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.

Kitsch sticky menus…read moreneeded a bit of explanation and if the menus change regularly (no oysters , but I'd rather they'd be off the menu than off in my stomach) then perhaps daily printed menus would work. 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.

That being said, we sat outside in the unusually mild weather and devoured some really exquisite food. They certainly weren't huge portions, but boy, they tasted great. To start, melanzone (aubergine with parmesan) was beautiful and the accompanying mozzarella was as soft as a cloud. My main, halibut with asparagus, was as much a treat for the mouth as the eyes. My dinner date went for non-fish dishes and enjoyed both her scallops and tortellini. The only reason I'm not awarding five stars is the ambience, which was a lil flat - there was only one other couple in the restaurant. But then it was the warmest Friday night we've had in a year so most people were probably getting pub-happy. We were also very happy. They serve a few other non-fishy things like steak, so there's something for everyone. Fish & Wine is low-key fine dining in Herne Hill. I'm hooked.

The service was friendly and relaxed though they were fully booked. Many tables were enjoying this or the mussels. I was still able to enjoy the happy hour which were channel oysters. They were flavorful but not as meaty as I like. The Gillardeau on the other hand were quite possibly the best I've ever had!! What a win. Dinner service was efficient and warm. The roasted hake was perfectly done with one side pan fried to an audible crisp. The textural difference and the flavors of the saffron mash/gremolata all added up to comfort + happiness + surprise. Job well done Wright Brothers!

The restaurant's menu changes all the time depending on whats fresh in that week but I prefer to head straight for the seafood bar where they have a huge selection of oysters to be enjoyed with either a pint of Guiness or a nice bottle of Macon. Keep an eye out for special offers as they have a hotel here to and often offer some great deals on food and a bed for the night.

I had the fish cake and mac & cheese because I didn't want anything too heavy as well as a rum punch. All was really good. I think it could've had a little bit more Wray and nephew, but it definitely did taste great. my fish cake and macaroni and cheese had amazing flavor. No complaints. I just wish I had more on the plate because it was that good. also pictured you will see the fish broth in the back of my picture and the person at the table that ate it cleaned the bowl so they said it tasted amazing and hit the spot.

They know that when you order takeaway fish and chips you must be stomach-clenchingly famished and very tired. Marina Fish Restaurant is a smartly decorated, modern looking fish and chip restaurant. Before I called by, I had actually thought it was a fish restaurant in the broader sense, due to the name and the look of the place. Actually I think they are missing a trick in not offering a wider choice of fishy treats, as I'm sure there would be demand in the area, and it's good-looking enough for people to come for the evening and spend a little more on dinner. The takeaway is tasty, but a bit expensive. The classy cardboard boxes printed with the restaurant's name look good (a childish bit of me thinks 'ooh, fancy!' each time, and feels like I have gone up in the world, to be purchasing boxed London fish and chips as if it is a fancy fish and chips boutique) but by the time I get home the steam build-up has always made everything go a bit limp. I'd be happy to pay a quid less per portion and forgo the box and the lemon wedge.
