Service and Staff Attitude

Pros:

• "From the moment we stepped into FishBowl, we were welcomed by the staff."
• "The restaurant surprised my sister with a birthday cake and played Steve Wonder’s Happy birthday song for her as a surprise."
• "Fantastic customer service, kept my seafood boil in the bag so that it can stay warmer for longer."
• "From the moment my family and I walked in, service was outstanding."
• "The only saving grace was the sweet potato fries which I will admit were perfectly cooked!"

Cons:

• "But the bigger lady with black hair was making smart jokes that I didn't like."
• "The waiter was not very knowledgeable and couldn't give us details on portion sizes, which made it difficult to decide what extras to order."
• "Service was awful. The waitress didn't write down our order and managed to get most of the order wrong."
• "The staff was surprisingly rude and seemed like they couldn’t care less."
• "First time visiting the Fish Bowl. Unfortunately felt very rushed by first server to place our orders for food and drink."

Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

• "The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the Atmosphere was cosy."
• "Food was awesome, lobster prawns, crab all succulent juice flavours, sweetcorn was on another level."
• "The food was so tasty 2 of us had the crab boil bag and the other 3 diners had seabass with chips."
• "I ordered a seafood boil bag. Picked it up after I finished from work. The seafood was hot; which I loved."
• "The food was just lovely. Very tasty and more than enough to eat."

Cons:

• "I was so disappointed in the quality of the food here. The ambiance and staff are amazing but the food just didn’t do it for me at all."
• "Firstly the corn tasted like it was almost at its expiry date, some of the shrimp shells were chewy."
• "Prawns and lobster extremely overcooked making it rubbery; prawns were not clean still had it feces inside; potatoes undercooked and extremely salty."
• "Everything here is either deep fried or air-fried (except for the boiler bags), and the taste of each plate is very basic and blunt."
• "We ordered the seafood boil bags. Food was much more bland than I had hoped and most of it came out wrong or not what we had ordered."

Ambiance and Environment

Pros:

• "The restaurant atmosphere was really nice, it was a really warming and friendly environment with great music."
• "The place looked nice and appeared to be pretty clean."
• "The atmosphere is amazing, the people are fantastic, and you can feel the love they put into their food."
• "The soundtrack was unobtrusive and lent to the whole experience."
• "Absolutely, utterly delicious... lovely little place in the arches near Brixton station."

Cons:

• "First time diner. Food was ok. Seating was too close to other diners, just pure noisy conversation you had to shout to be heard."
• "We had a few issues upon entry regarding inconsistent temperature checks and hand sanitizer."
• "It was very disappointing money not spent well at this spot. The shop front very attractive and welcoming, however the cocktails were not crafted and mixed well."
• "When you are served a cold lobster please don't complain!! You get thrown out!! Not complaining about the food, it's the attitude of the staff."
• "The train will knock by overhead every once in a while but I think it adds to the atmosphere :)"
