We say…

J Sheekey began life as a small oyster bar in London’s West End before being adopted into the Caprice Holdings family, where it joined legends like The Ivy and Le Caprice. Today, it is as popular as ever and fish and seafood fans come from far and wide to dine in the wood-panelled alcoves and perch on high stools at the counter. The menu showcases the very best the sea has to offer, with their famous Plateau de Fruits de Mer taking centre stage. Popular dishes include baked spiced crab with garlic toast; Cornish fish stew; and J Sheekey’s classic fish pie. There are meat and vegetarian options too, and an extensive wine list with some excellent by-the-glass offerings.

I had another delicious pre-theatre supper at J Sheekey. As always, I was annoyed by the £2/person service charge. This appears to relate to a small basket of just OK bread.
