Very interesting take on seafood with dishes made of seafood but prepared in ways entirely different that you typically expect.

I loved the whole experience, starting from the fact of a Michelin starred restaurant located in Hackney. So not into west London! Food was great, very particular and curated in every detail. Loved the picked oysters and the cuttlefish cacio e Pepe in particular, other than the crab bun. Great wine list, reasonably priced. Great cocktails. So bad it is closing, would have loved to go back! Will enjoy Pearly Queen in the meantime! 😀

If the restaurant was in Soho it would be packed to the ceiling for every sitting. I look forward to it’s reincarnation. The food is exceptional, service unfussy and professional. 10/10

We love the food here and are so sad that it is closing in July. Enjoyed the focus on fish and even enjoyed oysters which are not a favourite. Not cheap but worth it for a decent meal. . While the special London festival menu was £40 a head, portions are modest and with service and one glass of wine was over £100. Best wishes to the team
