The Oystermen Seafood Bar & Kitchen - (Near Westminster, london)

Christopher Villegas If you enjoy eclectic, odd, unconventional places in London, this checks all the boxes. Starting from the street, you can already tell this place is going to be special. When you open the door, your first reaction should be WOW! It reminds me of being on stage and backstage all at once. If there is room in one of the box seat tables, ask for them as you get a fantastic vantage point of the entire restaurant. The food is delicious and does follow the Mediterranean inspired menu. Some of the items are large enough to enjoy on their own without having to do the preset course. The bathrooms have explicit and sexual visuals so if you’re bringing kids, be ready to do some explaining. There are usually live performances daily and typically in the evening hours. Plan accordingly. They also cater to large parties so depending on time/date, they might be completely booked. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful when it came to ordering items off the drink and food menu. There is a tribute area to Richard, who seemed to be the spirit of the restaurant. If you have some time, be sure to look at the tribute area near the entrance.

Sarah H As a lover of seafood, J Sheekey did not disappoint with the quality of food and service. The interior was classy and classic with a variety of celebrity portraits adorning the walls. The food was delicious and filling, with my favourite being the massala and pilaf rice, which had a very creamy texture. Our server Chris gave exceptional service and was very attentive and professional. There was a lot of choice on the menu, hence, I would love to return to try other dishes.

Angie Heaney Outstanding! Intimate tapas, cosy, with a great atmosphere. Excellent food, the garlic & chilli king prawns were utterly delicious, lemon & herb chicken, patatas bravas & mixed croquettes were all super tasty. King prawns were the star of the show for us. Staff were all excellent. Highly recommend you visit, you won’t be disappointed. We will definitely return next time we visit London.

Sim Birgin Located in the liveliest part of Covent Garden, it has a pleasant atmosphere. The food is delicious, especially the venison dishes, which are truly excellent. They have a wide variety of wines on their menu. The staff are attentive and friendly. The only downsides were the slightly long waiting times before and after ordering. It might be a good idea to be aware of this during busy times.

Seiriol Dawes-Hughes High quality food served by charming staff in a classy setting. Great location for a pre-theatre meal. The schnitzel was great and the shared souffle was well worth the wait and made for a fun end to the meal. It was quite pricey but this is central London after all and it felt like a great. It got rather noisy towards the end of our meal as the place filled up to capacity. But would definitely return for a pre-theatre meal in the West End

Bleubirdy99 We made bookings for £15 Steak Frites, where is happening for the whole of January, the steak was cooked to perfection and the sauce went so well with everything.The other meal that we ordered was lunch and theatre 3 course meal, I liked everything that we ordered expect for the salmon starters which tasted like canned tuna and it was also very salty for our liking. The only negative part about the restaurant is that the tables are all packed close together.
