My mom and I dined at Seabird during our trip to London. We were staying at the Hoxton Hotel where…read morethe restaurant is located, so this was a convenient dinner option for us. We shared three dishes and my mom ordered a salad. We were only moderately hungry, so the portion sizes were perfect for us. The shrimp and scallops were delicious. We shared one other dish that I can't recall the name of, but it also was delicious. We also enjoyed the service here. Our server was attentive although busy. He even took the time to listen to details of our trip and gave recommendations. I would recommend this spot especially if you're staying at The Hoxton or nearby in the Southwark area. Great food, and drinks with a nice view of London from the outside rooftop area.

Service from the two young men was friendly and efficient. We shared the afternoon sea and it was delicious, they were out of mussels but substituted some large smoked clams that were a real treat. We topped it off with some very quaffable English bubbly. All in all a very nice evening.

My wife and I chose this place for our last dinner in London before heading back home to DFW. I had…read moreread about this restaurant in some top 10 lists for foodies visiting London and was dying to check it out. First, it's not in the busy part of London where you would expect a restaurant of this caliber to be but rather it is in a very blue-collar neighborhood on the south side of London. It is a VERY cozy place with only seven tables but that is how they keep the quality and experience so great. The decor is as if you are on an old fishing ship. Reservations are highly recommended but we got there right when they opened (7pm) and thankfully they let us have a table. After being seated the hostess showed us the days specials and they ranged from fantastic scallops to lobster with every choice as good as the last. My wife and I chose the Chef's Choice 8 course dinner. The dinner comprised of a delicious sardine sandwich followed by a fillet of night perch which was then followed by lobster that melted in your mouth. Then we had a pallet cleanser of a light peach sorbet with a shot of vodka poured over it. The meal resumed with a grilled piece of pork belly (I got the "meat" choice) while my wife had a grilled hallibut (she got the "fish" choice). The next course was a warmed cheese (I believe it was gruyere) in pastry accompanied by a small mixed green salad with aged balsamic. The dessert courses were a delicious crepe with creme bruille filling and the end course was a pear puree along with a chocolate pudding with a hint of mint. We loved this place even though the name sort of threw us off at first. When you hear "The Lobster Pot" I imagine a bunch of seniors getting off a day-tour bus to a casino at a truck stop or something but this experience was far from what I first imagined. I would highly recommend spending some of your tourist dollars here at this restaurant.

A delightfully decorative place complete with seagulls singing sea shanty classics on loop. Terrified but glorious goldfish adorning the cabin window walls, really every maritime detail had been thought of, even staff in cabin costumes, it was as cheesy as the lobster Thermidor. So fun. I loved being bibbed up too, I like knowing things are gonna get messy. The Meli, a melee of seafood; half lobster, sea bass, spicy grilled perch, razor clam (touch over done), squid kebab (could've been flavoured more) but all in a sea of buttery champagne and avruga sauce. No tide could hold me back from wanting to lick my plate or use this as a moisturiser, oh my golly so delicious. It came served with enough perfectly cooked veg that my mother would approve of too. Soft butter, less surprise from the proprietor at our arrival and this place would have had a perfect score. Overall our waitress was lovely and the food was really darn good.

We also split the fish pie because we wanted to try it and I would highly recommend ordering that - it was very unique and unlike something I had tasted recently.

As a table, we shared a few goodies to get us started, both a fried calamari and an order of onion rings. The calamari was cooked in rings similar in size to the onion rings! They were plump and had a very textured crunchy exterior, served with tartar sauce. The thick cut onion rings were piping hot and also super crunchy. For the fish-n-chips, each couple shared two different versions, one cod and one haddock. We liked each, the cod was thicker and meatier while the haddock probably tasted better but was thinner. Would come back here if in the area.

I recently had a 3 course set meal for £15, where I started with their Bradan Rost kiln roasted salmon, then the pan fried gilthead bream with braised fennel and a a side of chips, and rounded off with apple crumble and creme anglaise. They were not stingy on the portions, which made the £15 even more worth while. I highly recommend their Bradon Rost pate, with a hint of lemon, topped on some oatcakes. The mackeral pate isn't half bad either, served with brioche and shallot marmalade, an excellent combination. Oh yes and one must try their soups, whatever they have at the time, go for it as it is always a delight. There is a lovely dessert list, of which I would definitely say to go for the sticky toffee pudding, as it is beautiful. There is a comprehensive wine list. I like their Riesling, Whitehaven from New Zealand, it is one of my favourite wines in general, and goes very well with the fish dishes.
