Our server Ali came out to take our order and helped service us through the evening. I am in hospitality so I know great service, finding out she is a manager made sense as you could tell by her passion, humbleness and approachabbility, you can definitely tell her energy and personality differed from the floor and shown as a great leader and that attitude you cannot teach and fake. As for the food, the zucchini or courgette(however you call it) was clean, thinly sliced with a smoked flavor without a burn mark on it. The Iberico secreto was great and if you haven't tried Iberico, its a game changer as I am a pork conssieuer. It's the Japanese wagyu of pork. A little goes a long way and I had my fair share of wagyu. Basque cheesecake was creamy and cheesy and different. Would recommend trying it once as I see this all over menus with Spanish influence restaurants Ask for Ali, trust me on this. Even if you don't like the food, the service will make the experience. You cant teach attitude and she was on point and experiences make you come back. Wherever you go and anyone that has you employed are lucky to have you!

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.

Whenever I travel, I really like to sample the local seafood. When I asked the hotel front desk…read morefor a list of seafood restaurants nearby, they recommended the Oystermen. It was also in the Michelin guide so I grabbed reservations for 5:30 pm the week before my trip. I got there promptly and was seated at an impressive counter that showcased the oysters and the crab for the day. The oysters they had were the Louet, Loch Fyne and Jersey Rocks - I had two of each. These oysters were huge and they were really fresh. The Loch Fyne was my favorite. For my starter, I ordered the jumbo prawn and I was a little shocked at how big it was - it was almost as large as a lobster. It was also super meaty and had a lot of shrimp butter. For my main course, I ordered the lobster risotto. Loved it. I really wanted to have one of the local crab but just had no room for anything other than dessert, which was a tiramisu that wasn't too sweet. For my non-alcoholic pairing, I had one of the spritzes. Service was good and it's always dinner and a show when sitting at the bar counter (they literally shucked the oysters right in front of me). Dinner was about £96. The ambiance was very casual and they had Latin music playing that night. The next day, I just had to come back to try the crab. They took me as a walk-in around 5:30 pm. I again sat at the counter and they recognized me from the night before. I told them that I came back for one of the Dorset crabs. I got the smallest one, which was 1.5 kilos. The crab was meaty and fat and it was intimidating for me to eat but I methodically worked through that crab in about an hour. Needless to say, I was stuffed. Dinner that night was about £50. This place is highly, highly recommended!!!

This is THE SPOT for simple, delicious seafood. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to…read moreseat us immediately on a Friday evening. We ordered Japanese dressed oysters, Rockefeller dressed oysters and the full seafood platter (feeds 2 as a meal, 3-4 as a starter). The platters come in smaller and larger sizes, as well. The Rockefeller oysters were dressed with spinach, cheese and breadcrumbs. The toppings masked the oyster flavor. The Japanese oysters were lighter, topped only with ginger, soy sauce and wasabi. It basically tasted like sushi but with a slimey texture. This one definitely retained more of the oyster flavor. Interesting to try, but I'd recommend just sticking with naked seafood. The best part was the platter - and it was HUGE. Seafood usually isn't filling for us but this left us stuffed. The platter came with 6 oysters, a dressed crab, 3 baby lobsters and piles of clams, escargot, mussels, and shrimp. We were sitting at the bar, and the man shucking oysters snuck us 2 more oysters. The oysters were good, but nothing spectacular. My favorites were the baby lobsters, escargot and mussels. The lobster was difficult to open but the meat was so sweet! The mussels were cooked perfectly - not chewey but not too soft. And the escargot was just fun to pick out of the shell and eat. The shrimp was average tasting, tedious and slightly annoying to peel. Clams were very small. The crab, which included the head and legs, were dressed with cheese and chives. It was okay to me but my boyfriend LOVED it. The platter was £64 but definitely worth it considering the amount of seafood you're getting. I want to go back to Wright Brothers but my wallet is telling me "no."

Just a couple of minor service hiccups kept it from being a perfect five-star experience.

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.
