Andrea CarrMay 30, 2018Just being here makes you feel special. It’s relaxed and refined. For fish/seafood it‘s a great place. We were here for pre Theatre dinner but would be great for a romantic dinner or celebration.
عسـافـهـ 💍 سـارهـ العسافMay 26, 2021One of the oldest and most famous seafood restaurants in UK. We enjoyed our evening and t he experience is unforgettable 🤍 make sure you visit it when you are in London
vahnee rajJanuary 29, 2015Ate tapas-style at the oyster bar. The Loch Ryan oysters were wonderfully fresh, and the scallops just melt in your mouth. I'll be dreaming of the treacle tart with clotted cream for weeks...
Mark LeeOctober 29, 2022£100 will get you a squid starter (super tender), a main [pictured] of a very succulent Dover sole, creamed spinach, broccoli, a glass of wine and a large bottle of mineral water.
David ThairJuly 26, 2016Get the cold seafood platter for a very generous variety of creatures (even a single portion, pictured, is challenging to finish). The roast equivalent is delicious but much smaller.
Leven Wenqi LiDecember 15, 2014The best service in town. Lovely staff Huge plate of fresh fish ! Protein high! Really recommend it. Pop in for pre theatre in the oyster bar.
Ollie MartinMarch 7, 2013The steak I had here was one of the top 3 meals I've ever eaten. Served simply with French fries, but absolutely melt-in-the-mouth. Very helpful service too.
DjaiaJune 7, 2013Top top place! Sea food is brilliant ! Very good ambience and great service. Everything is tasty, fresh, has lovely flavours, amazing presentation. Fine selection of oysters. Try them with champaign!
Bijan YoungJanuary 17, 2015A seafood heaven. Oysters, fish and chips, fish pie, grilled sole. Whatever works. Great quality in an intimate environment with caring staff. And in the middle of Leicester square.
Jane WallAugust 7, 2023Oysters on half shell, shrimp tempura, dover sole, creamed spinach, lobster, crème brûlée along with a half bottle of Chassagne Montrachet. Not cheap, but fabulous meal!!
JingXun HuOctober 16, 2017Excellent selection of oysters! Love the bar! Spot-on recommendations by the staff. Book a table or be disappointed
Rachel Wang PangOctober 7, 2015Try the different type of oysters. What I lived was the grilled octopus, it was cooked just right with the potatos on the side. We got two because it was too good- DjaiaOctober 24, 2012Amazing place.!!! When I want to have perfect seafood.. J Sheekey!!! If I wanna have fresh oysters.. definitely this place.. Try scallops they are amazing... Mmm... In the shells they looks so sexy...
Tablet HotelsMarch 6, 2013Serving some of the best seafood in the city, J Sheekey is located in the heart of Covent Garden, putting you in position for a post-dinner walk through the area's sparkling Christmas lights.
Leon RoyJune 11, 2012The Smoked Haddock and poached egg is up there with some of the best dishes I've had (anywhere). If you've got room left the Cru Virunga Chocolate & Honeycomb Brittle is damn good.
Mela MelDecember 15, 2015I love this place and always manage to scruff my way through all dishes! Razor clams, oysters, prawns, sea food tower. Everything delicious!
RAY AAlAJune 20, 2022First one in a very long time, it was pleasant for sure, so far so yummy but I can’t help but think I can fine another to top it off 😅
Becky JaggerMarch 9, 2015Well looked after by the team at J Sheekey, fantastic service and quality food. Unquestionably one of West End's top restaurants.... Must try!!
Mo SunshineMarch 11, 2018Radicchio and asparagus salad was incredible, and we split the mixed fish grill with several sides. Delicious meal and impeccable service.
Eric MoonJune 20, 2011Dined at the oyster bar. Great staff & atmosphere. Oysters do not taste like this in the states. Fish pie is delicious-will send you off to bed with a happy belly. A must do in the theatre district.
Lana DJanuary 3, 2017Everything we had was delicious, oysters, salmon appetizer eith yuzu sauce, sea bass special and especially the fish pie! It's a must have!!
Ibtisam TahirMarch 31, 2016Romantic seafood Resturant .. I'll starter dishes was good and tasty , mixed seashell ,fish of the day , mixed mussels and clam 👍❤️
The restaurant is cosier than the seafood bar. Another of my favourite London restaurants. Particularly at night. The food and service is sublime.- Gail SpencerOctober 29, 2017The best oysters, scallops and haddock I’ve ever had. And I’ve had a lot) great service and excellent atmosphere! Totally recommend!
Evening StandardMay 15, 2012A venerable and chic fish restaurant, J Sheekey has a strict sustainability policy. On the menu at Sheekey's, the "fried fillet of haddock" comes with chips and mushy peas and weighs in at £17.50. Read more
- stafford crombieAugust 6, 2016One of the Very Best Restaurants in central London, now even better with outdoor seating in The Atlantic restaurant, simply superb.
Brad TOctober 20, 2014Menu changes often but the grilled halibut was delicious and perfectly cooked. Also, you're at an oyster bar so take advantage.- Bijan YoungDecember 20, 2015One of the top sea food spots anywhere. Great oysters and fresh shellfish. Cosy, busy, trendy, cool and fun.
Fahad AloFebruary 20, 2019The service was excellent. I ordered Grilled Dover Sole and it was fantastic. Also, don't miss the oyster 🤤🤤
Cyndie Da RochaJune 27, 2022The right balance between cosy, chic and laid-back in the heart of West End.- Levent AkgermanFebruary 5, 2017The best pre-theatre (or post) with razor clams with chorizo and slate being my favorites.

Brian StraussNovember 10, 2015Delicious beetroot and goat cheese salad. Also enjoyed the fish pie quite a bit.
Deniz Aslan UstunesAugust 2, 2014Bass ceviche and shrimp burger are the best. No need to mention the oysters, they are awesome!
Timi WilliamAugust 4, 2013Lunch time is the best , less crowded and not too noisy to eat and have a nice chat. Great seafood
FreshJanuary 14, 2017Oysters are good, but there is an atmosphere of tension, and seating at the tables is limited. Octopus comes a very tiny portion
Andrew WhiteJanuary 3, 2017An absolute classic. Good food, excellent service, not too expensive. Great for a date.
Kevin MorrisSeptember 9, 2013Fish Pie is absolutely divine - the entire experience is incredible. A must do when in London
