly fish and shellfish. All our food was perfectly cooked. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality and experience make it worth it. Would definitely eat here again.

Having seen the food pics, I've been wanting to go for a while.. Took the opportunity to go for an after theatre dinner as it was limited in choice over how many restaurants were open at that time.. Booked the set meal as thought it would be quick for them and us considering it would be late.. 10.30pm.. It was packed when we got there and waiter stood by us demanding our drink order.. I asked for 2 mins as we hadn't even had the opportunity to open the menu seeing as he asked the moment he handed it to us.. He was really unhappy about me asking him to come back in 2 mins..! When he did, we gave our order and he asked what we wanted for food.. I said I'd booked the set menu so could we please have the menu.. Ha walked off in a huff, came back with ONE menu for the 4 of us.. he then asked what we wanted, I asked for a couple of mins so we could look at the menu.. He then proceeded to tell me it was late and we had to order.. I said yes, but could we have 2 mins to see what was on the menu.. The food was really good.. so worth visiting for that.. what I will say is, if you're going to open late, then surely we are allowed same courtesy as other diners..? If you don't want us there, then close earlier..? We ordered really quickly and ate as quickly as possible, there were still people there when we left.. but it made for the experience really uncomfortable and I can't say I'd go again.. Btw, instead of giving me a bottle I asked for, he gave my friend and I a glass each.. probably fearing we'd be there ages drinking.. but a bottle between 4 ppl is literally just over a glass each anyways.. 😂 I hate giving negative reviews but just feel he was rude and it wasn't necessary. if you offer to open late, then you need to provide the same level of service, perhaps giving us the heads up that kitchen would close soon would have been much more tactful..

The food from start to finish was amazing and very tasty! I took the monkfish curry which was very good, I'm pleased I selected this because my wife who ordered a cod fillet was slightly disappointed by the size of her dish whereas the curry was suitably filling. For the desert I took my favourite - sticky toffee pudding and this was one of the best I've had. Not too dry, just right. It's quite an expensive restaurant but you do get what you pay for, great service and food.

Food was spectacular. Caviar, scallops, and halibut were to die for. All paired with lovely wine. Service was impeccable (waiter was from Romania but didn’t catch his name but he was amazing!). Our first ever date was at J Sheekey and 15 years and two kids later it did not disappoint!

We visited this restaurant for a Valentine’s meal and opted for seats at the bar. The food was good but not super and as expected, on the pricier side. We don’t mind paying for quality food and service, especially for special occasions, but while the dishes were well-prepared, the portions were quite small. Unfortunately, the service didn’t quite meet the standard we expected given the premium pricing and the 13.5% service charge. My partner’s chair was frequently bumped by staff, and I noticed a general lack of attentiveness. On my way back from the restroom, staff didn’t make way, which felt inconsiderate. I also observed a waitress placing a dish down and then reaching across the plate, her arm touching the food—something that shouldn’t happen in a restaurant of this caliber. Similarly, when clearing our plates, the waiter reached right across me for the plates instead of taking the extra step around, which felt careless. There were other small but noticeable lapses—at one point, I was nearly knocked over by someone rushing up the stairs with boxes stacked high, and the staff at the counter seemed rushed and inattentive. I even saw one casually toss a dressed crab aside, sending it spinning. Overall, while the food was enjoyable, the experience didn’t quite justify the price. The atmosphere felt very flat. I had expected a more refined, Old English charm, but it didn’t quite deliver on that front. With more polished service and attention to detail, it could be worth revisiting, but as it stands, it fell a little short of expectations and I wouldn’t say it’s worth the price.

Everything was perfect except we were seated the covered area but it was so cold despite the blanket and the wall heaters

Excellent drinks, amazing atmosphere and even better service by Monika. She went above and beyond looking after us.

I haven’t been to J Sheekey in a while but visited for my birthday in January. The service was top notch. The food overall was lovely. The split sole and crab starter in particular was exceptional. However the scallops were very disappointing. They hadn’t been prepared properly. Very gritty and chewy. For the price, I would expect a lot better.

Simply my favourite restaurant. Served by Phillipe 5 Star service.
