5 /5 Em El: Amazing time with my friend at this establishment, before I even begin reviewing the food and our experience, I want to say a special thanks to Annie the person that attended to us on the day who was particularly so friendly, helpful, honest and very professional, she made our first time at Bar Beach Grill Lewisham even more memorable by her “human” approach! She is a very hard working and attentive person, she is basically the perfect example of the attitude and attributes you would want to see in a person that works in the food service and hospitality industry. Now on to the food, and it was simply delicious! And I mean every thing, from our starters to our mains, which all tasted so fresh, just be warned that the portions are very generous and of course we took our left overs back home. My starter was the squid which came with a light sweet chilli vinegar dip, as Iam the calamari queen, this was possibly one of the best that I have had in London, my starter was packed full of fresh and zingy flavours, served on a bed of salad and decorated with chillies, I thoroughly enjoyed it, my friend got the wings with a herb and garlic sauce, the wings which were grilled along with the sauce were just perfect (key word in this review PERFECT) for our mains I got the surf and turf with a side of jollof rice and I absolutely loved the way the dishes were presented, everything was seasoned down and cooked perfectly! My friend who is the seafood boil king, had absolutely no complaints, all the main ingredients within a seafood boil were present and there was PLENTY of everything too! he went with jollof rice and suya chips for his two sides, actually the seafood boil is more than enough to share between two people to be honest because it was a plentiful serving.
I took a little taste of the seafood boil, here and there and of course it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. For our drinks I had a frozen strawberry daiquiri and my friend got a pina colada, no complaints from us about the drinks, overall 10/10 experience and the food was just so good, the ambience was perfect from the moment we walked in. The only thing i would note is that,
Bar Beach Grill Lewisham is very tight in the sense of size but the ceilings are very high, so I did not feel too claustrophobic, the music was great, honestly just the perfect setting for a meal. I rang beforehand just to double check on the parking and I was told that they use the Asda parking, the location of the restaurant is in the perfect place and it is easy to locate. Definitely a spot I would love to return to sometime in the future, we were all smiles when we left.
