really great fish restaurant. Iconic on the foodie scene. Everything about your time here will be memorable. The wine prices are a bit pricey but that's the price you pay to eat at a place like this. You will not be disappointed by your experience.

Started with oysters which were very fresh and tasty. We ordered the lobster and the sea bass and both were excellent mains. The apple pie and sticky toffee pudding were perfect for dessert. The only thing I would do differently next time is choose different sides. The mashed potatoes were just okay and the spinach was my least favorite of the night being really dry and unseasoned. Overall, everything was excellent for NYE and we will absolutely return.

Very nice fish restaurant in St Martin's Court with excellent menu, wine and cocktail lists. We arrived on time and were shown to our table straight away. Although, we were not impressed when our main courses were brought to the table at different times. I waited for my girlfriend's food to arrive while mine was left to get cold. Also we ordered another drink that didn't materialise at the table and we had to remind the waiter, otherwise this would have been forgotten about. Overall, the food was very good from starter to dessert. However, this was let down by the service which could be improved somewhat. Having said all of this, we will certainly be going back to the restaurant again and would recommend J Sheekey to anyone who enjoys fish and seafood. With thanks!

Slightly disappointed with service- had to ask 2/3 times for a few things- even though been told they were coming, food ok, maybe my choice- but the soft crab burger fell apart, king prawns were delicious but messy and no finger bowl offered. Fish pie ok. Nice experience overall, probably will try again.
