  • "The fish and prawns that we ordered were overcooked."

Service

Pros:

  • "Waiter who served us took his time to ensure things were perfect."
  • "Recommended for the service too as they leave you alone rather than hovering."
  • "Our waitress, Irma, sent us the first round of prosecco, then said ‘oh they look a bit flat, let me change for new ones for you.’ without us noticing it even."

  • "Great service by Alex, he really has put extra efforts trying to make our experience great."
  • "Angela our waitress was excellent and very attentive to all our requests and needs."

  • "Really poor customer service! Had to walk away after talking to two of the waitresses."
  • "The waitresses on the floor were unbearably rude and need immediate training."
  • "The worst service I have ever received from beginning to end."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "The prices were quite high, but totally worth it."
  • "Excellent Fish Restaurant. Fish Works offers attentive service, a comprehensive fish menu with a number of highly original choices, accomplished cooking, and a great French Sauvignon Blanc for only £24 a bottle."
  • "Nice and reasonably priced fish restaurant in central London."
  • "£100 for two people, including bread basket, two sides, mains, and two glasses of wine was reasonable considering the quality of the food and the location."
  • "Total for grilled seafood platter, two fillets of sea bass, two big prawns and one small scallop plus a side salad was £32 all in."
  • "£18/£22 for 2 or 3 courses is excellent value."
  • "Most importantly prices are very affordable for the quality you get."
