“ A lovely meal, unfussy, well cooked, tasty food support by good unobtrusive service. Would highly recommend for a nice meal in Convent Garden. Tuna was amazing. ”
“ We booked the FishWorks as a celebration after my daughters degree show. It wasn’t that busy while we were there - we generally prefer to eat early. The waitress was great and very helpful - we have brought flowers which she kindly put in water while we ate. We ordered a tasting platter for two. She offered, and brought, the cold platter first, followed by the other two. The quality of all of it was excellent. The calamari was very good and tender. And it was great to compare the different fish. We had a bowl brought for shells, the equipment for lobster and finger bowls to help clean our hands. To be honest, I enjoyed it so much I was saying to my husband later that we should go. The vibe was relaxed but the food such great quality that we would have a great evening. ”
“ We wanted an understated but quality Valentine’s Day meal/brunch and this plaice (pun intended) hit the spot. Negative: Minimal choice if you’re not a seafood lover ( not sure why you’d choose a seafood restaurant if you don’t like seafood). Positives: Amazing array of seafood as you would expect, cooked to a high standard and excellently presented. Bright, modern decor/lighting, appropriate nautical theme. Value for money especially considering the location. But the biggest positive and main reason we will be returning, is the staff. Welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Offered suggested on both food and wine, all servers provided hospitality which is often lacking in busy central London restaurants. Would 100% recommend for seafood lovers. ”
“ Visited Fishwork for my bae’s birthday celebration! The overall experience was awesome. One take away, the “value for money” factor is a scope for improvement. The fish has great flavours and butter with lobster was umami laden. If I have to pick one dish that was a winner - this was scallops. Definitely recommend visiting! ”
“ We visited FishWorks three times this week—it’s simply that good! You really can’t fault this restaurant. The fish is always of premium quality and consistently excellent. We’ve been coming here for years, and it remains our absolute favorite. The staff are incredibly attentive and welcoming. It’s always a pleasure to see Giga and her amazing vibes—she brings such warmth and energy to the place. We also recently met Kristela, who was very attentive, polite, and had a truly positive attitude. She’s also wonderfully apologetic if there’s even the slightest delay—such a professional! FishWorks continues to deliver top-notch food and service every single time. ”
“ It was a Friday afternoon and we had a very late lunch at 4pm. The signboard said they have the best fish and chips. Having just arrived in London, I was very keen to have this so I walked in. In summary, the waiting staff were all very hospitable. Food was great. We had fish and chips, and a seared yellow fin tuna. Flavour was spot on and I enjoyed every mouthful. Nothing is perfect and if I had to pick on something, I would say the chips could be a little more crispy and the tuna would be a bit more medium rare. Again I’m more the happy with the food the way it is. 10/10 for service 9.5/10 for food 9/10 for atmosphere This place is well worth a try. I’m not disappointed and I hope you won’t be too. ”
“ The four of us really enjoyed this experience, the food and service were excellent. All the staff were very happy and positive which contributed to the whole experience. From the simple cod and chips to the more adventurous items on the menu, the quality was brilliant. Would definitely recommend and will visit again next time we are in the area. ”
“ We had a superb meal here, with excellent food and wine. In particular I liked the seared tuna, which was absolutely delicious. What did let it down was the service. We visited about 2pm, and I appreciate that this is between main service times, but there were some definite issues notwithstanding having three different waiting staff over our visit, which I'd expect as they rotate breaks. Our starter was completely forgotten, so we went straight to our main course. My wife chose from the fish selection on ice, but the 'fishmonger' didn't know where the gills were on the fish to show her, which doesn't show the sort of product knowledge you'd maybe expect. Overall, absolutely would visit again as the fish was really well cooked, and dessert was also great quality. ”
