Just being here makes you feel special. It’s relaxed and refined. For fish/seafood it‘s a great place. We were here for pre Theatre dinner but would be great for a romantic dinner or celebration.

Ate tapas-style at the oyster bar . The Loch Ryan oysters were wonderfully fresh, and the scallops just melt in your mouth. I'll be dreaming of the treacle tart with clotted cream for weeks...

Mark Lee

£100 will get you a squid starter (super tender), a main [pictured] of a very succulent Dover sole , creamed spinach , broccoli , a glass of wine and a large bottle of mineral water.

David Thair

Get the cold seafood platter for a very generous variety of creatures (even a single portion, pictured, is challenging to finish). The roast equivalent is delicious but much smaller.

The best service in town . Lovely staff Huge plate of fresh fish ! Protein high! Really recommend it. Pop in for pre theatre in the oyster bar .

Bijan Young

A seafood heaven. Oysters , fish and chips , fish pie , grilled sole. Whatever works. Great quality in an intimate environment with caring staff . And in the middle of Leicester square.

Jane Wall

Oysters on half shell, shrimp tempura , dover sole , creamed spinach , lobster , crème brûlée along with a half bottle of Chassagne Montrachet. Not cheap , but fabulous meal!!

Djaia

Top top place! Sea food is brilliant ! Very good ambience and great service. Everything is tasty, fresh, has lovely flavours, amazing presentation. Fine selection of oysters . Try them with champaign !

Ollie Martin

The steak I had here was one of the top 3 meals I've ever eaten. Served simply with French fries , but absolutely melt-in-the-mouth. Very helpful service too.

JingXun Hu

Excellent selection of oysters ! Love the bar ! Spot-on recommendations by the staff . Book a table or be disappointed

Rachel Wang Pang

Try the different type of oysters . What I lived was the grilled octopus , it was cooked just right with the potatos on the side. We got two because it was too good

Djaia

Amazing place.!!! When I want to have perfect seafood .. J Sheekey!!! If I wanna have fresh oysters .. definitely this place.. Try scallops they are amazing... Mmm... In the shells they looks so sexy...

Lana D

Everything we had was delicious, oysters , salmon appetizer eith yuzu sauce, sea bass special and especially the fish pie ! It's a must have!!

Mela Mel

I love this place and always manage to scruff my way through all dishes! Razor clams , oysters , prawns , sea food tower. Everything delicious!

Leon Roy

The Smoked Haddock and poached egg is up there with some of the best dishes I've had (anywhere). If you've got room left the Cru Virunga Chocolate & Honeycomb Brittle is damn good.

María

Dover sole . Off the bone. Looks boring but it is insanely good.

Gail Spencer

The best oysters , scallops and haddock I’ve ever had. And I’ve had a lot) great service and excellent atmosphere! Totally recommend!

Ibtisam Tahir

Mo Sunshine

Radicchio and asparagus salad was incredible, and we split the mixed fish grill with several sides. Delicious meal and impeccable service .

Andrew Ellis

The restaurant is cosier than the seafood bar . Another of my favourite London restaurants . Particularly at night. The food and service is sublime.

stafford crombie

One of the Very Best Restaurants in central London, now even better with outdoor seating in The Atlantic restaurant , simply superb.

Serving some of the best seafood in the city , J Sheekey is located in the heart of Covent Garden , putting you in position for a post-dinner walk through the area's sparkling Christmas lights .

Fahad Alo

The service was excellent. I ordered Grilled Dover Sole and it was fantastic. Also, don't miss the oyster ????????

Eric Moon

Dined at the oyster bar . Great staff & atmosphere. Oysters do not taste like this in the states . Fish pie is delicious-will send you off to bed with a happy belly. A must do in the theatre district.

Brad T

Menu changes often but the grilled halibut was delicious and perfectly cooked. Also, you're at an oyster bar so take advantage.

Becky Jagger

Well looked after by the team at J Sheekey, fantastic service and quality food. Unquestionably one of West End's top restaurants .... Must try!!

Bijan Young

One of the top sea food spots anywhere. Great oysters and fresh shellfish . Cosy, busy, trendy , cool and fun.

Evening Standard

A venerable and chic fish restaurant , J Sheekey has a strict sustainability policy. On the menu at Sheekey's, the "fried fillet of haddock " comes with chips and mushy peas and weighs in at £17.50. Read more

Cyndie Da Rocha

The right balance between cosy, chic and laid-back in the heart of West End.

Evening Standard

If you come on a Sunday the bar morphs into a speakeasy . You’ll be treated (for a fee) to a cabaret performance while you swig oysters and drink ‘Twinkle’ cocktails . Read more

Seafood is the specialty at this Soho restaurant minutes from the West End’s Theater district. Drop in for fresh oysters before or after seeing a play.

Catherine Rickard

Amazing restaurant , service were top notch. Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Levent Akgerman

The best pre-theatre (or post) with razor clams with chorizo and slate being my favorites.

Andrew White

An absolute classic. Good food, excellent service, not too expensive . Great for a date.

Mark Lee

Single diners seated at the counter, so space a little restricted.

Brian Strauss

Delicious beetroot and goat cheese salad . Also enjoyed the fish pie quite a bit.

Tanvi Dewan

Amazing seafood ! They do fruits de mer for one! but beware! It is a lot of food!!

Princess Zamboni

Amazing service and staff - really good seafood . Highly recommend this place :)

Deniz Aslan Ustunes

Bass ceviche and shrimp burger are the best. No need to mention the oysters , they are awesome!

Fish Pie is absolutely divine - the entire experience is incredible. A must do when in London

Jarek Jaroslaw

Great Oysters especially Carlingford Lough kind, great service:)

Andrew O BC 翁

Oh! Must try the superb freshy oyster . Great pleasure to be here

Fresh

Oysters are good, but there is an atmosphere of tension, and seating at the tables is limited. Octopus comes a very tiny portion

Richard Gregory

It doesn't get more London than this. This discreet, classy restaurant is always filled with very important so and so's sipping martini's and eating pukka fish in it's intimate wood-panelled rooms. Read more

Timi William

Lunch time is the best , less crowded and not too noisy to eat and have a nice chat. Great seafood

Lars Rutqvist

The seafood plateau with oysters and lobster was perfect!

P Y Wong

The fish stew and shellfish bisque is heavenly ...

Nisha JamVwal

The buzz the offbeat presentation of food and the general atmosphere had energy & chutzpah
